The naturally active rumen buffer.

Agriton supplies two types of Ostrea lime flour. One species

is made from sea shells and the other from oyster shells, both

from the North Sea. The product is rich in high-quality calcium

carbonate (CaCO3) and is full of essential trace-elements.

1) Seashell Flour

Due to the organic composition, seashell flour has a large buffe-

ring effect, more than for example sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3).

This is particularly noticeable with excessive presence of acids in

the rumen of a cow. These are better buffered with Seashell calf

meal due to the gradual solubility of this product. Seashell flour

therefore has a long operation and ensures stability in the rumen

at a pH between 6 and 7. See figure 1 >>>

2) Oyster Flour

Oyster flour contains less iron than seashell flour.

For cattle farmers, based on ferruginous land, the oyster flour is

therefore a good alternative. See table 1 >>>

Benefits of Ostrea limestone products:

• Higher acid binding factor than sodium bicarbonate.

• Rich in Calcium for sufficient lime supply.

• Prevents rumen acidification.

• Easy to apply:

- during the feeding;

- or sprinkle on the feed.

• Well-absorbable minerals and trace elements due to organic

form.

Ostrea®

Zeeschelpenkalkmeel Voedermiddel rijk aan Calcium en boordevol essentiële spoorelementen op basis van

Calciumcarbonaat. Deze organische bron van mineralen is van groot belang voor de

diergezondheid en het voorkomen van pensverzuring.

Voordelen:

• Hogere zuurbindende factor dan Natriumbicarbonaat

• Rijk aan Calcium voor voldoende kalktoevoer

• Ter voorkoming van pensverzuring

• Goed opneembaar

• Verbetering van de gezondheid door:

Verbetering beenwerk

Hardere klauwen

Verbetering Ca/P balans in rantsoen

Ook leverbaar is Ostrea® Oesterkalkmeel.Deze kalksoort is afkomstig van Oesterschelpen uit de Noordzee. Ten opzichte van de Zeeschelpenkalkmeel bevat Oesterkalkmeel iets minder ijzer. Voor veehouders gevestigd op ijzerhoudende gronden is de Oesterkalkmeel

een goed alternatief (zie tabel).

Solubility of Seashell and Oyster Flours Composition

Cattle farmer: “I am enthusiastic about this product because of its double application. Due to the

long-term effect of the lime meal, my cows no longer suffer from rumen acidity. At the same time

they get a nice addition to the minerals. “ Swap with Devon/Cornsih farmer testimony?

• Improvement of animal health by:

- harder claws;

- better leg work;

- and optimal Ca/P balance in ration.

Because of the gradual solubility, the minerals are long

available. As a result, when using shell limy flour, the dosage of

minerals can be reduced.
