Purina® Layena® Pearls Feed

Purina® Layena® Pearls Extruded Layer feed provides the optimal combination of nutrients laying hens need to stay healthy in a highly digestible, bite-sized pearl. Infused with our exclusive Oyster Strong® System it helps ensure laying hens receive a consistent supply of calcium through a blend of oyster shell, vitamin D and manganese. It utilizes larger particles of oyster shell to provide a steady release of calcium during the night when hens are forming eggshells. Vitamin D is like the taxi that gets the calcium into your hen's bloodstream where it can be transported to where it is needed, while manganese helps strengthen and create the structure of the egg. The Oyster Strong® System brings all three together to help your hens make strong, healthy eggshells.
