The Brunelleschi Dome stands tall over the city of Florence, built to last thanks to its double shell. Many years and efforts were needed for the architects to complete the structure.

3 key trace minerals to build an egg that lasts
In the same way, layer hens are real egg architects who face a lot more challenges in a very limited amount of time (20 hours).
They have the tough mission to build a strong double shell for a resistant and healthy egg. We can help her overcome all the challenges she faces:
Skeletal Frame
Ageing

egg architects and supports food safety
STRONGER FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: GUT HEALTH
TIGHT JUNCTIONS
IMPROVED INTESTINAL HEALTH AND IMMUNITY HELP IN THE CONTROL OF SALMONELLA AND E. COLI INCIDENCE
AGEING DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A PROBLEM: LESS CRACKED EGGS
ENHANCED EGGSHELL QUALITY
BETTER PERFORMANCE (EGG MASS, EGG PRODUCTION, FCR)
WELFARE THROUGH HEALTHIER BONES: REARING FOR PRODUCTION
BONE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE THROUGH LONGER LAY CYCLE
