Agrivite Nutri-Peck Extra Hard Poultry Pecking Block 10kg

A formulated mineral and enrichment block designed for poultry use to support natural foraging and pecking behaviours.

Product description:
A compact, high-density mineral-based pecking block intended for use in poultry environments as a supplementary enrichment and mineral source.

Intended use:

• Designed for use with broilers, game birds, and smaller flocks of laying hens or breeders
• Supports natural pecking and foraging behaviour in poultry through environmental enrichment
• Provides a structured object for pecking activity and beak interaction
• Contributes to environmental complexity within the poultry housing system

Key characteristics:

• Dense, slow-wearing block designed for extended use in poultry housing
• Individually wrapped to support on-farm biosecurity practices
• Suitable for use in indoor or sheltered outdoor poultry systems
• Available in 10kg and 5kg formats

Recommended placement and use:

• Approximate guideline: 1 block per up to 1000 birds (adjust according to flock size, stocking density, and management system)
• Place within poultry housing or run areas where birds can access freely
• Can be mounted on a wall-mounted holder (optional accessory available) or secured in a fixed position to prevent movement and contamination

Environmental considerations:

• Designed to withstand typical poultry housing conditions, including moderate moisture exposure
• Prolonged or heavy exposure to rain may soften the outer surface and increase breakdown rate
• To optimise product longevity and hygiene, placement under cover is recommended where possible
• Alternatively, elevate or suspend the block to reduce contact with standing water or soiled litter
