AZOMITE and Tibial Dyschondroplasia and Phosphate Uptake into Tibia

Improving the Quality of Broiler Feed with AZOMITE:

Dr. Quarles study revealed that tibial problems were reduced 76% by the presence of 2% AZOMITE (a higher dose than is typically used).  Dr. McNaughton’s study revealed that P deposition in tibia was boosted @ 4.5% by 0.5% AZOMITE.  These 2 studies show that AZOMITE does not interfere with P, Ca, and Vitamin D usage as all 3 are key factors in bone development.
