Calcium is an essential mineral for livestock, and it is important to make sure that your animals are getting the right amount of calcium in their diet. Eggshells are a great source of calcium that can be used to supplement livestock diets. Here is a step-by-step guide to making calcium supplements for your livestock from eggshells.
1. Collect the eggshells. After you have cooked and eaten the eggs, save the eggshells in a container. Make sure to wash the eggshells thoroughly with soap and water before you start to use them.
2. Grind the eggshells. Once the eggshells are clean, you will need to grind them into a powder. This can be done using a food processor, blender, or coffee grinder.
3. Bake the eggshell powder. Preheat your oven (or you can use a pot) to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the eggshell powder on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. This will help to kill any bacteria that may be present in the eggshells.
4. Store the calcium supplement. After the eggshell powder has been baked, let it cool and then store it in an airtight container. You can add the powder to your livestock’s feed or mix it with water to make a calcium-rich drink.
Making calcium supplements from eggshells is a simple and cost-effective way to make sure your livestock are getting the calcium they need. With just a few steps, you can easily provide your animals with a natural source of calcium.
