Without adequate grit, digestion is impaired and nutrient absorption suffers. Offering a mixed grit supplement ensures both fine and coarse particle sizes are available for optimal mechanical digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between fine and coarse stomach grit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFine grit (maagkiezel fijn) is used for grinding softer grains and seeds; coarse grit (maagkiezel grof) handles harder grains such as maize. Providing both ensures the gizzard can process the full range of ingredients in a pigeon's diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is charcoal included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharcoal has a natural adsorptive capacity, helping to bind and remove toxins and waste products from the digestive tract. It also acts as a natural digestive buffer and is traditionally included in quality grit mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store this product?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Keep the lid sealed when not in use. Do not allow grit to become wet in the loft as it may spoil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Patagoon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55641705218424,"sku":"C-3000000013380","price":19.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/6558\/2781\/files\/mg.webp?v=1787761388"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/6558\/2781\/collections\/mg.webp?v=1794470505","url":"https:\/\/www.littlepeckers.co.uk\/collections\/de-patagoon.oembed","provider":"Little Peckers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
