In many Organic poultry operations, the hen can undergo stress from laying, transfer during growing, or disease challenges etc.
Stress within a flock can cause normal feather picking / preening between birds to escalate quickly causing harm and becoming a welfare issue. For that reason, it is necessary to provide a solution to calm the animals down quickly to maintain a state of calm and peace for hens to perform their natural activities.
Gallicalm B uses natural botanical ingredients to stimulate the GABA neurotransmitters in the brain. GABA (Gamma amino butyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and counteracts the excitatory neurotransmitters which are generated in times of stress. Scientific research and field trials connect flavourings such as Passionflower extract and other botanicals to aid the GABA response.
