Crab Meal is made up of crushed and dried crab shells, made into a fine powder. It has dual agricultural purposes. It is used as a free choice feed supplement for laying hens and can also be used for long term release of calcium into the soil. The shells are crushed to a size appropriate for poultry consumption and spread easily in the garden where they slowly break down over the years to release their trace minerals.
