CONT

Grit is available in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Soluble grit, such a cuttlebone and crushed oyster shells, dissolves as it passes through the digestive tract and serves as a source of calcium in the avian diet ... Insoluble grit, generally found as sand or small pebbles, remains in the gizzard after ingestion and helps with the mechanical breakdown of food ... Some species of birds, particularly herbivorous or granivorous species such as galliformes, require insoluble grit in their diet for efficient digestion ...
