Hearts and Gizzards - Any Calcium In These?

[carcharios]

I normally get chicken necks but our GIANT supermarket hasn't gotten any in yet. I went to Food Lion and bought four cartons of Hearts and Gizzards. I was just curious if these contain any calcium. I know the hearts probably do not but I was curious about the gizzards since they have some cartilage striations. Any info would be appreciated.

No, there is little to no calcium in either. Both are muscle meats. You'd have to supplement the calcium.

Actually there is Calcium in Flesh,.. just not enough to be beneficial on its own so we add supplements when feeding. The body as a whole needs calcium in animals as well as humans. Which is why things like MBD and Calcium Deficiencies affect development on all levels.

There is calcium, yes but to think of it as a source is basically little to none. 1 gizzard has 3.1mg of calcium (0% when compared to other minerals).
