ʻAʻole lawa ka nānā ʻana i ka hānai ʻana i ka moa, akā he mea nui ia. ʻElua grams o kēia hānai hou e pono ai no ka moa a me ka lā.
ʻAʻohe niho o ka moa e ʻoki i ka mauʻu i ʻoki ʻia i ka holo. Aia i loko o ka ʻūhā wale nō ka ʻai ʻana i wāwahi ʻia e nā pōhaku liʻiliʻi. Lawe ka quartz grit i kēia hana. Hāʻawi ka limestone shell i ka calcium, pono ia no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka ʻili hua. Hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia ka limestone pūpū i ka hānai moa hoʻomoe. Hiki ke lawelawe i ka quartz grit a me ka limestone shell i loko o kahi mea hānai ʻokoʻa. Ma laila, hoʻokō koke nā moa i ko lākou pono ponoʻī.
No ka ulu ʻana, makemake ka moa i ka nui o ka calcium, ʻike ʻia hoʻi he lime. ʻO kēia ka mineral nui loa i ka mahiʻai moa. Kūkulu ia i nā iwi. I ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka hana ʻana o ka hua manu, pono ka moa ma kahi o ʻelua kalama calcium no kēlā me kēia hua i waiho ʻia. I nā lā hoʻomoe, lawe ʻo ia i hoʻokahi gram mai ka hānai ʻana a ʻo ka lua o ka gram pono e lawe ʻo ia mai kona mau iwi.
Ma ka puke e pili ana i ka meaʻai moa a me ka hānai ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Carl Engelmann e ʻoi aku ka lahilahi o ka ʻili hua me ka hānai lime liʻiliʻi. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka ʻike ʻana ua pau ka moa i ka hoʻomoe ʻana ma hope o ʻumikumamālua mau lā inā nele loa lākou i ka lime. A hiki i kēia manawa, ma kahi o 10 ka nui o ka calcium i lawe ʻia mai ke kino no ka hana hua manu. He kiʻekiʻe nā koi lime i ka wā hoʻomoe a no laila hiki ke emi ka maikaʻi o ka pūpū a hiki i ka hopena o ka makahiki hoʻomoe no ka lawa ʻole o ka lime. I ka hihia o nā ʻili hua manu ʻeleʻele, ʻo ke kumu ke kuhi hewa ʻana a i ʻole ka maʻi metabolic i ka moa.
Hiki i nā moa ke loaʻa ka calcium mai ka ʻoy, ka ʻiʻo mussel, a i ʻole ka lime grit. ʻO nā ʻano ʻekolu a pau he ʻeleʻele a hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe mālie. Hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia ka granulation i ka makahiki o nā holoholona. No nā pullets, pono ia he hoʻokahi a ʻelua millimeters a no ka hoʻomoe ʻana i nā moa e hiki ke hele mai ʻelua a ʻehā millimeters.
ʻO nā mea a pau i luna e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o ka pūpū hua e hōʻike ana i ka pono o ka hānai manuahi ʻana i ka limestone shell a me ka quartz grit. Hōʻike ʻia kēia ma ke alakaʻi i ka mahiʻai moa hoʻohālike mai Kleintiere Schweiz.
