Avigrain Lupins 4kg – High-Protein Whole Lupin Seed for Birds

Avigrain Lupins 4kg: High-Protein Whole Lupin Seed for Birds

Avigrain Lupins are whole lupin seeds, a high-protein legume feed used to add protein to the diets of pigeons, poultry and larger seed-eating birds. Lupins are one of the higher-protein grain legumes, so they're a useful way to lift the protein in a ration, which matters most through breeding, moulting and growth when birds need more. This is a 4kg bag from Avigrain, a 100% Australian owned family business that's been making bird and animal feeds since 1987.

As a whole legume, lupins suit birds that can handle a larger, firmer grain, such as pigeons and poultry, and they're commonly used as one component mixed into a broader ration rather than fed alone. They carry protein and fibre along with the energy of a grain, which makes them a practical conditioning and breeding-season addition.

How to Feed

Lupins are typically used as part of a mixed ration rather than a complete feed, so add them to your birds' usual grain mix or feed in modest amounts to lift the protein content. They're especially useful through breeding, moulting and growth. Introduce them gradually if they're new to your birds, since a sudden change of feed can put birds off, and always provide clean, fresh water. As with any grain, store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and free of pests and moisture.
