Mineral Energy Vitamin B12 for Pigeons & Birds 200g – Water-Soluble Supplement

Mineral Energy Vitamin B12 for Pigeons & Birds 200g: Water-Soluble Support Supplement

Mineral Energy Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin supplement for pigeons and aviary birds, based on cobalamin (cyanocobalamin). Vitamin B12 plays an important role in a bird's health: it helps in the formation of red blood cells, supports a healthy appetite and normal growth, and helps maintain a healthy nervous system. This 200g pack dissolves readily for adding to feed or drinking water, and it's made by Mineral Energy, an Australian supplier of pigeon and bird supplements.

B12 is one of the nutrients that can fall short in captive birds, and a shortfall shows up in ways that matter to keepers and breeders. A vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to anaemia, embryo death, poor hatchability and defective feathering, so a B12 supplement is often used to support condition, breeding performance and healthy young.

What Vitamin B12 Does for Birds

• Aids the formation of red blood cells
• Supports a healthy appetite and normal growth
• Helps maintain a healthy nervous system
• Supports breeding performance and healthy chick development

Signs of B12 Shortfall

A deficiency in vitamin B12 may show up as:

• Anaemia
• Embryo death and poor hatchability
• Defective feathering

Because these affect breeding results and condition, B12 is a common supplement in breeding and racing lofts.

How to Use

Being water-soluble, Mineral Energy Vitamin B12 can be added to the drinking water or mixed into feed, following the dosage on the pack for your birds. When dosing through water, make up fresh treated water regularly and offer it as the only water source while treating so the birds take it up, and keep drinkers clean. Provide clean fresh water as normal between treatments, and store the supplement sealed in a cool, dry place. Follow the pack directions for how much and how often to use.
