Vetafarm Breeding Aid 250mL Fatty Acid & Vitamin Supplement for Breeding Birds

Vetafarm Breeding Aid 250mL: Oil-Based Fatty Acid and Vitamin Supplement for Breeding Birds

Vetafarm Breeding Aid is an oil-based breeding supplement for birds, designed to support egg production, fertility and hatchability. It supplies essential fatty acids and stabilised vitamins that a plain seed diet often lacks, which is exactly what breeding birds need most when they're conditioning and laying.

The formula is built around essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6 and 9, including linoleic, palmitic and oleic acids) plus vitamins A, D3 and E. The fatty acids support healthy egg membrane development, egg laying and chick growth; vitamin A supports cell development, vitamin D3 aids calcium absorption and eggshell formation, and vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps maintain cell membranes.

Because it's oil-based, Breeding Aid is soaked onto seed rather than added to water. Left to sit, the oils penetrate through the seed hull into the kernel, so the birds take up the nutrients as they eat their normal seed. It's especially useful for smaller birds that lay large or multiple clutches, such as budgies, finches and canaries.

Key Features & Benefits

• Oil-based breeding supplement to support egg production and hatchability

• Essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6, 9) for egg membranes, laying and chick growth

• Fortified with stabilised vitamins A, D3 and E

What's In It (per litre)

• Vitamin A 200,000 IU

• Vitamin E 410mg

• Linoleic acid 430g

• Palmitic acid 52g

• Oleic acid 11g

How to Use

• Mix 20mL of Breeding Aid per 1kg of seed and stir well for an even coat

• Let the treated seed sit for 12 to 24 hours so the oil soaks into the kernel

• Feed as part of the birds' normal diet leading into and during the breeding season

• Prepare only what will be eaten within a few days; refrigerate treated seed you're holding

• For fussy eaters, start with a smaller amount (around 5 to 10mL per kg) and build up

Getting the Best From It

• Begin before the breeding season to condition birds, then continue through laying

• Keep offering separate calcium (like a calcium supplement or cuttlefish) and a general vitamin/mineral supplement, since Breeding Aid focuses on fatty acids and A, D, E

• Store the bottle in a cool place and keep it sealed so the oils stay fresh

• Don't over-soak more seed than needed, as oiled seed can go off if left too long

Which birds is it best for?
All breeding birds on seed diets, and it's especially useful for smaller species that lay large or multiple clutches, such as budgies, finches and canaries.
