Passwell Liquid Gold 5L Calcium & Vitamin D3 Supplement for Breeding Birds

Passwell Liquid Gold 5L: Calcium and Vitamin D3 Supplement for Breeding Birds

Passwell Liquid Gold is a readily absorbable liquid calcium and vitamin D3 supplement for birds, made to support healthy egg formation and chick growth. It's added to drinking water, soaked seed or soft food, and can also be given orally to deficient birds, so it's flexible to use across a flock or for one bird that needs a boost. This large 5L bottle is a long-term supply for breeders and larger aviaries.

Calcium is "like gold" for breeding birds and raising healthy chicks, being essential for proper eggshell formation and for bone growth in developing young. Most seed mixes don't provide the calcium birds need, and deficiency is common in all-seed diets and in egg-laying hens, where it can lead to weak shells and egg binding. Liquid Gold pairs calcium with vitamin D3, which is needed for the bird to absorb calcium from the gut, plus magnesium and manganese (important for eggshell and bone formation and best kept balanced with calcium) and lutein, a natural antioxidant that gives egg yolk its rich yellow colour.

Important Notes

• Calcium and vitamin D3 can be harmful to birds at high doses, so do not add Liquid Gold to foods that are already fortified with calcium and vitamin D3 (such as complete pellets or fortified soft foods)

• Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets

• Follow the dosage directions and check with an avian vet if you're unsure of your bird's needs

Getting the Best From It

• Focus use around breeding and laying, when hens draw heavily on calcium for eggshells

• If your birds are already on a fortified complete diet, take care not to double up on calcium and vitamin D3

• Provide fresh treated water or food each day so it stays clean and appealing

• Pair good calcium nutrition with a balanced diet and, for seed-fed birds, a general vitamin and mineral supplement
