Mineral Energy D-3 Liquid Calcium 1L – Calcium & Vitamin D3 Supplement for Birds

Mineral Energy D-3 Liquid Calcium 1L – Calcium & Vitamin Supplement for Birds

Mineral Energy D-3 Liquid Calcium is a liquid calcium supplement for pigeons, poultry and aviary birds from Australian brand Mineral Energy. It combines calcium gluconate with vitamins A, D3 and E in a formula that mixes straight into drinking water.

Birds on seed or pellet diets can fall short on calcium, particularly during the breeding season. This bird calcium supplement gives keepers a simple way to top up calcium and key vitamins as part of a regular feeding program.

Liquid Calcium with Vitamin D3 for Breeding Pigeons & Laying Hens

Calcium plays a central role in eggshell formation and in the bone development of growing chicks. Vitamin D3 helps birds absorb calcium from the gut, which is especially relevant for birds kept indoors or in aviaries with limited direct sunlight.

Pigeon breeders use it as a calcium supplement through the breeding season, while backyard poultry keepers use it to support eggshell quality in laying hens. Vitamin A, which is often lacking in seed-based diets, and vitamin E complete the formula.

Easy-to-Use Water-Soluble Calcium – 1L Bottle

Add 15mL to each litre of drinking water. At this rate, one 1L bottle makes approximately 66 litres of treated water, a practical size for pigeon lofts, backyard flocks and larger aviaries.

Use once a week for general maintenance and increase to three times a week during breeding. Prepare the solution fresh each day and avoid exceeding the recommended rate.

FAQs

How much Mineral Energy D-3 Liquid Calcium do I add to drinking water?

Add 15mL per litre of drinking water. Mix a fresh solution each day and use it once a week for maintenance or three times a week during breeding.

How long will a 1L bottle of D-3 Liquid Calcium last?

One 1L bottle makes approximately 66 litres of treated water. For example, if your birds drink 4 litres on each dosing day, the bottle provides around 16 doses, or about four months of weekly maintenance use. This is a calculation example; actual usage depends on your flock size and water intake.

Can I use D-3 Liquid Calcium for chickens and laying hens?

Yes. It can be given through drinking water to chickens and other poultry, as well as pigeons and caged birds. Calcium supports eggshell formation, making it a useful supplement for laying hens.

Is this liquid calcium suitable for pigeons during breeding?

Yes. Increase use to three times per week during the breeding season, when calcium demand rises for egg production and the development of young birds.

Why does a bird calcium supplement need vitamin D3?

Birds need vitamin D3 to absorb calcium from the gut. Birds with limited access to direct sunlight may not produce enough of their own, so calcium from grit, shell or cuttlebone may not be well absorbed without it.

Can I use D-3 Liquid Calcium alongside shell grit or layer pellets?

It can be used as part of a broader diet, but layer feeds and shell grit already contain calcium. Take these into account and don't exceed the recommended dose, as too much calcium can be harmful.
