It combines calcium gluconate with vitamins A, D3 and E in a formula that mixes straight into drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirds 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiquid Calcium with Vitamin D3 for Breeding Pigeons \u0026amp; Laying Hens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePigeon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy-to-Use Water-Soluble Calcium – 1L Bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 15mL to each litre of drinking 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use D-3 Liquid Calcium for chickens and laying hens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this liquid calcium suitable for pigeons during breeding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Increase use to three times per week during the breeding season, when calcium demand rises for egg production and the development of young birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does a bird calcium supplement need vitamin D3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirds 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use D-3 Liquid Calcium alongside shell grit or layer pellets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bonnyrigg Produce \u0026 Garden Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50929558585409,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/3394\/1313\/files\/MineralEnergy_D3_Liquid_Calcium_1L.webp?v=1793949631","url":"https:\/\/bpgsupplies.com.au\/products\/mineral-energy-d3-liquid-calcium-1l","provider":"Bonnyrigg Produce \u0026 Garden Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
