Vetafarm Nutriblend Breeder Small Pellets for Breeding Parrots 10kg

Vetafarm Nutriblend Breeder Small Pellets: Vet-Formulated Breeding Diet for Parrots

Vetafarm Nutriblend Breeder Small Pellets are a complete, vet-formulated diet made specifically for the breeding season. It is the high-performance version of regular Nutriblend, built to meet the extra demands placed on hens and cocks through egg production and chick raising. Formulated by avian veterinarians and nutritionists with fresh Australian ingredients and extrusion cooked for palatability, safety and digestibility.

Breeding is a nutritionally demanding time. Birds need more protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to stimulate breeding, lay fertile eggs and rear strong chicks, and good nutrition also helps reduce the risk of problems like egg binding. Nutriblend Breeder delivers extra protein and amino acids along with the full range of vitamins and minerals needed to support reproduction, so parent birds stay in condition and chicks get the best start.

Like all Nutriblend diets, the fruit-flavoured, multi-coloured pellets are readily accepted by seed-eating birds and stop selective feeding, so every pellet delivers the same balanced nutrition. The "Small" pellet size suits small to medium parrots such as cockatiels, ringnecks and similar birds. This 10kg bag is the bulk size, ideal for breeders and anyone feeding a number of birds through the season.

Feeding Guide

Nutriblend Breeder should make up about 80% of your birds' daily diet, with the remaining 20% from healthy fruit and vegetables (around 15%) and a small amount of treats such as nuts and seeds (around 5%). Start feeding it approximately six weeks before the breeding season and continue through until the chicks fledge. Chicks raised by parents on Breeder pellets can be weaned directly onto regular Nutriblend pellets. As a guide, feed a minimum of about 10% of the bird's body weight in pellets per day, so a 100g ringneck would need around 10g daily. Always provide fresh, clean water, and check with your avian vet for birds with special needs.
