Vetsense BirdCare Breeding Aid Liquid Supplement for Birds 125ml

Vetsense BirdCare Breeding Aid: Fatty Acid & Vitamin Supplement for Breeding Birds

Vetsense BirdCare Breeding Aid is an oil-based liquid supplement designed to support fertility, egg production and breeding success in birds. It is added to seed and provides a blend of essential fatty acids together with fat-soluble vitamins A, D3 and E, targeting the extra nutritional demands that come with breeding.

Breeding is a demanding time for birds, and diets based on seed can fall short of what hens and cocks need to breed well. The fatty acids in Breeding Aid, including linoleic, palmitic and oleic acids, support egg membrane development and embryo growth, while the added vitamins support reproductive health, calcium absorption for stronger eggshells, and antioxidant protection during the breeding period. It is particularly useful for smaller birds that lay large numbers of eggs or multiple clutches.

Because it is oil-based, it works as an overnight soak on seed. The oils naturally penetrate through the seed hull into the kernel, so your birds take in the supplement as they eat their normal diet, with no need to medicate the water. It is an easy way to prepare breeding-ready seed for a wide range of birds, from parrots and finches to canaries and pigeons.

How to Use

Mix Vetsense Breeding Aid through seed at a rate of 20mL per 1kg of seed, or 10mL per 500g for smaller batches. Stir thoroughly by hand so the oil coats the seed evenly, then leave the treated seed for 12 to 24 hours before feeding, as it takes time for the oil to penetrate through to the kernel. With fussy eaters, start with a smaller amount (around 5 to 10mL per kg) to get birds used to the supplemented seed. Prepare only what will be eaten within a few days and store treated seed in a cool place. Begin supplementing leading into and during the breeding season. Always read and follow the label.
