Good health is essential to breeding and showing good birds.

It has become common place in many bird rooms to rely on supplements to health keep our birds health, and in good form.

 

But what do you use?

 

Here is what you will find in my aviary......

 

AVIAN INSECT LIQUIDATOR (A.I.L)

 

The keep pets at bay.

 

AVICLENS

 

To keep the water clean from bacteria

 

BREEDING AID

 

To help the pairs and the chicks.

 

CALCIVET

 

To help egg production and good bones, beak and claws.

 

COCCIVET

 

For the treatment and prevention of Coccidiosis

 

FINCH CRUMBLES

 

For protien

 

MOULTING AID

 

For good Feather growth.

 

PROBOTIC

 

for over all good health.

 

SOLUVET

 

Vitamins

 

SPARK ELECTROVET

These are the basic supplements I use. But there are others in the way of Mineralized grit, Charcoal, Apple cider vinegar, Pentivite, Aloe Vera.

Thanks for posting that Daz. Saves me asking you again.

Thats where I got the idea from.. I take it for granted what I do these days. I have goten into a routine and the birds like it.

Thanks Daz, I have a wholesale account with Vetafarm so I'll be contacting them about stocking these myself, as there were a few you listed that I hadn't known their uses until now... I also use SCATT by Vetafarm for mite treatments especially in all rescues or outcross birds comming into the aviary. And the CalciVet as well, of course.

I use all those products too.

 

I love veta farm productsI also use Tracemin

 

 

Soluable Trace Minerals and Amino Acids

I use most of what you use Daz, I also have Poly-Aid which I bought after advice from a Parrot breeder when one of my Rosella's got sick - it fixed him right up!

Whooo argh now I feel like my birds are seriously under vitimized (sp?? not even sure that's a word but will roll with it)

 

Thanks for this, can you tell me do they just get them all or is there a plan, eg on Mondays their water gets this..... even if you add them to water. My guys pretty much get mixed veg and fruit, seeds and wormer in their water every two months.

 

I worry about my guys getting enough, i know that Blue gets really bad blood feathers during molt and gets vit A shots to help with feather production maybe a suppliment all year round would help?

 

I think I am going to have to check out vetfarm

 

thanks for this

Becareful, like most things you can overdo it. I have posted a management plan that I follow. It's from two leading breeders in Australia. Plunkett & Tasi

Thanks I get that, I figure my guys are pretty much fine but I would love to avoid a trip to the vets every time Blue goes through molt and thought the Molting agent might help. Will have a chat to my vet about it.

I will have to start using some more of this stuff.

Just don't over do it.
