BVM Probiotic Bird Vitamin Mineral 10kg

Similar to Humans, the key to good health for Birds is a nutritious, healthy diet. Wild Birds eat up to 20 different foods in a day. The Natural environment gives them all the Vitamins and Minerals they need. In a coop or Aviary environment, it is impossible to replicate the diet of Wild Birds. BVM Probiotic Supplement 10kg is the best way to give your Birds, Chickens and other Poultry the boost that is lacking in common feed blends. See below to find out the signs of low nutrition in Birds.

How to use the Bird Vitamin Mineral Probiotic Supplement

BVM + Probiotic pink powder is designed for free-access administration to pigeons, poultry, and other caged birds.

Similar to shell grit, BVM Pink Powder is ideal for use in a clean, dry container that discourages contamination and scratching/raking. As part of a nutritionally balanced diet, it can be kept full at all times. Birds will regulate their own intake to ensure they are getting the optimum level of nutrients, and breeding birds will even feed the powder to their hatchlings.

You can also mix BVM with wet feed, including soft foods and seeds with seed oil or another wetting agent. We do not recommend it for use with dry seeds or pellet mixes.

As real-life conditions vary, monitor your birds carefully when first using BVM Pink Powder. For some birds, free access may not be the best option and a more controlled administration through feed will be necessary. The use of BVM with other dietary supplements and some fortified or complete feeds (pellets, mash or seed mixes with vitamins and minerals added) is not recommended, as too much of a nutrient can be as damaging as too little. Bird health and behaviour is your best indication of whether BVM is working for you.

Use according to instructions. This product is not intended for human consumption.

Why your birds require vitamin supplements

Laying hens

Laying hens have been bred to produce eggs at a rate much higher than is natural for birds. Producing eggs requires a lot of energy and a wide range of vitamins and minerals, making nutrition particularly important. If layers have a poor diet, it can lead to the depletion of natural stores of vitamins and minerals in their bodies, causing illness and death.

Racing pigeons

After stress or intensive exercise, our bodies require additional vitamins and minerals in order to replace those lost in sweat, and to build/rebuild muscle proteins and red blood stores. This same process occurs when pigeons race, making access to essential vitamins and minerals, both before and after racing, important for health and recovery.

Breeding birds

Good nutrition is vital for breeding birds. Not only does it lead to healthier eggs and a better hatch rate, it is also key to producing healthy, robust hatchlings.

Birds experiencing stress

Stresses such as illness, medication (such as routine deworming), transport and extreme weather, can also affect bird health. A balanced diet will boost the immune system, aiding recovery and preventing infection or reinfection.
