Breeding Aid – Essential Support for Healthy Breeding

Healthy membranes in fertilized eggs are crucial for the proper development of a chick. During breeding, birds require access to essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals to support egg laying, chick growth, and overall reproductive health.

Breeding Aid provides all these essential nutrients, making it a must for breeding birds, especially those on a seed diet. It is particularly useful for smaller birds that produce large numbers of eggs or multiple clutches.

Key Benefits of Breeding Aid:

• Essential Fatty Acids: Promote healthy membrane development, egg laying, chick growth, and overall immunity.
• Vitamin A: Supports cell development.
• Vitamin D3: Enhances calcium absorption, bone growth, and egg formation.
• Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant that helps maintain healthy cell membranes.
• Linoleic Acid: Provides the necessary essential fatty acids for reproduction.

How to Use Breeding Aid:

• Mixing Instructions:

  • Mix 20mL of Breeding Aid per 1kg (or 1 ½ fl oz. per 5lb) of seed thoroughly by hand.
  • Allow the mixture to sit for 12 to 24 hours to maximize seed absorption.

• Storage:

  • Batches of treated seed can be made up to last a week.
  • Any unused treated seed should be stored in the refrigerator.

Storage:

• Store below 30°C (room temperature) in a dry place.
• Expiry: 3 years from the date of manufacture.

Nutritional Composition:

• Per Litre:
  • Vitamin A: 200,000 IU
  • Vitamin D3: 20,000 IU
  • Vitamin E: 80 IU
  • Linoleic Acid: 430 g
  • Palmitic Acid: 52 g
  • Oleic Acid: 11 g

Ideal for Seed Diets:

Breeding Aid is an ideal supplement for birds that primarily consume a seed-based diet. It ensures birds receive the crucial nutrients they need to lay healthy eggs, produce fertile embryos, and rear strong chicks. This is particularly important as additional vitamin, mineral, and calcium supplements are still advised for birds on seed diets.
