Vetafarm D’nutrical Pdr 150g

Vetafarm D’nutrical Pdr 150g is a powdered calcium supplement for birds that also provides vitamins and minerals. It combines three sources of calcium and is aimed mainly at breeding birds and growing chicks, where it supports strong eggshells and sound bone development. It also helps birds on seed diets, which tend to be short of several key nutrients, so it can be used for pet and aviary birds all year. The fine powder dusts easily onto food and can be stirred into homemade hand-rearing formula to make it more complete.

Dosing and storage

Vetafarm advises introducing the powder gradually: start at 5g per kg of food and build up to 20g per kg over six feeds. After that, use 20g per kg of food twice a week for maintenance, or every day through the breeding season. A light dusting over moist foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables helps it stick. Keep the tub closed in a dry place below 30°C and out of direct sunlight; the shelf life is three years from manufacture. For birds that are unwell, follow the pack directions or your vet’s advice.

Good to know

Fresh fruit and vegetables hold the powder well, so dust them lightly before adding them to the bowl, and remove uneaten fresh food at the end of the day.
