NEKTON-S contains all the essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and trace elements. A vitamin deficiency (known as hypovitaminosis) is difficult to detect in birds, but if it persists, it can lead to serious illnesses that may result in the premature death of the animal. Approximately 90% of all bird diseases are caused by inadequate nutrition.
The administration of electrolytes in racing pigeons has its origins in the practice of sport in humans. It is not always so easy to transpose human products to the animal world.
When playing sports, humans sweat and eliminate salts and electrolytes through their sweat glands. This is why athletes must compensate for this loss for rapid regeneration with the help of electrolyte input. In doing so, the balance is quickly restored.
Oropharma Calci-Lux is a high-quality water-soluble calcium source. This dietary supplement is administered for proper eggshell formation, good skeletal development in young birds, during breeding to prevent difficult laying, and in cases of calcium deficiency or calcium tetany. Calcium is an essential element for the bodies of birds. It is, among other things, necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Calcium deficiencies regularly lead to serious health problems in birds. If the bird does not receive sufficient calcium, its skeleton becomes demineralised, and the bones become deformed.
Oropharma Oro-Digest is an intestinal conditioner. This product prevents the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine, improves the consistency of droppings, promotes hygiene in nests, and prevents the small feathers of the cloaca from sticking together. In the digestive tract of birds, there are bacteria essential for good digestion. These good bacteria predominate in healthy birds. If pathogenic bacteria predominate, the bird will have liquid droppings leading to significant loss of water and electrolytes. The administration of antibiotics will eliminate both the good and the bad bacteria.
Calcium D3 contains a highly absorbable source of calcium with the vitamin D3 needed to ensure absorption.
Calcium does not only play a role in bone development and eggshell formation. It also performs an important function in the conduction of nerve impulses and in blood clotting.
Calcium deficiency is common in birds because seeds and grains are very low in this mineral. Young birds then develop growth abnormalities and possibly bone deformities.
In adult birds, deficiency is manifested rather by laying difficulties, eggshell abnormalities and brittle bones.
