All Bird Exotic-is a high quality product which contains Vitamins, Chelated Minerals, Electrolytes, digestive enzymes, with an array of Probiotic's (micro-encapsulated live beneficial bacteria). This product was specifically designed for Exotic Birds, Parrots, Finches, Canaries, Insectivores, and other cage birds. This product contains Malto Dextrin as a high digestible carbohydrate source for fast energy availability. All our minerals are chelated, which is a process that allows the minerals to be more easily absorbed with a higher rate of digestibility. Our vitamins are at a lower dosage, in some cases to prevent intoxication in some species, and a higher dosage on those vitamins that are proven safe and that will enhance breeding and health. This product is safe to be used by all species of birds. Included are amino acids which are the building blocks of protein, which gives us a complete nutritional plane. Our Probiotic's, 5 species 25 billion cfu/kg, have been selected to: Boost the immune system, & produce digestive enzymes. Vitamins for complete spectrum, Electrolytes to prevent dehydration and combat stress. Water soluble, can be used in water or food. Enzymes specifically picked for the targeted species. Our enzymes specifically target certain nutritional components such as protein, mixed carbohydrates, soy, wheat, corn, and oats, conponents of caged birds every day diet. Our well balanced nutritional supplement can be mixed with egg food, seeds, pellets, fruits, vegetables, mashed, powdered foods, or simply with water. This product is to be used for BREEDING, PERFORMANCE, MAINTENANCE, STRESS. Included in this product is PRO-VITALS(R) Bio-Tag, as an immune booster, and Odor-Gone, an all natural product approved for fecal odor control. This is our best selling product. Dose:Dissolve 1/2 to 1 tsp of PRO-VITAL in 16 oz or 1 to 3 oz per gal. of water. Egg food, Pellets or Seeds: 1 to 4 Tbsp per lb of feed, or 4 oz to 1 lb of PRO-VITAL(R) per 50 lbs of food. Fruits & Vegetables: Sprinkle freely Live food:Sprinkle or dust freely. Use daily, use non chlorinated water. Role of Probiotics in Animal Nutrition. Probiotics are live cultures of microorganisms including species of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, yeasts etc, that beneficially affect the host upon ingestion by improving the balance of the intestinal microflora. The gastrointestinal tract is a complex ecosystem in which a delicate balance exists between the intestinal microflora and the host. The microflora is principally comprised of Facultative anaerobes (Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and Bacillus) and obligate anaerobes (Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, Eubacterium, Fusobacterium, Bacteroides). The intestinal microflora primarily acts as a barrier of intestinal mucosa thereby preventing the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms and entry of allergens. They are also known to produce certain antibiotic like substances which help control the pathogenic microorganisms. Intestinal microflora also helps maturation of the immune system, development of normal intestinal morphology and in immunologically balanced inflammatory response. Some of the microflora are also known to contribute to the body requirements of certain vitamins, biotin, pantothenic acid and Vitamin B12. The balance of microbial flora may get disturbed due to use of antibiotics or chemotherapeutics, ageing, disease, stress, etc. Probiotics are popular on a commercial scale in animal feeds as alone and along with yeasts, and fungal cultures producing fiber degrading enzymes. Their use in pelleted feed has been limited because most of the strains of probiotic bacterial cultures were destroyed at pelleting temperatures. Research has shown that probiotic cultures performed significantly better in improving livestock performance when they were supplemented with specific nutrients. Also, no adverse or toxic reactions have so far been reported with the use of probiotics in animal feed.
