Formula Plus
(30g, 90g, 300g.)

Formula Plus is designed to be added to other companies' proprietary, "complete" products.  Formula Plus does not duplicate key nutrients such as vitamin A and D3. Although minimal, there is a risk of overdosing these vitamins so they are NOT included in Formula Plus. If you wish to have advice on using Formula Plus in "home made" rearing foods please contact The Birdcare Company.

Formula Plus contains the following unique ingredients that are very unlikely to be included in your existing product:

Flourish herbal extracts: immune support, anti-coccidial, prebiotic (supporting beneficial bacteria)
White cell support system: for rapid deployment of the body's attack cells against invading germs
Live yeast probiotics : removal of pathogens from the gut and immune support
Insoluble fibre: maximising digestive function and prebiotic
Maxima bio-available sulphur : for disease control and rapid feather growth
Omega 3 fatty acids and organic acids: for better development of the rapidly growing chick
Rapisorb bio-available minerals : for maximum uptake of vital trace nutrients

It also contains extra quantities of nutrients that are included in some, but not all, proprietary formulas

Limiting amino acids: for stress free production of new feathers; works in conjunction with Maxima
BioPlus probiotic/prebiotic blend: for excellent gut health and performance
Essentials multi-vitamins (except A & D): for energy and vitality
CalciBoost bio-available calcium: for strong bone, nerve and muscle development
ProBoost protein : incorporated to maintain the balance of the formula

Formula Plus was extensively trialled by parrot breeders in the USA. Here are the comments that came back from a few of them:

"This is the first time I have not had a serious problem with slow crop in at least one or two tiels." Coleen R Biezenbos

"I used it on conures and their gram weight was higher, growth faster and they did feather more quickly than those that I did not use it on." Mona Tuomi

"The weight loss at weaning was better, and the birds did wean early and were healthy.  To me the most noticeable thing was the fact that there was little to no weight loss at weaning." Margie Adams

"In the Parrotlets and the Conures I found a quicker weaning time. Meaning that they had good weight when they were ready to wean and they weaned to the regular food stuffs easily. Especially with the Parrotlets. I would be a regular user of this product." June DiCiocco
