Product information

Vitaminsupplement for breeding ornamental birds and birds of prey.

NEKTON-Breed-Star is a feed supplement for birds that is specially developed to support breeding. 

It contains all essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals and trace elements. In addition, NEKTON-Breed-Star has a high content of vitamin E and essential amino acids in a special ratio and is ideal for preparation of and during breeding.

NEKTON-Breed-Star supplements the minimum content of vitamin E in feed and covers the animals‘ needs with these nutrients that are so important for the body.

The bird‘s amino acid requirements increase during breeding. NEKTON-Breed-Star contains 18 amino acids and a particularly high proportion of arginine, lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan, which are very important for the bird during breeding.

The vitamin content of NEKTON-Breed-Star is tailored to the special needs of the birds during breeding.

NEKTON-Breed-Star can prevent damage to the animals‘ health that can result from a lack of these vital substances. These support the course of the metabolic processes in the bird organism and increase the utilization of all the nutrients taken in with the feed. This strengthens the bird‘s defenses and improves performance.

Vitamin E has several functions in animals, but its key function is to protect the cells from oxidative damage - it promotes the protection of cell membranes and the detoxification of pollutants occurring in cell metabolism.

It is also involved in cell respiration and thus plays a very important role in energy metabolism. It has also been shown that vitamin E supplementation improves animal fertility (especially sperm quality in males and egg fertility in females) and increases embryo survival and viability of hatched young.

In addition, vitamin E promotes antibody formation and has a positive effect on the immune status of the organism. Vitamin E deficiency can cause reduced fertility, sex drive and hatching.

Finally, a lack of vitamin E particularly impairs muscle (white muscle disease) and heart functions.

It is ideal in combination with NEKTON-Calcium-Plus for balanced breeding and to prevent calcium deficiency (egg breakage / egg quality).

Feeding recommendation

1 g (= 1 level measuring spoon) NEKTON-Breed-Star to 250 ml water or 100 g soft food.

Administration of NEKTON-Breed-Star should be started at least three weeks before breeding.

As soon as the first egg is laid and the female sits on the eggs, no more NEKTON-Breed-Star is given. It could cause disruption in the incubation process by a drive in the male that is too strong.

After completion of the treatment continue with the daily vitamin supply of NEKTON-S and NEKTON-MSA.
