Feeding Directions
To switch birds from seeds (or any diet they are currently being
fed) to Nutrazu® Small Bird Maintenance, do a gradual changeover,
starting with 90% seed (or current diet) and 10% Nutrazu® Small
Bird Maintenance. On each succeeding day, reduce the amount of seeds
by 10% while increasing the amount of Nutrazu® Small Bird Maintenance
by 10%. On the 10th day, the diet should consist only of Nutrazu®
Small Bird Maintenance. Monitor the bird’s weight and behavior
carefully during the conversion period. Be specially attentive during
the 10th to 12th day. If the bird is losing weight, or if the bird
is not consuming the product, offer the bird a mix of 50% seed and
50% Nutrazu® Small bird Maintenance and restart the conversion
process from this point. If the bird is not eating, the excreta
color will become dark green and the volume will decrease. If the
bird is consuming the Nutrazu® Small Bird Maintenance, the excreta
will be a brownish-green color.
This diet should be fed to prepare the birds for breeding and throughout
the breeding season. If the birds are seasonal breeders or they
are managed to be seasonal breeders, offer the Nutrazu®
Small Bird Breeder at the start of the breeding season.
If the birds are bred all year, feed this diet continuously. Wean
young birds on this diet and continue feeding until first molt.
After first molt, switch birds to Nutrazu® Small Bird Maintenance.
