Avariety of nutritional
treats and dailysupplements should be an important part of your birds diet
weather it is a pet, breeder or hand-feeding baby. Vitamins are especially
significant during stress periods---breeding, molting, traveling, and times of
growth, especially pre and post weaning in nestlings. According to veterinary
tests 90 % of all birds illness stem from inadequate nutrition. Not surprising
since most commercial bird diets do not provide the 50 different vitamins and
nutrients proven necessary to prevent serious illness and death. Remember too
many or too much vitamins can be worse then not enough! Follow directions and be
careful when using more then one vitamin at one time.

Nekton-Q
by NEKTON
A multi-vitamin
supplement with a high percentage of vitamin K, A and E.
Designed for birds on
medication or birds under excessive stress. Especially beneficial to babies
in trouble. When added to formula or water this specialty vitamin can help
babies or any bird in trouble to recover. Developed for use during
quarantine. The high percentage of vitamin K helps prevent any negative
changes in a birds blood count while receiving antibiotics.Antibiotics or sulphonamides often hinder the vitamin synthesis by
the intestinal bacteria, leading to a hypo or avitaminosis. The extra
menadione helps combat the negative effect antibiotics have on the blood
count and level and blood coagulation.
Nekton-Q powder is
soluble in cold water and can simply be added to drinking water.
Also recommended for fig parrots
who need more than average Vitamin K.. cp

NEKTON-B-KOMPLEX
Invaluable vitamin B supplement for all birds
The members of the
vitamin B group seem to act primarily as parts of the enzyme systems. They
participate in a number of types of chemical reactions, most of which effect
the transfer of energy. Hence they play a key role in the metabolism of
proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In addition they are involved in the
regular functioning of the gastrointestinal system, nerve functions and the
myocardial tissues. Some of the B vitamins aid the formation of red blood
cells and antibodies and most are necessary for a healthy skin.
Except for the ruminant
species, all animals require a dietary source of the B vitamins as the
intestinal synthesis is insufficient, sometimes by as much as 80%. A lack of
these vitamins leads to a number of deficiency diseases, which are
unfortunately not always recognized as such.
NEKTON B-KOMPLEX protects
against a vitamin B deficiency, helps against neurological disorders and
aids the metabolism during illness and breeding.

Nekton-E Breeding
Formulation
Vitamin E supplement for pets as aid to good health and increased fertility
Vitamin E plays a
vital role in maintaining bodily functions and in the fertility of most
animal species. It promotes a bird's entire metabolism - protein,
carbohydrate, fatty, mineral and water metabolic processes. Vitamin E occurs
in multiple forms - tocopherols. The tocopherols act as antioxidants,
protect other vitamins and are essential to cellular respiration,
particularly in the heart and skeletal muscle tissues. Of all the vitamin E
forms in the plant kingdom alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active,
an important factor in animal nutrition.
NEKTON-E containing
the vital vitamin E as alpha tocopherol acetate
Protects against
defects in bone structure. Helps produce better laying results. Guards
against degeneration of heart and skeletal muscles. Protects against kidney
and liver trouble.

NEKTON-MSA
High-grade mineral supplement for pets
A special calcium
supplement plus other macro and vital trace elements boosted by vitamin D3
to help rear young animals and treat calcium deficiencies.
Mineral elements are
extremely important for maintaining good health, top stamina and
uninterrupted reproduction.
The most important
factor, whether in respect to diets or food supplements, is not only the
number of individual substances but, above all, their well-balanced and
well-matched composition. The mineral elements frequently operate in
balanced pairs or in small groups. For example, it is a comparatively
well-known fact that the nutritional role of calcium (Ca) is closely related
to that of phosphorus (P) and in correlation to one another can prevent
rickets and osteomalacia. Because of this, a large proportion of vitamin D3
has been added to NEKTON-MSA to help attune the Ca-P ratio to the
requirements of each individual organism. By means of vitamin D3, calcium
and phosphorus are better deposited in the animal's bones, thus achieving
full benefit of the mineral supply.
NEKTON-MSA is
primarily for animals during breeding, gestation and lactation. At these
times an animal needs more minerals. An increased dose of calcium, for
example, reduces the fragility of cage-birds' eggs. In fact an animal
suffering from calcium deficiency diseases can be helped back to good health
through NEKTON-MSA.

An
avian specific strain of lactobacillus with concentrated live
culture of common digestive bacteria found in the digestive tract of
birds.
An
energy source, which can help birds under adverse conditions such
as: showing, breeding, hand-feeding, weaning, traveling, boarding,
worming, antibiotic therapy and simple intestinal stress. Stress can
lead to illness because it increases PH levels in the crop, which
promotes the growth of disease causing bacteria in the intestinal
tract. The friendly Lactobacillus bacteria prevent or counteract
these effects. Using this avian strain Lactobacillus while
hand-feeding may prevent digestive upsets. While maintaining a
healthy digestive flora, which inhibits the growth of Pseudomonas,
Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, & Salmonella. May be used in
hand-feeding formulas. Helps day one babies get off to a good start.
