Breeding season is a critical and highly demanding period for birds, requiring increased nutritional support to maximise reproductive success. During this time, birds need extra protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to stimulate breeding behaviours, support egg fertility, and ensure the healthy development of chicks.
Proper nutrition during breeding not only encourages optimal membrane development and strong eggshell formation but also helps protect hens from potentially life-threatening issues such as egg binding. Supporting the nutritional demands of both egg production and chick rearing is essential for the health and vitality of breeding pairs.
Nutriblend Breeder Pellets are specially formulated to meet these elevated nutritional needs. Designed for use from at least six weeks prior to breeding through to the weaning of chicks, these pellets provide balanced, targeted nutrition to support parents and offspring during this crucial life stage.
Breeding is a period of increased physiological demand that requires birds to consume more protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to successfully reproduce and rear healthy chicks. Nutriblend Breeder Pellets have been developed by experienced avian veterinarians and nutritionists with over 30 years of expertise, ensuring a scientifically balanced formula.
Made from fresh, high-quality Australian ingredients, these pellets undergo extrusion cooking to enhance palatability, digestibility, and food safety. The comprehensive nutrient profile supports egg production, chick development, and the health of breeding adults, helping to prevent common breeding-related problems such as egg binding.
Directions
- Begin feeding Nutriblend Breeder Pellets at least six weeks before the breeding season starts.
- Continue feeding throughout the breeding period, including during egg laying and chick rearing until chicks are fully weaned.
- Provide fresh water and monitor consumption to ensure adequate intake.
- Store pellets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
- Consult an avian veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations tailored to your bird species and breeding program.

How much will your bird eat?
As a guide, most cage and aviary birds will consume about 10% of their bodyweight in dry feed per day. As an example, a 100g cockatiel will consume approximately 10g of dry food per day. Fruits and Vegetables: Fruit and Vegetables should be fed to your bird (20% of diet) to encourage interaction and provide variety and stimulation. Chewable items like pine cones, cuttlefish bone, and native tree branches may be provided to help occupy your bird.
Using Vetafarm foods as a supplement:
