Feeding Instructions

As a Hand Rearing Food

1. Rehydrate newly hatched chicks with a suitable electrolyte solution before feeding.
2. Mixing Ratio:

• Use warm pre-boiled water (approx. 50°C)

• Mix thoroughly with powder (see species-specific charts for exact ratios)

• Let the mix stand for 2 minutes to absorb moisture, then remix

1. Feeding Temperature: 38–40°C
2. Feeding Method: Use a spoon or syringe with care to avoid aspiration. Feed until the crop is comfortably full.

4. Hygiene: Clean utensils and feeding equipment thoroughly after each use. Prepare fresh mix for every feed.
