What Vetafarm lists it for

Healthy membranes in a fertilized egg matter for embryo development. Vetafarm says breeding birds need essential fatty acids for membrane development, and Breeding Aid also supplies:

  • Essential fatty acids for membrane development, egg laying, chick growth, and immunity
  • Vitamin A for cell development
  • Vitamin D3 for calcium absorption, bone growth, and egg formation
  • Vitamin E, described as an antioxidant that helps maintain cell membranes

Vetafarm recommends it for breeding birds on seed, especially smaller birds that lay many eggs or multiple clutches.

How to mix | Manufacturer directions

Mix 20 mL of Breeding Aid per 1 kg of seed (1½ fl oz per 5 lb). Work it through by hand so the oil coats the seed evenly. Let the mix sit 12 to 24 hours so the oil can move into the kernel.

Batches can be made to last about a week. Store treated seed that is not used on the first day in the refrigerator.

Fussy eaters: Some retailers note starting at 5–10 mL per kg and working up. If your pack lists a different rate, follow that pack.
