What Nekton lists it for
Official copy describes Nekton-R-Beta as a pet feed supplement to intensify color for salmon-colored feather areas, help prevent fading, and support natural shine and brightness of the plumage. It may also support the bird in a natural way during molting. The formula highlights beta carotene plus brewer's yeast nutrients and prebiotic yeast cell walls.
Species/use caveat: dosing examples on the official page reference canaries; always match use to the plumage color goal and the pack guidance for your birds.
How to mix | Manufacturer directions
Intensity depends on the desired colouring. Nekton states:
- 1 g (one level Nekton spoon) sufficient for 10 canaries in 250 ml drinking water or in 100 g soft food
- Administer during molting only; prepare fresh each day
- Offer from the beginning of molting/rearing until the end of molting or when color is fully restored
Label first: Because of higher dye content than a complete feed, add only up to 9.5% of a bird's daily ration. Confirm rates on the pack you receive.
