Multivite Plus 200g -Aust.Pigeon Company

Multivite Plus is a water-soluble vitamin/mineral powder that represents tremendous value for the pigeon fancier. It is complete, containing 13 vitamins and six trace elements (including iodine). At the same time, it is concentrated and economical, with only 1/3 of a teaspoon being required for each 5 litres of drinking water. Nicknamed 'The Golden Boost' in Australia because of the way it turns the water a light golden colour, it is readily taken by the birds. Multivite Plus can be given routinely as part of a health management program for 1 or 2 days per week or as required. It can be used to assist in recovery following any stress and to promote natural health during breeding, weaning, moulting and racing. Multivite Plus is sugar-free.

I feel that it is good to incorporate a complete multivitamin into the routine health management of the loft. Given 1 or 2 days per week, it helps to ensure that the birds are not lacking anything in their diet. This is particularly important during racing when birds either miss meals while away in units or eat irregularly, arriving late from races.

Vitamins are fragile molecules: their effectiveness is decreased by heat, U.V. light and contact with organic materials such as droppings and seed. To ensure the birds get the full benefit of Multivite Plus, it should therefore be mixed fresh immediately before use and is best prepared just before feeding the birds. Once mixed, ensure that it is out of the sun and that it cannot become soiled. A fresh solution is best mixed every 12 hours. Containers made of stainless steel, glass or glazed pottery are preferred because they can be thoroughly cleaned. Glass or plastic containers should preferably be opaque. Containers should be cleaned before and after use to remove any persistent biofilm.

Specifically formulated for pigeons, Multivite Plus is a balanced, fully water-soluble preparation that the birds enjoy drinking. It is available in 200-gram plastic jars with a screw top resealable lid; a measuring spoon is enclosed.
