Vitamins & Minerals
PRIME contains 14 vitamins with extra vitamin D and E for improved breeding. While vitamin C is not required by many birds, the included vitamin C in PRIME acts as a natural anti-oxidant protecting the other important vitamins from inactivation. Unfortunately many products are missing this 14th Vitamin, especially those that are water based whose vitamins are more rapidly oxydized. Vitamin C also acts as a natural preservative of the lactobacillus bacteria found in PRIME. It helps reduce disease during stressful periods.

Feeding Guide
PREFERRED METHOD (moist food dosage):
Mix or sprinkle recommended dose over the bird’s favorite greens, vegetables and/or fruit. Do not mix supplement in standard seed mix as most will settle to food dish bottom or the powder may coat the seeds and be removed with empty seed hulls. By using the bird’s favorite moist foods to absorb the powder, smaller and more accurate dosages can be used since total consumption of the treated food is achieved.
Daily Dosage on moist food:
(enclosed spoon = 1 c.c. )
Small birds (Canary, Cockatiel, Finch, Lovebirds, Parakeet, etc.) ½ c.c. per day.
Medium birds (Goffin, Lory, Miniature Macaw, Mynah, Pionus, Small Amazon, Softbills, Timneh, etc.) 1 c.c. per day.
Larger birds (African Grey, Amazon, Cockatoo, Macaw, Toucan, etc.) 1 ½ c.c. per day
