Avian Probiotics Powder
Product Overview & Description
Our Multi-Strain Avian Probiotics & Prebiotic Powder delivers 2 billion live Colony Forming Units (CFU) per gram of host-specific beneficial microflora, including *Lactobacillus acidophilus*, *Enterococcus faecium*, and *Bifidobacterium bifidum*. Formulated specifically for avian gastrointestinal physiology, this supplement restores optimal gut pH, prevents opportunistic *Candida* fungal overgrowth, and enhances nutrient absorption following antibiotic therapy or environmental stress.
Technical Specifications & Materials
Avian Gastrointestinal Biology & Crop Protection
Unlike mammals, birds possess an ingluvies (crop) and proventriculus with unique microbial populations. Stress, hand-rearing formula imbalances, or oral medications deplete normal flora, allowing opportunistic yeast (*Candida albicans*) to cause sour crop. Probiotics competitively exclude pathogens and maintain protective lactic acid levels.
Post-Antibiotic Gut Flora Rehabilitation
Broad-spectrum veterinary antibiotics eliminate beneficial enteric bacteria alongside pathogens. Administering avian probiotics for 10 consecutive days following antibiotic completion rapidly re-establishes a resilient protective microbiome.
Prebiotic Inulin Synergy
The inclusion of organic chicory inulin provides non-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharides that nourish beneficial bacteria colonies, accelerating their proliferation throughout the small intestine and caeca.
Administration Instructions
Mix 1 scoop (1g) into 100g of moist soft food, sprouted seeds, or room-temperature mashed sweet potato. Do not mix into hot foods exceeding 40°C (104°F) to preserve live bacterial cultures.
Species Compatibility, Daily Husbandry & Veterinary Safety
Companion avian health requires precise alignment between the physical attributes of your bird and the materials in its daily habitat. Inspect all accessories daily for normal wear, sharp edges, or fraying. Introduce new equipment gradually during supervised daylight hours to prevent fear responses, and ensure clean, fresh water is available adjacent to feeding and resting stations at all times.
Avian Quality Assurance & Material Verification
Every aviary accessory and dietary formula offered by PickIN Parrots undergoes rigorous evaluation for psittacine biomechanical safety, non-toxic metallurgical compliance, and chemical purity. We strictly verify that all metal alloys are free from bio-accumulative zinc and lead, all wood species are non-toxic and responsibly harvested, and all nutritional ingredients meet human-grade freshness standards to safeguard your companion bird's long-term health.
Questions buyers ask about this item
Give probiotics at least 3 to 4 hours apart from the antibiotic dose, and continue for 10 days after antibiotic completion.
Yes, refrigerate after opening to preserve maximum colony forming viability over the product's 18-month shelf life.
Yes, adding a tiny pinch to cooled formula supports healthy digestive development in hand-reared chicks.
Check that your bird can perch comfortably without toe overlaps, move freely without wing contact, and manipulate feeding or toy elements using its natural anatomical reach without straining.
Perform daily surface spot-cleaning to remove fresh droppings and food debris. Conduct a thorough weekly wash with warm water and avian-safe, non-toxic disinfectant solutions.
