SPIRULINA
Spirulina is a kind of micro-algae in dry powder form. Spirulina enhances color and gloss of feathers, it stimulates fertility and a bird’s immunity. In fruit-eating birds, it is important to spread spirulina over the fruit. It slows down the molding of fruit and prevents the respiratory- and gastrointestinal to mold. Spirulina contains lots of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidant beta-carotene. Moreover, it is rich in protein.
Scientists recently announced that Spirulina dramatically strengthens the avian immune system. This is of great interest to veterinarians and breeders of exotic birds. It explains why parrots suffering from opportunistic infections recover quickly when fed Spirulina. |
