Do my chickens need extra vitamins?

Even healthy chickens benefit from a vitamin supplement, especially during stress, warm weather, after a treatment or during lay. A latent vitamin A deficiency in particular often goes unnoticed, while it undermines general resistance and condition. A weekly supplement helps to make up such a deficiency before it makes itself felt.

Vita-Plus is a water-soluble multivitamin containing all essential vitamins, including vitamins A, D3, E, K and the B group. It supports the general daily health of your chickens.

• Maintenance: 2 ml/l drinking water, 1 to 2 days a week, all year round.
• After illness or during recovery: 2 ml/l drinking water, 3 to 5 consecutive days.

Why do my chickens look so poor during the moult?

In autumn, your chickens shed their old plumage and form new feathers. Feathers consist largely of keratin, a protein built up from amino acids such as methionine and lysine. During the moult, a lot of energy shifts to the formation of new feathers, which is why lay often drops and general condition temporarily declines. With the right building blocks, the change of plumage runs more smoothly and your chickens recover more quickly.

Targeted support during the moult

For a smooth moult, you combine two products that complement each other:

• Aminovital. Provides all essential amino acids, plus vitamin E, selenium and electrolytes. It supports feather development and recovery.
• Condi-Plus. Supports condition and metabolism during the moult, provides extra energy and stimulates the appetite.

Give both throughout the entire moult, 2 ml/l drinking water each, 3 days a week. They may be administered together, and also alongside Vita-Plus.
