Vetafarm Maintenance Diet Pellets 2kg

Maintenance Diet is Vetafarm’s original veterinary-formulated diet for all parrots. It contains no artificial colours, flavours, or added sugars. Proudly Australian-made with local produce and backed by over 30 years of avian nutritional expertise, this diet is both delicious and beneficial for your bird. It provides balanced nutrition that supports growth, healthy feather development, tissue repair, and brain function.

Why a Balanced Diet Matters

Unbalanced diets often cause nutritional deficiencies, which may lead to serious health conditions such as musculoskeletal disease, cardiac issues, reproductive problems, iron storage disease, and hepatic lipidosis. To prevent these risks, Maintenance Diet has been carefully formulated by veterinarians to fulfill your bird’s core nutritional needs in an easy-to-feed format.

Key Benefits

• Supports healthy weight management without excess fat.

• Provides complete nutrition to maintain long-term wellbeing.

• Extrusion-cooked pellets ensure better digestibility, palatability, and food safety.

Feeding Directions

For best results, Maintenance Diet should make up 80% of your bird’s daily intake. The remaining 20% can include:

• 15% fresh fruits and vegetables for enrichment.

• 5% nuts and seeds as occasional treats.

Always provide fresh, clean water.

Daily Pellet Recommendation

Parrots generally require a minimum of 10% of their bodyweight in pellets per day:

• Cockatiel (90g) → 9g of pellets daily

• Sun Conure (150g) → 15g of pellets daily

• Galah (300g) → 30g of pellets daily

These amounts are a guideline only. Always consult your veterinarian if your bird has special dietary needs.

Storage

Store pellets in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, and below 30°C. For best freshness, consume within 30 days of opening.

Best before 2 years from the date of manufacture.
