Vetafarm Nutriblend Large 8kg

Product Description

Provide your large companion parrot with balanced everyday nutrition using Vetafarm Nutriblend Large 8kg. This complete pellet food is formulated by avian veterinarians to help maintain a healthy weight and support your bird’s daily nutritional needs.

Nutriblend Large features colourful, fruit-flavoured pellets designed to encourage acceptance, especially in birds that are used to eating seeds. The appealing apple, blueberry and raspberry flavours make mealtimes more enjoyable.

Each pellet is extrusion cooked to support palatability, digestibility and food safety. The uniform pellet format also helps reduce selective feeding. This means your bird receives a more consistent balance of nutrients with every serving, rather than picking out favourite seeds.

The formula contains essential vitamins, minerals, calcium and amino acids. These nutrients help support normal feather development, tissue health and brain function.

Vetafarm Nutriblend Large is designed to make up approximately 80% of your parrot’s daily diet. The remaining portion should include fresh fruit and vegetables, along with a small amount of suitable treats.

The generous 8kg pack is ideal for households with larger parrots or multiple birds, providing a convenient supply of their regular pellet food.

Feeding Guidelines

Feed Vetafarm Nutriblend Large as approximately 80% of your parrot’s daily diet.

The remaining 20% should consist of:

• 15% fresh fruit and vegetables
• 5% suitable treats, such as nuts and seeds

Vetafarm recommends a minimum daily pellet intake of 10% of your bird’s bodyweight.

Daily feeding examples:

• 300g Galah: Minimum 30g of pellets per day
• 600g Cockatoo: Minimum 60g of pellets per day
• 1kg Macaw: Minimum 100g of pellets per day

These amounts are general guidelines. Adjust feeding to suit your bird’s individual needs and activity level. Always provide fresh, clean drinking water.

When changing from a seed-based diet, introduce pellets gradually and monitor your bird’s food intake. If your bird has special dietary requirements, consult an avian veterinarian.
