Early February, temperatures are still low, our spawners have been on artificial photoperiod for a month already, the fruit-based feeding protocol continues, but we are approaching breeding and dietary requirements change again , a support with the supplement “Reproduction“ from the turdus specialist line based on vitamins E,B vitamins, carneitin and arginine stimulate sperm production and courtship activity of males increasing fertility.
The Ginseng extract in the supplement invigorates the body, while the high level of calcium improves the quality of the eggshell. Throughout the month this will be the diet of the breeders, with the inclusion towards the end of the month of cooked and frozen insects, to begin to accustom our winged friends to eating and gradually increase the protein value of the diet, also giving the perception of increased food possibilities and thus reproduction. We administer the supplement diluted in water and added to artificial insect, ensuring better assimilation and palatability.
It is a very“delicate” period where dietary care is due. Raising turdids is not easy, although it is not insurmountable, given the food availability due to the advanced technology of the ornithological and feed industry.Their feeding regimen ( insects, fruits, etc.) is far more complex than that of granivores.
Insectivores are livelier and more sensitive birds than seed-eating birds.As such, they require more attention and constant care based on the breeder’s experience. The breeder’s knowledge, patience, modesty, and intelligence form the basis for being able to breed and reproduce them, but it is above all careful observation and respect for nature that will provide us with deserved successes.
