Birds maintained on diets cods
Vetafarm D’Nutrical Powder is a premium powdered calcium, vitamin and mineral supplement specially formulated to support healthy bones, strong eggshell formation, normal growth and general nutritional wellbeing in companion, aviary and breeding birds.
Developed by Australian avian veterinarians, D’Nutrical provides a concentrated source of 31% calcium, together with essential vitamins and minerals to help balance diets that may be lacking in important nutrients.
It is particularly useful for birds maintained on seed-based diets, breeding pairs during egg production and growing chicks requiring additional calcium and nutritional support.

Key Benefits
- Contains 31% calcium for concentrated supplementation
- Supports strong eggshell formation in breeding birds
- Provides essential vitamins and minerals
- Helps maintain healthy bones and normal skeletal development
- Particularly useful for birds on seed-based diets
- Supports the increased nutritional requirements of breeding birds
- Provides calcium supplementation for growing chicks
- Contains vitamin D3, impntaining predominantly seeds may not receive an ideal balance of calcium and other essential nutrients.
Vetafarm D’Nutrical provides 310mg of calcium per gram of powder, making it a concentrated source of supplementary calcium.
It is designed to help improve the nutritional balance of appropriate bird feeding programs.
Supports Strong Eggshell Formation
Breeding birds have increased calcium requirements during egg production.
Calcium is a major structural component of eggshells, and inadequate dietary calcium can contribute to poor shell quality.
Vetafarm D’Nutrical provides additional calcium to support normal eggshell development.
It can be particularly useful during the breeding season when hens require additional nutritional support.
Supports Healthy Bone Development in Growing Birds
Growing chicks require adequate calcium and phosphorus for normal skeletal development.
D’Nutrical supplies calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3, nutrients involved in normal bone growth and mineral metabolism.
When used as part of a balanced feeding program, it can help support the nutritional needs of developing birds.
Ideal for Birds on Seed-Based Diets
Seed-based diets can be deficient in certain vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium and vitamin A.
D’Nutrical is designed to supplement appropriate food sources with nutrients that may be lacking in these diets.
It can be used alongside a varied, species-appropriate feeding program that includes suitable vegetables, other fresh foods and balanced commercial feeds where appropriate.
Important: Supplementation does not replace the benefits of feeding a nutritionally balanced diet.
