Use of probiotics (NEKTON Biotic)

[h4l1.png]

Hey guys, I've been doing a lot of reading and research on probiotics. Namely, I received a recommendation from various breeders to give probiotics to my amazon. Not because of health problems, but because of maintaining a healthy organism, especially now that the season is changing and he is now stepping on his first year of age. I received a recommendation for NEKTON biotic, which I put in his water. I'm interested in your opinion, how much should I give him? I read somewhere that I give him a small scoop in water every day for 30 days. I feed him pellets every day and of course I give him vegetables and fruits and in addition I give him a mixture of seeds for Amazons.

Since I really care about his health, I weigh him every few days, I think that maybe these positive bacteria from the probiotics would give him even more for his health, plus I read that this probiotic reduces stress.

I give the same probiotic to my Bourkes, but because my water bowl doesn't feel the needed amount of water, I give just half of the spoon to not make it too dense (it's written there what the proportions should be). Also, tbh I didn't stop after 30 days, I'm still giving it...

Is giving probiotic to parrots recommended by avian vets? It never occurred to me to check into that.

Isti probiotik dajem i svom Bourkesu, ali pošto moja posuda za vodu ne osjeća potrebnu količinu vode, dajem samo pola kašike da ne bude previše gusto (tamo piše koje proporcije treba da budu). Takođe, tbh nisam prestao posle 30 dana, još uvek dajem...

Koliko puta sedmično dajete?

The only time my vet recommended probiotics is when he prescribes antibiotics.
Other than that i would imagine their poop would be the determining factor whether they need it or not.

Jedini put kada mi je veterinar preporučio probiotike je kada mi prepiše antibiotike.
Osim toga, pretpostavljam da bi njihova kakica bila odlučujući faktor da li im treba ili ne.

So you see, probiotics are positive to be given as I have read and researched. It is especially good for their immune and intestinal systems. I think I read that it is given 2 times a week

rheashard2 asked if it was recommended by avian vets. I was simply telling them my experience.​

I see nothing wrong with giving it 2 times a week. I read that too.

I give it every day, but now I'm thinking maybe it's wrong... I will change it now

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, 2 times a week is enough

Now I know it because I read what's written on your images. Unfortunately mine is in German and that part wasn't translated... so I just didn't understand (they translated how much I should give but not how often...)
