Spark Liquid, formulated by veterinarians, is a fast and effective energy and electrolyte source to ensure optimum results for rehydration, replenishment and recovery.

An essential tool in times of extreme temperature, as a first aid supplement for sick, stressed or injured birds, and is also an invaluable tool for birds in transport or on show.

Why do we recommend Spark Liquid?

During times of heat stress (e.g. birds have their wings out, are mouth-breathing and are down on the ground) birds are undergoing changes in their body chemistry. Their blood pH is altering, their sodium and potassium levels are out of kilter and their fluid balance is incorrect. While we struggle to control the temperature, we must also help the birds return to normal as soon as possible – this is why we use electrolytes!

When we are talking about electrolytes - it is balance that is key. Not only do all body cells require electrolytes to function correctly, they require certain amounts of each type of electrolyte.

Along with the supplementation of electrolytes, Vetafarm Spark Liquid also includes vital carbohydrates that will greatly improve the recovery from stress, travelling, illness, and, of course, heat.

Key Features of Spark Liquid Concentrate:

Hydrates and Supports
During times of extreme temperature, transportation, showing, illness, and recovery.

Energy and Electrolytes

Symptoms of calcium deficiency include: Dystocia/Egg Binding, soft or thin shelled eggs, flight issues, lack of coordination during flight, legs spread further apart, leg weakness, seizures, drooping wings and biting/aggression.

Calcivet has been formulated to supplement the diet of birds where calcium and Vitamin D3 may be low. It will also support breeding birds and their young with essential calcium. Vitamin D3 maximises calcium absorption in the gut.

Calcium supports shell formation and the normal development of bones in young birds. Regular use of Calcivet in seed eating birds will ensure adequate calcium for strong bones, muscle formation and general wellbeing.

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding Protexin to a new name  "ProN8ure". 

BENEFITS of ProN8ure: 

• Establishment of beneficial gut microflora
• Suppression of E. Coli Salmonella & Aeromonas spp
• Treatment and control of scouring and diarrhoea
• Improved digestibility of feed
• Improved growth and feed conversion
• Reduced digestive upsets
• Enhanced animal health
• Re-establishment of gut microflora following antibiotics, wormers or vaccination
• Reducing stress (stress disrupts normal intestinal balance)
• Safe, non-toxic and residue-free.

ProN8ure is the most advanced multi-strain Probiotic in the world today.
 Unlike many other Probiotics that consist primarily of a single strain of bacteria, ProN8ure consists of seven different naturally occurring bacteria. The effectiveness and synergy of these strains has been proven in years of trials and production application.

The uniqueness of ProN8ure is not just confined to its multi-strain formulation. Research and Development has produced a special "protection" to ensure the highest possible numbers of bacteria survive the journey through the hostile conditions of the crop or stomach, into the gut where they rapidly begin to work for the benefit of the animal.

ProN8ure's introduction to Australia makes it the first and to date, the only nationally registered Probiotic approved for administration to animals and birds.

What is a Probiotic and how does it work?
  The digestive system of all animals and birds is home to literally billions of bacteria and yeasts referred to as Microflora.
Microflora are essential to the health of any animal; aiding the digestion, breaking down cellulose and other indigestible substances; helping the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals; stimulating the immune system and preventing the proliferation of pathogens. (Pathogens reduce nutrient absorption, animal performance and cause disease).

Stress, in all forms is one of the major causes of disruption to the normal balance of microflora in the gut, allowing proliferation of pathogens. Loss of appetite, picky eating, scouring, poor condition and changes in temperament are some of the less consequences. Stress is easily induced with some common causes being: changes in diet, heavy work or training, temperature extremes, breeding, transportation, worming, vaccinations and changes to environment. 

Use of ProN8ure in these circumstances protects horses from negative intestinal changes while improving digestive efficiency and general health.

Antibiotics are particularly harmful to gut microflora, leaving animals susceptible to re-infection. ProN8ure should always be administered following any course of antibiotics. The digestive system plays a vital role in the health, vigour and performance of horses. Its correct functioning is dependent on the level and balance of bacteria and yeasts called microflora. Microflora have the major role in breaking down indigestible nutrients, in the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals, in stimulating the immune system and in preventing the proliferation of pathogens in the gut.

All horses benefit from ProN8ure's ability to stabilise intestinal microflora, maximise gut health and resist the effects of stress.

Dine-A-Chook Mega Mineral Supplement is a seaweed based soluble vitamin supplement for chickens.

Keep your chickens in optimal health with the assistance of the Dine a Chook Mega Mineral Supplement. This trace mineral supplement helps address mineral deficiencies that can arise in chooks at times of stress, growth or illness.

This easy to administer mineral supplement will maximise chicken growth potential, aid in egg production and optimise performance levels.

It is best practice to supply your chickens with this mineral supplement before vitamin deficiencies occur; or before productivity is compromised.

How to use: 

Add to your bird's water supply or alternatively, to their feed. Regular dosages of minerals will greatly assist any deficiencies as opposed to large spasmodic "megadoses”.
Ensure that your animal has easy access to the minerals. Set times of the year when feed quality is poor, or alternatively when you birds are going through periods of stress.

What is bioavailability?
In short, this basically means that the minerals can be readily absorbed or taken up by the animal and can be quickly utilized to address deficiencies and sustain output.

Ingredients:
Boron: Carrier of essential elements to the cells.
Calcium: Essential for bone and teeth formation, milk production, nerve function, cell permeability, muscle contraction and blood coagulation.
Chloride: Maintains osmotic pressure and acid-base balance of body fluids.
Cobalt: Major function as an essential component of vitamin B12 and Propionate, (a major source of energy in ruminants) rumen micro-organisms use cobalt for the synthesis of vitamin B12 and the growth of rumen bacteria.
Copper: Essential for Haemoglobin formulation, in the enzyme system for hair/wool development and pigmentation, bone development, reproduction and lactation. Enhances disease resistance.
Iodide: Used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroxin, a type of iodine that contains hormones that control metabolic rates of the animal.
Magnesium: Essential for normal skeletal development, is a constituent of bone and functions as an enzyme activator in the glycolic system.
Phosphorous: Involved in bone and teeth formation and energy metabolism, also an important component to many enzyme systems.
Potassium: Involved in osmotic pressure and acid-base balance, Influences carbohydrate metabolism and muscle activity.
Selenium: Needed for Vitamin E absorption and retention plays an important part in the production of antibodies and thus disease resistance. Deficiency may cause high rates of infertility.
Sodium: Associated with muscle contraction. Involved in water balance, transfer of nutrients to cells and waste removal.
 Sulphur: Required as a constituent of cystine and methionine (amino acids) and other elements involved in various metabolic functions.
Zinc: Needed for bone and development for normal protein synthesis and metabolisms.
