The gut must be reactivated. Our experience indicates the main cause of this going light problem is a lack of trace minerals in the diet and a lack of good floral balance in the gut. Both of these problems are easily prevented and with proper care can be restored within your bird's body and returned to robust health albeit it takes about sixty days. Trace Minerals must be reintroduced into the body in order for the gut to reactivate along with the good flora. Concentrated Trace Minerals are in liquid form and are dispensed with included dropper.
Normal dosage is three drops per gallon for chicks and five drops per gallon for adults.
Mix well then administer as much as the bird will take six to eight times daily for three to five days with an eye dropper, then three times daily for another ten days. It has been used in the bird industry in Europe since 1874 and hence does NOT require refrigeration. It is used either in the water, the soft food or both. Once the birds are restored to health, then the ProBac Adult can be administered two to three times weekly.
