MURPHY'S PRO-SYSTEM MINERALS 250g TUB - FOR MOST BIRDS

To achieve success in keeping, breeding and exhibiting, a number of important factors must be recognised:

• All housing must be clean, dry and free from draughts and have adequate lighting and fresh air.
• Equipment, cages, flights and general enviroment must be kept hygienic, clean and tidy.
• The birds must have access at all times to a clean supply of water and a good quality, varied and healthy diet.
• The gene combination must be sound, which involves careful selection and breeding, together with a regularly up-dated record system.
  

Trial Notes
The trials were carried out using the following food stuffs:
50% Plain Canary / 25% White Millet / 7.5% Yellow Millet / 7.5% Panicum Millet / 7.5% Japanese Millet / 2.5% Niger Seed.
1. A good quality grit was always available and replenished weekly. (All old material being replaced by new).
2. PRO-SYSTEM mINERAL fed daily in finger drawers.
3. Cuttlefish bone was available but consumption was at low level.

Observations during breeding.
1. 100% of the nests were completely dry and appered almost unused, accepting the fact no dieases was present.
2. The normally large, wet, voluminous excreta from the hen birds was adsent. In consequence, hen birds were not badly swollen and the cage enviroment was improved by the absence of smelly materials. Hen birds also quickly recovered their pre-breeding season condition.

Please note: This mineral supplement under certain weather conditions can become hygroscopic (absorbs water). No harm will come to birds consuming clean, damp material.

Damp matter may be dried out in the oven using a low heat setting.

Murphy's law

As a breeder, maintaining the health and wellbeing of your birds is no doubt a vital part of your daily routine.

Although feeding a healthy, well balanced diet is the best way to keep your birds in peak condition, there are occasions where a little 'something extra' may be required to maintain good health.

In the wild, a bird's own self-regulating immune system ensures that it receives a balance of organic and inorganic nutrients to maintain health, vigour and breeding condition.

However, in captivity birds don’t have access to the same materials and so maintaining the correct level of nutrients is slightly harder and, while many breeders acknowledge the need for nutritional supplements, they do run the risk of other nutrients being “thrown out of balance”. This just ends up wasting time and money as well as having the potential to make the birds sick.

Murphy's Pro System mineral supplement solves this problem by introducing a carefully formulated source of vitamins and minerals especially prepared for budgerigars.

Developed and tested during many years with real birds in real conditions, birds reared on Murphy's Pro System are significantly less prone to disease. The number of chicks that hatch and leave the nest box and reach self sufficiency is greatly improved.

Murphy's Pro System has been proven time and again to help budgerigars reach their full potential and it can easily do the same for your birds too.

For caged birds this powder supplement is best given by strategically placing it in finger drawers allowing for easy access.

And for birds in free flight the supplement should be placed in dishes protected from the weather. Any fouled material should be thrown out and the drawers or dishes cleaned and sterilized before use.

I use this product for all my birds in finger drawers all year round.
