Tips by Dr. Peter Coutteel: Rest Pack

The reproduction period is ending, the young are already weaned and it is time to prepare the breeding birds for their deserved rest, before the moult begins. It is advisable to house them in small groups so that they have sufficient physical activity and muscle development is adequate. Ventilation is very important and hygiene must be strict in order to continue with good results.

During this period, we must administer some specific supplements; let's take into account that the molt is approaching and we must make sure to prepare our birds well so that they can face the molting at 100%. During this period, we will continue using the vitamins and amino acids of the reproduction phase. These supplements promote the growth of new feathers and help during moulting, but also promote the growth of young birds, ensuring optimum bone development and bright and colorful plumage.

Dr. Peter Coutteel recommends us to use 3 products:

• Vit-Az-Min. Promotes the growth of young birds, ensures a solid bone development, birds get a beautiful expression of plumage color and resistance to diseases increases.


• Amino-Fort, which provides essential amino acids, which are essential for the growth of birds. Amino-Fort replaces other protein sources and promotes the rapid growth of young birds. Young birds grow quickly developing a good muscle volume.


• Hepato-Chol, to promote and improve liver function and stimulate metabolism. It also contains amino acids, vitamins, sorbitol and natural plant extracts that will be essential during moulting.

The scheme to follow during the rest period is as follows:

We will administer these three products at least twice a week:

• Vit-Az-Min, 20 gr per kg of food.


• Amino-Fort, 20 gr per kg of food.


• Hepato-Chol, 10ml per liter of drinking water.
