What Nekton lists it for

Official copy presents Nekton-R as a pet feed supplement to intensify red plumage areas and help reduce fading, with yeast nutrients that support the bird during the demanding molt. Species often mentioned include red canaries, red siskins, goldfinches, crossbills, painted buntings, cardinals, and other birds that show carotenoid-based red in the plumage.

Manufacturer soft tip: combine with Nekton-Biotin or Nekton-S so vitamins and minerals stay covered in the daily diet.

Dose depends on the desired intensity of the coloring.

  • 1 g Nekton-R (one level measuring spoon) sufficient for 10 small birds (canaries) in 250 ml drinking water or 100 g soft food
