Vitamins & Minerals

Our rations contain all of the necessary vitamins and minerals required for each stage of a birds life. These diets sit within the legal restrictions, and provide the optimum levels to meet the birds requirements.

These include essential nutrients such as Copper, Manganese, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin K, and Vitamin D.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for general functioning of the body but is also essential for reproduction and disease immunity.

Vitamin E helps to reduce mortality and the use of medication on farm.

BENEFITS

• Optimal development for a healthy bird

• Increase in fertility during breeding season

• Helps build immunity to infections

HEALTHY BIRDS = LOWER MORTALITY = IMPROVED PROFITS!

Sportsman completed a review of the published scientific literature and subsequently made a change to our selenium source.

Hydroxy-selenomethionine is the selenium source included within our rations due to it having naturally occurring amino acids, which are easily absorbed and used by the body to maximise production efficiency for our customers.

BENEFITS

• Increased metabolism

• Increased growth

• Successful reproduction

• Improved antioxidant protection

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for feather production, immunity and reproduction functions within gamebirds.

In our Sportsman range, we have chosen to use chelated zinc as it is highly bioavailable and easy for the bird to absorb.
