NEKTON-S
Multi-vitamin supplement enriched with amino acids and trace elements for all cage birds

The animal body is like a machine in that it needs "parts", catalysts and "fuel" if it is to function properly. These substances are called nutrients and most of them must be supplied by the diet.

Vitamins belong to these vital nutritive substances. Some are essential for the transfer of energy while some are vital for the regulation of the protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolisms. Without vitamins, and minerals, the body is unable to break down the food substances and turn them into structural units and/or energy. Because animals can synthesise only a few vitamins and no minerals they must form a permanent part of the dietary intake. According to reports from veterinarians, however, up to 90% of the ailments they treat in birds are due to an incorrect and inadequate diet. In the majority of cases the cause is a deficiency in the active substances - vitamins, macro and trace elements, especially in times of stress when a bird's needs can fluctuate considerably.

At times like these the supply of vitamins is often either insufficient or not available to the body in full, namely, a hypovitaminosis. A hypovitaminosis is not easily recognised at first, but any long-term deficiency will lead to considerable damage to a bird's health and finally to its death.

NEKTON-S provides birds owners with a food supplement especially formulated to suit these needs. Its well-balanced composition of 13 vitamins, 18 free amino acids in the natural L form and minerals will help prevent deficiency diseases and increase the nutritional value of the diet.

NEKTON-S increases a bird's resistance to disease and the pressures of moult, shows, acclimation, etc., as well as improving its productivity, especially during breeding.

Give daily to ensure your bird's good health. Simply add to soft food or bird's drinking water.

Because of the all-round beneficial effect of NEKTON-S, aviculturists, bird parks and zoological gardens have chosen it as a daily supplement for their birds for years with success.

NEKTON-E
Vitamin E supplement for pets as aid to good health and increased fertility

Vitamin E plays a vital role in maintaining bodily functions and in the fertility of most animal species. It promotes a bird's entire metabolism - protein, carbohydrate, fatty, mineral and water metabolic processes. Vitamin E occurs in multiple forms - tocopherols. The tocopherols act as antioxidants, protect other vitamins and are essential to cellular respiration, particularly in the heart and skeletal muscle tissues. Of all the vitamin E forms in the plant kingdom alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active, an important factor in animal nutrition.

Best aid to preparing your pet for pressures of breeding season.

NEKTON-MSA
High-grade mineral supplement for pets

A special calcium supplement plus other macro and vital trace elements boosted by vitamin D3 to help rear young animals and treat calcium deficiencies.

Mineral elements are extremely important for maintaining good health, top stamina and uninterrupted reproduction.

The most important factor, whether in respect to diets or food supplements, is not only the number of individual substances but, above all, their well-balanced and well-matched composition. The mineral elements frequently operate in balanced pairs or in small groups. For example, it is a comparatively well-known fact that the nutritional role of calcium (Ca) is closely related to that of phosphorus (P) and in correlation to one another can prevent rickets and osteomalacia. Because of this, a large proportion of vitamin D3 has been added to NEKTON-MSA to help attune the Ca-P ratio to the requirements of each individual organism. By means of vitamin D3, calcium and phosphorus are better deposited in the animal's bones, thus achieving full benefit of the mineral supply.

NEKTON-MSA is primarily for animals during breeding, gestation and lactation. At these times an animal needs more minerals. An increased dose of calcium, for example, reduces the fragility of cage-birds' eggs. In fact an animal suffering from calcium deficiency diseases can be helped back to good health through NEKTON-MSA.
