NEKTON-GELB
Vitamin supplements to brighten colours, enhance plumage
and prevent colours fading

Feathers are given their colours by the deposits of carotenoids, red and yellow pigments/lipochromes, found in plants and the fatty tissues of animals. Although the deposits are minute they are spread over the whole surface of the feathers creating the various shades. Carotenoids are the most widely distributed pigments in nature and are found in all parts of plants, even in the green parts, where they are overshadowed by the preponderance of green chlorophyll. An animal's organism is not capable of synthesising carotenoids itself which means these colour pigments must form part of the dietary intake.

NEKTON-R
Contains the carotenoid Canthaxanthin to preserve and enhance red parts of plumage and deepen other colours. Effective additive to bird feed to bring out colours in same brilliance they have in their natural surroundings. In addition NEKTON-R is a well-balanced formula of amino acids, essential vitamins and minerals as an excellent aid to good health and condition during the moult.

NEKTON-R boosts the red colouring in the plumage of such birds as goldfinches, crossbills, red canaries, red siskins, painted buntings, cardinals, sun birds, ibises and flamingos as well as all other species producing carotenoid in their plumage.

To be used when new feathers are growing in.

NEKTON-R-BETA Achieves splendid red colouring through the natural carotenoid Beta-carotene. Especially effective on red parts of coloured canaries without affecting yellow plumage. Ensure your bird is ready for that all-important show or exhibition by adding NEKTON-R-BETA with its 13 vitamins, 6 trace elements, water-soluble calcium, 18 indispensable amino acids and that valuable provitamin and carotenoid Beta-carotene. NEKTON-GELB Prevent colours from fading or heighten yellow shades of plumage by adding NEKTON-GELB. The nature-identical carotenoid Apo-8-carotenoic acid ethyl ester gives the yellow shades a strong and brilliant hue. Add to nestling or egg food, or to drinking water, at the beginning of the moult until a full set of new feathers has grown in. In order to help a bird through this time of pressure and strain and maintain health, which also reflects in full and shiny feathers, the carotenoid has been added to a basic formula of important vitamins, essential free amino acids and a combination of macro and trace elements. NEKTON-BIO Protein-enriched food supplement to ensure good feather growth and help prevent plumage defects After years of research and experiments we developed NEKTON-BIO to meet certain problems in a bird's plumage and to ensure healthy feather growth in all types of birds. Feathers are largely protein in nature, which is why 18 free amino acids have been included in NEKTON-BIO to help a bird build the proteins needed. Of the amino acids, arginine, methionine and lysine are particularly vital in a supplement because most cage or aviary birds are fed on bird seed, which is poor in these amino acids. Vitamins A, E, and Biotin also have a positive effect on feather growth. Altogether 13 vitamins, 6 trace elements and calcium have been combined with the amino acids to create a special formula to support the organism during the moult and encourage the growth of smooth and glossy feathers.
