Feeding instructions for administering carophyll to canaries
Feeding – economic method
The most economic method is only to supply carophyll during the period of molt, using approximately one third of a level teaspoon (0.5 gram) of carophyll for every 500 g of feed.
Feeding – throughout the year
Many canary breeders prefer to use very small quantities of carophyll throughout the year and claim that, by doing so, they are able to maintain the best possible intense red color in plumage. For this method, use approximately 1 level teaspoon of carophyll per every 2kg of feed.
The stability of carophyll when mixed into a dry feed is excellent, so that supplies for a few weeks at a time can be made up quite safely. When it is mixed with a moist, soft food, however, this must be prepared fresh each day.
Feeding – show quality canaries into soft food
Many show breeders recommend using 5-7 gram of red carophyll into 1 pound of soft food mix , when you see the droppings of the birds are red , that means you are using too much , lower the amount of carophyll into the soft food , you can add your desired vitamins and minerals on the soft food .
Feeding into drinking water
Some breeders use their caropyll in the birds drinking water , they recommend 1 gram per 250 ml of water , in order to dissolve the carophyll , warm up about 100 ml of water , add the carophyll in, mix it well , make sure all the particles have been dissolved , and add the remaining 150 ml of room temperature water on top of it . the mixed water can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, change the birds water daily
. Do not add any vitamin or mineral in water when you use this method
.
Effects of carophyll in birds
Whilst excess supplies of carophyll can, to an extent, be stored in the liver of birds it is essential to follow the feeding methods contained in this document. Thus, any interruption in the addition of carophyll is not likely to affect the plumage color adversely unless, of course, it is just before or during molting when carophyll should always be supplied. It is important to note that the droppings of birds receiving carophyll may also become red in color. This is quite normal and unlikely to have adverse effects as long as the feeding methods and quantities described above are being followed. If too much carophyll is supplied, a bird’s plumage may tend to become dull and the bird’s head may take on a purplish tinge until the over dosage has been corrected.
