Versele-Laga NutriBird H16 Original Pellets is a scientifically formulated complete maintenance feed specially designed for hornbills and other frugivorous and insectivorous birds. This premium extruded pellet diet ensures balanced nutrition, preventing selective feeding and guaranteeing that birds receive all essential nutrients in every bite.
Enriched with real fruit content, including apple, cranberry, and elderberry, this formula supports natural feeding habits while enhancing palatability. One of its standout features is its very low iron content (max 85 ppm), making it ideal for species prone to Iron Storage Disease (ISD), a common concern in exotic birds like hornbills.
The formula includes natural clay minerals and prebiotics (MOS) under the OPTI DIGEST system, promoting healthy gut flora and optimal digestion. OPTI FEATHER supports vibrant plumage, while OPTI CALCIUM ensures strong bones through a balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio.
Recommended by veterinarians and widely used by zoological parks and professional breeders worldwide, NutriBird H16 delivers trusted, high-performance nutrition for specialised bird species.
