Indicated for canaries that we wish to avoid ‘dorée’ (pigmentation of the feather derived from the ingestion of carotenoids and xanthophylls). Serinus formulas are complete foods. The maintenance formula is indicated for ornamental and singing birds, and to be supplied during the non reproductive period in breeding individuals.
The white formulas are foods designed for breeds that, due to the established competition standards, should not show reddish, orange or yellowish colors in their plumage. They are free of carotenes and xanthophylls and, on the other hand, contain higher levels of other antioxidants and vitamin A. They are designed to be fed as a unique diet.
Alternatively, they can be used with seeds in mixed diets. It is advisable to supply leafy vegetables periodically in order to give variety to the diet. It should be fed dry and in feeders with grids. Store in a cool and dry place. Daily consumption: approximately 3-4 g per day per bird.
