Why do you need to add vitamins for your pet?
We believe this is a question that many keepers have. Obviously the feeds have balanced and complete nutrients, and even more so, their pet will be fed raw bait.
Really can’t think of a reason why need to add extra vitamins. Actually, that's not hundred percent right.
Many major brand feeds on the market do add sufficient nutrients when manufacturing the feeds.
However, after opening, these nutrients will actually oxidize, deliquesce and even deteriorate over time, and will be lost naturally.
There are many oxidizing substances in feed, and the main functions of vitamins C and E are antioxidants. Therefore, it will be lost quickly as soon as it is opened, especially in Taiwan's summer, which is humid and sultry.
Moisture is harmful to storage of feed, and high temperature oxidizes faster. Within the metabolism of pet itself, our pet will suffer from vitamin deficiency.
The Reptile Carnivorous Multivitamins and the Aquatic Multivitamins are designed for omnivorous, carnivorous, and aquatic creatures that are particularly prone to fatty liver disease.
It has a super powerful liver-protective effect that can promote growth and increase egg production rate.
In addition, if you want to receive high quality eggs during the breeding season, you must not be careless about supplementing water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins!
Conditions such as mottled body color of the breeding pair, the mother laying unfertilized eggs, and eating eggs are actually related to vitamin deficiency.
|Water-soluble vitamins|
Lack of vitamin B: metabolic abnormalities, growth retardation, and motor dysfunction
Lack of vitamin C: Soft tissue abnormalities, bone deformation, and reduced wound recovery
|Fat-soluble vitamins|
Lack of vitamin A: Abnormal body color, stagnant growth, strangely shaped or shapeless eggs
Lack of vitamin D: Dystocia, gonad-related hormone secretion
Lack of vitamin E: Affects the absorption and utilization of all fat-soluble vitamins
Therefore, the intake of fattening vitamins before and after the breeding season is really important!
The vitamins added to Hikari are very sufficient, there is no problem in feeding Hikari as a daily main food.
Before and after the breeding season, you can combine Hikari with The Reptile Carnivorous Multivitamins and the Aquatic Multivitamins to quickly achieve fattening effects!
