Bird supplements Dr. Coutteel
Introduction
Doctor Peter Coutteel graduated at the state university of Ghent in 1983. Peter’s fascination for animals and birds in particular already manifested in his childhood.
From the beginning of his profession as a veterinarian, Peter put his focus on the field of birds.
Thanks to his participation in congresses all around the world, his knowledge was not limited only to the most common species. He also knows a great deal about the less familiar feathered friend.
Because of his involvement in global congresses, he got a tremendous amount experience which resulted in several scientific publications.
The last decade, he exclusively treats birds of all kinds in vet center Trigenio in Nijlen, Belgium.
By giving lectures, he tries to assist bird lovers and owners to guarantee an optimal pursue of their hobby. One of his largest goals is to give the breeder the proper guidance and to stress the interest of a positive collaboration between the breeder and the veterinarian.
A breeder is always required to simulate their bird’s habitat to the best of his ability. This applies to both food and housing… and this goes for all of its aspects.
The philosophy of the line of food closely follows that idea.
Good luck!
AMINO-FORT
Amino acid supplement.
AMINO-FORT contains 20 amino acids of which the share of Methionine, Choline and Lysine is over 30%.
Each cell needs amino acids to assemble proteins. We know 20 of these building bricks. The body itself can make 12 independently, 8 of them need to come from food. We call these ones “essential amino acids”.
Amino-Fort can be used on a daily basis during breeding and molting.
Purpose
- To prevent a shortage of essential amino acids
- To boost growth and muscle development
- Needed during the molting
- Indispensable for heavily feathered breeds
- Replace other protein sources
Administration
- Dose per feeding: 5 measuring spoons (ca. 20g) / 1 kg soft food
- Not soluble in water

ELEKTROLYTES
ELEKTROLYTES is a rehydrating formula for pigeons.
This composition contains a unique combination of electrolytes (salts and minerals) and glucose as an energy source. Electrolytes ensure a perfect balance of water inside the body. During a heavy physical effort, during a game for example, the body looses a lot of fluid and body salts, like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride. When a shortage of these electrolytes occurs, the body will have a disturbed balance of fluid which results in a reduction of both stamina and performance.
Purpose
- Restores moisture balance
- Tackles the loss of moisture
- Faster recovery after racing
- Removal of lactic acid from muscles
- Enhances the recovery after a lot of moisture loss
Administration
- Through drinking water
- Dosage: 5 full sizes (30g) / 1l drinking water
- Keep dry and make sure to close well after use

GEZONDHEIDSOLIE
GEZONDHEIDSOLIE (health oil) contains essential natural oils and active aromatics.
By strengthening the oil, resistance will be stimulated in a natural manner. When resistance is increased, the is less need for antibiotics.
Oils can also operate as a reserve source of energy on which the body can rely.
Purpose
- Increase resistance
- To guarantee a less stressful life
- Creation of reserve fuel for muscle activity
- Protection against the risks that can harm health when living in captivity
- Recommended when breeding without antibiotics
- Purifying and detoxifying
Administration
- Through feeding
- Dosage: 15ml per kg food, 3 times a week
- Best to be combined with MULTIVITAMINE

HEPATO-CHOL
Supplement to support the metabolism and molting
HEPATO-CHOL contains essential amino acids, vitamins, sorbitol and natural plant extracts.
The liver is an organ where various metabolic processes take place. There are many substances stored here as a reserve, but also a number of waste excreted.
In severe hepatic impairment, the body will pollute itself, which is very serious and can even have fatal consequences.
Purpose
- Improves the function of the metabolic rate
- Helps the excretion of waste
- Improves the process of growth and muscle development
- Prevents a shortage of essential amino acids
- Important supplement during the molting
- Very useful for birds that get additional dyes
Administration
- Through drinking water
- Dosage: 10ml/ liter, best twice a week
Presentation
- Fluid of 250ml and 500ml
HEPATO-CHOL contains plant extracts and may show a light-fledged sediment. This has no influence on the efficiency of the product. Shake before use.
MULTIVITAMINE
MULTIVITAMINE contains all necessary vitamins and oligo-elements that are required to support labor-intensive activity.
Vitamins fulfill vital functions inside the body. Most of these vitamins cannot be produced by the body itself so it has to be handed over through the feeding process. Deficits give rise to the emerge of various diseases. Vitamins have a specific effect on the metabolism of the body and provide an increase of resistance.
It also contains essential amino acids, necessary for good muscle development and the support of various organ functions.
Other ingredients are vegetable fibers that guarantee a balanced digestion.
Purpose
- Ensure top condition
- To fully optimize growth of young animals
- Ensure a solid bone
- Increase resistance during stress periods such as contests, TT, transportation or new housing.
- Extra help during the molting and breeding
Administration
- Only to be mixed through the food
- Dosage: 3 scoops (Approx. 15g) / kg nutrition, 3 times a week
- Is best combined with GEZONDHEIDSOLIE
