General Information
If several birds are maintained in a common cage or flyway, use the approximate total weight for all birds to determine feeding level. Mix with feed so that all birds receive appropriate amount. For large ratites, use 1 teaspoon for growing birds and 2 teaspoons for mature stock. Follow frequency feeding directions in Directions for Use. Reptiles should be provided Bene-Bac Plus Powder on the same weight basis as birds.
