Developed by an avian nutritionist, Emeraid Psittacine is the first elemental diet designed for the critically ill grain-eating bird.

Recommended Use

Emeraid Psittacine is designed to meet the metabolic needs of critically ill birds such as psittacines, finches, and frugivores. This diet may be fed as a sole or partial source of nutrition, however Emeraid is low in fiber and should not be fed for more than 7 days.

Features and Benefits

This diet contains:

• All essential amino acids, making protein more easily absorbable.
• A highly digestible blend of fats and simple carbohydrates for energy.
• Balanced omega 3/6 polyunsaturated fatty acids
• Dietary nucleotides to provide DNA and RNA precursors

Although individualized care and clinical judgment is crucial to enhance treatment success, Emeraid Psittacine is designed for twice daily gavage feeding.

Feeding Directions

• The smallest tubes that may be used reliably to feed Emeraid Psittacine are 16 gauge stainless steel feeding needles and 5 French red rubber catheters.
  1. Ideally formula should be prepared immediately before feeding and no more than 30 minutes before feeding. Reheating is not advised.
  2. Measure one level scoop of powder (equivalent to 10 grams). Do not pack powder. Add to mixing container then shake powder.
  3. Add 10 ml of water (105-110ºF or 41-43ºC)
  4. Shake mixture vigorously.
  5. Keep feeding tube and syringe containing formula in warm water until ready to feed.
  6. Do not load feeding tube with formula until immediately before feeding.
