Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets 25kg
Complete Floating Food for Ducks, Geese and Swans
Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets 25kg provides a convenient way to offer a nutritionally balanced diet to ducks, geese and swans while taking advantage of their natural preference for feeding around water.
Unlike ordinary poultry pellets that sink quickly once they enter the water, these specially manufactured pellets float on the water surface. This makes feeding easier for waterfowl and allows birds to collect the pellets directly from the surface.
The floating format also has another useful advantage. Food placed on the water is less accessible to doves, sparrows and rats, helping ensure more of the feed reaches the animals it was actually intended for. Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets are specifically marketed as a complete balanced diet for ducks, geese and swans and are available in both 5kg and 25kg packs.

Balanced Nutrition for Waterfowl
Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets 25kg are designed to provide more consistent nutrition than feeding waterfowl on bread, maize or loose grain alone.
A balanced pellet combines nutrients into each piece of food, reducing the opportunity for birds to select only their favourite ingredients. This is especially useful when keeping ornamental and exotic waterfowl where maintaining consistent body condition and nutritional intake is important.
A published South African feed specification referencing Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets lists a minimum 17.7% protein and 2.5% crude fat, with maximum crude fibre of 5%. The same specification lists phosphorus at a minimum of 0.8% and calcium at a maximum of 1.8%.

Why Floating Pellets?
One of the biggest advantages of Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets 25kg is right there in the name: they float.
Waterfowl naturally spend a significant amount of time around ponds and water sources, so floating food provides a practical way to offer feed in an environment where ducks, geese and swans are comfortable eating.
Floating pellets are also easier to observe. You can see where the food is being consumed and whether large amounts remain uneaten rather than disappearing immediately beneath the water.
Avi Plus specifically highlights that feeding the pellets on the water helps place the food beyond the easy reach of doves, sparrows and rats.
Feeding Guidelines
Offer Avi Plus Floating Duck Pellets 25kg as the main balanced food for suitable ducks, geese and swans.
The pellets may be distributed onto the surface of clean water where the birds can collect them naturally. They may also be offered in suitable clean feeding containers where required.
The exact amount needed depends on the:
- Species
- Size of the birds
- Number of birds being fed
- Activity level
- Body condition
- Environmental conditions
- Availability of natural forage

Provide enough food to maintain appropriate body condition without allowing excessive uneaten feed to accumulate in the pond or feeding area.
Always ensure birds have access to clean, fresh water.
