Phenix Stresspac 100g

Vitamin, Mineral and Electrolyte Support for Poultry

Phenix Stresspac 100g is a concentrated nutritional supplement formulated specifically for poultry and ostriches. It provides a comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes to support birds during periods of stress and dehydration where essential nutrients may be lost.

Stress can place additional nutritional demands on poultry. High environmental temperatures, handling, transport and other demanding management conditions can affect normal feeding and drinking behaviour. Phenix Stresspac provides an easy way to supplement essential nutrients through either the birds’ drinking water or complete feed.

Virbac registers Phenix Stresspac as an aid in all forms of stress and dehydration resulting in the loss of essential vitamins and minerals. It is a nutritional supplement and should not be regarded as a treatment for infectious disease or as a replacement for appropriate veterinary care.

Nutritional Support During Stress

Phenix Stresspac 100g combines a broad range of vitamins that contribute to normal physiological functions in poultry.

Vitamin A is important for normal growth and tissue maintenance, while vitamin D3 is involved in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Vitamin E provides antioxidant nutritional support, and vitamin K contributes to normal blood-clotting processes.

The formula also contains several B-group vitamins, including riboflavin, pyridoxine, vitamin B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin and biotin. These vitamins participate in normal metabolic processes and energy utilisation.

Vitamin C is included at a substantial concentration. Virbac also discusses vitamin C supplementation as nutritional support for poultry exposed to high environmental temperatures and heat stress.

Sodium chloride and potassium chloride provide additional electrolyte support, which is particularly relevant when birds are experiencing dehydration and associated nutrient loss.

Suitable For

Phenix Stresspac 100g is registered for:

• Poultry
• Ostriches

This includes its use as a nutritional supplement in poultry management where stress and dehydration may result in loss of vitamins and minerals. Virbac does not list parrots, budgies, pigeons or other companion bird species on the registered product information, so I would not advertise Phenix Stresspac as a general pet-bird supplement unless a veterinarian recommends its use for another species.

When May Phenix Stresspac Be Useful?

Phenix Stresspac may be particularly useful as nutritional support during demanding periods where poultry are experiencing stress or dehydration.

Virbac specifically discusses nutritional supplementation, including vitamin C, in relation to heat stress in poultry, particularly when environmental temperatures become high. However, the formal registered indication for Phenix Stresspac remains assistance during stress and dehydration resulting in vitamin and mineral losses.

Birds that are severely dehydrated, weak, not eating or drinking, experiencing respiratory symptoms, abnormal droppings or unexplained deaths require appropriate investigation. A nutritional supplement should not be used as a substitute for diagnosis and treatment where disease is suspected.

Warnings

• For animal use only.
• Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.
• Use according to the manufacturer’s directions.
• If the product appears ineffective or the birds’ condition is concerning, seek veterinary advice.
• Do not rely on vitamin supplementation alone where infectious disease or another serious condition is suspected.

Storage

Store Phenix Stresspac:

• In a cool, dry place
• In a well-closed container
