  • Feeding Guide
    Follow the below directions carefully if you are to have success with your hand reared babies.
    Starting your baby on Neocare or Hand Rearing Food: For best results always start with a very runny mix. Add 2 small level scoops (scoop enclosed in packet) of formula to a jar or cup, then add one large scoop and one small scoop of boiling water. Mix thoroughly using a fork for 30 seconds or until an even consistency is achieved (like gritty milk). Check temperature and feed. The above mix then needs to be gradually thickened over a 48 hour period, at which point the below regular mixing directions are to be used until the bird is weaned.

    Mixing Regular Formula: Add one large level scoop of formula to a jar or cup, then add one large scoop of boiling water. Mix thoroughly using a fork for 30 seconds until a thick and consistent paste is formed. Add a further 3 small scoops of cool water and mix for a further 2 minutes or until an even consistency is achieved. Check temperature and feed. Food Temperature: The temperature of food fed to babies (irrespective of age) should be between 36- 38 C. Temps hotter than 43 C will begin to burn the crop, lower than 34 C will cause problems with digestion. It is important that you DO NOT use a microwave to heat the formula.

    Feeding Frequency and Amount: The age and species of birds being raised affects the amount and frequency of feeds. Be sure to research the requirements of your individual birds thoroughly before you begin. As a rule, the last feed of the day should be late at night around 10-11pm and the next feed early the following morning at approximately 5-6am. It is important to note that at the first feed of the day the crop should be completely empty. The crop should be allowed to empty completely once every 24hrs.

    My baby pigeon friends love this stuff! I've found Vetafarm Neocare easy to use, especially after viewing the helpful videos on the Vetafarm YouTube channel, particularly the one which shows how to mix up Neocare to ensure it's lump-free & can be fed to babies easily. The squabs who have been fed with it are healthy & happy so far, & they eagerly down their meals with gusto, so they seem to think it's pretty awesome. I think it's awesome too, due to the special vet-designed formula, which ensures they get everything they need in one product.
