Chiktonik is used for chickens as a probiotic to improve intestinal microflora; in addition, it enriches the bird’s body with minerals and vitamins, which is important after illness, poisoning and stress. Adding the drug to chicken feed promotes their rapid growth. Chiktonik rarely causes an allergic reaction in animals and birds, and a slight overdose is not dangerous.
Description of the drug
Chiktonik belongs to the group of probiotics that improve digestion, metabolism, and replenish the body with biological substances necessary for poultry. When added to the diet, it increases the energy potential of the mixture and allows you to reduce the amount of feed required for saturation.
Important. Chiktonik is necessary for chickens kept in cages. With the drug, birds receive a balanced diet and obesity is eliminated.
Sold in plastic containers of 1.5 or 25 liters. Can be packaged in 10 ml pharmacy bottles. This is an opaque, odorless, dark brown solution.
Biochemical properties and pharmacodynamics
Chiktonik contains the following components:
- vitamin A;
- vitamin E;
- vitamin D3;
- vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12;
- vitamin K;
- amino acids;
- inositol;
- biotin;
- lysine;
- glycine.
The effect of Chiktonik components on the body is determined by the elements it contains.
Vitamin A regulates metabolism, promotes the growth of chickens, determines the health of the organs of vision, breathing, and genitourinary system.
B vitamins determine the functioning of chicken digestion, the condition of the skin and plumage. With a lack of these vitamins, dermatitis appears on the skin of the neck and head, diarrhea, and organ degeneration. With a lack of B12, egg production and egg quality, fertilization percentage and fertility decrease.
A lack of vitamin D3 provokes the development of rickets in chickens and bone fragility in adult chickens. No less important is the presence of sufficient amounts of vitamins E, K, and amino acids. The latter ensure protein synthesis in the body and regulate metabolism. All this affects the increase in the productivity period of laying hens and contributes to weight gain in meat breeds.
