Why Organic Oat Bran?
In Leslie’s balanced food plan is important to understand that she has carefully reviewed all of the nutritional needs of parrots. And one of the essential nutrients that is lacking in all the existing avian diets elsewhere are prebiotics.
.
What are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are found in only a few natural whole foods and they are described as non-digestible carbohydrates that selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Prebiotics have been shown to help improve the overall health of the individual. During digestion, prebiotic foods breakdown into short-chain fatty acids that are released into the blood stream and circulate throughout the entire body. This is how prebiotic foods can have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract and many other organs in the body.
.
According to researchers the benefits seen from using prebiotic foods in birds include an increase in avian growth rates, decreased mortality levels, and prebiotics can help prevent food-borne pathogens from infecting the birds.
