AVI-CULTURE - A Little Goes a Long Way

AVI-CULTURE offers aviculturists, vets, zoo curators, and pet owners the finest Probiotic on the market with bacterial counts of over 100 million living organisms for the avian intestine per gram! It is over 100 times more effective than most other probiotic products on the market today!

AVI-CULTURE is produced using proven, field-tested microorganisms that have been shown to implant on the villi of the intestinal tract in birds: Lacto-bacillus acidophilus, produces lactic acid and the enzyme amylase during the growth phase of birds; Lactobacillus casei enjoys a wide temperature and pH range during growth and complements L. acidophilus producing lactic acid and amylase in birds; Bifidobacterium bifidium, a delicate microorganism found in mother's milk and human, animal and bird intestines; Enterococcus faecium for lactic acid production in pH ranges of birds similar to L. casei.
