A COMPLEMENTARY FOOD FOR SWANS, DUCKS, GEESE, MOORHENS & COOTS
Brambles Swan & Duck Food is a complementary food specially formulated to give the right balance of nutrients, vitamins & minerals for swans and ducks. It is a fantastic alternative to bread, which doesn't have much nutritional value and fills ducks and swans stomachs so that they don't forage for food they would naturally eat, which can lead to malnutrition. Provided young waterfowl are foraging for themselves then supplementary feeding of this food (which softens when in the water) is fine and often really important. Also suitable for geese, moorhens and coots. Made in Great Britain.
This guide provides essential information for users of Brambles Swan & Duck Food (1.75kg), a complementary food designed to provide balanced nutrition for swans, ducks, geese, moorhens, and coots. This food offers a nutritious alternative to bread, which can be detrimental to waterfowl health. However, it's important to remember that this is a supplementary food, and young waterfowl should ideally forage for themselves.
