Canthaxanthin for birds, Canthaxanthin for canaries
Feed grade Canthaxanthin is a feed additive mainly used in the feed of certain farmed animals (such as poultry, ornamental fish, etc.) to improve the color of meat, eggs, skin or feathers. For certain birds, such as ornamental chickens, ornamental ducks, or fish, cantharidin is considered relatively safe when used in prescribed doses and can be legally used to enhance their appearance color.
However, for pet birds or wild birds not for food purposes, such as Canthaxanthin for canaries, parrots, etc., it is generally not recommended to use cantharidin or other artificial colors to change their feather color. The natural diet of these birds is already capable of providing enough pigment to maintain the natural color of their feathers, and the artificial addition of pigment may pose an unnecessary risk to their health, although the direct health hazards are usually limited at normal doses used.
Therefore, if the aim is to promote the health and well-being of pet birds, the focus should be on providing a balanced and diverse natural food, rather than relying on colour additives. Before considering using cantharidin on any bird, it is best to consult a professional veterinarian or bird breeder.
