Birds are delicate creatures that require a balanced, clean, and safe diet to thrive. While seed mixes provide essential nutrition, they can sometimes become a breeding ground for harmful fungi if not handled and treated properly. These fungi, such as Aspergillus species, can cause serious health issues in birds, including respiratory infections and digestive problems. This is where anti-fungal treatment plays a vital role.
Why Anti-Fungal Treatment is Necessary
Bird seeds are natural products, often stored and transported through varying climates and humidity levels. In such conditions, moisture can encourage fungal growth. Even small amounts of contamination can lead to mycotoxins, harmful compounds produced by certain fungi, which pose serious risks to bird health.
By applying anti-fungal treatment to the seed mix, we ensure:
Fungal spores are eliminated before they can multiply.
Longer shelf life for the seed mix without compromising nutrition.
Reduced health risks for birds, especially respiratory infections.
How Anti-Fungal Treatment Works
At The Aviarist, we take a multi-step approach to make our seed mix safe and healthy:
Thorough Cleaning – All seeds are first cleaned to remove dust, husks, and debris where fungi can hide.
Moisture Control – Seeds are dried to optimal levels to prevent fungal development.
Safe Anti-Fungal Application – We use bird-safe, food-grade anti-fungal agents to neutralize spores without affecting taste or nutrition.
Sealed Storage – Post-treatment, the seeds are packed in airtight, moisture-resistant packaging to maintain purity.
