All vitamins and minerals help the chicken to improve its immunity, become stronger and can resist many diseases... Digestion improves and promotes good absorption of food. As a result, the growing flock of birds grows and develops in accordance with the norms of age and physiology.

In composition, they are very similar to Trivitamin, but still, according to reviews of many poultry farmers and small farmers, Trivitamin works better and more efficiently. You can also buy these pharmaceutical drugs at any pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.
Category P trivitamin consists of many multivitamin complexes (A, E and D3). Often in the ampoule, along with a complex of vitamins, there is also soybean oil or vegetable oil. Each dose is selected individually for each chick for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes. In appearance, Trivitamin resembles a liquid and oily solution. Usually the vitamin is yellow or light brown in color, it has a very specific odor, which is a characteristic feature of any vegetable oil. This mixture is insoluble in water.
According to the instructions for use of Trivitamin, this remedy can be given to chickens and turkey poults. Also, the medicine is great for other animals, the main thing is to observe the dosage for use for each separately. The composition of the capsules is excellent for the growing organism of goslings (1 capsule per 2 kg), piglets, as well as for the prevention of the calf. For prophylaxis, such "vaccination" with Trivitamin is carried out in birds at the age of 5 to 8 days after birth. For the bird's immune system, it is a storehouse of necessary vitamins and minerals for proper growth and development of chicks.

Even after a common cold, medication can be given for prevention so that the bird can fully recover.We give the medicine immediately at the first symptoms of the disease in chickens or chicks.
There is no big difference between the solution, what is drunk and what is injected. Simply, for example, an injection can be injected into both chickens and chicks, but you need to be careful with the dosage, read the instructions and carefully select the dose for each. The dose depends on the weight of the chick or other animal.
If the dose is incorrectly selected, the bird will have an overdose, which can lead to severe intoxication of the body, and this can lead to the death of the animal.

The instructions do not say that there are any side effects, except for those cases when the animal received a dose more than it should. Since the drug does not contain any chemical or toxic elements, after slaughter, meat for humans is not toxic or unsafe. No negative effects on the body were noticed.
Indications for use
To prescribe the use of drops or injections, many veterinarians are guided by several rules, or rather, symptoms that may appear in chickens:
- the bird begins to see poorly (most often typical for broilers);
- problems with the digestive system begin, possibly a disorder;
- the number of feathers on the broiler's body is significantly reduced, bald spots on the body of a bird;
- the tempo of breathing is lost, the animal can begin to breathe sharply and deeply;
- manifestation of conjunctivitis.
If a bird has a lack of vitamin D, the amount of absorbed calcium immediately decreases, which means that the body does not receive the required amount of important elements, because of which the bird's claws begin to break and can be bred. It is also noticeable that the bird begins to walk poorly and fall to your feet.
Lack of vitamin E leads to the fact that the bird begins to lay less and almost every second egg is unfertilized. The symptom of this condition is loss of appetite, as a result of which the pets begin to lose weight, and then - throw their head back. It is very important to carefully study the indications for use!
Correct dosage
For the use of drugs for prevention or treatment for large groups, experts have brought their "golden mean". For weekly chicks, per 10 kg of feed, 5.16 ml of solution is needed (which must be taken orally). When the chicks grow up to one month of age, the dosage changes, then we give them not 5.16 per 10 kg, but 8.8 ml. It will already be possible to mix the compound feed with the solution.
In an individual approach to one bird, you need to carefully calculate the dose. P-grade trivitamin for normal breeds of chickens or broilers will be given in varying amounts. Care is required with the dosage of the drug, for example, chickens of meat and egg breeds need to be given only 5 drops of the solution orally, while the pets should already be 8-9 weeks old. Give 12 drops to broilers who are 5 weeks old.
The normal solution can be pipetted directly into the throat of the animal. We give the drug every week for a month to prevent a disease such as vitamin deficiency. But the drug should not be given for more than one month! If the medicine is used when vitamin deficiency is already there, it must be drunk every day for a month, and then switch to 1 time per week. In this case, the drug is given within 2 months.
Thus, Trivitamin P is the most useful remedy for many groups of birds and animals on the farm.The main thing is to carefully read the indications for use, so as not to be mistaken with the dosage and not to destroy the livestock with your own hands. We give drops only after reading the instructions that come with the medicine.
