Backyard Poultry
Shake well before use. Settling is natural. Apply 1 teaspoon per gallon of water in your coop waterer once per week.
For chicks, apply for 3 days in a row, and then once per week. If using Hen Helper (recommended), apply on the same day for 3 days, and then once per week. For adult birds, apply once per week on the same day as Hen Helper.
*For best results, use Catalyst with Hen Helper. Hen Helper increases nutrient absorption so that birds can get the most out of the nutrients in Catalyst and in their feed.

Vitamin Deficiency in Chickens
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies produce countless health problems for chickens, including higher mortality and issues with egg production and egg quality. After years of research with our poultry supplements, we developed Catalyst to add an extra boost to the performance and well-being of chickens. Our quality poultry multivitamin is packed with a specially formulated, poultry-specific combination of vitamins and minerals that maximize performance.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins
The predominant focus of vitamins in poultry feed are fat-soluble vitamins. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are stored for long periods of time. If there is not a balanced correlation with the water-soluble vitamins, then a higher risk of imbalance, poor performance and toxicity may occur.
When birds get a proper balance of fatty acids, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins, the immune system is greatly strengthened, and the immune response to diseases and other challenges is increased.
If you're looking to increase the health of your backyard birds, then look no further. Catalyst is the boost you need!

With vitamins in poultry feed, the predominant focus is placed on fat-soluble vitamins. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are stored for long periods of time. If there is not a balanced correlation with the water-soluble vitamins like those in Catalyst, then a higher risk of imbalance, poor performance and toxicity may occur in your flock.
When birds get a proper balance of fatty acids, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins, then the immune system is greatly strengthened, and the immune response to diseases and other challenges is increased. Because of this, Catalyst is a great option to increase the health of your backyard birds, game birds, turkey or laying hens!
Vitamin K2 helps birds’ bodies process calcium and vitamin D. It also promotes blood health. You can give your birds heavy doses of calcium and vitamin D in their diet, but without enough K2, their bodies simply don’t have what they need to use it. This would lead to poor shell quality, a drop in egg production, brittle bones and other health issues.
Birds that take Catalyst have better leg and bone development, plus healthier hearts, skin and blood. Folic acid is included in Catalyst to encourage feather growth and reproductive health and prevent poor feathering. Vitamin D3 improves shell quality and bone health. Biotin prevents dermatitis around the eyes and on the feet.
It's absolutely possible for chickens to experience a vitamin deficiency. Just like you and me, the best way to fix a lack of essential vitamins is through a vitamin supplement!
