Selection Ornimix White Sesame Seed 1kg

Composition: white sesame (Sesamum indicum).
Sesame seeds are exceptionally rich in manganese, iron, calcium and magnesium, all of which are essential to the avian diet.
In the wild, birds of each species adapt to diets that are actively available in their habitat. It becomes quite a hurdle to scour which food will provide essential nutrients while being safe and non-toxic.
Taking all of the properties of sesame seeds, they have the highest fat content compared to the other edible seeds.
High Fiber Content: Of all the organisms in the animal kingdom, birds are notorious as the species with the weakest digestive system. Fiber provides roughage to ‘keep things moving’ and prevent gastrointestinal diseases. Only 10g of unhulled sesame seeds can provide up to 1.3 grams of fiber. That’s almost the average daily required intake of birds.
Reduces High Cholesterol Levels: Sesame seeds contain 15% saturated fat, 41% polyunsaturated fat, and 39% monounsaturated fat. Research has proven monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats increase HDL cholesterol (the healthy cholesterol). Sesame seeds also contain two types of plant compounds – lignans and phytosterols.
Beneficial Source of Plant Protein: Protein is a crucial building block responsible for muscle growth and DNA formation. Birds are prone to musculoskeletal diseases such as Angel Wings disease without protein. Hence, birds require a protein-centered diet to grow healthy muscle for efficient flying, which aids in their ability to scavenge food. Sesame seeds have high concentrations of methionine and cysteine, two essential amino acids your bird won’t have access to from their regular diet.
Alternative Source for Calcium: Calcium is the nutrient birds require most but faces a deficiency. Due to birds being lactose intolerant, dairy consumption is not advisable, which makes sesame seeds the perfect substitute.Calcium is a necessary micromineral required for maintaining bone health. A deficiency of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, wing paralyzation, and other musculoskeletal diseases.
Prevents Skin Diseases:Birds are more prone to skin infections during the preening season than we think. Hence, it’s important to keep up with their Vitamin E and manganese intake. Vitamin E is an essential antioxidant that increases skin cell turnover and prevents skin inflammation in birds. Manganese is a micromineral responsible for cell growth and curing feather cysts in birds.
If your bird struggles with skin infections, sesame seeds will come to its rescue because of the high concentration of manganese and vitamin E.
Good Source of B Vitamins: Sesame seeds contain three vital B vitamins. Containing vitamins B1, B6, and B3, sesame seeds are known as the seed with the highest concentration of a wide range of B vitamins.
B vitamins are crucial for digestion, eyesight, brain function, and appetite maintenance. If your bird struggles with mood disorders, don’t forget to check for vitamin B deficiencies.
