Vetrina Setgut Exotic Probiotic, Prebiotic & Enzyme Gut Health Powder for Birds, Turtles & Exotic Pets (50g)

Vetrina Setgut Exotic is a veterinary probiotic-prebiotic-enzyme synbiotic gut health powder formulated for exotic birds, turtles, and other exotic pets. Each gram delivers 25 million CFU of live lactic acid-producing bacteria across four complementary probiotic strains, combined with prebiotics (10mg/g) and a digestive enzyme complex (20mg/g). Setgut Exotic supports optimal crop and intestinal microflora balance, digestion, nutrient absorption, and immunity — particularly during and after antibiotic therapy, breeding seasons, weaning, dietary transitions, and stress-related gut disruption.

Composition (per gram)

• Total Live Viable Lactic Acid-Producing Bacteria — 25 million CFU (Bifidobacterium bifidus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus fermentum): Multi-strain probiotic blend; live bacteria colonise the avian crop and intestinal tract, competitively excluding pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter) from mucosal adhesion sites; produce lactic acid and organic acids, lowering intestinal pH and inhibiting acid-sensitive enteropathogens; stimulate intestinal mucosal IgA secretion and macrophage activation; produce bacteriocins with direct antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria; support microflora restoration after antibiotic-induced dysbiosis.
  • Bifidobacterium bifidus: Ferments prebiotics to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs — acetate, propionate, butyrate); butyrate is the primary energy source for colonocytes and supports intestinal epithelial barrier integrity; stimulates IgA production; critical for immune development in young and weaning birds
  • Lactobacillus acidophilus: Produces lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins; strong mucosal adhesion in avian intestinal epithelium; well-established competitive exclusion activity against Salmonella; reduces intestinal permeability and supports tight junction integrity
  • Lactobacillus casei: Broad intestinal pH tolerance; immunomodulatory — stimulates macrophage and natural killer (NK) cell activity; supports microflora diversity recovery after antibiotic-induced dysbiosis; effective during dietary change and nutritional stress
  • Lactobacillus fermentum: Antioxidant via reduction of intestinal oxidative stress; bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity modulating bile acid metabolism; contributes to colonisation resistance against enteric pathogens
• Prebiotics — 10mg per gram: Non-digestible oligosaccharides (likely FOS or MOS — confirm from product label); selectively stimulate growth of the probiotic strains above; act as fermentation substrates for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus; MOS additionally binds and agglutinates mannose-binding fimbriated enteropathogens (Salmonella, E. coli), preventing mucosal attachment; synbiotic (probiotic + prebiotic) activity enhances overall gut microbiome restoration efficacy
• Enzyme Complex — 20mg per gram: Digestive enzyme blend (likely protease, amylase, cellulase, lipase — confirm from product label); protease facilitates protein digestion and amino acid absorption; amylase supports starch digestion for granivorous birds; cellulase assists breakdown of plant cell wall components for omnivorous and herbivorous species and turtles; lipase supports fat digestion and fat-soluble vitamin absorption; enzyme supplementation compensates for reduced endogenous digestive enzyme activity during illness, stress, antibiotic therapy, and in young/weaning birds

Therapeutic Class

• Veterinary probiotic-prebiotic-enzyme synbiotic gut health powder — exotic birds, turtles, and exotic pets — intestinal microflora restoration, digestion support, nutrient absorption, and immunity

Indications

• Post-antibiotic gut microflora restoration — restoring depleted crop and intestinal microbiota after antibiotic therapy (enrofloxacin, doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole); administer for 5–20 days post-antibiotic course
• Bird indigestion and digestive disorders — crop stasis, malabsorption, loose droppings associated with gut dysbiosis or dietary stress
• Breeding season support — enhanced nutrient retention and gut efficiency during breeding
• Weaning and juvenile bird support — gut microbiome establishment and digestive enzyme support in young birds; administer 3–4 times per week
• Dietary transition and stress-related gut disruption — during feed change, new environment, transport, or flock introduction
• Routine preventive gut health maintenance for captive exotic birds, breeding pairs, and turtles

Target Species

• Exotic birds — parrots (Macaws, African Grey, Amazon, Eclectus, Cockatoo), parakeets (Budgerigars, Alexandrines), cockatiels, lovebirds, finches (Zebra Finch, Gouldian Finch), canaries, mynas, softbills
• Turtles and tortoises (freshwater and terrestrial species)
• Other exotic pets — as advised by a veterinarian

Dosage & Administration

• 1 gram (1 scoop) sprinkled over food daily — do not mix with water
• Discard uneaten food after 6 hours to maintain probiotic viability
• Post-antibiotic therapy: 5–20 days continuous daily use
• Young birds after weaning: 3–4 times per week
• Or as recommended by a veterinarian

Safety Information

• Store in a cool, dry place; reseal tightly after each use — heat, moisture, and air exposure reduce live CFU viability
• Do not use if product has an off-odour or has been exposed to moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
