SBT101 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Just wondering on breeders opinions on whether Troy Vitamin supplement and Nutrigel are the same. I know that we can not get Nutrigel locally and have to go on line for it, which isn't a hassel, but thought I would ask as I do know that the Troy Vitamin Supplement is readily available locally. Thankyou for your responses in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Troy Nutri Pet Supplement Composition Contains Vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, Nicotinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, Folic Acid, Iron, Manganese, Magnesium and Iodine in a palatable base consisting of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, providing approximately 1500 kilojoules of metabolizable energy per 100g. Nutrigel COMPOSITION PER 100 GRAMS: Vitamin A 15,650iu; Vitamin D3 900iu; Vitamin E 83iu; Thiamine HCl (B1) 28.3iu; Riboflavin (B2) 3.3mg; Pyridoxine (B12) 13.3mg; Cyanocobalamin (B12)31.7mcg; Nicotinamide 31.7mg; Calcium Pantothenate17.2mg; Folic Acid 3.3mg; Iron 7.8mg; Iodine 8.3mg; Manganese 16.7mg; Magnesium 6.3mg TYPICAL NUTRITIONAL VALUE Crude Fat 35.0%; Crude Protein 1.3%; Carbohydrates 45.7%; Energy per 100g 1351kJ 323kCal They look roughly the same although the Troy appears to be higher in calories but I do prefer how the Nutrigel breaks down the composition more in the description. ie, you can see how much of exactly which type of B12 etc are in it. It can be difficult to get the Nutrigel here too but I do prefer to have it on hand. Old habits die hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT101 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Me too Ellz. I have only got 1 of them so do need to stock shortly. And the girls have gone right off food. So I tried them with a little Nutrigel on my finger and yep, they loved it and then went on to eat a meal of cooked chicken Just thought I would ask but even though they are relatively the same, think I will stick with the good old Nutrigel. Thanks Ellz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT101 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 And I have to admit, the Nutrigel smells good enough to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
