Hello Tom regarding you said the spirilina will be ideal to give. the daily dose for humans is 1 teaspoon so is 1/4 teaspoon enough as I'm giving 400/500gr meat will I still need to give calci-d )& regarding the salka-lite you recommended once a day & still give calci-d aswell . Donnie .

Donnie . Hi Donnie, While spirulina is high in calcium it does not contain enough calcium to supplement the meat you are feeding, so yes adding the calci-d is still best. As far as the quantity of spirulina is concerned, adding a 1/4 teaspoon to the diet should be enough to give you some of the benefits without causing the problems that overdosing with supplements can cause. Anyway going by the once only that I tasted spirulina, I can tell you it tasted terrible to me and adding too much may put a fussy eater off their food. Cheers, Tom

Hi Mark,
In regard to a calcium supplement you can either use Calci D powder which besides calcium also contains added vit D and vit A or use DIcalcium Phosphate (DCP) and add a teaspoonful of Codliver oil to the diet as well in order to obtain the required vitamin D.
Cheers, Tom
