Frequently Asked Questions about FlockShield

• What is FlockShield and how does it keep my flock healthy?

  FlockShield is Nutrena’s proprietary blend of functional ingredients included in all NatureWise complete poultry feeds and treats. It’s designed to support a strong immune system by working inside the bird’s gut—where more than 60% of the bird’s immune defenses are found.

• Why is gut health so important for a bird’s immune system?

  A bird’s gut does far more than digest food—it houses a majority of the immune system. When the gut is strong, nutrients are absorbed more efficiently, and the bird is better equipped to respond to stress, environmental changes, and everyday challenges.

  FlockShield focuses specifically on strengthening the gut, creating a solid foundation for immune support and overall well-being.

• How does FlockShield support immune strength, digestion, and nutrient absorption?

  FlockShield combines prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics that work together to promote a balanced digestive environment.
  This helps:

  • Maintain a strong and healthy gut
  • Enhance nutrient breakdown and absorption
  • Support everyday immune performance
  • Optimize overall flock health and productivity

• What improvements can I expect to see when feeding NatureWise with FlockShield?

  Bird owners may notice:

  • Better digestion and feed utilization
  • Improved nutrient absorption
  • Greater resilience during stress (heat, cold, flock changes, weather shifts)
  • Enhanced overall immune strength
  • A healthier, more vibrant flock

  FlockShield works continuously behind the scenes to help your birds feel and perform their best.
