The Principle behind Hormoform

Hormoform is formulated to supplement the traditional mixture, meaning, for example that if a vitamin is recognised as being at a low level in the traditional mix, it will be included at a high level in Hormoform.

Over the years, the formulation of Hormoform has been adjusted to take advantage of the most recent research. These small but significant changes enable the fancier who used Hormoform to benefit from the latest developments in nutritional science, at the same time relying on a feeding system that has stood the test of time.

Most Recent Change

Most recently, the role of methionine in relation to feather quality has been identified. Feathers are made up of a protein called Keratin. This protein contains a large percentage of sulphur, an element that is mainly absorbed from the diet in the form of methionine (free sulphur cannot be absorbed and passes straight through the bird).
Methionine is an amino acid (from which proteins are made) and the bird is totally reliant on its presence in the feed.

Because of the importance of feather quality and the fact that traditional feed mixtures may be low in methionine, the most recent improvement to Hormoform has been to increase the level of methionine included in the mix. This means that birds fed Hormoform are unlikely to be deficient in methionine so feather quality will be optimised.
