The ASM or The Art of Hand-Reared

The ASM itself is practiced by saw to tame fun (especially for the hooked beaks) but often also for birds such as canaries for which we have an obligation to practice because of the vagaries of life (small not fed by the parents or brood and surplus real difficulty for parents to feed all these people enough. We may use a ASM and avoid unnecessary losses.

Food for livestock are mainly Handmix Orlux from home to home and Nutribird A21 Versele-Laga, these preparations can bring food or supplement already given by the parents so as not easily see them die.


Many to this day, farmers hooked beaks (exposure to birds) that feed by hand, we get the birds and very tame.

Previously, we used all kinds of "compositions house", but the nutritional value of these mixtures was unknown and generally very unbalanced. Today, we can use products made scientifically, among other Handmix Nutribird and to raise young birds so simple.

Most breeders and amateurs as they must resign themselves to raise hand to prefer food with a syringe into the mouth. You can also use a syringe equipped with a sensor that allows a crop to inject directly into the crop. This technique requires some skill and experience on the part of the person practicing it. No addition is required in the use of these products, all the nutrients needed for optimal development are contained in the paste farms.

Indeed, these products contain lactobacilli and digestive enzymes. Lactobacilli are part of the natural flora of the crop of parents who send them when feeding their young. The presence of lactobacilli and digestive enzymes in the mash miracles promote the growth of small and especially digestion. Many breeders and it becomes routine for many of us control the evening all the young in the nest, they check if the small ruffles are filled for the night, if this is not the case for chicks with a low growth relative to other conspecifics, farmers are further so it is useful to have at home and in anticipation of death, these products on hand.
