Charnwood Marine Waterfowl & Swan Feed – Premium Floating Duck & Swan Food (8mm Pellets)

Charnwood Marine Waterfowl & Swan Feed is a premium floating pellet specially formulated to provide complete nutrition for ducks, geese, swans and other waterfowl. Unlike bread, which provides very little nutritional value and can contribute to health problems, this professionally balanced feed supplies everything waterfowl need to remain healthy throughout the year.

Made with generous levels of high-quality LT Fish Meal and Prawn (Shrimp) Meal, this specialist formula closely replicates the natural diet of aquatic birds, which would normally feed on molluscs, crustaceans, insects and other aquatic organisms. The result is a highly digestible, protein-rich feed that supports healthy growth, strong muscles, beautiful plumage and successful breeding.

The 8mm floating discs remain on the water surface, allowing ducks, geese and swans to feed naturally while helping to reduce waste and water contamination.

Why Feed Waterfowl a Specialist Diet?

Many people feed bread to ducks and swans, but bread contains very few of the nutrients needed for healthy birds. Regular feeding with bread can contribute to poor feather development, nutritional deficiencies and pollution of lakes and ponds.

Charnwood Marine Waterfowl Feed provides a complete, balanced diet that supports healthy growth, breeding success and long-term wellbeing while encouraging natural feeding behaviour.
