Thaks The only insects that i can see around the loft are ANTS. Yes i do burn the loft! Skull

100% right Tony, thats what i am saying. Its out of my own experiance! 8)

Thanks Tony I can assure you that Mebendazole takes care of tapeworms! Ive never seen tapeworms in pigeons until this year when i treated them with Mebendazole. Skull

Youre right, ive posted during our racing season about tapeworms that came out of my racers after i dewormed them with Mebendazole. I noticed eggs in my younbirds droppings and did the whole lot, old racers and 4month old youngsters, again with Mebendazole! The old racers were clean. In the youngsters loft the perches and floor was covered with Tapeworms! My stockbirds ive never treated for anything, no meds, no deworming, nothing. As the old racers were clean i think the problem lies by the stockbirds. They are the ones that infect the rest! Unfortunately they are stil rearing young so i will wait until the youngsters are weaned and then do them aswell. Maybe this would solve my problem? My original question hasnt been answered as to the effect the Mebendazole wil have on the flights of the youngsters which they are bussy casting? Thanks Skull

could you see worms that came out?

Ive used it twice already and it didnt work, the Moxidectin! Yesterday i used Mebendazole as i found worm eggs in the droppings and plenty tapeworms were covering the lofts floor. ;D ;D As these birds are youngsters of around 4months of age i would like to know if their moult would be efected by the Mebendazole? Skull

It is esential!!!

Hi all Can one use the above dewormer during the moult? Please elaborate on your answer! Skull

Sorry, the Yellow colour didn't work, but its: Carbo - 20.08 Skull

I forgot to give the breakdown of the mentioned DIET MIX: Raw Fat Raw Digestible Protein Protein Carbo. K. Cal Fiber 36.95 21.65 12.99 20.08 4626 7.88 Skull

Use a standard racing mix which is fed morning and evening thats got not to much Proteins, Carbohydrates nor Fats. At lunch-time feed them a DIET MIX Consisting of 10% Peanuts, 10% Hemp, 20% Rape and 60% Flax. Morning and Evening as much as they like! LUNCH-TIME, 5gr per bird, nothing more and nothing less! The Diet Mi'xes OMEGA 3 AND 6 PERSENTAGES are 1 to 1, thats what you want! Skull

Hi all Wil the above be beneficial to pigeons? Skull

Frosen is what works for me!

Thanks to every one who gave input, ill see what happens this week! Skull

I have used Chlortetracycline only for 5 days as stated on the container, should i repeat for another 5 days?

Hi all I have got one bird that has permanently a watery discharge coming from her right eye. (when facing towards me.) I have used respiratory meds and eye drops, but without any succes. When i administer the eye drops, she looks OK for 2 days but then it starts again. Any advice would be appreciated! Skull

nothing to worry about, its only part of the dropping hanging loose.

Sounds more like YBD to me. Give Probiotics, Electrolytes and Vits in water with no feed for 3 days. Then start feeding it again with only small seeds for a week. Skull

This is what i use Pulvex Pour On Large dogs 30ml, to 10L water. Its composition is: Chlorpyrifos and Permethrin. U can even put drops undiluted on your bird, i do this once a year and there are no lice or flies to be seen! Skull

Its verry good, and even better when combined with Medizole! Skull

Hi all What your verdict on the following? Candida Yeast Fungal Infections and Grapefruit Seed Extract By Allan Sachs D.C., C.C.N. Many holistic physicians, myself included, consider candida albicans one of the greatest health challenges to people of the industrialized nations. The antifungal properties of grapefruit seed extract have made it an important part of successful anti-candida programs-a fact, which has linked the names candida and grapefruit seed extract. Allan Sachs D.C., C.C.N. By Dr. Leo Galland There's something unique about this particular substance (grapefruit seed extract). Whatever it does, it does without the debilitating side effects. It has the advantage of being very safe. In the treatment of candidiasis it appears as effective as nystatin, caprylic acid, and other non-absorbed intestinal antifungal agents. Many drug sensitive individuals find GSE to be much better tolerated than other antifungal preparations, and I have several patients in whom this product alone helped control chronic candidiasis when no other medication was tolerated or effective. Dr. Leo Galland has prescribed grapefruit seed extract for the past seven years and has published various reports about its effects on candida. Grapefruit extract is the method of choice of naturopathic physicians in controlling fungus infections. "It would be hard to overstate the value of GSE to my medical practice. It has no inherent toxicity. Dr. Galland considers the availability of grapefruit seed extract to be "...a major therapeutic breakthrough for patients with chronic parasitic and yeast infections..." Dr. Galland reports treatment failures in only two cases out of 297. Dr. David Bayley, N.D. North Vancouver, BC. It is easier to modulate the dose than other anti-yeast products, as there is no bad after-taste. The liquid Citricidal is excellent for administering to babies and children. According to worldwide feedback from numerous clinics, medical practitioners and thousands of their patients. Chronic candidiasis (both intestinal and systemic) is being treated with excellent results using grapefruit seed extract. Without the harmful side effects of other medications. As an additional bonus grapefruit seed extract can detoxify the system simultaneously from other fungi, bacteria and parasites that often accompany candida. One of the most important applications for grapefruit seed extract is in the support and protection of individuals with chronic immune system problems (AIDS, Chronic Fatigue, and Candida patients). Why Grapefruit Seed Extract? After 25 years in use by naturopathic physicians, clinics and the general public grapefruit seed extract has been proven to be a safe and effective multipurpose (broad spectrum) compound with countless uses. Grapefruit seed extract is being used successfully in humans and animals alike to fight many types of internal and external infections caused from parasites (single and multi-celled), viruses, bacteria, fungal infections and more! The greatest benefit is due to it's multipurpose (broad spectrum) effect. It is effective even if the causes of the infections are known, unknown or misdiagnosed. By eliminating a wide range of dangerous pathogens grapefruit seed extract naturally enhances and supports the immune system. Grapefruit seed extract is effective at very low concentrations. During 1989-90, an international research team (reported in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Volume 5, No. 3, USA, 1990) examined the effects of GSE and compared this with 30 effective antibiotics and 18 proven fungicides. GSE was found to perform as well as any and all of the tested agents. Without the harsh side effects. Grapefruit seed extract is nontoxic. According to an independent laboratory testing "Acute Oral Toxicity", it would take at least 4,000 times the normal dose of gse to produce a 50% chance of poisoning (called LD50). Because grapefruit seed extract does not exhibit the harsh side effects and high cost of pharmaceuticals it is becoming the alternative health choice for naturopathic physicians, clinics and the public in general. Physicians have observed that the herpes simplex virus becomes inactive just ten minutes after the application of grapefruit seed extract. Skull

Have any one fed their birds (fish pellets) which is actually food for fish? I have noticed that the ingredients and composition looks super.
