  1. Virkon and Virkon S are used aginst disease during outbreaks of foot and mouth, etc. That is what is put in the foot-baths to prevent the spread via feet. I imagine they also spray the overalls or perhaps they burn them if paper ones are used.
  2. None that I know of.
  3. Virkon S sprayed on the loft should keep down moulds and spores during the damp season when they proliferate. In the drinking water, I know some do not advocate this, it kills all bacteria in the gut and therefore probiotics and prebiotics are required to reline the gut. I suppose the theory is to kill off the bad bugs and prevent disease, then start again. Some do this on a weekly regime when racing.

  6. Well done Andrew.
  7. Derek, I've not seen many flies about as yet, so I very much doubt the permithrin has had time to have an effect. Perhaps the YBS stays dormant in the loft. It may be you require a year to let the test "bed in", just a guess.
  8. Good morning all.
  9. Should be ready to move around 3 or 4 weeks old, but make sure they are picking from the pot in the nestbox.
