i use vitminized brewers yeast and yoghurt   never used strike i like the yoghurt and brewers yeast tho probably the best source of vitamins for the birds

[just ask me]

just be careful with your wording brewers yeast is not a probiotic just so u don't get mixed up natural yogurt and other probiotics are useful to use all year round and after a the use of antibiotics  brewers yeast can be used all year round too but not after antibiotics as the yeast level in birds naturally goes to a high level after the use of antibiotics so brewers yeast shouldn't be used after the use of most medications

What evidence do we have that pigeons can digest cow's milk or it's derivatives? I have my doubts about the value of anything that is ex-cow. It's much the same with humans. Bovine products are nowhere near as good as people once thought.

I think that there are better ways of looking after the health of birds.

Put a couple of spoonfuls of cows milk in your drinker and see how white and glowing your birds eggs are!

Would you not kill all the good bacteria in the yogurt when you added it to the boiling water?

what does this do

[Heinz-57]

this makes the feather feel like silk lots of bloom plus the protien helps the build up of the bird

[Roland]

Well do as you feel you must, but in reality there just can't be a jot of any good for them.

But people think there is, swear by it etc. so go ahead and but Yalkut, that or Beni.... Won't do them much harm, but will make you, and thoses using it feel better, so that isthe bonus.

Have posted before, and everyone to their own Quoted from a world renowned Vet, and pigeon fancier '.................

Roly:  Yoghurt as a probiotic for pigeons - it's my understanding that the organisms in yoghurt are meant for the human digestive tract, and as such, they don't colonise the intestines of pigeons very well.  The second point is that, according to a human pediatric gastro-enterologist whose seminar I attended not long ago, 90% of the organisms (if not ALL) in commercial yoghurt are dead when the product is purchased.  So the product would not appear to be as useful for the digestive tract of either humans or pigeons as we'd like to think.  (Home-made yoghurt might be an viable alternative.

Preparation kits are often available in specialty shops and may reduce costs  substantially.) This specialist recommended (for humans) to purchase acidophilus capsules from the refrigerator case in food or specialty stores, and NOT to buy the same product sitting on a shelf at room temperature. For pigeons, I think an avian-source probiotic would be best.  Have you ever tried FlightPath?  Let me know what you think of it etc. etc.

So pay your money and take uyour choice.
