Prevention is better than cure!

Vaccinate for PMV but more importantly allow the YB's to build a good strong natural imunity, don't clean them out until you are ready to start training them as thats were the imunity is gained from and any yb that goes off colour, don't pamper it, bin it!

phil you have hit the nail on the head...too many scrape up the 1st sign of a dropping, unless you are pitted against these illneses then you wont form a imune system to them.

you have to build the imunity thats in the loft.

Personaly I think its the best way Paul.

Also if i put any late breds in with older youngbirds they are weaned into a basket for 10days to build up imunity before going in with others. Then anything that goes back goes.

i believe to much medicines are very very bad because the immune system is being attacked and when it comes for the pigeons actually being sick it wont be able to handle the sickness!!  i hope i never have young bird sickness but natural live yogurt is supposed to be good for yb sickness! as yb sickness it all bacteria infections! eddie wright (RIP) used live yogurt on his birds and so as many other fanciers! so ill be using that next year

each to their own...but for me ...live yoghurt will not keep ybs from your birds.

although it will be ok to give after treatment.

 

you say you hope you never hope to have it...when you do, your change your mind about just leaving it up to yoghurt...trust me.

we clean out  twice a day during racing we don't chase birds round with scrapper and where does the idea not cleaning out

stops ybs or creates superior immune systems viruses are airborn as well  transmitted via other means ,apparently stress plays a major part in ybs does'nt it?
