Baycox the best on the market, £5 from your local vet to treat 50 birds. Appertex by harkers is also very good and performs very well,

I always use baycox.

jas.

i used to get mine oif Mike Ganus' website but they no longer stock it, but cocci isnt something my birds will only get once a year before breeding. I regular use a microscope, and have found that if you feed just 100% barley at certain periods your cocci, count is very low next to nothing, with cocci it will never be 100% eliminated it is something you should try and keep controlled by using some natural products, like specially formulated pigeon teas a good one is what clares products sell,

Thanks. That's what I like about this site, we can all learn from each others experiences. I've just got my birds eating whole barley for the first time and it's good to know it has an effect on the cocci count. It is also a good source of ruffage as can be seen in the droppings. My old birds will not touch it unless starved but this years youngsters seem to like it as they were introduced young. Thanks Wiley.

Barley is the most underated corn, many top fanciers swear by it, if offered it only, after a while your old birds will take it, it is also a good judgement to have in your mixes during racing, as its your birds least favourite corn, so when they've had there feel of food they will stop eating it the barley if you feed them little by little, whilst with other grains they will readily eat.

Cheers for now
