DJ Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 hi, ive had my pigeons tested and need to treat for coccidiosis but have noticed that there is a price difference between easicox and coxoid do they both do the job or is one better then the other? i know that most fanciers treat for coccidiosis so can anyone advice which is the best treatment or reccomend an alternative? thank you debbie :-/
Guest Grasshopper Lofts Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 i would try and source some baycox its great stuff
holmsidelofts Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 i would try and source some baycox its great stuff 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.
REDCHEQHEN Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 On the Hyperdrug website - it says Easicox is best avoided during the moult
cemetary Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Baycox, is the best ave found, dont waste yer money on all different things, try and get it from someone.
Guest Freebird Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 baycox quick and reliable treatment where is this sourced. Thanx.
Wiley Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 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,
Guest Grasshopper Lofts Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 supposed to be vet only

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 Wiley
