[mac1]

[Guest shadow]

[mac1]

thanks shadow

[Guest TAMMY_1]

, ONE IS OIL BASED AND ONE IS WATER BASED , BOTH DO THE SAME JOB THOUGH,

[NANCYVIEWLOFTS]

yes nobivac is oil based and colombovac is water based

i have used both and found colombovac the easiest to administrate

nobivac seems thicker and can leave a oily mark on the neck if not given properley just my view

DO YOU STILL HAVE TO STORE NOBIVAC IN THE FRIDGE

[Guest shadow]

Should store both vaccines in the fridge then take them out 24hrs before using them

[Guest TAMMY_1]

yes nobivac is oil based and colombovac is water based

i have used both and found colombovac the easiest to administrate

nobivac seems thicker and can leave a oily mark on the neck if not given properley just my view

 

everybody in our club uses nobivac and we administer it using an auto injector gun and never had a single problem having vaccinated tthousands of birds

TAM DO YOU STERILZE  THE NEEDLE AFTER EACH BIRD OR JUST KEEP USING IT

[Guest shadow]

I always sterilized the needle between each bird just my preferance

[NANCYVIEWLOFTS]

[Keepsmilingqueen]

It's about 2 weeks away from racing ours start 14 april i have not yet had my birds injected. The last of my eggs hatched out today do i need to have all loft done together  ( or can i leave some out)  , can they be done while sitting, feeding young  (if so how old should the young be)  thanks all

[Guest]

Do your old birds as soon as possible as they need about 14 days before mixing with other birds.

 

Young birds are minimum age 3 weeks (I've never done them at that age yet) to 14 days before training, so you've plenty time there.

[madmaxlofts]

do all your old birds staight away

youve got plenty ov time to do all the young together

as bruno qupted

[Guest]

I do my YB's at 6 weeks,always do it.I have a friend who several years ago lost a whole team to PMV and it broke her heart,it's not worth the risk.I use columbavac PMV

[speedbird]

wow she lost  the whole team didnt realise that pmv was still around i get my last 2ybs next weekend and will be injected shortly after ive known some to inject in the nest i think louella do this too

[Guest]

I think it will be easier to do the youngsters coming out of the nest, but I'm not convinced that this is the best time, or that there is a best time to vaccinate youngsters???

[ALF]

vaccinate them within a week of moving them ;)i try to do this all the time then you have no need to worry

[gangster]

i also like to vaccinate early to get it over with.................

[likklegriz]

THANKS GENTS AND LADIES FOR ALL THE HELP ON THIS ONE 8) ;D

[jordanp31]

I have heard people talking about vaccinating yb's. Is this a must for all racing birds and does it involve an injection or tablet? What is the price per bird if you do it yourself... :-/

[jordanp31]

also... is there one product that can treat for most things ???

[Guest]

Compulsory for racing & showing that you vaccinate all your racers once per year against paramyxo virus [PMV].

 

Vaccine costs around £18 and is enough to do 50 birds.
