Better than Colombavac

[JSTOON]

I dont know if members have been struggling along with myself in obtaining the Colombavac vaccine, but it would appear that the vaccine is not been sent into the country until the new year, due to a fault on the top/ sealing of bottles. Id rather not use the Nobivac vaccine, i have when injecting peoples birds in the past, experienced difficulties with the vaccine solidifying. Having done some research, i have  found a substitute vaccine Chevivac p200, which can be ordered online from Pigeonracingmeds. I recently ordered some for myself and members of our club, which was delivered some 9 days later, and now all the birds have been vaccinated, and i can say the vaccine was spot on. Heres the great thing, the vaccine was £24-61 for 200 doses, thats a saving compared with Colombavac vaccine for the same amount of £32-00, food for thought. ;D ;D

  if you order 200ml mark i will go halves with you, as i think in the new year any vaccine will be hard to get hold off.

Unable to get the link onto my screen, im no computer buff, the site is www.pigeonracingmeds.com, a lot of the products they sell are all cheaper than what we have to pay over here.

Does the vaccine come with a batch number?

I've always used Nobivac and never encountered a single problem with birds or vaccine itself so why are you so against it? I know it is oil bassed and can't be used with the colombovac gun but to me thats a good thing as some think they are on an Army assult mission with that in their hands, brutal to say the least!

[Roland]

Often used Nobivac, but mostly colombovac. Times seems that I have had what a club  uses at the time as they inject mine - not a member of their club though - as they get a better price the more they buy.

Must say that it is nice to see the 'Sites' put up too as they may well be more than useful... never used them two of course.

[TERRY JOHNSON]

[Guest anto]

[JSTOON]

Yes it does say 100 doses, thats what i thought. What it actually means is 2 x 100 doses, thats what keeps coming anyway ;D ;D

Hi

 

Looks a good deal that. Just thinking would this vaccine be licenced to be used in the UK under Defra regulations ? not Knocking the vaccine as i am sure its very good and to us pigeon folk a very good price as if this was put in the fancy press surely it would blow colombovac out of the competition any views on this?

Thats why I asked if it came with a batch number Jeremy as we have to enter that on our vaccination certificate

[jimmy white]

yes , your quite right jstoon, my avian vet had spent time in trying to get this columbo vac ,, but came up with the same answer as your good self nobi-vac , they can supply easily and quickly   they had advised me that if buying any columbo- vac , to check for , sell by date , as it hasnt been produced in this country now, for some time  

[Jeremy]

A batch number does not mean it has a licence to use in the UK i thought at the moment there are only 2 you can use in the uk Colombovac and Nobivac ? As over here you need a licence to crap lol.

[jimmy white]

nobilis  i have is [in-activated]  2009,, 01,  31 batch no, a449b01

 

bin ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,,pocket money ,, new vaccination needed ;D ;D ;D

[Guest IB]

There are only 2 PMV-1 Vaccines licensed for use in the UK - Colombovac and Nobilis. If you haven't used them, then you haven't vaccinated your birds, AND you've wasted your money.

[JSTOON]

Thanks IB, i will check with Defra today. If this is the case, then yet again we are held to ransom, and it looks like the stock birds will at least be vaccinated for the next few years 16p per jab cheaper. I will update the post when ive made contact with Defra, heres hoping :-/ :-/ :-/

[Guest IB]

Veterinary Medicines Directorate website shows only 2 PMV vaccines authorised. Doesn't appear to be an easy way of searching list, I'd to scroll down looking for PMV:-

 

http://www.vmd.gov.uk/ProductInfo/AuthMed/categories.htm

 

SHU vaccination certificate (as others do but using different wording) states Note: vaccination must be carried out strictly in accordance with manufacturers instructions issued with the vaccine which must be Ministry Licensed Vaccine for pigeons.

 

I'm really surprised a vet didn't know that.

[JSTOON]

Well ive not actually managed to get an answer from Defra as yet, but i have spoken to a vet regarding the matter, who was now under the impression that aslong as its a registered vaccine ie it has a batch number and validaty date then that was accepted. Ive checked the vaccine and all have a batch number with the bottles. The rpra rules regarding vaccination only stipulates that they must be vaccinated against Paramyxo which again is governed by our beloved Defra. I will update when i have confirmation, simon
