THE FIFER Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 This is a great book for any fancier,I got mine from the pigeonbasics stand at Blackpool a couple of years ago, and still read it many times, and have permission to post some of the many useful tips from it, for the benefit of site members and any interested fancier can go to the editors website http://www.pigeonbooks.com
THE FIFER Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 TIP 1VACCINATION Very Important Vaccinate ALL your pigeons,not only the racers,but also the breeders and the widowhood hens! What can be given and what cannot From 3 weeks old>> Paramyxo YES. Pox NO. Paratyphoid NO. From 6 weeks old>>Paramyxo YES. Pox YES. Paratyphoid YES always follow the manufactures advice. NOTEAlways store vaccines in a refrigerator at a temperature of 2-8 C 36-46 F. Heat or excessive cold (freezing) ruins them within a short time. NOTEIf the immune system of a body is under stress,the protection produced by the vaccination will be lower. NOTE The protection provided by vaccines will never be 100%. This should remind us that while specific vaccination is essential,just on its own-without continuous prevention of epidemics and the necessary hygiene -it is not enough to protect our pigeons. http://www.pigeonbooks.com
