[THE FIFER]

TIP 1
VACCINATION

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.

NOTE
Always 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.

NOTE
If 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.
