THE FIFER Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 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 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 TIP 1 If the number of infertile eggs in your loft suddenly rises and/or the pigeons reject the feed,you can begin to suspect fungal toxicosis. TIP 2 You should not use enrofloxacin, gentamycin, metronidazone and ivermectin in the breeding season.These drugs can increase the infertility of eggs
THE FIFER Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 TIP 3CALCIUM A lot of calcium is necessary for the development of eggshells and this macro element is necessary for muscle activity,too.The musculature of the oviduct needs calcium to push the egg down.Calcium deficiency causes abnormal eggshells and/or weakness of the oviduct; the outcome is egg retention.
victorious Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 problem easily solved by using layers pellets there very high in calcium they have to be for comercial egg layers.
