strepticoccus bovis is certainly doing the rounds in yb,s this year...most fanciers will confuse it as youngbird sickness.

if you have youngbird sickness charcoal will not cure the e coli thats most probably killing the youngbirds.

just like cider vinegar etc wont cure it.

anti biotics used correctly will get rid of the e coli,but by then if left too long to treat them ,some will be so weak that no anti biotics will help them and only 1 thing left for them.

 

remember prevention is better and cheaper then a cure!

 

 

about charcoal !

 

granular charcoal (GAC48C) mix a ratio of 1 scoop of charcoal to 5 scoops of regular grit and just have it there for them every day. their general health is better – better droppings and better feather quality.

 

There is some anecdotal reports of charcoal adsorbing man-made supplements. However, numerous animal studies have shown that daily consumption of charcoal not only poses no threat but actually can extend the lifespan, increase milk and egg productivity in cows and chickens, and improve the feed to weight ratio (a far cry from compromising the overall nutrition). For this reason charcoal is used as a daily livestock supplement in parts of Europe and Asia.

 

 

more interesting facts about charcoal..may interest barbecue users.

 

The concern about charcoal being carcinogenic stems from its connection to barbequing. This is the connection: When the fat from barbequed meat, poultry, or fish, drips onto the super hot coals it vaporizes. Because of the intense heat the vaporized fat is chemically changed into benzopyrenes which are extremely carcinogenic. These compounds project onto and potentially contaminate the meat. But the formation of these chemicals is dependant on the heat not the source of heat. In actual fact, charcoal adsorbs cancer-producing agents such as methylcholanthrene and benzopyrene, which, when free on the skin, are capable of producing skin cancer.

Does anybody use Adenosan on the corn?

How do you miss the symptoms early too the stage where ybs are dying????

Surely the droppings and behaviour would tell you there was a prob long before they were untreatable?

[Henrik]

You should be able to buy Granular Charcoal from an Aquarium shop as its used in fish tank filters. Hope this helps

[just ask me]

you can get charcoal tabs in most chemists for very cheap

[greenlands]

Versele-Laga redstone grit has charcoal in it.

 

Crush some houshold coal and put it in a pot in the loft,Not anthresite it's too hard.

Once a week I get a normal lump of lumpwood charcoal for a BBQ.

 

Put it on the loft floor then stamp on it.
