Live Yoghurt

[sapper756]

I have listened to quite a few "old/experienced" fanciers talk about giving their birds Live Yoghurt, what kind is the best, and what does it do for the birds?

 

is it given via the drinker or mixed in with the feeding?http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0126-nerd.gif

Better on the feed ,Just put a Tablespoonful on mix to coat it then leave it to dry off n feed tomoro or you could also add brewers yeast to dry it off a bit

i use actamell on the corn leave it soak in put sprinkle pink minerals on it just to dry it off great stuff fair play i have used the natrual greek yogurt also great stuff use same as actamell

[OLDYELLOW]

the point in giving the yoghurt is the live cultures there very similar to the cultures in a healthy gut so lets call these good bacteria , so the best time to feed is whilst still wet !!!!!!

When I used live yoghurt in the past, I made up enough grub for one feed for all the birds, then spooned 2 or 3 tablespoons of live yoghurt into the corn, mixed it in, then fed it straight away. It makes a mess of the feeder, so after they'd finished I'd remove it and clean it. I also fed it on 3 consecutive days once per month, I found feeding it any more than that, the droppings would become loose.
