REDCHEQHEN Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 we have rules to be adhered to - as a racing organisation vaccination sheets to be in the hands of the fed secretary by March 1st - otherwise you can't race for 3 weeks from the date in which the fed secretary gets your sheets so birds HAVE to be vaccinated before March 1st (old birds) For young birds it is June 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushroom Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I usually give a 5 day canker treatment as I feel a one day course is not sufficient, I do not jag within 14 days either side of any treatment just in case the treatment has any effect on the vaccine and the birds are always separated whilst treating and jagging.

andy Burgess Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 any more views ,is it safe to treat for canker now yes or no ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 the danger of treating for canker when on young is overdosing as birds will drink more water best not to treat wait till back on eggs or young weaned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulkie Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Andy see what it says on the tin I have treated them in the past with no side effectsif its tablet form I cant see overdosing either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I personally would not vaccinate old birds when they're feeding youngsters - unless the young birds are old enough to be vaccinated at the same time isn't there something about not mixing unvaccinated birds with vaccinated birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
