Read this on the WHPU web site was wondering if this applies to the RPRA and SHU anyone know,

Due to Colombovac Pmv being out of stock with Pfizer,A water soluble alternative Belga-Vac Pmv 50 dose has been authorised by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate for use in pigeons.

THERE HAS BEEN A SHORTAGE OF COLOMBOVAC AROUND THIS TIME EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS I MADE SURE THAT WAS THE 1ST THING I BOUGHT AT BLACKPOOL AS I LIKE TO VACCINATE ALL MY YB'S AS THEY ARE COMING OUT THE NEST..

There's nothing on the VMD, or the SHU websites on this. I think it unusual as ALF says, Colombovac supply has been a problem now for several years, and folks have just switched to Nobilis if need be. My guess is that it is a special dispensation for Wales given racing is suspended there just now due to an outbreak of something? brought in from the continent. Just a guess tho.

Guessed wrong. :wacko:

 

Just picked up this in BHW April 12th issue, page 10 'View from Reddings' 1st para : Ladies & gents a series of short updates ...

 

1. Vaccinate your pigeons. Alternative vaccines are now available to overcome the recent shortages.

 

Apologies to / well done the Welsh Homing Union for getting that information on their website in a meaningful and very informative way.

Was it only me or did others miss read it,it says a water soluble vaccine,I thought it meant you could put it in the water but apparently not,it is infact a water based vaccine the same as Colombovac. ;):emoticon-0127-lipssealed:;)

I seem to have spent years injecting animals, we farmed sheep then the pigeons of course and we've had two diabetic dogs, that I can handle but there's a disease in cattle (New Forest Eye ) where they inject direct into the eye-ball, one of my sons has done quite a few, but it makes your eyes water thinking about that one
