Who Treats For Worms?

[buster151]

When the season is over I leave treatments alone until I want to prepare the old birds for breeding. I then test the droppings and the swabs and treat for what I have found.

This morning I decided to get some practise with a new miroscope so collected up droppings and tested them. Cocci everywhere. Big nasty devils and I think I saw one bare his teeth at me. So it will be Baycox next week. If I had found a small amount of cocci I would'nt have bothered because a small amount helps to develop the bird's immune system but this is beyond a joke. I thought I might find some worm eggs but there were none to be seen. I will test the this year's youngsters tomorrow to see what is happening there.

silly question, but how do you know what to look for? and what it is

Just used the Deweerdt Belgawormac put it in the water today. They are a reputable company and I bought it so I've decided to try it.

my birds are all show birds and are kept in,i still worm my birds before pairing up,someone told me that slugs which can get to the loft can carry worms and all sorts of nasty diseases.on the other hand i prefere to let the birds immune system cope with most things but before breeding i like to treat my birds.havent used horse wormer so cannot comment on that.garlic in the water tends to keep nasties at bay but weekly health checks keeps my mind at ease.treatment for worms,cocci and canker thats it then pmv after the breeding season.

What wormer are you using?

[blue bar]

just done mine with Equest plus tape half a tube in a cup of warm water and mixed with the wifes cake mixer then added to water to make up 15 litres gave to birds for 48 hours worms soon came out

[Guest robscott]

im worming my team at the moment,harkers wormer(liquid 1 cap full per 2 litres for 3 days).i only worm once per year,if you got grass lawn infront of your loft its advisable not to let pigeons pick on the grass,take notice when you go to top loft most of the lofts are flagged (no grass).

[plumber]

Having read this post where some recommended Quest I went to a horse feed supplier today, they only had Equest. Is EQUEST the same as QUEST? (it says on the tube moxidectin)

[just ask me]

get cydectin in any farmers shop buy it between your club it works out cheap and easy to use
