Paratyphoid

[ForestForever74]

Had a great time in Blackpool and was lucky enough to meet and chat with fanciers from all over the country and one of the main topics of conversation with all those different people was Paratyphoid.

 

The general consensus was that most lofts carry the disease without showing any symptoms. A very prominent fancier from the NW was adamant that the outcome of races were determind on how the disease was controlled by each individual fancier and would have a baring on wether they would pick up prizes or not, more so than the ability of the pigeon.

 

What are members thoughts on this subject and to what levels do you think the problem has reached in your local area and nationally?

 

Cheers

well have been to a moot were alan darragh give a talk on it and he said he treats his,but as far as i know in my area club etc it is unheard of,also heard it can make cocks unfertile ,my own thoughts are leave well alone as i know ill never be treating,also alan blamed the imported pigeons coming in from the continent but how come the town pigeons dont get wiped out by this,do they become immune,nobody treats them,i really think we should be looking elsewere for so many losses, darkness maybe one of them,asking to much from a babys head on a adult body.

Where are you from - Mars?

Do the town pigeons look like they could grace your loft

Most I see, apart from missing toes, have drooping wings, canker nodules etc

You've got your head in the sand if you think there is no paratyphoid about

It is something you need, not necessarily to treat for - but certainly something you need to treat prophylactically for - oregano, acidic drinks etc.(citric acid, cider vinegar, Osmonds enviroboost) It is certainly circulating in the Up North Combine
