walterboswell59 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 The only other approved Colombovac product is for pmv + pigeon pox. This database isn't very user-friendly, but it is the list of all DEFRA-approved medicines for use in the in UK. There is an 'A to Z', but if you are looking for e.g. a product name starting with 'P' it looks like you need to click on P then scroll through the pages till you find it. If it's not listed, it's not authorised for use here. http://www.vmd.defra.gov.uk/ProductInformationDatabase/thanks again for the info ian
frankdooman Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 An important reminder - the only PMV vaccines authorised for use in pigeons in Britain are Nobilis (oil-based) and Colombovac (water-based). Colombovac is again off the market, so the only one available for use just now is Nobilis. The vaccines are very different so you need to read the leaflet that comes with it. Ian it's nobilis I've used today is this passed I've always called it nobilac is there one called that
walterboswell59 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Ian it's nobilis I've used today is this passed I've always called it nobilac is there one called thatnobilis is ok frank your thinking of nobivac which i have not seen for a few years m8
ALF Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I know someone who has had doos for many many years and has never vaccinated a pigeon in his life and has hardly ever had a doo sick in over 40 yrs of keeping them ...I think we are too scared re what will or could happen if we dont jag our yb's

walterboswell59 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I know someone who has had doos for many many years and has never vaccinated a pigeon in his life and has hardly ever had a doo sick in over 40 yrs of keeping them ...I think we are too scared re what will or could happen if we dont jag our yb's thats the chance you take alan ive no dout there getting something off the vaccine now but ive jagged my birds every year missed 20 late breds that billy bred me about 5 or 6 years ago and when i came back my holidays they all had full blown parra except two and they both won had to dispose of the rest lucky for me mine had all been jagged or i could have been wiped out to big a chance to take m8
walterboswell59 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 and ive also no dout that we get it through the race and training baskets if your birds are not mixing with others you could get away with that alan unless you get a stray in thats carrying it
ALF Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Aye mixing with other doos is a sure fire way of picking up most diseases etc but jagging is defo not the be all and end all of keeping pigeons healthy ion fact it might have the oppisite effect but we (myself included keep jagging our pigeons every year but do we really need to) Or are we just lining the pockets of the companies that produce the vaccine's???.

ALF Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 the reason use are picking up most diseases as you say is because some of the cants aint jaggingnaw am no a believer in that Jimmy
Guest chad3646 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 alf are you saying that everybody should stop jagging and see what the outcome would be
ALF Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 alf are you saying that everybody should stop jagging and see what the outcome would beno what i am saying is are we getting ripped off by the companies that supply the vaccine and is it really necessary to jag every year???
Guest chad3646 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 no what i am saying is are we getting ripped off by the companies that supply the vaccine and is it really necessary to jag every year??? alf i think it would be necessary to jag young birds every year, but old birds ???
ALF Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 alf i think it would be necessary to jag young birds every year, but old birds ???that is certainly something that has been spoke about at length Jimmy!
