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.

thanks again for the info ian

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

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

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

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???.
