Would I be wrong to presume that some "fanciers" blind treat their Birds with Baytril etc, before pairing up ?. The result being the young are bred with no immune system nor immunity being passed on in the parent birds milk. Now that is ok as long as the youngsters are not mixing with others and in a separate section BUT once mixed either in training or race panniers with others.. BANG..You have just pulled the loaded gun's trigger. OMO..

Yup Treat for 10 days before a certain injection :emoticon-0179-headbang: :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Yes your right Ian never looked into this but surely they would carry this out long before pairing :unsure:

If you was to do this treatment inject and then pair you would have many infertile eggs. They must have a minimum of 4 weeks!

 

I personally do not inject for paratyphoid, however i do treat for it once a year, and i rotate the products i use.

 

As i told Ian McKay in his survey, the last two years ive had no young bird sickness, while prior i was plagued every year after the first race, and the only thing i had done different the last two years was treat my young birds a week after weaning for paratyphus as adviced by vetinery.

Ive done the same procedure as you and still got it Ryan, the last couple of seasons ye wouldn't know it was there because it was that mild, BUT IT STILL WAS THERE!!

I've seen them fly well around the loft everyday, droppings good, no food retention or vomiting and birds feathering tight but still have a touch of YBS...If they fail to trap with the speed as they usually do and look at you with a slight glare in their eye, Generally the birds aren't switched on, well this is YBS in its mild form and can be missed by most fanciers.How to eradicate it,and never get this. Well , that's the million dollar question..

Nice bird but it was still crossing the channel when the winner was clocked but each to their own don't forget my names on a snfc trophy John but the difference is I didn't come on here looking for pats on the back or telling everyone where their going wrong and guys are sh** fanciers but if that's what keeps you happy John batter in 👌

Posted

Aye you were on here looking and gettin pats on the back Ricky but it took Wee George tae gee credit tae the man that gave ye the stock tae breed yer winner. Anybody interested enough could dig the thread up. A credited DKJ & Brian Herd on Ma first post because Davie gifted me the dam and Brian sold me the Sire for next tae nothing and ye wirnae exactly complimenting the guys that timed in fae Reims this year, in fact not One compliment tae any member. So if that floats your boat carry on.

Del, im being 100% honest here, the first signs i look for in ybs is the youngsters go dumb, they dont listen, when i stated that i had none in two years hand on heart it is the truth.

I believe you Ryan, im just stating my own personal findings. I cannot believe folk that say they have never had it, for me they are not observing enough. Imagine a class of school children and never one taking a virus, its almost impossible. I spoke to a guy the other day and he said he d never had YBS, but every year culls any that go back ahahhaha. nuff said.

I think yer spot on del. Either fanciers are not observant enough or they just wont admit it.

A lot think that their own craws are the whitest and nothing can possibly be wrong with thum. Worse than that some burry their head in the sand! :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:

Losses in young bird racing says it all tae me del :emoticon-0179-headbang: mine had it mild this year as well but I'm clued up enough tae spot it but till their back flying well enough at the lofts they don't go in a basket in fact this year they only got one race and then when I felt they were fit and healthy enough they were trained numerous times out of Dunbar be interesting to see how they do as yearlings if and all is ok then I wouldn't hesitate stopping young bird racing again and just privately train them
