Ian McKay Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Survey results on YBs, reason and questions ConclusionNo survey is proof positive on anything it is just an indication of the participants views used to inform others that something might be beneficial CriticsAfter reading the questions asked I would like to ask the writers: What have you done to help with this problem?Have you seen the stats and evidence on all the products you buy?Have you seen the stats and evidence for the illegal vaccines you are using? Testing using friends and trialists who get it free says nothing to me!What other survey have you seen that has published all its results? And asked trialists in advance to publish their results when it suits them without being checked and verified first? FutureSo you would prefer no survey or trials unless you get scientific proof? Sorry it's not going to happen. PermitherinScientific proof for Permitherin is availableSee this link http://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc94.htm#SubSectionNumber:1.1.1 VaccinationI see vaccination is being questioned I know for a FACT some who have vaccinated properly and some who do not vaccinate are in the same boat. Under counter productsHave you ever thought how much damage your illegal vaccines and antibiotics are doing to your birds year after year? Future helpWhat other company or individual is helping with this problem unless they are making and selling a cure which does not come with a guarantee? Except you will not get your money back!! Survey reasonLet’s be honest about this; the survey was started with my quest to find out why some get it and some don’t, nothing more and nothing less.Everyone that has chosen to take part did so willingly.Everyone has paid for the product all the same price (some more) depending where they got it but no one has been induced to give good feed back with freebies or any other incentive i.e. (pals, friends, mates, relations) I am NOT producing a Miracle prevention. The product has been on the market for years. I have just brought it to your attention.It is a tried and tested product approved by WHO (World Health Organization)I am a pigeon fancier trying to find help for our birds but if you can do better please feel free to try, let us see your info and results and testing.TestingLaboratory testing costs are expensive. Field testing costs are horrendous and will NEVER be done for pigeons so if that is what you are looking for you’re NOT going to see it. Why would we need this Laboratory testing done? It is a proven product since the early 70's and approved for use against insects (if this is the cause?)The 2017 trialists will soon give us an answer.The proof of the pudding is in the eating. ResultsResults by people most of whom I do not knowThanks to all who are willing to try something to help our birds. The cost involved won’t break the bank but might!! just might help. Reasons givenStress, Basketing, Transporters, Dogs, Kids, BOP, washing on the line on race day and all the other excuses are NOT the problem.Why do we have street pigeons living in our cities? Surely they would be subject to more stress than our birds. Why are wild birds not affected by this entire stress scenario?I know of other birds that suffer stress (Budgies, Pheasants) when caged or caught and if it occurs they usually die very quickly with no other signs. My theoryLaziness and ignorance. Useless infoDoing nothing but criticizing them that are trying to help does nothing.Doing the same thing time and time again will NEVER give you a different result.Mouthing off about never having it and doing nothing will not protect you. 2017 resultsI look forward to the next few months to see what the trialists have to say. The survey is Open, Transparent and above board also OPEN to all, so don’t see what all the criticism is about. Why not join in and try to help yourself and others find an answer to this problem then we might !! just might see our transporters with increased birdage and getting better returns, making more money for the Fed / Clubs and maybe reduced cost to us?

dal2 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I congratulate you on your efforts Ian and after reading your initial posts I checked what was in my disinfectant spray and found it was permithern based. I spray the loft with it twice a year but still get YBS.....perhaps I am not using it correctly or not enough. I do take issue WITH YOUR THEORY ' laziness and ignorance isn't causing my YBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink" This may be a solution or it may just be stinking water, but those that try it and publish their results will be the ones that give a better indication than the one we already have. If the results are good, more may drink; if not, then those who tried to drink, will spit it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Personally I, as many will have read such posts via me, believe that incest breeding has hammer the immunities and constitution. Whilst many are only to happy to BUY such birds and then carry on doing as such, then this problem will only get worse. Indeed if very many stopped and thought about 'Incest Breeding' AND why it is done, then that alone would curb - in my view - tremendously our plight. Inbred should only be done once, at most and if at all! Yeah we see off spring winning 'Paper Bag' races.... The simple fact and reality, regardless for whatever reason one chooses not to believe is the fact that past pigeons were far superior to those to day in constitution and immunity. Further I believe that Ian's post spouts a lot of truth ... plus I think many of us ought to look in the mirror for answers. Too many are only too happy to knock what they don't like or can accept. That is their choice, but that in it's self doesn't give them to right to knock willy - nilly what they don't like ... because, mainly it doesn't suit them.

philg50 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 IMO not that it will stand for much is you will be coming up with,and arguing about all differing theories from noww until doomsday and why get worked up about some illness you may or may not be troubled with is a waste of time ,by the way i had it 2014 or was it 2013 but any way it was dealt with.

Guest mambo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 My take on ybs is, soiled areas, left to long in the shed,and getting trampled on, where as wild birds move about, and not standing on soiled area, as much. And the fact it can be cured within 3 days while clean up, tells me were it has came about,yes it can come from birds raced or tossed, I would say its a form of salmonella and a starvation would rid it, then multi vits a clean loft while racing would help a lot of people more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going down the other road this season,loft granules,thick taken off as and when required,perches cleaned twice a day ?
