| Ive used it, cant remember dosage but theres plenty on google if you do a search, you can also use it in bathwater, cleans the birds feathers and keeps them free from mites etc, a lot of uses in cider vinegar. |

| hi , i use it in the water three times a week along with honey..........to be honest i cant see any difference from not using it but ill keep it up until i know otherwise, the dosage i give is 5 ml per litre. same with the honey too. |

| hi highflyerboy, i think there are a number of reasons the ybs get sickness........one think i think can lead to it is stress, and i have heard it can be a form of e-coli too. |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
