Products Teas Tonics Vitamins and Potions

What do the flyers here add to feed and plain water?
I use apple cider vinegar, garlic juice, pro biotics, and vitamins/electrolites.

Wormer when I see worms.
Permetrin spray when I see external parasites.

for the last 18 months ive added cider vinegar and honey to the water 3 times a week, now ive stopped that and all my birds get is fresh clean water and corn......also matrix and a seperate dish of pink minearals, when i start racing the ybs i will add either honey or glucose to the water upon arrival home.

im running out of days of the week with all the stuff i put in the water really i dont think it makes a difference

mine get pigeon tea for 10 days pryer to training and then sundays and wednesdays
also glucose saturdays and thursday and fridays
clean grit and minarals daily small amounts and good ols johnsons tonice mondays
ive never had y/b sickness as i think this was about the time i packed up that it started
but if i did ide let it run its cause just feed light food glucose and honey
this is my opinion only others may know but in times of any stress rest will always be the best giving medication willy nilly wont do pigeons any good either

when i raced on natural mine had fresh garlic most days,muti-vits i also used b12.the only other that went in the water was microfom t. a good corn mix also trapping mix.and forgot glucose.

I have become a fan of Naturline and have used orego-stim for ages but mainly water.

Will look after this week to possibly use the Jouriet tea system if supplier has any in stock tonight.

Tend to use more bits on the food such as perform powder, DAC (cant remember product name)

I dont use the commercial oils buy Mazolma oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, hemp oil etc from supermarket.

Cider vinegar once a fortnight, Johnsons Tonic every tuesday. I once used everything that was on the market but the only product I felt I could actually see the birds tighten up and look the part was Johnsons Tonic, not saying they don't need something extra once and a while still. They always drink more when it's just clean water though!

hi barnie, i used to use johnsons tonic but stopped using it because i noticed that within a few hours what i presume was the iron had sunk to the bottom of the water bowl, leaving just clear, plain water for them to drink.......i dont know if this was the case and made the "tonic" inactive, but it certainly had gone to the bottom.

My main tonic this season has been Naturaline

yes David you're right it does seperate after a while now. Never used to years ago. since they drink mostly after a feed it's got to be stirred up at meal times.

yes your right barnie, it didnt seem to do it years ago when i kept pigeons, since i restarted 3 years ago i noticed it does it........they always seem to be altering things, i remember we used the original aviform years ago which had mollassis in it, now it doesnt.

Yeah thats it mate, my mate said Alf Jones (Northampton) says it the best product he has ever used so thats one hell of a testimony imo.

i used to use dhp colinol plus and bronchovital i rated that colinol plus but the bronchovital i stoped using as mycoform t is better ...initialy you give that darba for 5 consecutive days and you will see the difference atb

Did look at the colinol plus, is it not similar to coli killer - have the literature at home but havent looked through yet.

have you tried the sheep fat one?

colinol plus is much superior to the coli killer jmo mind you but do know guys who have still had ybs whilst using coli killer where as others have not lol says to me it dont work coli killer seems to be a mixture of natural acids but the ingredients are not stated colinol plus actualy contains the sheep fats and stinks to high heaven lol but is an excellent natural antibiotic to use b4 you reach for the meds but the birds do take a while to adjust to the taste ....i now use strike in colinols place
