Swab testing

Wheres a good place to send birds samples.
How much Is it, and where do you get the swabs from.

we use these now a fast service you will get a test kit and once test are complete a member of there staff will call you on any ishues and advice it cost aroun 14 pounds results are in most cases the next day after they arrive

give them a ring and they will send you the kit asap its best if you can send the kit back the next day try to avoid sending at the weekend as knowing the post office they will mess things up best to post recorded delivery

Thanks everyone

I sent my droppings from 4 birds off yesterday and a swab from one of my young birds crops.
Got a text at lunchtime today that the tests were complete and to call them.

Good news, everything they tested for came back clear.

I can't speak highly enough of the service, the person I spoke to was very helpful and gave me some great advice, and said I could call them any time.

They are really against using anti biotics unless totally necessary, I told him my birds symptoms had cleared up since using Ropa B (thanks Darren) and he said that Ropa B was a good pre biotic.

They will be at the Epsom show, test kits will be cheaper there and vaccines to.

Thanks again all for the advice
