Apple cider vinegar

What brand of apple cider vinegar do members use, where do you buy it from and how much is it.

I got a big bottle of it from corn man boosey, its what they use for horses and it wasn't expensive, quite cheap if I remember rightly.

I remember at the 2012 blackpool show when I went, they had a big 5ltr/gallon bottle for £5

ive seen it at asda too, 69p a bottle, but not sure if its the right stuff as it might be a refined version and not much good for what pigeon men need it for........maybe someone might know better.

steve go to a health shop and ask for mother cider vinegar the cloudy stuff is the one you want with the pulp in it but if yer using ropa save yer money no need to bother...if I had to choose one supplement to use over anything else it would be ropa

You may be onto the fish & chip stuff David at 69 p a bottle I suspect. None of that fancy stuff for me here costs around $5/6 for me to buy it for a 500 ml bottle etc & I can buy 2 litres of the cheapy stuff for less than a $ Health wise it does the job to a degree, thou not as fancy as the one with the mother in it type of thing, but I double dip 50/100 mls depending on my mood/weather in a bucket for the water troughs, 250 mls in the bath water & I even combine it with bleach at times to spray the loft out.

with all those combinations, doses and mixtures knackered, it sounds like your making a bomb.........

Darren I do use Ropa 3 times a week and they are looking good on it, I was going to use the cider vinegar to help with respitory system and keep their clefts open and their throats clean.
I used to buy something called Clearwater and that smelt like vinegar but it also looked like it had some sort of herb floating in it.

I used to use something called honeygar boosey, obviously by the name it was honey and cider vinegar mixed.....they sell it at Holland and barret, but now I use the ropa liquid I don't bother with the honeygar.

Not really David . Thou when I was a wee lad type of thing I was into the bomb making trick & I actually was an expert etc & if you ever have any rabbitt holes to get rid of over there, I'm your man .

Used it years ago, and to be honest cant really say I noticed any difference, but each to their own, We all have our preferences.

Very true what you say Mick I suspect much of it comes under the feel good moment type of thing for the owners as such, when we decide on a certain tonic, mediciation or feed etc. Pigeons for the most part I suspect would say, go pump that sh*te into someone else  & please just keep everything under the kiss scenario.
