The care during the moulting period – in a nutshell
Now that the moult is approaching, I get by Meesenger, Mail, app and phone ask what's best to do and give in the Mauser target. Now many roads lead to Rome. There are different ways the pigeons to guide during the moult. However, one thing must be noted. The moulting period is an important period because in this Time to make the "wings" for next season. Now that everything is getting more expensive, I hear that the Pigeons now have to make do with less. I don't think that's a sensible starting point. There is a risk that the pigeons with have to start the season with weak plumage. The price yield will then probably not be optimal. It is better to keep fewer pigeons, but them optimally cared for during the moult.
What is the optimal supply off during the moult?
As already mentioned, several roads lead to Rome. We have a whole range of products that we can give during the moult. But I choose simplicity. If you want to take the time for it, you can give the pigeons a week long give pigeon tea with moult seeds. An old but proven way to do that to initiate the moulting season. Is there a difference between tea and tincture? In a tincture, the ingredients are absorbed by the herbs withdrawn from several months of extraction with alcohol. With tea, the herbs are boiled and the Add ingredients to the water in this way. A tincture is usually stronger.
Products during the moult
I myself start the moulting season with one two-week cure with our Basic T. The T stands for tincture. The herbs in Basis T have a detoxifying effect body and also on the liver. During the moult, the liver must be flawless can work. So the cleansing of the liver and kidneys is not unnecessary luxury to be able to withstand this process.
Productsexplanation
We want to do this process with the base T support. Also with choline-containing products like Bony Pigeon Bonichol or Sedochol we can support the liver well. The pigeons get that for 10 days after the basic T. After that, our pigeons receive Bony Basic Core as standard Bony Bio-BMT and Nucleovit via the feed and the moulting vitamin in the drinking water. So we lead our pigeons well through the During the moulting period and afterwards, the pigeons have good plumage. Medications should be given during the moult whenever possible be avoided.
In addition to herbs, Bony's base core also contains
minerals and is part of the standard basic care. In addition to proteins and brewer's yeast, the Bony B.M.T
also probiotics and gut-supporting acids that eliminate harmful bacteria
make it difficult to find a home.
Finally, the Bony contains omega nucleovite
Nucleotides that are incorporated into cells during cell division. Certainly it is desirable during the moult
having enough of it available so that the body does not use too much energy
has to spend to produce these substances. Of course, the moulting vitamin speaks for itself.
Only if the pigeons show diseases, one should think about medication. In bad condition it may be necessary to take additional measures during the moult. But that should be the exception rather than the rule be. This includes additional support such as Powerglutavit or Iron boost.
After the moult we give the pigeons for some weeks PreviSal. We are definitely not for preventive Post-moult antibiotics, ostensibly to keep salmonella one step ahead be. Rather, the fact is that dormant salmonella actually wake up. After moulting towards the new breeding period we give the Dove the Bony SGR for a longer period of time.
Good luck
Good luck!

The moral of this story. Blind cures are in the age of Pigeon top sports no longer desired. In the case of serious problems, a Thorough research must be carried out, which is significantly more than faecal examinations and throat swabs. It should be considered to send samples to a specialized Send lab to detect hidden infections. It is at least as important, however, that a good Intestinal environment is promoted and a good one general resilience is built.
So there are different vaccines to prevent diseases. In practice, therefore, most vaccines are satisfactory. I vaccinate my own pigeons with RP = Rota Paramyxo (2x) and PHA = Paramyxo Herpes and Adeno (2x). I am very happy with it. But as I often say:

Even the smallest deviations can decide between victory or defeat. Today's legislation makes professional medical care in pigeon racing more difficult.
