What you should know

For the pigeon magazines, I have written an article about the background of the young pigeon diseases. Now I notice that hardly any time there in this hectic period to chill sit down to read article. We are all busy with the pigeons. In addition that I've encountered things in the last few months that need more attention, but are just not big enough to buy an entire article because. Therefore I have put together this kind of stuff you need to know in this newsletter. Maybe interesting enough time just fast to read in the daily hustle and bustle.

Yellow dots

In recent years, I have appointed several times the yellow dots that can occur in the throat of the bird back. You are on the back palate. It is a persistent problem to RID. No, not the dots themselves, but the adoption would be the yellow button. Because that's not true. Okay, also the yellow button can occur in pigeons which have these dots. But the one has nothing to do with the other. But because then yellow dots are seen many pigeon breeders assume that there is a clearly visible outbreak of trichomoniasis. These farmers then take a (heavy) course during the season. Those where indeed is the yellow button at the same time will see an improvement in the condition. But these points remain visible during inspection of the throat. This month alone three pigeon breeders have reported the 'despite the Yellow Spa yellow not from the throat disappeared, because the points were still to be seen.' me They wanted a stronger remedy. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to explain that this has nothing to do with the yellow button and that it only concerns Crystal fittings, which just need to be combated not with anti-Trichomonadenmittel. So, people, these points have nothing to do with the yellow button. Make no unnecessary yellow cures. Especially when then overly long and hard is gekurt, the shape of pigeons will only decrease. And all of the evils it is of course to pigeons to evacuate due to a supposedly not too bestreitene yellow infection. Well, the breeder must then no longer fret at the dots, but it is nonsensical to pigeons to leave for a reason that has nothing to do with a disease.

Splash

Is still a theme what I'm been questioned last month a few times. Splashes in the nest and poorly growing young animals. The adults drink too much and some breeders be confused with diarrhea the watery droppings and make cures against suspected intestinal infections.
Most of the time without success. The problem lies in a temporary disorder of renal function in the sense that the pigeons have been drinking too much. This insufficiently produce nutrients for the young pigeons, which this may arise also inadequately. Laggards are the result. It can be an enormous mess in the breeding loft. The solution is as simple as effective. Give the animals a few days electrolytes and the problems disappear as snow before the Sun.
There are electrolytes by many manufacturers. Most can get through critical tests. Itself we have an electrolyte product in powder form in our product range, but also a liquid version; Bony Bonisol. It is one of the oldest products of our range. Bony Bonisol contains electrolytes also glucose and vitamins, trace elements and amino acids. This, basically, it is more than just a simple electrolytes drink.
Electrolytes can help in the capture of liquids. This is of course important when splashes in the nest, but also during the flights, especially the youngsters, it may be his services. Over the years I've done this effect not too familiar. Simply because here again mistakes can be made. Bonisol can therefore be of great value in the hold liquids during the journey, but through the same existing glucose may be just a feeling of thirst. Therefore, it is important if you are using an electrolyte solution or powder, then drink the pigeons still normal, clear, and clean water, so that they, must especially in warm weather, not with thirst in the basket. Youngsters are sometimes still not so savvy that they know how they can drink in the basket, the consequences can you imagine.
For use before the trip in combination with vitamin B12, bony flight support deserves our attention also. This combination provides not only a better electrolyte balance but also for a supportive effect due to vitamin B12 and a Phophorverbindung that helps to combat fatigue.
You want to have ausschlieslich profit from the anti-fatigue effect of vitamin B12 then is of course bony Catplus an option.
Bony Bonisol knows the use also at many pigeon fanciers after the trip in combination with bony A booster. Bony A booster is an amino acid concentrate that is added in the form of 10 drip from the Bonisol add as a first drink upon return. The doves recover very quickly, I hear of virtually all users.
Me we sometimes accused that I did not immediately report if there is a new product again. So even when the re Cup capsules that are used under this name for about two years with much success in Belgium. In the Netherlands it is called Herstelcapsules (DE: recovery capsules). You are given in return. There are fairly large capsules. So, it concerns the same capsules with a different name.
These are products that originally were produced upon request and with mouth find their way in the pigeon sport.
So also the condition Cape and the Vita Cape. Large capsules that help support the form and provided during the last few days before the trip are also pretty former. The Vita Cape smaller variants are enriched with vitamins. They can be used several times a day as needed. Depending on the condition of the pigeons.
These capsules are especially suitable for pigeon breeders bevorzügen on the treatment of the groups the made to measure. This custom work is a trend we see more and more often. Many breeders want to get rid of the use in drinking water. That gets my full support. Much better, drugs can be administered via feed. The pigeons can any unpleasant or bitter taste then 'drink away'. Use in drinking water invite the pigeons anywhere else their salvation to browse from roof gutters and puddles to drink.

Usneano plus

I would like to return briefly to this tincture. This combination contains Usnea barbata, but also oregano and several other liqueurs. The goal of this tincture is the condition of the pigeons to support and to promote the health. At this point I made before notification of the fact that it looks that both the yellow button of and Coccidiosis above have a terrible disgust. We have seen also countless pigeon stocks are free of these diseases after a good treatment with this agent. However, monitors critical as we we are also the cases where it does not.
A good month ago came a pigeon fancier in the consulting room with a super heavy yellow infection. He had already a cure with a normal Gelbmittel, but a month later saw in control on the screen that his pigeons were again heavily infected with this parasite. He wanted extra strong custom work so to speak. I suggested that he in the meantime bony Usneano plus used. With a little verscholenes smile, he said that it could possibly be gone after a treatment with this product. On Tuesday, he was again a week later in the practice and his face showed total amazement when he saw that at the 4 infection the parasite was gone completely and at the 6 infection, who was also diagnosed with the first check, in the whole product only three cancer were seen. He said I would have to make Weltkundig that because that would be the answer for the pigeon sport. Also, I should also know that started after a few days his pigeons to fly as he had not seen for years.
I write it here now. But I am also writing to a without comment. We see damn good results with this media on many dovecotes. Also on our test shots, this is the case. But we see also shocks which have still Coccidiosis or cancer after use of this tincture during inspections. I torture my brain so that why it works flawlessly on certain shots, and at other breeders though is an improvement to make but the infection is not entirely disappeared. We remain on the search for a possible reason. One of the possibilities is that there are stronger and weaker strains of yellow. Further research is required. Nevertheless I would not deprive the positive effect on this parasite you.
Curcuma Longa (Goldenseal) was also described as effective against Coccidiosis almost two years ago. Many pigeon breeders used the yellow root with this goal. The effectiveness of this herb is greatly improved if you add black pepper added. Without black pepper, the recording is only limited. Although the Goldenseal has several positive effects on the body (with our products it is included base core E.g. in the bony) I have to determine unfortunately no reducing effect on Coccidiosis in the feces. It may well be that this herb reduces acts but significantly noticeable I personally find it not.
Then has bony Usneano plus a better reputation to maintain. Still I would also point to cases where it seems not to do what it should.
While I read after this newsletter I notice that I give plenty of attention on our own products. If anyone here bothered, I would ask me to sign it so that I can remove you from our mailing list, because it is not my intention that you bother to the information that I send. In view of the fact that periodically emails me asking for more information about our products I want to come also to the wishes of these fanciers contrary. I wrote that before you can make it not any law. In the article for the magazine, I already spacious censor our products. Also I do get comments that do not rename I man and horse. That's why I'm trying this stalk of trivia in the next newsletter. I realize then already by themselves whether this is desirable or not.

Best of luck,

The pigeon clinic Beek is part of the local veterinary Centre. 6 vets and 8 (para-veterinary) assistants work.
The application of alternative veterinary equipment (such as herbs) occupies a high priority medicines regulator in addition to the application.
We strive in practice through regular preventive health checks to forestall excessive use of drugs. The application of immune strengthening herbs is used with the same goal. Above methods are combined with preventive vaccinations, sure that the pigeons with increased defense can start in the season.
In this way can be scooped during the season also unnecessary treatments, so that time and space to improve the shape of animals and thus to higher performance occur.
We send information for pigeon lovers, as well as an overview of drugs frequently used in Pigeon racing spreekkamer P. BoskampMehrmals per year to all pigeon fanciers, registered with us. On request, we will send information about new developments, new products and other information relevant to the pigeon sport also regularly by E-Mail.
