When dya give the 5 day treatment H....?


I'd usually give them the 5 day treatment after training prior to the first race

I'm a big believer that stress increases canker count in pigeons

I use what ever is to hand usually spartrix or Ronidazole

Usually a good 5 day treatment followed by 3 days of Nifuramycin on the corn

What are people's approach on this?

The training spot there and back is 1 hour in total so the same as having lets say having the young cocks out

Do you think this ...

The young birds are on BJF Gerry mix with black rape, hemp and peanuts as their trapping mix
