Pro biotic live culture natural yoghurt

[Rdhd Danny]

This is one very few people talk about but is something we use a lot in the stud industry, live culture yogurts are incredible when mixed into feed, but it has to be thrown away after 4 hours can't be left sitting longer, what's the benefits well it puts millions of good bacteria into the crop and ultimately the birds and creates a good health barrier to bacteria but also consider it a must once a week when we are breeding crop milk is heavily affected by it and it's fantastic for the offspring, anyone do this or have in the past?

I always put Yakult into the drinkers, the birds loved it.

[Rdhd Danny]

@devo never done it in drinkers but getting it in them anyway you can definitely helps them

Never done that mate but it sounds like it makes a lot of sense.... is there any benefit other than the good bacteria. Would it help to keep things like Y. Bird sickness at bay?

[Rdhd Danny]

@diamondave we do it once a week for our breeders and we see very little yb sickness we had one bad year over 9 years ago and touch wood none sinse can't say that's the reason I feel it's a culmination of things we use a lot of vanrobaeys health balance also and that also helps I feel keep a lot of sickness at bay

[Diamond Dave]

Thanks mate. I appreciate you coming on here and giving luddites like me the benefit of all that experience
I just have one major problem......

I use Gemthepax which is not a live culture, for the reason of waste with you get with a 'live' one like you say. But I don't make the mistake of using a bleach/disinfectant as well.

Danny on a different post you say you used Virkon S in the water? Why do you bother promoting good bacteria then kill it with Virkon S? Surely this is counterproductive? Or do you treat breeders & racers different?

[Rdhd Danny]

@king yes we treat breeders and racers different, we use vircron s for cleaning not in the water, but with our yb team and testers we use it in the water one day a week
