I use Gemthepax a lot particularly when young are in the nest I think it’s great stuff
but do prefer blitzform to impact and beyers grit and mineral I think is better than the modern matrix plus it’s loads cheaper . I don’t think matrix is the same as 5 years ago
Don't know exactly m8 but smells like a lot of garlic ,,heard there's shortage of blitzform think there was a mistake at place where its made ,,so if u need it get it now OK,,I like blitzform but happy with impact its most similar product out there .

But I also know people dry it on the food I’m told to kill fungus I don’t know if it does I guess being a acid it might suppress it
What I would like to know do people who dry it on the corn still have to control the ph in the water if that’s what they like to do or does the ph in the gut lower even if it’s dried on the corn ( not wet )
On food for me pal ,,
Years ago I put it in water old man who taught me said vinegar on chips not in my tea son ,so I listened and done it that way since

So you wouldn’t use a ph control in the water then as there could be a possibility of making the gut to acidic
If that a thing even
You remember Barrie smailes signalman off the old chat I got on well with him and he always told me to go in the corn with it , I have been using it on the farm barley dried for a about 6 weeks I do few days worth in one go but thought I shouldn’t do both
But then how do I know I dropped it to under 5 just by the corn as I can’t test it like I can water
Plus with it being dry on the corn does that reduce the ph effect in the gut
Iv used ph control Neil but I like stuff on food because they get the lot ,,

I put ACV on the corn as your not diluting it in the water, it's only a small amount on corn like a glaze effect then it dries or soaks in overnight.
I'm not sure about the fungus element but it's an acid so my thinking is it should help jmo.

So ph control in tne water and acv on corn
Can that not make the crop/ gut to acidic or dies that not exist in birds
Vet told me If the white part the droppings are large it's two acidic Neil plus they say 5ml ph control per litre I use 1ml it works fine for me.

What are the benefits of lowering the PH balance of the water Neil.
I thought I was using it for its medicinal values.
