Medpet Treatment Schemes

MEDPET RACING PROGRAM:

 

– The most common worms in pigeons (Roundworm & Hairworm) are very easily picked up by pigeons especially when all birds are mixed i.e. basketing. Its therefore recommend that you treat you pigeons with Mediworm every 6 weeks. (This would also work as a treatment for Tapeworm, which is not as common).

 

– To keep the race program as simple as possible, its recommend that the program below be repeated on a weekly basis. The reason being that pigeons respond better to routine.

 

– When basketing takes place on a Thursday you will need to advance the program as the week is shorter.

 

– Its recommend the use of Viroban for 5 days before a big National Race. When doing this the recommended water treatments in the normal plan will be ignored and Viroban will be substituted for the full 5 days but pigeons must receive clear water for 2 days before basketing.

 

– Please note that when using Viroban one should not use Bloedstim.

 

– For long distance races, Medicarb should be used on the feed for 4 days not 2.

 

– Its recommend that routine treatments* for Canker and Respiratory problems should be carried out every 4-6 weeks.

* Suggested products for Canker: Powder(Cankerex-Plus, Emtryl , Medizole); tablets (Meditrich)

* Suggested products for Respiratory problems: (Doxybiotic pwd, Tylobiotic pwd, Doxybird tabs, Longstim

* Please follow the recommended instructions (1-2 days treatment is of no use as this only helps to cause resistance to the product)

 

– The treatment for Coccidiosis should only be carried out with a definite diagnosis. However, the two products Coximed tabs and Medicox powder are safe to use as a routine treatment throughout the racing season.
