MEDPET
PRE-RACING SEASON TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR PIGEONS
(4 weeks) –
2010
POX:
All pigeons should be vaccinated with Medipox at least 8 weeks prior to
contact with other pigeons.
MALARIA: Pigeons to
be treated for 10 consecutive days with Primaquin 5 weeks before racing
commences.
INTESTUM can also be
used in the place of the Entero-Plus but not when using antibiotics from
the Tetracycline family due to the presence of Calcium in the product.
Entero-Plus and
Intestum can both be applied to the feed but only Entero-Plus is water
soluble. Clean water should be made available when applying these
products to the feed.
Canker Treatment:
Any of the following Canker products are compatible – Cankerex-Plus,
Emtryl or Medizole. (Please note Canker products containing
Dimetrinidazole should not be used when pigeons are feeding their young
or at times when the water uptake is very high i.e very hot weather.)
Respiratory treatment should be carried out for 7 days prior to racing.
Beta-Glucans (Medimune)
– We believe that if given just prior and at time of vaccination it
increases the effectiveness of the vaccine.

RACING COMMENCES………….
MEDPET RACING PROGRAM
2010
The most common
worms in pigeons (Roundworm & Hairworm) are very easily picked up by
pigeons especially when all birds are mixed i.e. basketing. We
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, we recommend that the program below be
repeated on a weekly basis. The reason being that we believe, pigeons
respond better to routine.
When basketing takes
place on a Thursday you will need to advance the program as the week is
shorter.
We 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.
We 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 (resistant strains – Ronsec)
* Suggested products for Respiratory problems: Doxybiotic pwd,
Tylobiotic pwd, Doxybird tabs, Longstim pwd
* Please follow the recommended instructions (1-2 days treatment is of
no use as this only helps to cause resistance to the product)
We believe that
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.
