I can agree that healthy pigeons that have the ability to navigate and orientate quickly are giving themselves the best chances of winning

This is another one I used in the past

Mycroform T is good I think
Not in the water as it’s to weak but if you get a bird sneeze a few times syringe it down the crop and seems to sort the issue
I do all my racers once a month in the summer just done the hens before I trained them today so it’s s job you can do as you train ,just like worming .2ml straight into the crop repeat 12 days later
Yellow drops the same do them then train
Pmv vaccine the same jab then train them saves all that catching again

Yes, been many years ago (30+) that I last used Mycoform T but was quite happy with it back then

If I ever get a yb sneeze it’s straight down the crop 2 days at the most and it’s sorted

Good to know

Would Acriflavine in the nostrils be ok Mike the same as yellow drops, I've used this on the feed as a rule or wouldn't you advise this.

Hi Dave

Firstly I've never used it and I don't know anyone that has either, so I'm not talking from previous experience on this one

There's elements of this that concern me

Firstly, the biggest secret amongst top sprint men is "the head". You've gotta get the head right. By "the head" I mean the ability to orientate fast and ensure the respiratory system is 100% - so anything focussing on this is worthy of attention

It's billed as being "powerful" and they warn about too regular use. It also says to use in the beak (not the nostril) on the day of basketing and on the day of return. That makes no sense to me. If it's that powerful I think I'd be reluctant to get administering anything into the beak on the day the birds go to the race.

I'm a big fan of Nazaline and I've seen the impact that has on pigeons - but I'd be damned if I'd be doing that on the day of basketing.
