Three times a week I crush a clove of garlic and put it in a bottle of lukewarm water. several hours later I strain out the garlic, add 10 ml of natural ACV and dilute it to make 3 litres.
The pigeons are always in brilliant health so it does them no harm :D
Could you put the garlic in the acv bottle or would that not work aswell
Probably, but I want the juice out of the crushed garlic which contains the Allicin, but I don't want the clove floating around starting to decompose. So I strain it out and add the cider vinegar.

I hope you win, Devo.
I can imagine the 4 pairs that you would select. They all would be off super bloodlines! :D

I can only try Murray, i have 2 youngsters still in Germany. The plan is to bring them over after the Kassel show at the end of November. If all goes well, i will select the others to make 4 pairs. :) :)

Garlic contains a substance called Alliin. When the clove is crushed Alliin is oxidised and becomes Allicin. The oxidation continues and Allicin starts to break down. That is why garlic is most effective when freshly prepared. Over time it loses it's potency.
Because the amount of ACV in a drinker is small, I don't think it makes much difference.

No sorry Murray
I mean if garlic is placed in the ACV the actual bottle of it then used that way
I seen people use a product with both combined or cloves can be thrown in the bottle and left but just didn’t know if the goodness would work like that
