                      CUSTOM BLEND -  GARLIC

                      Re; Garlic Powder.

                      The idea is to make sure the stress levels on the birds/animals are maintained as low as possible, this will only be achieved by ensuring the numbers kept and housed are better  - few - rather than many.

                      We are now using some 2 teaspoons per 100 (flock) birds per day.

                      Suggested implementation

                      Start at 1-2 tablespoons per 100 pigeons daily (approx 45kg body wt)

                      Reducing over 7-10 days to 1 dessert spoon per 100 pigeons.

                      Maintaining at this level until sure levels can be reduced further.

                      Adults continue receiving garlic whilst breeding.

                      It seems better results eventuate, when heavy-handed with garlic rather than,

                      trying to skimp and save.

                      Note, The better the hygiene controls the less garlic required.

                      Garlic has now been used by us for the last 12 years.

                      For 12 years we have used NO medication, garlic controlling worms, parasites and diseases.

                      We now CHALLENGE our birds by introducing sick birds, in a bid to identify those bred carrying a less than adequate immunity.

                      Once identified they are never allowed access to the stock loft and it is doubtful,

                      when we resume racing, they (the birds) would reach the race loft.

                      Matured Garlic (at least 3 years old) is only used.

                      Fresh Garlic contains essentials oils that need modification by aging for garlic to be used daily.
