aspirin is not good for your liver specially u use it to get rid of your hang over .

[AnakNiPepe]

for maintenance we use multi vitamins and minerals made by kirkland twice a week half tablet each. for avoidance of procurement of disease we do flush them once a month with amytyl.

[tjtcokngacademy]

These are the things I would have in my medicine cabinet in the farm.

For maintenance, growth and strengthening:

• B Complex Vitamin (injectables)
• Iron (injectable)
• Cod liver oil (liquid & capsule)
  
• Vitamin A, D & E injectables
• Electrolytes
  Given to roosters on cord and during breeding season.

Here are some suggested broad spectrum antibiotics that can be used alternately for treatment of various gamefowl diseases:

• Water Soluble antibiotics for birds less than 4 months old like Baxidil, Aquadox & Gallamycin
• For 4 months above:
• Baytril injectable,
• Ampicin injectable
• Gentamycin Sulfate injectable.

Oral Antibiotics: Cephalexine Suspension for birds younger than 3 months; Cephalexine Capsule 250mg for stags and cocks as your reliable antibiotic to treat various infectious diseases.

• Tincture of Iodine for external wounds (Betadine).

• Red Kote (Scarlet Oil) antiseptic

• VetRx

• It would be best to keep some instruments like surgical forceps and scissors.

• Tuberculine syringe

Please take note that these vitamins and antibiotics should be properly stored to maintain their potency. It would be best that you have a medicine cabinet to protect the medicines from sunlight and hang it in a cool corner of your cockhouse.

Thank you, Doc Teddy for the response, what about refrigerating the medicines?

Up Up Up Pa Mga Bosing !!!!

[AnakNiPepe]

if i may ask doc is there an available parenteral vitamin of A D & E for our chicken and better yet if you know a preparation for us human i will be more glad.

in addition to doc's input iron is poisonous to our chicken when given too much (galing kay doc yan turo nya sa amin). and electrolytes can be home made it is a mixture of sugar and vinegar the proportion will follow for i have to be certain about it.

[tjtcokngacademy]

You can use Introvit injectable or Duphafral multi-injection which are available in Progressive & Farmbreed Poultry Supply.

Anak ni Pepe is right....Iron should not be abused, because chickens don't have the mechanism to excrete excess iron in their body and would only lead to iron toxicity.

[AnakNiPepe]

Vitamin B11: Pteryl-hepta-glutamic acid – Chick growth factor, which is a form of Folic acid.
I'll try this for my 4 months stags and try to compare their ht advantage to their parent.

Vitamin B comes from a number of natural sources, including potatoes, bananas, lentils, chilli peppers, tempeh, liver oil, liver, turkey, and tuna.

anaknipepe,

can you provide us the proportion of the mixture of sugar and vinegar to make home-made electrolytes because i am interested in making one myself. thanks

[AnakNiPepe]

in 1 liter of water mix 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vinegar


DOC what gauge will be ideal to use to administer Viton ADE vitamin I find it hard for me and for my chicken to use gauge 23 needle

[tjtcokngacademy]

You can use a guage 19 or 21 whenever you inject oily solutions like Vit. ADE injectables.

[AnakNiPepe]

doc where can I buy a needle gauge 19 that is stainless so I wont be buying the disposable ones

[rob_roi]
