Supplementary feed for ornamental birds, racing pigeons, terrarium animals, small rodents and ornamental rabbits

Immun-o-flash® can have a positive metabolic influence on strengthening the immune system due to its special composition.

Immunity is not visible. Nevertheless, the immune system is immensely important for the body. It protects the body from influences from the living environment. It registers threats from harmful microorganisms and viruses. It is very important to do everything to support the functionality of the immune system.

As is well known, the immune system cannot be kept at its highest level constantly. It requires a building phase as well as a resting phase. Permanent stimuli can eventually "blunt" the immune system, with the result that it gets out of control or no longer functions completely. The consequence would be an increased susceptibility to viral infections.

In the pet sector, the following virus types play a major role:

APV virus (Avian Polyoma Virus): causes very high nestling mortality, especially in birds. This virus, formerly mainly known in small parakeets, is now also spreading strongly in canaries and wild birds. To my knowledge, a spread to pigeon populations is not yet known. However, the possibility exists.

PBFD virus (Circo virus): is known for feather and beak diseases. Young animals lose part of their tail and flight feathers as nestlings. These sometimes grow back later and after a certain time, these feathers are lost again. It becomes an endless cycle. In racing pigeons, "circoviruses" are associated with the so-called "young pigeon disease".

PDD virus (Borna virus): is considered responsible for the usually fatal proventricular dilatation disease in parrots and parakeets. This type of virus is particularly difficult to treat with medication, usually without hope of success.

Manufacturer's statement: Immun-o-flash® was initially intended to be only a targeted solution to a problem that had occupied me for over two decades. In the past, I repeatedly encountered the polyoma virus in my birds. At some point – many years ago – the measure of all things was full, as many pieces of advice (including a long breeding break) did not bring the desired success. The combination of immune-relevant building blocks from the natural food reservoir brought the breakthrough. It was not the immunoglobulins of the dairy cow, nor the oregano fractions in all their diversity. The experiences of many users in the bird and pigeon sector have made me sit up and take notice in recent years. Beyond the initially intended specific use of Immun-o-flash, many other interesting areas of application have opened up.

Application

Immun-o-flash® is a food supplement and not a medicinal product. It can only provide metabolic support. In problem flocks, the biological medicinal product PT-12 (active ingredient: lactobacillus salivarius) should therefore be used simultaneously for at least 10 days. Immun-o-flash® can also be administered over a longer period. The duration of use always depends on: which goals are to be pursued with Immun-o-flash® and which functional areas are to be covered.

Application in target animal species

Ornamental birds

Parent and breeding animals: receive Immun-o-flash® via grain, soft, or sprouted feed for a period of approx. 3 weeks. After a three-week break, Immun-o-flash® is administered again for a period of 7-14 days. To prevent irritation from the known APV virus, administration should begin at least three weeks before egg-laying. It is important in this context that the application extends beyond the entire laying phase. This form of application can be repeated several times a year without hesitation.

Young birds: freshly hatched young birds from the first clutch usually receive Immun-o-flash® via the parents' food for a period of at least 10 days. Administration to young birds of the second and third brood can make sense in the event of corresponding viral irritations. Special attention should be paid to the occurrence of PBFD virus (feather disease). To prevent the loss of tail and flight feathers, Immun-o-flash® should be used as a support throughout the breeding area. This means: the parent animals receive Immun-o-flash® from the first day of the chicks' lives until the young birds fledge (throughout the entire nestling or nest box phase).

Simultaneous administration of the re-scha products "Frucht-mash" and "Tarsin" in equal parts has proven very effective in practice.

Racing pigeons

Strengthening the immune system of parent birds can have a positive effect on their offspring. Therefore, the parent birds should primarily be supplied with Immun-o-flash® first. The administration of Immun-o-flash® before the mating season has proven effective. Thus, Immun-o-flash® is given for a period of approx. 2-3 weeks before the start of breeding. It is optimal if the administration falls within the egg-laying period. This application can be repeated several times a year, even with a shortened application time, without hesitation.

Young birds: freshly hatched young birds are supplied with Immun-o-flash® via the parents' food for a period of 7-14 days. Simultaneous administration of PT-12 should not be forgotten during this phase. Weaned young pigeons receive Immun-o-flash® at irregular intervals (6-8 weeks) for a period of 7-14 days. In case of irritations with the so-called "young pigeon disease", young pigeons receive Immun-o-flash® for at least 14 days, starting at least 8 weeks before the beginning of the young bird flights. Simultaneous administration of PT-12 makes a lot of sense in this context.

Racing pigeons (old and young pigeons): receive Immun-o-flash® for a period of 2-3 weeks, approx. 4-6 weeks before the start of the racing season. The supplementary feeding of Immun-o-flash® should be completed approx. 1 week before the start of the training flights. During the racing season, Immun-o-flash® can support a "booster effect". It makes sense to resort to Immun-o-flash® if the racing pigeons have had an extremely difficult flight or show physical "downtime". This application is possible without hesitation three to four times in the racing season over a period of 2-3 days (beginning to middle of the week).

Terrarium animals, small rodents and ornamental rabbits

A functioning immune system can react much more effectively to stimuli from the living environment. The immune system is challenged by transport stress, feed changes, or physical exertion, which often occur in breeding, as well as with skin and scale formation and during moulting. Terrarium animals, small rodents, and ornamental rabbits initially receive Immun-o-flash® via their food for a period of approx. three weeks as an initial dose. After a break of approx. three weeks, Immun-o-flash® is administered again for a period of approx. one week. This application option can be repeated several times a year: the larger the application interval, the longer the application time.

Dosage and administration

The recommended dosage is approx. 8-10g per kg of grain feed. If administered via sprouted or rearing feed (bird area!), the dosage should be increased. When administered via sprouted or rearing feed, the dosage should be chosen so that general feed acceptance is still ensured.

Negative effects of an overdose (even over a longer period) on animal health are not yet known.

1 level filled measuring spoon contains 3g Immun-o-flash®. This means: 3 measuring spoons/kg grain feed correspond to the recommended dosage.
Immun-o-flash® is best bound to the feed with the help of re-scha's "Frutin". However, it is also possible for individual application per bird to simply sprinkle Immun-o-flash® into the feed or mix it in dry. Detailed mixing instructions can also be found in the "Frutin usage information".
