Extracts from pigeon fanciers’ testimonials

“Since 2014, except for vaccinations, I only use the bioworx products and' experienced the following:

• General health of the pigeons is excellent!

• Significant improvement in feather quality.

• Returns excellent.

• Pigeons perform better.

• Chickens in an excellent condition.

• No canker or respiratory treatment needed, not even in very hot weather.”

“During the 2014 racing season no other products such as vitamins, antibiotics, health and de-worming products were used. Only bioworx ANIPRO Aqua was used.

Although it sounds impossible the general health of the loft was of such an extent that no sick pigeons were noticed. From 15 May to date it was not necessary to give any medicine to my pigeons. The pigeons were only given the vaccinations as required by the NEC union. A marked improvement in performance was also observed.”

improve your health.

Gut Health & Pigeon Performance

The health, immunity and performance of pigeons, whether it’s racing, breeding or moulting,

are mainly dependent on the quality of food they eat as well as an

optimal functioning

digestive tract

.

Characteristics of an optimal functioning digestive tract

• An undamaged mucous lining

• Proper digestion of food and

• Optimal absorption of nutrients

Prerequisite for an optimal functioning digestive tract

• Optimal number of friendly micro-organisms / probiotics* in the digestive tract.

These micro-organisms / probiotics

* do the following:

- They improve immunity and prevent damage to the mucous lining of the digestive tract by keeping the bad / pathogenic micro-organisms under control through competitive exclusion and by producing antibiotic substances that inhibit them. An undamaged mucous lining will prevent toxins to end up in a pigeon’s blood.

- They also produce enzymes that assist the proper digestion of food into assimilablenutrients.

What can destroy an optimal functioning digestive tract?

•  OVERUSE of ANTIBIOTICS!!!! – See Appendix 2

The overuse of antibiotics as a disease prevention strategy is counter-productive because:

- It destroys the good bacteria in the digestive system that results in a lowered immunity and negatively influences the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients.

- It accelerates the tempo at which pathogenic organisms become resistant against the available antibiotics.

Requirements for a healthy pigeon with an optimal functioning

digestive tract

• Don’t overuse antibiotics. Only use when really needed.

• The regular use of bioworx ANIPRO Aqua – A probiotic drink water additive.

Benefits of bioworx ANIPRO

Aqua

• Healthier pigeons

• Lower running costs

• Better performance

* A probiotic is a micro organism (eg. a bacterium) that positively influences the host by promoting

a healthy and effective functioning digestive system.
