Immune Factor
by Michael Gardner
Hello my name is Michael Gardner. I am Ed Gardner’s son. A while back he
asked me to do some research on the use of probiotic microbial formulas
specifically for exotic birds. I found several formulas, and some useful
information. Most products in the market today tout their ability to replace the
micro flora found in the gut of exotic birds. They are primarily a replacement
for lost micro flora due to anti-biotic use. This is common in animal
performance industries such as horse racing and greyhounds as well.
Remember that research on mammals such as dogs, cats, and rats can
translate to humans, but research on birds generally does not. We are simply too
different.” While the last statement in that paragraph is true, we have found
that our formula, which does not contain Lactobacillus, does work on pigeons,
tropical birds, poultry and many others with excellent
results.
We found that using our product in the kennel of a Gulf Greyhound Track
to wash out the pens and water bowls, we avoided a contagious case of kennel
cough. Every kennel (which contains approximately 60 dogs) came down with the
infection except the one where our product is used. The dogs were also given a
daily dose in their turn-out water bowls to drink. (When the threat of Kennel
Cough came each dog received 3cc of HEALTH-GARD directly down the throat for 3
days). The kennel experienced an increase in the win ratio and a slight
reduction in feed bills as well.
In the case of pigeons, the results are even more impressive. When
pigeons are shipped around the country to participate in convention races and
one loft races they are exposed to birds from all over and this is a prime
opportunity to spread infection. In cases where entire lofts were almost wiped
out due to Circo Virus, every one of the birds using our formula survived. Not
one single bird of ours succumbed to the disease when birds were falling dead
all around them.
One thing is for sure, our diverse microbe water catalyst formula will
attack and destroy any foreign bacteria, thus preventing infections before they
start. In my opinion, this should be a primary concern in the aviary. It is less
costly to prevent a problem by using our product than it is to call the vet and
maybe even lose a bird.
What sets our product apart from the rest is the added catalyst. This catalyst is added to
speed up the process of “good” bacterial growth. We have discovered that it
also benefits the existing “good” bacteria already found in the birds’ system.
For The Birds Immune System Breeders of exotic birds report that fertility and
hatchability improve. Birds have less sickness and health problems. Feather
quality, color and general well-being is enhanced. Veterinarians observe that
infections quickly respond to treatment and wound healing
improves.
