Gertie Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi I'm wondering whether to buy some of this. I saw it on a site that says it can be used instead of antibiotics. Has anyone used it and is it any good? I don't want to spend £16 otherwise! Thanks Erika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Erika Never heard of it, have you got a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Chucky I just found it on a poultry site http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Herban_Liquid.html not sure if that is how I can post a link but hope that's ok! Sounds like it could be good if it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Perhaps someone with a wiser head will be on in a while But I like FSF, I think they have a good name, and whenever I have shopped there I have found them straight and helpful. Furthermore they do go out of their way to recommend it, so .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I use it in rotation with lifeguard and ACV. No idea whether it does any good but feel I am giving them a good chance. Started after one of my chickens had coccidiosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I've not tried it with my chooks but have heard nothing other than good reports about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 If I could buy only one supplement, this would be it without question. I don't know about it being used in place of antibiotics, but I've used it to treat cocci in preference to coxoid or baycox and can say hand-on-heart that it works. I was using the maintenance dose on my LF until recently, but I again I tend to only use it at times of stress or for a specific need. I've been using it with my chicks for the past two seasons instead of protexin (another pro/pre biotic). It's also great for sorting out dicky tums. Yes, I'm a fan !
