SeramaSilly Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 One of my seramas has just finished a three week course of Tylan for persistant myco symptoms and I read somewhere (on here) that you could buy a product to replace the good bacteria killed in their gut by the antibiotics - does anyone know the name please?

The Dogmother Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 There are various products for that.. Beryl's; Nettex Gut Conditioner... If you ferment your own Kefir, then feed them some grains of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmKing Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Generally, they are called probiotics. Their are many types: lactic acid bacteria, bacillus subtilis, S. boulardi etc. You can also make your own probiotic from rice water and milk. See how to here.

rachel84 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 My vet recommended Beryl's that you can buy from the Chicken Vet website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Beryl's is great stuff, but rather smelly and delivered in a chill-bag package so you have to be there to take it. Here we use Avipro Avian which has to be bought in England and then delivered by visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura007 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The thing with probiotics is that they generally only contain one strain of bacteria, so will only replace /replenish that particular strain. It is difficult to know which needs replacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I’ve found both avipro avian and beryls bacteria to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is difficult to know which needs replacing. Also a reason to use an avian probiotic rather than homemade one or live yoghurt which can cause bigger problems imo.
