Prolonged exposure to light and air may cause components of the product to oxidize resulting in reduced activity and potential non-acceptance by the pigeons.
Is Orego-Stim Pigeon compatible with other products including antibiotics?
Research and field observations have indicated that the incorporation of Orego-Stim Pigeon in conjunction with products such as enzymes, acids, amino acid chelates, antiseptic compounds and/or any of the regularly used therapeutic antibiotics, has a somewhat synergistic effect and enhanced levels of performance within production systems have been observed by commercial units worldwide.
The only contraindication for the use of Orego-Stim Pigeon, due to its mode of action, is that it is highly unsuitable for inclusion simultaneously with products containing live yeast.
Should I not use probiotics with Orego-Stim?
Essentially the active components of Orego-Stim will have the effect of killing a proportion of probiotics that contain live bacteria or yeast, making them ineffective for their intended purpose. But studies have shown that Orego-Stim in combination with probiotics actually boosts the growth of beneficial bacteria, which is continuously replenished at a higher rate due to the absence of pathogenic bacteria and so the process of competitive exclusion takes its natural course.
Can pigeons overdose on Orego-Stim Pigeon?
There is NO possibility of overdosing animals with Orego-Stim Pigeon, as its aromatic properties will make it too spicy for the pigeon to consume at a point when it is mixed in the water in too large an amount. So if a mistake occurs in the mixing process and the quantity of Orego-Stim Pigeon that is mixed into the water is more than it is supposed to be, the pigeons will simply refuse the water. So once the problem is recognised, all you have to do to rectify the situation is to further dilute the water accordingly to achieve the correct inclusion rates.
