The benefits of ACV promoted good digestion, aids in eliminating bad bacteria, etc. ACV does not take care of a worm problem, nor prevent it. Google benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar for chickens and you will see first hand, the benefits. My grandparents swore by it, and I use it. 1 capful per gallon of water, every time I refill my waterers. I used to drink ACV myself before meals. It helps digest food and helped me better than probiotic products (once you get past the taste).

Actually, ACV *is* a probiotic, that's what the mother bacteria are.
You can use it on birds who just went through a course of antibiotics, or who need a boost of immunity. I use it on stressed and injured birds, like my button quail hen whose mate tried to kill her, stripped all the feathers off of her back and pecked a hole in the back of her head. Two weeks later and she's acting normal and has grown more than half the feathers back. Because ACV is non-dairy it's more digestible and safer than yogourt.[/QUOT

Yes ACV is a useful PROBIOTIC. My point was, that it works as good as Probiotic PRODUCTS you can buy (and less costly).
