Why do you guys give your chickens apple cider vinegar?

Hi
I believe those wormers are also made from naturally occurring bacterias.

Did it on rabbits, chickens and sheep....and it's been true for me each time. Some notable race horse breeders use it for the same reason.

I mainly use the unpastuerized ACV as a probiotic immune system booster, a source of potassium, calcium and Vit. C, and it improves the taste of my eggs.

this is also supposed to happen to women who use a viniger douce end up with more girls than boys p.s when i went to dr he said quit using it after sex to clean up as it kills spearm haha was young and dumb.

It is said that -
Apple Cider vinegar benefits are:
*Reduces intestinal and fecal odors.
*Aids in digestion.
*Helps to break down minerals and fats.
*Assists the animal to assimilate proteins.
*Assists the animal to convert food better.
*It lowers the pH of the digestive tract which will make an environment less welcoming to pathogens therefore may reduce common infections and increases resistance to disease.
*Improves stamina and fertility.
*It is a great overall tonic that will improve the general well being of the animal.
If started while Birds are young (1-1/2 to 2weeks), birds
*Will feather out quicker.
*Are hardier.
*Grow to their potential sooner when used with an adequate feed.

Apple Cider Vinegar is rich in the vitamins, minerals and trace elements found in apples, especially potassium. It will normalize pH levels in the stomach, improve digestion and the assimilation of nutrients.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) wont work as a "Natural" Wormier it has little affect on worms.

As for what type of Apple Cider Vinegar to use, any type of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar with mother (It doesn't have to be organic) will work.

Cautions:
Do not use metal water dishes (except stainless steal).
Vinegar should not be used internally with animals that have an irritated lining of the intestinal tract.
Do not use Apple Cider Vinegar wile treating for worms or coccidiosis.
