    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    From my life expirians I can say that you should never expect that some one ells will resolve your problems! Especially governments in all its level. If you have a problem think about the most effective solution, and the ways to achieve it and act Tirelessly to achieve it! Seat and waiting...

    Hello to all To establish a long lasting parents breeding flock, you need 20 resistant hens and 3 resistant roosters from each breed. I don't think that it is a unachievable goal. If you understand the dynamics of a first clash between a pathogen and a new population of hosts, you know that in...

    Thank you all for the explanations We in Israel, as far as my knowledge reach, don't experienced MD in the same intensity you experience it in the USA. I am an administrator in chicken forum here, and in all the years that I am a member I can say that only in one confirm case, we didn't...

    Thank you it is a very interesting article! I learn something new every day. But I have one reservation about the writer I don't know about the scientific objectivity of the publisher "Honeymark International" it seams that it is trying to sell me Manuka honey ...:)

    You're right , but the added value of the honey as a cure for wounds is the Hydrogen peroxide found in it.

    0.5 gram of Acidified Copper Sulfate for 1 liter of drinking water (1 gram/2liter) 5-7 days. I have read that the use of women anti- fungal,intimate cream makes a great treatment against fungal infection in chickens..........

    Hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant, and disinfectant don't discriminate between your cells or bacteria cells, and that is the reasons that all disinfectant use is externally only! Antibiotics on the other hand ( thous that are safe to human use!) do differ between Prokaryotic cells(bacteria...

    Honey contains Hydrogen peroxide which is the main mechanism of his damage in bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is not an antibiotic because it is a Bacteriocidic (=kills on the spot, by contact, its damage the cell membrane of cells) this make it a disinfectant and not an antibiotic! Antibiotics are...

    You must understand how the immune system work: the basic principal is that the immune system distinguish between self antigens(= proteins or glycoproteins that sticks out from the cell membrane ) and non self antigens. So for example if you drink a cup of milk you don't react immunology...

    I have read somewhere, that scientists from the Iowa State University are conducting a research on the Fayoumi disease resistance, I am not from the USA, so I think that it will be easier for you to get information from them. (If you do get some information it will be nice if you could share it!)

    This is the idea! I think that breeding Fayoumis whit outer breed can raise the resistance against MD if the method of breeding and selection for resistance is implemented for several generations. But we should take in consideration the main characters of the Fayoumis : small eggs, good...

    I think that the Resistance of the Fayoumis is genetic and not something that can be transferred like the Turkey virus that give some immunity to chickens.

    This is the connection between Turkeys and the immunity of Chickens against MD: The MD vaccine is actually a Turkey virus, which is a cosine of the MDV. This virus don't heart chickens but do activate an immune response in chicken which gives them a partially resistance against MDV. Its not...

    This is a link to an article that deal with the most impressive resistance that the Fayoumi chicken breed have against MD. I think that this breed or maybe it crosses are a good choice in an area that is heavily infected with MD. http://www.jarvm.com/articles/Vol4Iss2/Duguma.pdf
