That is why we have the FDA, so professionals with the proper means and a large information base, can properly test this stuff. Amateur flock owners have no way of knowing if something fed to the flock has adverse effects on animals or people. Will little Johnny get cancer after eating eggs from...

Label laws dictate that you can only claim and label what has passed with the CVM criteria below. Your product was only tested on and approved for horses and bulls. Jim said "Are we going to guarantee the eggs and meat from chickens fed Forco won't be harmful, no, of course not;..." This is...

Jim, why don't you have FDA approval for avian's for this product? Do you think the FDA would be interested in your approving/pushing this product for avian use without the FDA's approval? People, you are being spinned by someone that wants to sell their product. They couldn't care a less if it...

Sure it's up to you if want to experiment on your birds, but your on an open forum and pushing the use of a product that shouldn't be used on birds. The correct nutrition is the real answer. Your messing around with bacteria levels in the digestive track without consulting an avian vet. Your...

You didn't go high enough on protein, as you seen, it's starting to work. There still is the occasional mean bird that does like pluck, all my BR's are pluckers, but dawn peepers now, which stopped it.

Do what you want, but what I'm trying to impress is longevity. Will the chickens die sooner because they are given the wrong probiolic? Sounds like you didn't boost the protein in the feed for three months first. Why not feed the avains something that is designed for them instead of something...

You are not understanding my comment on fish, read the red parts. Imagine that, a manufacture/salesman that wants people to buy their product. Labeling in the US is required to say what animals a product is safe to use on, Forco makes no product claims on the packaging their product can be used...

I said "The chickens may have had issues trying to digest the protein from fish." Just because a chicken will eat something doesn't mean it will benefit from it.

Looking at Forco's website, this product looks to be a probiotic. Avians need a specific type of probiotic, giving a horse probiotic to avians is not a good idea. This horse stuff may be doing internal damage to birds. Forco's website also says "There are no supplemental vitamins, minerals or...
