Apple cider vinegar? Why? What concentration do you use?

What is the mother in apple cider vinegar?

 

[jerseygirl1]

It really isn't as gross as it sounds, its actually the fermented part of teh ACV that settles on the bottom of the bottle - very important to shake it up before you use it

'"Mother of vinegar" is a term used to refer to the mass of scum that forms on top of cider when alcohol turns into vinegar, or to the cloudy substance that sometimes develops in stored vinegar. It is actually bacteria and yeast cells that have died.'

So ACV from Wally world won't work at all?

 

[Beekissed]

Not unless it is unpasteurized. It still contains some great minerals and vitamins that will boost the immune system in that manner but won't have the probios that the UP ACV has in it.

THIS NEEDS TO BE A STICKY!!!! EXCELLENT INFO!

Apple Cider VinegarApple 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.
A few more benefits of Oral Apple Cider Vinegar 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 will 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.
I find the meat is also leaner due to the fats being converted quicker.
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.
Add 1/8-1/4 of a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar to every 4 fl ozs of water, or 1/8-1/4 cup per gallon of water.
