Hatching Addict
In the Brooder
After doing a lot of research into MG/MS and all the other similar chronic respiratory diseases, I am concerned about our chickens being exposed at our 4H chicken shows or even chicks that I order from hatcheries already having such problems. I have read that Denaguard can be used as a preventative of such diseases. Does it really work for that?
My main concern is if we do pay extra for chicks from MG- flocks and then show them in the 4H shows (which is really the main reason we started with chickens), my understanding is that it is highly likely that they will be exposed and likely contract MG/MS. If Denaguard is effective as a preventive as I have seen claimed...that would be great! I realize nothing is an absolute guarantee, but in this case the extra insurance would be a great comfort. I have read some of the older threads and I was wondering if anybody could give some current reviews of Denagard as a preventive.
Thanks in advance for any help.
