Lincospectin

[Sharon1102]

Hi All,

I'm new in this Forum and also new in Pigeon Racing.

I wanted to ask if someone can advise me about the following. If I use the Lincospectin Injection for long distance how many days prior the race should I inject the pigeons. Also can you advise me for how long as well.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sharon and welcome! I don't know the answer to your question but have moved it to a forum where there should be some responses.

LINCO-SPECTIN

Sterile Solution
The Broader-Spectrum Treatment for Poultry

Nothing beats LINCO-SPECTIN Sterile Solution (lincomycin hydrochloride and spectinomycin sulfate) for bacterial infections in poultry. Not gram-negative bacteria. Not gram-positives. Not even the tough mycoplasmal infections. You can look for a better injectable product. You can even try combining others. But nothing beats the powerful combination of antibiotics in LINCO-SPECTIN.

Indications

For prevention and treatment of cholera, coryza, air sac infections caused by Mycoplasma species and E. coli, respiratory diseases, sinusitis and staphylococcosis.

Key Features

Broader spectrum: Combination of lincomycin and spectinomycin is especially effective on mixed bacterial diseases complicated by chronic respiratory disease
Outperforms tylosin, tetracycline, penicillin, potentiated sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones
Convenient and also available as a feed premix or soluble powder formulation

Packaging
LINCO-SPECTIN Sterile Solution
50-mL, 100-mL and 250-mL vials

Dosage/Administration

Inject subcutaneously 30 mg/kg of body weight every 24 hours for 3 days or once followed by a water treatment with LINCO-SPECTIN Soluble Powder. Withdraw from poultry 14 days before slaughter.

I wouldn't give them any antibiotics unless they had a problem, but that's just me. Medicine can stress their systems and some may have side-affects, which could cost you the race if you give them too close to shipping.

If the bird is sick, then why would you consider sending it to a race ?
