In the Brooder
Dear all,
Avian Influenza is of course a huge concern for all keepers of birds, especially those that are highly susceptible. We have recently learned of a root extract from an east asian plant that has much scientific evidence confirming its efficacy as a neuraminidase inhibitor - which basically stalls further production of the virus.
Many of you I hope will gain great comfort from the information in our article. We look after hundreds of wild waterfowl and have seen several rescued sick swans and geese recover whilst in quarantined isolation. The product is given to all at the sanctuary on a weekly basis - in their water and feeders so as to provide help prophylactically. If AI is a worry and you are able to protect birds I strongly urge you to read the article and consider using the product yourself. It is called Baicalin and is cheaply available as a food supplement. There are many places selling the powder on ebay.com but Amazon in the US didn't seem to show the product. This is the link we used before we brought it in from China in bulk - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Baicalin-Scutellaria-baicalensis-Certificate-Supplement/dp/B09N1RQHLQ
The article is a long read - but very much worthwhile. We are in the UK and have only recently released this information - but it needs to be spread far and wide.
