Turkeys

Large flocks of turkeys kept intensively can suffer with all sorts of problems, Coccidiosis, Erysipelas, Mycoplasma & Blackhead. These can be parasitic, respiratory or intestinal problems. The major risk for turkeys is Blackhead, especially in small flocks that are kept along side chickens, as they can be carriers for the Histomoniasis worm. Therefore the two should not be kept together. Blackhead can also be brought into the free range flock by wild birds. If you encounter the first signs of Blackhead, we can send you the treatment remedy or you can keep in stock a 30ml spray to use in a "First Aid" situation. Avian Health (Turkey) includes the Blackhead remedy. Start when you get your poults. We have had extremely positive results, with easier plucking & good presentation for Christmas turkeys over the last two years. Also using Avian Stress Relief before depletion can keep the turkeys calm. Making the remedy Flock Specific for your turkeys, will help rebalance your turkeys energetically, leading to an improved immune system & well being.

The turkey industry will not be any easier this year with the price of pullets, feed, labour and over heads all rising. It's a year when the birds must do their best and convert their feed as efficiently as possible. They must perform at their optimum level of health to achieve this. At Crossgates we endeavor to help you achieve your targets by providing Bioenergetic Remedies, Feather Testing and Natural Supplements.

Healthy birds are very important to your farming enterprise as this means less expense and increased profit. The phasing out of certain antibiotics and the undesirability of toxins in the food chain present the industry with a serious challenge. More than ever, the imperative is to produce a high quality, cost effective product. Bioenergetics could give you the advantage.

The unavailability of certain preparations and antibiotics has made breeding and rearing more difficult at a time when profits are at a low level. We successfully assist a variety of farms, both conventional and organic with Bioenergetic Health Programs.
