Anybody else tried these seeds? Have been using these seeds in place of Baycox etc....cant say for certain but so far during all our wet weather up here no losses as yet... Will be buying more I think as it does look promising instead of using meds for Coccidiousis...

I have not heard of it either Craig but a little research and yes it does seem to have great natural properties. Grown in Africa, namely Uganda and seems to be used throughout Europe to prevent coccidiosis. I do not believe in my drier climate I have no real problem with this but do believe in using as much natural seed as possible. There was an article posted on AFF I believe which said Perilla seed has similar benefits. I think breeders in this state have somewhat taken to MIke FIdlers natural herb mix. Not sure of the name.

Thanks, but $28 + Au a kilo? Think i will stick to my Solaminavit that supplies all those VM+A's. There is also that one they grow in Kununurra WA that has all those qualities but can't think of the name of it, tried to buy some when i was there but they wouldn't sell in small quantities. It might be the same seed, I did see chesnuts and yellow rumps getting into it in the crops. Craig.

It is noted as having similar qualities.

Hi Brett,
Fonio Paddy and Perilla are said to have the ability to give birds resistance to coccidiosis and cure them of it if introduced to infected birds.

I tried the Link - they dont send to Australia ( UK website) ---- I cant seem to find an Australian distributor. If anyone knows one, please share.
While we're at it Red & White Perilla is another seed of interest.
I also happened to stumble across a a previous AFF thread whilst googling which was a very interesting read. ( I hope the link works !
) viewtopic.php?f=42&t=9857
And for something sort of off topic... will irradiated seed germinate ? Hemp seed purchased legally from a well known Sydney supplier germinates, but doesn't seem to grow on... done purely out of curiosity of course
