Diagnostic Education Kit
Learn Basic Techniques in Microscope Use and Pathogen Identification as well as correct Treatments once the Pathogen is identified
“Correct diagnostics are the key to correct treatments…for those aviculturists and herpetologists with the urge to take control of the potential health problems in their collections, improve their quarantine procedures and partake in responsible medication practices by using a more scientific and educated approach.”
Dr. Danny Brown, BVSc BSc MACVSc (Avian Health)
“The short-term benefits of administering antibiotics to weak individuals of families should never be regarded as a long-term cure for these birds. Overall, it is the attention to detail, strict hygiene and good management practices rather than the use of medicines that remain the best long-term solution to strengthen and establish families of previously weak birds.
Dr. Rob Marshall, BVSc MACVSc (Avian Health)
With these 2 approaches in mind, you can now learn to identify in droppings the pathogens causing illness in your flock and administer the correct medication to allow breeding and reproduction to take place, insuring future generations of strong, healthy offspring with no need for medications in the future.

Any of you interested in using a microscope to monitor the health of your flock, there is a Yahoo e-group called Avian Microscopy. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/
The members in this group are knowledgeable with microscope usage and very helpful in making identifications of fecal slides as well as offering advise on purchasing a microscope, camera and supplies. I recommend joining this group. It will help you in maintaining the health of your flock
