All kinds of bacterial invasions today are one of the main reasons preventing the active breeding of poultry, regardless of the climatic features of the region. No exception is the breeding of pigeons, both for household and for decorative purposes. Like other animals, these birds are susceptible to a variety of infections, which only high-quality, highly effective drugs can overcome and prevent. One of these is the drug Nifulin forte. The drug has a fairly strong effect on the body of birds, but most poultry farmers use more expensive and less effective analogues. Today we will get acquainted in detail with the basic properties of Nifulin Forte, as well as the indications for its use for pigeons affected by various infections.
Nifulin forte: what is it?
Nifulin forte is a highly active medical drugs with a wide range of effects on the body. The active components of the drug have a positive effect, thanks to which in just a few days, almost any infectious lesion can be defeated.
The drug is characterized by a complex effect on the body, therefore it is often used both as part of general therapy at the height of the disease, and as a preventive measure to prevent all sorts of ailments in birds at different stages of their development. 
Most often, the drug is used to combat the following diseases:
- dysenteric disorders;
- salmonella infections of various etiologies;
- infectious gastroenterocolitis;
- colibacillosis;
- bacterial invasions caused by germs of childbirth Escherichia, Pasteurella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus.
Did you know? Pigeons were cultivated by man about 5 thousand years ago on the territory of ancient Egypt. Thus, these birds are one of the oldest representatives of the fauna actively used by humans in their activities.
The main indications for the use of the drug is the mass manifestation of the following disorders in pigeons:
- hoarseness;
- lacrimation;
- runny nose;
- diarrhea;
- conjunctivitis;
- apathy caused by general depressed state;
- decrease in reproductive potential.
Diarrhea, as an indication for the use of the drug "Nifulin Forte" The tool is a homogeneous powdery substance of yellow or brownish-yellow hue. Often Nifulin forte is produced in a tight and sealed plastic container, in packaging from 0.1 to 5 kg.We advise you to familiarize yourself with the list of diseases of pigeons that are transmitted to humans.
After ingestion, the drug is instantly absorbed into the circulatory system, so that in a short time the maximum therapeutic effect is achieved, the duration of which is about 12 hours.
In addition, the active substances are able to assimilate for a long time in the body, which is why the positive effect of the drug on the birds is observed over the next 7-10 days after stopping the therapy. 
Nifulin forte consists of the following components:
- metronidazole - 11% of the total mass;
- oxytetracycline hydrochloride - 2.5% of the total mass;
- Furazolidone - 1% of the total mass;
- lactose and other excipients - 75.5% of the total mass.
Also, Nifulin forte is not recommended for use by individuals suffering from various disorders of the liver, as this therapy may aggravate the general condition of the body. 
Active substances
The main active components of nifulin forte are oxytetracycline, metronidazole and furazolidone. Such a successful combination of highly active components contributes to the complex effect of the drug on a variety of invasions caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Consider next the main features of these substances and their nature of the impact on the body of pigeons.
Did you know? Pigeons are one of the few creatures on our planet that can give odds to man in mental activity. In numerous experiments, scientists from the Ruhr University (Germany) proved that the average pigeon is capable of processing the received information 250 milliseconds faster and making the appropriate decision on it than a human being.
Oxytetracycline
This substance is characterized by broad bacteriostatic and antibiotic properties. As a result, with its active use, a powerful antimicrobial effect is observed, as well as a noticeable local anti-inflammatory effect. 
When ingested, oxytetracycline is instantly spread through the organs and systems of the bird and, by passive diffusion, is incorporated into the cellular metabolism of the bacteria, disrupting natural protein synthesis. As a result, the death of bacteria and further destruction.
The substance is actively included in all sorts of drugs aimed at the treatment of a wide range of infectious invasions, like in birds, and other economic and wild animals. However, today many bacteria have acquired resistance to it, therefore, the use of oxytetracycline in its pure form is often impractical.
Consider the most popular species and breeds of pigeons, and in particular the Volga band, tippler, duty, peacock pigeons and Uzbek fighting pigeons.
Metronidazole
Metronidazole is a derivative of 5-nitroimidazole, which has a powerful antibacterial and antiprotozoal effect on the body, regardless of age and type of bird. Once in the body of an infected animal, the substance is actively involved in the metabolism of pathogen cells, interacting with DNA structures. 
As a result, metronidazole inhibits DNA nucleic acid synthesis, after which inhibition of cell proliferation is observed. Over time, this leads to the complete degeneration of the population of the pathogen inside the organs and systems of higher animals.
The compound is not toxic to higher animals, and is also characterized by instant absorption and a wide range of effects on various types of pathogenic microorganisms. In this case, the periodic introduction of the substance causes the regeneration of tissue damaged by infection.
Important! Metronidazole containing drugs are strictly forbidden to take together with disulfiram, as this can cause negative consequences for the nervous system, including complex neurological disorders.
Furazolidone
The substance is a derivative of nitrofuran compounds and is characterized by increased activity to a variety of bacterial infections in humans and animals, as well as many invasions of antiprotozoal nature. 
One of the most striking distinguishing features of furazolidone is its low resistance to microorganisms in combination with a long period of habituation. This makes it possible to use the drug for medicinal purposes for a long time.
Once in the circulatory system, the substance is instantaneously spread through various organs and systems, penetrating into the cell metabolism of the pathogen. Interacting with the enzymatic system of pathogenic microorganisms, furazolidone disrupts the processes of enzymatic metabolism and the production of enzymes important for bacteria, which causes rapid cell death.
Familiarize yourself with all the features of keeping domestic pigeons, and in particular in winter.
Drug benefits

Certain conditions are necessary for breeding and growing pigeons. Read more tips and tricks for building a dovecote, and learn how to make a pigeon feeder.
Week before hatching chicks
To prevent damage to the body of the newborn offspring by various bacterial ailments, Nifulin Forte must be introduced to all mature individuals in the pigeon house about a week before the expected hatching date of the chicks.
This makes it possible to completely destroy the pathogenic microflora, which has a positive effect not only on the viability of young offspring, but also on the development of strong general immunity among the entire population.
To this end, the drug is administered orally, with drinking water, no more than 1 time per day for 7 days. For this purpose, medicinal solutions are prepared from Nifulin Forte on the basis of 1 tsp. drug and 1 liter of drinking water. 
For diseases
In the case of the development of a variety of infectious diseases in the dovecote, the agent is administered orally with food. To this end, 2 g of powder is thoroughly dissolved in 1 kg of feed, after which the mixture is completely replaced by food for 7 days. In case of low efficacy of therapy, the procedure is repeated after 14 days.
Important! In order to increase the effectiveness of Nifulin forte when preparing medicinal mixtures based on feed, a small amount of vegetable oil should be added to them (1-2 tbsp. l / kg). This will help increase the susceptibility of the poultry's digestive system to the components of the drug.
Cautions
Despite the fact that Nifulin forte is a fairly safe preparation for the body of birds, its use should be aware of a number of cautions.
Mostly they relate to the interaction of funds with a variety of drugs, as well as all sorts of side effects caused by individual intolerance to the individual components of the preparation of the bird.
