Apple Cider Vinegar !

Apple cider is the fermented juice of the apple when exposed to air. The sugar in the apple is converted to alcohol. When alcohol is exposed to oxygen, bacteria called vinegar bacillus converts the alcohol into acetic acid.

How much to use?

Vinegar can be added daily to your birds via drinking water; the dose is 2 CC / Liter water
If you use it for treatment or for fatty birds the dose is 5 CC/ liter water
This is what I think, I remember my brother alvahmawi is using 10 CC/Liter of water in a regular basis but not daily (every week I think), and increase it to 20 CC/liter water for treatment, the idea is that, if your birds are managing this amount keep using it. Too much, you will notice that on your bird’s health.

Always remember to use the unpasteurized, naturally fermented, and unfiltered raw vinegar
