THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS
BETTER THAN THE COPY.
Ever since its beginning, more than 30 years ago now, Comed has started
using smart supplements and can therefore claim the indisputable vision-
ary leadership concerning a medicine-free approach of keeping pets and
hobby animals healthy and increasing their performance.

Wheat-germ and garlic oil, respectively used for fertility and purification,
have been known for ages. But by creating Comedol (Fine Oil), Comed has
also been the first to emphasize the importance of a balanced omega-oils
formula for an optimal metabolism, to keep the animals healthy and to
improve their performance. Almost every company has followed this vi-
sion and now everybody has a similar composition in their product range .

The same goes for the revolutinary intestinal conditioner Cometose. Each
competitor quickly knew that these formulas were far more important for
the performances than administering antibiotics. But Comed will never
completely reveal its secret. Fortunately, the new legislation does not
oblige us to divulge every detail of our intellectual property. And that way
the saying the original is always better than the copy still holds more
than ever.

Vegetable products are very important. They can help strengthen the
natural resistance. They contributed a lot to not blindly using and not sys-
tematically messing with antibiotics.

As a pharmaceutical manufacturer and wholesaler, Comed has never re-


gistered antibiotics as a matter of principle. We are still looking for
medicine-free solutions, which means we want to keep animals
healthy in a strictly natural manner.

VISION AND MISSION
SCIENCE - ADVICE - INSIGHT - CONFIDENCE
Biography Jean-Louis Jorissen
In 1976 Jean-Louis Jorissen founded Comed
nv, a wholesale business for veterinary instru-
ments and animal medication. He developed
his own product range for pigeons and other
animals. At the end of the eighties, Jean-Louis
Jorissen specialised as an Industrial Pharma-
cist at Liège University.
At that time, Linus Pauling promoted a scientific movement that combined
medicine and nutrition. Before this, medical training paid hardly any at-
tention to the links between pathology and nutrition. Today the entire
medical sector is convinced of the vast importance of widening the funda-
mental research in the field of orthomolecular nutrition.
This inspired Comed to develop a range of products for animals.

Basic activities of Comed NV are:

the distribution of animal medication

the development of new products in line with


the latest research

the manufacturing of products for pigeons,


fancy pigeons, birds, horses,dogs and cats as
well as products for human consumption
Comed wants both professional and amateur breeders to reach
the top with as little medication use as possible. Our products are 7
the result of vision and research.
We want everything that we produce to earn its “quality label”. Thanks to
this philosophy, Comed products are without comparison.
An exceptional friendship
My friendship with expressive artist José
Vermeersch (1922-1997) has influenced
my professional life on a spiritual level.
José was a “flandrien” , a strong, silent
and persistent worker, endlessly in search
of unpretentious quality. His clay statues
reflect, in a touching and uncomplicated
way, man in his naked simplicity: bodies of all shapes and seizes with inde-
finable age but running to seed since birth. Only eyes, hands and feet are
strikingly perfect…
Next to the mission that one needs to have as an entrepreneur, there is
also the practice of enterprise. It is Comed’s mission to keep animals safe
and healthy without the abuse of antibiotics. From our numerous discus-
sions on the practise of enterprise, José Vermeersch and I derived three
qualities that should be united in any company: chaotic thinking, planning
and execution.
Ordo ab chao (order out of chaos)
This conclusion led to the design of three
statues which represent the human
characteristics by which a company
functions. Unfortunately, José died a
few weeks after his 75th birthday and
so didn’t have the time to complete
this project. However, the design is a
nice keepsake and I gladly share the
memory with my precious Comed users.
8
I have studied and searched my entire life with great pleasure, both on a
spiritual and a scientific level, because I believe that in the new world of
tomorrow it is man’s essential and perpetual task to amass knowledge.
The older I get, the bigger the interest. Mainly because I discover links
between everything.
Serving society is the main objective, the mission

The more data is stored as ready know-


ledge, the more one is consciously “man”.
Life on earth is more easily understood
and that is a noble cause. Knowledge has
brought me happiness. Nonetheless, this
knowledge gathering is unpretentious.
Being smart is nothing to brag about on
its own, but has to lead to wisdom. Ser-
ving society is the mission.

In my field, I got a sort of chaotic spread of knowledge of the numerous


working substances in different domains. Links are felt subconsciously
and instinctively. This is essential in order to be creative: briefly seeing
the order in the unity of chaotic knowledge. Creatively solving medical or
nutritive problems happens spontaneously upon discovering a number
of links. Next, these creative suggestions are assessed for their feasibility.
The products have to work optimally and be bioavailable or absorbable,
have a long shelf life and be compatible with standard food stuff.
Strict regulations
The strict legislation and the production and trading of new preparations
is also discussed. The legislation is extremely complex. A laboratory has
to be well equipped and all apparatus needs to be inspected regularly.
There are very strict regulations for statements and claims on the labels.
9
Every player, be it the supplier of raw materials, the producer or distribu-
tor, is involved in an elaborate and detailed retracing system, enabling
verification of the quality and the safety of a product and its components
at any point. The slightest deviation needs to be detected so that action
can immediately be taken on all necessary levels . Only those who match
these strict procedures obtain authorization number. The Comed number
is BE 6338.
Team
It is a big advantage that my colleague François Duda and I complete
each other. We studied together and we became a well-oiled research
and development machine. I decide which new formulas we are go-
ing to develop based on input from the market, while François, the
patient scientist, technically adds the finishing touches to the pro-
duct. Since 2012, son Frederic Jorissen, also pharmacist, completed
the team. Finally, in 2015, Ilse Verstraeten completed the team (ma-
nagement, legislation, registration, development and communication).

The merit to the Comed range is therefore dedicated to our collaboration.

COMED HAS BEEN WARNING
ABOUT THIS FOR 40 YEARS...!!!
Antibiotics and resistance
When I started working in the 70s there was still a large
choice of recently developed effective and safe antibiot-
ics (penicillin had already been discovered in 1928). Anti-
biotics became very popular and their use grew to spec-
tacular proportions. However, by massively using these
antibiotics whether they were relevant or not, germs
grew more and more resistant.

At the same time, some 40 years ago, no new antibiotics were discovered
for reasons which cannot be explained. When research is done to find new
molecules, you also need some luck. As we know, penicillin was discovered
completely by chance when Fleming carelessly threw away a sample and
saw that after a few days a mould was dissolving a bacterial culture. Had
our luck run out in the mid-70s? Have we used all the points of action on
which bacteria can be dealt with? Since the chinolones (Baytril), no new
antibiotics have been taken to the market in almost 40 years, despite the
enormous budgets and massive university research.

Now we have entered a new era: microorganisms have caught up on us.


Man and animal aren’t safe anymore. After MRSA (hospital bacteria) we
now see ESBL-producing germs (also called the super bacteria). The latter
are capable of disintegrating our most commonly used antibiotics. They
can break open the beta-lactam compound within the active ingredient
amoxycillin, so it is not active anymore. The pathogens have won and the
antibiotic apocalypse has begun. In November 2015, Chinese scientists dis-
covered pathogens in pigs and chickens against which antibiotics are no
longer effective. Even before the post-antibiotics era had begun.
11
The problem of resistance is often caused by the fact that antibiotic cures
are not finished. The patient is feeling better, but the bacteria hasn’t disap-
peared from their body yet. The remaining bacteria are those
that could resist the antibiotic best and could find a way to survive.

When the cure is unfinished, these bacteria will multiply abundantly, and
their progeny will be harder to fight. Eventually, this will result in strains
that are completely resistant.

In humans, a resistant TBC has been able to develop amongst homeless


people, who have trouble finding or finishing a medicinal cure. That is why
in some countries TBC patients with resistant bacteria are forced to be ta-
ken to hospital in order to prevent a further spread and resistance against
even the strongest products.

Antibiotics and animals


What have we been doing with the animals ?

In animal breeding, and poultry breeding in particular,


they quickly noticed the growth-promoting properties
of antibiotics when administered to young breeding ani-
mals on a permanent basis. That way the habit arose of
using antibiotics as a standard fattening system in stock
breeding.
Indeed, due to the large concentration of animals on a limited surface –
because of economic advantages – there is an increase in stress and infec-
tion pressure. Infections spread rapidly, they inhibit the growth and the
turnover. Fertility problems were also noticed, often caused by dormant
infections as a result of intensive stock breeding. That is why preventive anti-
biotic therapies were introduced as a standard in the breeding schemes.

12
The smaller the animal, the greater the numbers in a group. There are no
individual treatments because they are not relevant or just too expensive.
That way it became evident that chicken farms applied a massive treat-
ment and blind antibiotic cures became standard. So the same medicines
that were used for humans were administered to large-scale chicken arms
(as well as to calves, pigs, etc.) in huge quantities. Especially in those coun-
tries where chicken used to be popular, such as South East Asia. Chicken as
a protein source can easily be produced, it tastes good and there are a lot
of ways to prepare it, so it is interesting on a culinary level.

Due to the population explosion of the last decades, there has been a huge
demand of proteins (meat), so there has always been a need for effec-
tive production techniques. The ethical problem of the resistance that was
caused by this phenomenon was pushed into the background. Just like
people getting a troubled conscience when burning fossil fuels, without
urgent proper measures being taken.
The flight forward ….

The abuse has to end NOW. In oktober 2016, the United Nation summit
in New York had the resistance against antibiotic high on the agenda. The
message of Comed for almost 40 years: no more breeding with or tuned
on antibiotics.
The turnaround: COMED METHOD
Resistance selection is a one-way street. Only a drastic
decrease of the excessive use of antibiotics can end the
increasing resistance. It is a task, both for doctors as for
the consumer, to safeguard the future of our modern
medicine. A reversal is possible, but the useless con-
sumption of antibiotics should keep on diminishing,
and everyone should contribute to this.
13
Save the current antibiotics, one day they can save your life … and your
grandchildren’s lives!
Abuses in animal breeding are the basis of this problem and they might
be the biggest cause of the fact that we are not able to help an increasing
number of people anymore. Bacteria that infect animals can infect humans
as well. They are also able to pass on their adaptive or resistance charac-
teristics to one another.

Everyone senses that this is irresponsible and that we cannot go on like


this anymore, but there are important economic arguments.

The animal sports world as well quickly appreciated the properties of an-
tibiotics. Fanciers were looking for “something strong” and it didn’t really
matter what it was … Three (antibiotics) -in-one (formula), four-in-one,
five-in-one mixtures were examples of a perverted habit. Often doubtful
treatments were applied, antibiotic cocktails which made you wonder how
these poor animals could even perform, despite almost being intoxicated
by antibiotics…

Back then, Comed started warning for this in its lectures and brochures…
Our vision
Our vision at Comed is based on sheer facts and it delivers an urgent mes-
sage:

Quit the negative past by ending the preventive use of anti-


biotics and by building a positive future with Curol, Winmix
and Roni.

Sport is to be practised with healthy animals … not with


unhealthy animals. This is only logical!

14
We removed the animal from its biotope (natural
environment).

Challanging sports make the animals ill by getting


them out of their biotope (cock fights and bull fights
are extreme examples, but we can also mention the
colouring of birds, the liberation of pigeons in bad
weather, …).
By messing with the animals’ way of life, man has caused all kinds of ani-
mal health problems.
Comed has been specifically focusing on dealing with these problems
almost for 40 years. The solution provided by “Comed Science” is a combi-
nation of philosophy and treatment (not a systematic antibiotic treatment
for infections caused by the sport itself): the COMED METHOD.

Without antibiotics, with Curol, Winmix and Roni leading to a better


result. Do we want to be the generation of forefathers with a questionable
reputation, who discovered antibiotics just to waste them in one genera-
tion by applying them without any use or sense? Or… will we be the gen-
eration that turned the tide, that was responsible enough as to put our
children’s health first ?

What we make

There is no other option now. No nostalgic


herbal popular medicine ... which often leads
to dangerous quackery. We use high-techno-
logical orthomolecular nutrition and scientifi-
cally approached aromatherapy.

15
During the demanding racing championship, we give the pigeons a very
good chance of being successful with the COMED METHOD (www.comed.
be). Pigeons that are not able, despite the COMED METHOD , are weak-
lings who do not belong in the team.

“The survival of the fittest” , following in Charles Darwin’s footsteps.


We do have to select the pigeons anyway, because for practical reasons we
cannot keep all of them.
“The survival of the fittest Comed-user”.

Willem de Bruijn

Willem de Bruijn was the early decider. With his


medical background (he is a dentist and his wife
is a medical doctor) he had been struggling for
years with the irrational use of antibiotics.

Almost 10 years ago, he quit the “crazy treatment


schemes” as he would call them, and he replaced
the antibiotics with Curol (an aromatics complex), Roni, Winmix and
Cometose. Year after year this has led to astonishing results. ((https://
willemdebruijn.nl/))

Comed is the minimum non-medicinal support you should provide a pi-


geon with, if you take it out of its biotope and thus burden it with possible
health consequences.

Often doubtful treatments were applied, antibiotic cocktails which made


you wonder how these poor animals could even perform, despite almost
being intoxicated by antibiotics…

16
The result with the COMED METHOD: not just as good, but clearly better
without antibiotics.

Follow the COMED METHOD or drop hopelessly behind …!!!

COMED METHOD
RESISTANCE - SELECTION - METHOD (RSM)
This system uses three basic products and is derived from the Charles
Darwin principle. It strengthens your breed, it does not rely on the use of
preventive antibiotics and it yields even better results when combined
with Winmix, Curol and Roni.
THE COMED METHOD INCREASES THE NATURAL RESISTANCE OF THE
ORGANISM
A GOOD START...
The immune system of a pigeon develops when different organs start to
interact with each other to produce defence cells (lymphocytes) genera-
ting antibodies (immunoglobulin). When a bird hatches it can rely on the
natural defence mechanism which it inherits from the mother. These im-
mune defences will gradually weaken as the bird starts to develop its own
immune system after hatching. Unfortunately Circovirus (C.V.) is damaging
the immune system. In the first 2 months of the young birds live when the
passive immunity transfers to active immunity, the sac of Fabricius is a
reservoir of Circovirus : here the lymphocytes B are formed. After antigen-
ic stimulation they are transformed into plasmocytes migrating into the
blood. These produce imunoglobulins in the blood (humoral immunity).

If there is no seamless transition from one phase to the other then the
bird risks having a weakened immune system during weaning (immunity
gap). COMED METHOD ensures a healthy immune system at all times. The
COMED METHOD helps the young bird to successfully bridge this transi-
tion period during weaning.

19
Negative stress (weaning, grouping, vaccinations, an unhygienic environ-
ment, transport, etc.) can be detrimental to a pigeon’s natural immune
system. The COMED METHOD helps to strengthen the organism‘s natural
immune system. Our Comed products will help the young birds overcome
a potential weakness in their immune system.

ALL-IN-ONE FEED SUPPLEMENT
The first all-in-one basic preparation for racing birds
provides your pigeons with all the necessary vita-
mins, trace elements, essential amino acids, miner-
als, prebiotic enzymes, electrolytes and buffered
acidic PH values which stimulate the development
of good germs. It also contains proteins which aid in
developing a strong muscular structure and which
are indispensable in the pigeons early growth. It
also contains vegetable fibres for a better digestion
and plant extracts which benefit the pigeons overall

health. Each of Winmix’s active substances is in
perfect balance for it, to ensure an even and coor-
dinated effect. Winmix is highly absorbable and
is 100% effective. Winmix gets and keeps your pi-
geons in the best shape.

Use:

1 tablespoon (15 g) per kg of feed.


If necessary use daily.

23
RONI
ACIDIC INTESTINE = HEALTHY INTESTINE
Roni is a product for the mucus membranes in the
beak, the throat and the digestive system. It is an
excellent product which stimulates the good intesti-
nal flora and promotes good digestion. It is an active
intestinal conditioner and a perfect complement to
Cometose.

Roni contains probiotics, yeasts and intestinal an-


tiseptics. We know that germs avoid acidic environ-
100 g - 275 g - 1 Kg
ments which explains why apple vinegar has been a
popular remedy against intestinal disorders. However,
apple vinegar will in general only kill germs in drinking
water; this weak acid hardly serves any purpose in a
pigeon’s digestive system.
Roni’s special prebiotics and enzymes stimulate the flora which produce
lactic acid, which in turn keeps acidity levels high even in the small inden-
tations of the intestine walls. Roni promotes efficient digestion, which
results in the pigeons eating up to 25% less feed. Roni transforms fat
reserves into useable intramuscular fat, which is crucial for performance
(see page 26).
This is especially important for pigeons which race
on the natural system, since they gain more weight
due to fewer training races, compared to the
widowers, which train twice a day. An active sub-
stance derived from garlic breaks up mucus clusters,
which would otherwise enable the germs to fend
off the defence mechanisms of the intestinal walls.

24
Roni is an excellent acidifier for the intestines and it provides basic care.
Along with the activated garlic extracts Roni keeps the intestines in good
health throughout the season.

Use:
10 g per 2 l of drinking water (the solution is slightly trouble).
Can also be mixed into the feed (10 g per kg of feed).
If necessary use daily. See scheme for the best possible use.

THE ROLE OF FAT


A pigeon which is very active tends to eat a lot of grains which are high
in fat. That fat acts as an energy source. If the pigeon is given feed
supplements which are also high in fat, for instance oil, then it will
perform better. Based on the positive effects on the pigeon’s shape and
overall health we recommend a daily portion of Comedol (Precious
Oil) to increase their fat intake, which they need to top up the energy
reserves in their muscles. Fanciers who prefer to add supplements in
powdered form can use Comedol to moisten the grain feed, which will
help the supplements stick better.

A pigeon became a flying creature simply because it meets a number


of fundamental and logical criteria. Racing birds however need to have
some additional skills.

- They have to be able to release much energy through burning fat


for hours on end.

26
- They have to avoid birds of prey, fly with the pack, take off quickly
and be able to change direction.
- They have to be light (hollow bones).
- They have to orientate themselves based on the earth’s magnetic field.
- They need excellent eyesight.
- They have to be able to reproduce, their youngsters have to
develop quickly.
- They have to …

How can we support and positively influence each of these features?


By adding oils (fat) to their diet!

Fat, carbohydrates and proteins are sources of energy which are supplied
to the pigeon through their feed. Their nutritional value is measured in
calories. We know these values from our human diet and we’ve all heard
the doctor‘s advice which says: if you are overweight you need to lower
your calorie intake.

These are the nutritional values:


For 100 g fat: 900 kcal
For 100 g sugar: 400 kcal
For 100 g protein: 400 kcal

As you can see, fat provides 2.2 times as much energy per gram as sugar
(carbohydrates) or proteins, which makes fat the perfect, light energy
source for a flying creature. However, a pigeon also needs to be able
to release these vast amounts of energy contained in fat, which is only
possible by consuming large amounts of oxygen.

27
HOW IT WORKS
A racing bird is an incredible flying machine; high performance and no com-
parison to us humans!

The most important and most powerful energy source for this flying ma-
chine comes in the form of lipids ( = oil, fat). Most energy-rich fat molecules
are stored in the red high-endurance chest muscle tissues. The glycogen
molecules (carbohydrates = sugar), which are kept in the white muscles in
the wings, are a secondary hybrid energy source and are less potent; they
can be used only for brief periods due to increased lactate levels associated
with increased effort (steering, landing, taking off).

The lipids will bind with inhaled oxygen,


generating ATP, (which acts as a battery),
that will enable the pigeon to fly for hours
on end, while emitting innocuous carbon
dioxide. Pigeons can draw vast amounts
of oxygen from the air compared to hu-
mans (about 10 times as much). Cereal
grains and legumes contain only 3 - 10%
fat (oils) and 60 - 70% carbohydrates
(starch). Proteins contain nitrogen
and will not usually act as an energy
source. The breakdown of proteins
is only possible in case of emergency
and is undesirable because it produces
ammonia, which in turn neutralises
the acids in the digestive system
which protect the system against
pathogenic germs.

28
That is why we recommend the use of these important oils (Comedol,
Curol) as part of our Comed racing diet.
It has a limited range of use due to its liquid form (max 15ml/kg grains).

That is why we developed Comed Load Pul (powder) and Load Caps
(capsules). These body-like lipids are easy to digest and are simple in use,
both in powdered form or capsules and can be given in large quantities.
Load Pul and Load Caps are invaluable supplements for middle and
long distance racing birds.

Increased UV light absorption is known to stimulate the storage of lipids


in the muscles!

LOAD PUL/LOAD CAPS
ENERGY - SOLID FAT

Load Pul / Load Caps provides pigeons with energy


in a very peculiar form, with microscopically small fat par-
ticles which are stored mainly in the heart and chest mus-
cles. These fat particles create a form of energy reserve
which can be retained in the muscles for a long period of
time (during transport), only to be used during the race it-
self. That significantly increases a pigeon’s energy reserve,
which in turn leads to unique performances.
300 g (see also above see page 26)

Use:
Load Pul: 1 level tablespoon (10 g) per kg of feed per
200 km, not more than 4 tablespoons (40 g).
Load Caps: 1 capsule per 100 km, do not use more
than 8 capsules after another. Do not let them fly out af-
terwards.
If necessary use daily.

COMETOSE
WELL-BALANCED INTESTINAL FLORA –THIRST

Intestinal conditioner against watery droppings.


Cometose is a plant-based bioproduct with remark-
able properties which help keep the pigeon’s intestinal
flora in balance (ensuring an optimal acid pH value dur-
ing digestion). Cometose regulates the intestinal
transit and leaves a protective film on the intestinal mu-
cous membranes. Cometose consists of the probi-
otic germ Bacillus Subtilis, prebiotics, Kelp, active fibers,
ferments, electrolytes, etc.. The fibers retain water and
swell up, causing them to create a particular beneficial
“sausage of water containing slime”, functioning like an
250 g - 900 g
extra tank.
This is extremely important to prevent thirst during the race. The fibers
rub and clean the intestinal wall, thereafter slime -resembling that of the
intestine wall- together with the prebiotics and electrolytes- is left behind
as a protecting layer. Pathogenic germs get stuck in this slime ( agglutina-
tion), preventing them to reach the intestinal wall and will be expelled
together with the droppings. Cometose, by cleaning the intestinal
wall, optimizes the feed conversion (up to 25% less feed needed). Come-
tose is an ideal intestinal conditioner because of its acidity it inhibits
the growth of germs, while the present electrolytes that dissolve in the
retained water prevent dehydration in the case of diarrhea.

Use:
1 tablespoon (15 g) per kg of feed.
In case of watery droppings you can increase the dose to 2 to 3
tablespoons per kg of feed. If necessary use daily.
See scheme for the best possible use.
34 Never add to drinking water! (not soluble)
PHYTOCUR
IMMUNITY
Phytocur strengthens the pigeon’s immune system.
To be used preventively when the pigeons are under a
lot of strain (the racing or breeding season) or after a
disease. It contains specific natural essential oils and is
an ideal substitude fot preventive antibiotics.

Use:

10 ml per kg of feed or 5 ml per l of drinking water. (*)


250 ml - 500 ml - 5L
If necessary use daily.
See scheme for the best possible use.
(*) If pigeons sit together crouched down, without eat-
ing much, Phytocur should be added to their drinking
water.

HEMOGLOBAL
IRON
Hemoglobal is a powder which contains absor-
bable iron, which enables the blood to carry more
oxygen. As a result it can endure larger workloads. It
accelerates the speed at which pigeons recover. To be
used for weakened or sick pigeons and for youngsters.

Use:

1 tablespoon (15 g) per kg of feed.


250 g
If necessary use daily.
See scheme for the best possible use. 35
Never add to drinking water!
TEMPO 60
CONDITION
If your pigeons do not get enough training you can give
them Tempo 60 every day, until they can stay in the
air for 45 minutes. Training is a fundamental require-
ment when it comes to gaining condition (the forma-
tion of myoglobin which stores oxygen in the muscles).
Tempo 60 enables your pigeons to train longer. It
contains 32 different elements which a pigeon needs
every 24 hours, including proteins, vitamins, miner-
als, trace elements, etc. Even the slightest change
in the quality of their feed can disturb intestinal ab-
sorption. That is why we strongly recommend adding
300 g - 1 Kg
Tempo 60 to your pigeons‘ feed, combined with
Cometose, to make sure that all of these elements
are optimally absorbed. Tempo 60 will keep your
pigeons in good health overall. Tempo 60 provides
substances makes stronger and shiny feathers.
Use:
1 tablespoon (15 g) per kg of feed. If necessary use
daily. See scheme for the best possible use.
Never add to drinking water!

BATH SALT
FEATHER CARE
Our Comed bath salt is an excellent care product for
your pigeons‘ feathers. It contains refreshing essential
oils to improve the circulation.
Use:
1 heaped teaspoon (30 g) per 10 l of bath water every
week. Dispose of the bath water after 1 day. In case of
750 g hot weather you can bathe your pigeons more often.

FLORACOM
ECOFLORA: BENEFICIAL GERMS
Floracom consists of germs who have been washed
off of natural herbs and plants grown in an optimal eco-
logic environment. These natural germs create a natural
resembling loft climate for your pigeons. That product
can be used in several different ways. Outside use: as
a spray in the loft, on the floor and the grids and to be
sprayed directly onto the pigeons.

Use:

Power Supply: 10 ml per kg of feed.


Breeding: use daily starting 3 weeks before pairing and
1L
until 3 weeks after weaning.
Racing season: daily throughout the entire racing season.
Loft climate: Dilute ten times with water (e.g. 100 ml for
1 l of water); to be used as a spray around the entire loft.
If problems arise use 2 to 3 times a day, or else 2 to 3
times a week.

Floracom is safe. It can be used all year round for as


much as you like. It creates an natural environment.

Important: avoid any contact with chemical substances


(e.g. antibiotics). That will kill these beneficial germs.
When used as a spray please use a new or sufficiently
cleaned spray pump with fresh and clean water, use
Comed Clean products. This product should be
stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
37
A PIGEON LOFT IS NOT A HOSPITAL…

Racing birds do not need any additional medicines when using the COMED
METHOD, apart from the vaccinations carried out by the veterinary . The
championships are particularly demanding, as pigeons are expected to de-
liver increasing distances. That is why the racing birds are the most versa-
tile pigeons worldwide! Many fanciers have a large collection of pigeons
and they prefer not having to look after every single pigeon individually.
That is why the products in our COMED METHOD range can be easily add-
ed to the feed or to the drinking water.

After each race there will be a couple of pigeons which do not recover well:
they are crouched over, they barely eat or drink, they look fatigued and
they might be carrying pathogenic germs. These are all symptoms which
can indicate a developing disease. These pigeons are given an Ultracom
capsule every day; these capsules contain the most important and the
most potent elements in our entire range of Comed products for racing
birds.

Those pigeons should be individually checked and examined every day


and administered a Ultracom capsule if needed. They should be back in
full shape after a few days, even before being basketed again. Antibiotic
treatments during the season are not recommended, as this breaks down
the pigeon’s sensitive intestinal flora, which takes months to fully recover.
Short antibiotic treatments (2 to 3 days) are even more dangerous, as they
will contribute to antibiotic resistance.

In the end, one must dare to make a decision that


“pigeons with a weak immune system do not belong in my loft”.

38
Good-quality pigeons have the best chance of being successful in the de-
manding and difficult racing competition if they follow the COMED METH-
OD. Pigeons which fail to deliver despite the COMED METHOD are weak-
lings which do not belong in your racing team.

Any fancier who adopts this approach consistently will soon be competing
at a higher level. This is our all-in-one health capsule.

ULTRACOM
10 IN 1
Ultracom contains a mixture of 10 active compo-
nents, which were selected for the following reasons:
1. to increase resistance
2. to support their immune system
3. to clear the respiratory system
4. to support the airways
5. to prevent watery droppings
6. to normalise digestion
7. to stimulate the development of good intestinal
bacteria
8. to get your pigeons in the best shape
especially before prize-winning races
100 caps 9. to support the muscles
10. to keep the joints supple

Use:
One capsule per pigeon a day to be administered in the
beak

39
PROBLEMS IN THE UPPER
RESPIRATORY TRACT?
Problems pertaining to the upper respiratory tract are always sparked by
the rhinitis viral infection, a member of the Pigeon Herpes Virus PHV1.
Due to its highly contagious nature, basically every pigeon carries herpes
antibodies.

After the initial infection (generally during hatching) the repeated flare-ups
of this disease will cause the upper respiratory tract to become vulnerable
to bacterial complications such as mycoplasmosis, trichomoniasis, Staphy-
lococcus aureus, Pasteurella septica and E. Coli.

That is why regular use of antibiotics is not a viable solution as it also dis-
turbs the ecosystem of the intestinal flora. Increasing the pigeon’s resis-
tance is much more important in protecting it against repeated flare-ups
of PHV1. Strong resistance is paramount.

Pigeons can find their way back home even under the most extreme condi-
tions, thanks to the very high functional reserve of their liver. As a result
pigeons can dig deep into their reserves both in training and prize-winning
races. That causes many fanciers to overlook the symptoms of a develop-
ing illness, and that can lead to severe losses (especially amongst young
birds). Particular attention should be paid to the triggers of PHV1: stress
(basketing, widowhood, etc.), temperature fluctuations, feed, etc. Fanci-
ers also tend to neglect the fact that parasites can play a crucial role in the
reactivation of PHV1. Parasites cause chronic stress and overall strain. We
often underestimate the negative impact they have on a pigeon’s fitness.

Stopmite is highly effective and easy to administer and it provides excel-


lent protection against a wide range of different parasites and flying insects
(see page 69).
40
LYSOCUR FORTE
OPEN RESPIRATORY TRACT
Lysocur Forte is a health cure with plant ex-
tracts which keeps the pigeon’s immune system in
balance. It is indispensable for getting your pigeons
in the best shape by the start of the season and
to keep them fit, as well as to keep the upper re-
spiratory tract open. It contains specific natural es-
sential oils and is an ideal substitude fot preventive
antibioties.

250 ml - 500 ml - 1 L
Use:

10 ml per 2 l of drinking water or per kg of feed. If


pigeons sit together crouched down, without
eating much, Lysocur Forte should be added
to their drinking water.
Before basketing, upon return from a race and once
in the middle of the week.
If problems arise: use daily for at least 7 conse-
cutive days.

Can be used as a spray: 30 ml per l of mineral water.

Important: for maximum effect use Lysocur


eye drops and Lysocur loft spray simul-
taneously.
41
LYSOCUR EYE DROPS
The Herpes virus enters the body through the eyes and nostrils. It is the
most important trigger for all the problems pertaining to the upper respi-
ratory tract. That is why Comed developed its Lysocur Eye Drops.
They consist of plant extracts which resemble the protective elements also
found in the well-known Curol health oil. The special properties of these
plants have been known for hundreds of years; they work against swollen
eyelids and other swellings.

Lysocur Eye Drops also contain propolis, a product made by honey


bees, as well as cornflower extract. Those two substances have been used
in traditional medicine for thousands of years for their soothing and anti-
inflammatory effects. It makes the pigeon more resistant to the Herpes
virus infection Coryza (Rhinitis).

Due to its viscosity and the way it has been manufactured, the Lysocur
Eye Drops will stick to the eye conjunctiva longer, thus providing instant
and durable relief for the pigeon.

Lysocur Eye Drops are particularly suited for young birds, which are
known to have very sensitive eyes.

Use:

Because we take young birds in the hand daily they are easy to domes-
ticate, which makes the Lysocur Eye Drops very easy to adminis-
ter. When the drops vanish quickly, the eyes are in excellent shape. If the
drops remain visible for a while, there is a problem with the highly sensi-
tive „third eyelid“ (the nictitating membrane). In this case the drops have
to be administered three times a day until the drops are absorbed at a
normal rate.
42
That means our Lysocur Eye Drops can be used both as a diagnostic
test and as a remedy. Lysocur Eye Drops are composed of registered
and certificated plant extracts which are guaranteed free from atropine.

Lysocur Eye Drops are free from medication or doping.

LYSOCUR
EYE CARE

Care product for the eyes, the nictitating membrane and


the nostrils of the pigeons.

Use:

One drop in each eye and each nostril before and after
the race.
If necessary use daily.
See scheme for the best possible use.
30 ml
Important: for maximum effect we recommend using
the Lysocur Loft Spray and Lysocur Forte
simultaneously.

Lysocur Eye Drops are free from doping.

43
WHY USE A SPRAY?
Fogging the pigeon loft is also useful for pigeon fanciers.

Mist spray suppresses the harmful down feathers and neutralises the
sebaceous matter it contains.
Lysocur Loft Spray is a perfect spray product and can be used as a
precautionary measure when working in the loft. (It prevents against the
development of silicosis, caused by floating sebaceous matter.)

When used as a spray the product will quickly reach the crucial areas of
the upper respiratory tract, instead of having to pass through the digestive
system first.

That allows the Lysocur Loft Spray to quickly enter the bloodstream
through the lungs where it will become fully effective. It avoids the so-
called first-pass effect of our metabolism, which would cause the product
to lose some of its effectiveness due to being partially broken down by the
liver.

The following products can be used as a spray:


Lysocur Loft Spray, Lysocur Forte, Clean Spray.

44
LYSOCUR LOFTSPRAY
LOFT CLIMATE

Lysocur Loft Spray sees to healthy air in your


pigeon loft. It has a sound effect on both the eyes
and the respiratory tract (scientifically proven).

Use:

Use Lysocur Loft Spray at regular times, espe-


cially on the day birds return home from a race.

Important: use Lysocur Eye Drops and Ly-


socur Forte as well to achieve the best possible
400 ml result.

FERTIBOL
EGG – SKELETAL GROWTH
BREEDING
Fertibol is a suspension containing calcium, phospho-
rus and vitamin A, D and E. It stimulates egg growth and
ensures successful egg hatching as well as perfect skel-
etal growth and stronger bones in young birds.

Use:

30 ml per kg of feed.
If necessary use daily.
See scheme for the best possible use.
500 ml - 5 L
Never add to drinking water!

Fertibol Vs. GRIT


Calcium and phosphorus represent 75 % of a pigeon’s minerals and are
the most important macro-elements along with table salt. Calcium influ-
ences muscular activity and phosphorus enhances energy generation.

Egg shells contain 97% calciumcarbonate. The skeleton contains 90 % cal-


cium and phosphorus. Grain feed is rich in phosphorus but contains nearly
no calcium. On an average day, pigeons need about 300 mg of calcium but
when they feed their youngsters with crop milk, that amount increases
to 650 mg a day, starting from the first up to and including the last day of
crop milk feeding. The amount of phosphorus needed is about 90 to 230
mg a day per pigeon. Pigeons are therefore always looking for calcium and
thus spend time picking at walls and cement, both good sources of these
mi-nerals. Because of that reason, fanciers do not only offer their birds
feed but as much grit as they can eat as well.

.
46
By giving them Fertibol – an excellent source of calcium – their craving
for calcium is reduced dramatically. Ground oyster schells are a well-known
source of calcium carbonate. However, they have the disadvantage of neu-
tralising the intestine’s acidity, weakening its protection against infections.
Oyster shells which are not yet fully rinced are sometimes contaminated
with bacteria, viruses (e.g. salmonella, E. Coli, etc.) or toxic phytoplank-
ton. The intestinal and neurotoxic problems related to that may disturb a
pigeon’s orientation. It becomes far more worse when oysters, because of
the contaminated sea water they filter out, contain quicksilver, lead and
cadmium. Those heavy metals do not just disrupt the development of the
highly susceptible young birds but also pose a danger to fully grown pi-
geons which run the risk of irreparable damage.

Comed offers fanciers Fertibol as an ideal source of pure calcium:

The buffered balance ration of calcium and phosphorus allows for


a maximum intake of those minerals, making Fertibol perfect
for fertilization, egg shell and skeletal growth.

The acid pH value guarantees a high degree of protection


against infections.

Fertibol, Roni (which stimulates an endogenous production of acids in


the intestine, allowing for a better intake of all minerals), Winmix (total
supplement) and Curol (health oil) all enhance each other’s effects (syn-
ergism).

52
RECOVERY: WATER IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENT!
During a race, often in the summer heat, a pigeon consumes a consider-
able amount of his water reserves. During the flight and even in extreme
conditions, she can manage very efficiently her water management and
kidney function. Up to maximum 8% of the purified blood turns into urine.
Therefore, the recovery is first of all focused on refilling these water re-
serves at homecoming in order to compensate the loss of moisture in a
quick and appropriate way.

Hydracom Iso contains electrolytes which, through osmosis, provide


an equal distribution and storage of water in the body of the pigeon (iso-
tonic). During exercise, the electrolytes ensure that the water and the dis-
solved nutrients in water, are transported to the active muscles and that
the muscles disseminate the waste dissolved in water.
This process is called osmosis.

A shortage of certain electrolytes can cause muscle cramps. Because of


osmosis, water, nutrients and waste are exchanged. If insufficient electro-
lytes and moisture are procured during exercise, this can cause muscle
cramps and exhaustion. The performance will even decrease in case of
a small loss of moisture. When a young pigeon loses, within 24 hours of
time, more than 10% of its body weight in water, for example due to flat
manure or extreme heat, she is in mortal danger.

Hydracom Iso also contains glucose, which has a pronounced water


bonding effect (clusterbonding). Administer your pigeons this solution the
day of returning home or after a coaching flight, especially when it is hot
weather. Hydracom Iso can also be administered in case of digestion prob-
lems causing dehydration.

PIGEONS WITH MUSCULAR
PROBLEMS – RECOVERY – PROTEIN
Pigeons which have been staying in the lofts day and night in the spring, can
slowly start preparing for flying around freely and doing their first trainings.
Experience has taught us that every year pigeons suffer from muscle injuries
because of staying inside for such a long period.

We call them pigeons with muscular problems.


How can muscle injuries be prevented?

Pigeons fly in flocks and will do anything to


stay in it. It is for example a good way to prevent attacks from birds of prey.
It is almost as if they have a collective consciousness telling them to stay in
formation, flying just a few centimetres next to each other. It is just magic
and it is the best incentive a fancier can get in springtime to get his or her
racing pigeons in the best shape for the upcoming races. Such acrobatics
require that the muscular systems of all pigeons are in perfect condition.

However, after the winter has passed, not all pigeons are in such condition
and have the muscular strength which is required. There are always a few
pigeons for which the transition is too abrupt (suddenly from 0 % to 100 %).
The muscles of those untrained pigeons have not yet been built up and
aren’t that supple yet. Furthermore, their metabolism to release energy still
needs to further develop. They strained themselves because their animal
instinct told them to stay in the flock.

Additional proteins are recommended for pigeons with muscular problems


to protect the muscles against the abrupt and enthusiastic first trainings,
often held in cold weather. Make sure that they gradually build up their
stamina with first a few short trainings.

56
We often forget that our pigeons use up more than half of the energy com-
ing from their feed to maintain their body temperature! After very hard
races (10 to 12 hours), when upon arrival our pigeons are no longer capable
of standing on their legs, additional proteins and electrolytes are recom-
mended as well. If a pigeon has used up all of its oil and sugar after a tough
race, it starts burning the proteins of its own muscles as those proteins are a
source of energy in case of emergency. As a result, they arrive home with an
overloaded pectoral muscle. Other muscular tissue such as that of the feet
gets acidified first, then becomes stiff and is in the end burned as a source
of energy. It can restore its muscular capacity quickly (in a few days’ time)
after such utter exhaustion by taking in additional proteins until the capacity
is restored and the pigeon feels nice and round again.

Proteins are highly important: Not only muscles but the pigeon’s immune
system is composed of proteins. However, do be careful when giving pro-
teins because excessive use can be dangerous. I have often said that we
should be careful not to give our pigeons too many proteins, even though
they are a primary necessity. Pigeon powder best contains 16 % of proteins
(18 % during breeding). That should be sufficient. However, we have to ad-
mit that we often ask our pigeons to deliver very exhausting performances
for months on end. In that case, additional proteins (on top of the proteins
present in the pigeon feed) are recommended as a perfect recovery product.

However, as the late Johan Cruijff used to say: “Every disadvantage has its
advantage.” Proteins do indeed contain a lot of nitrogen, the surplus of
which is converted into ammonia, which neutralises the acid keeping the
intestine healthy, resulting into intestinal infections.

That is why Roni is an important product in the


care taking process. It produces lactic acid in the
large intestine, which binds ammonia to harmless ammonium lactate,
which in turn disinfects the intestine. 57
To prevent muscular problems and stiff pigeons, Comed recommends sup-
plying your pigeons with the new product called Hydracom Recup
(Amino and Gluco) for a couple days till the muscular capacity is
restored and the pigeons’ muscles are supple again.

Proteins are made up of amino acids. Hydracom Recup contains


those specially adapted amino acids in high doses which are needed to re-
store the capacity of the wing muscles after a race. It also contains the car-
bohydrates and electrolytes to restore the balance of water distribution:
the necessary balance of distributing water in the pigeon’s body, especially
to prevent dehydration after tough races in hot weather conditions.

58
Enercom, which is already known, is a general protein prep which is
perfect for preparing the entire muscular system for a race. Both protein
sources can, however, be given before and after the race, even for several
days, especially in case of considerable exertion in hot weather conditions.

As mentioned before, the art is to cover the need for proteins without ex-
aggerating and thus making sure that sufficient Roni is given during the
protein treatment with Enercom and Hydracom Recup (Amino
& Gluco).

If your pigeons exerted themselves too much, carbon dioxide and lactic
acid is produced. Comed recommends mixing Acibloc into the feed for
three days after exhausting performances.

59
MOULTING
It is a fact that pigeons moult throughout the season.
An increasing number of fanciers have discovered Tempo 60 as an ex-
cellent product which can be used all year long for a pigeon’s plumage. The
feathers shine more deeply .

Moult is an important but uneasy period which the pigeon has to go


through. Now that its most important task, i.e. seeing to offspring, is ful-
filled, it is not fully agile.

It now needs much energy (Murol) to recover while at the same time
sufficient and proper aid (Murium) is required to develop its primary and
secondary feathers. A tip for those who, in spite of our advice, have given
their pigeons medicines: Comin-Cholin B-Complex is definitely
necessary here. It cleanses the body of damaging metabolites which influ-
ence the pigeon’s metabolism for a long time.

60
MURIUM
METABOLISM - FEATHERS
Murium contains specific nutrients which are particu-
larly needed during moulting. Murium regulates diges-
tion and relieves the liver after intense training or a medi-
cal treatment (antibiotic: not recommendable). To be
used with Murol. Murium can also be given to young
birds for a better development of their feathers.

DETOXIFYING
Cometabol Drain contains minerals, vegetal extracts
and natural trace elements. Cometabol Drain im-
proves the physical condition because it keeps muscular
energy supply and the work digestive organs do, balanced.
Cometabol Drain economically and slowly filters out
the residue of the energy metabolism and waste products in
the feed. It is easily digestible. Giving Cometabol Drain
for a long time does not disturb natural digestion.
500 ml - 5 L
Use:
10 ml per kg of feed or per l of drinking water.

STOPMITE
CLEAN PIGEON LOFTS - PARASITES - FLYING INSECTS
Stopmite a feed supplement enhancing the loft’s cleanliness and thus
haves a sound effect on the birds‘ plumage.
Stopmite‘s essential oils are mixed ith the
feed and excreted through the skin and the
respiratory tract after being digested.Your
pigeons‘ droppings, breath and nests will
have a particular smell which parasites
and various sorts flying insects will avoid.

The clay in Stopmite detoxes the body by


absorption and neutralises the ammonia in droppings.

Stopmite purifies the loft air and makes it less irritat-


ing for the respiratory tract

Stopmite creates a parasite-free environment!

Stopmite spreads a very pleasant smell in the loft!

300g - 1kg Stopmite is harmless and improves your


Use: pigeons‘health

30 g (= 2 tablespoons) per kg of feed during 2 weeks.


Maintenance: Give 15 g per kg of feed twice a week.

After cleaning the lofts, you can also put a small layer of powder on the
floor so pigeon droppings can dry. As mentioned above, a loft rich in clean
air and oxygen is highly important.

63
PROBLEMS IN THE UPPER
RESPIRATORY TRACT?
Problems pertaining to the upper respiratory tracts are always sparked by
the rhinitis viral infection, a member of the Pigeon Herpes Virus PHV1.
Due to its highly contagious nature basically every pigeon carries herpes
antibodies.

After the initial infection (generally during hatching) the repeated flare-ups
of this disease will cause the respiratory tracts to become vulnerable to
bacterial complications such as mycoplasmosis, trichomoniasis, Staphylo-
coccus aureus, Pasteurella septica and E. Coli.

That is why regular use of antibiotics is not a viable solution as it also dis-
turbs the ecosystem of the intestinal flora. Increasing the pigeon’s resis-
tance is much more important in protecting it against repeated flare-ups
of PHV1. Strong resistance is paramount.

Pigeons can find their way back home even under the most extreme con-
ditions thanks to the very high functional reserve of their liver. As a result
pigeons can dig deep into their reserves both in training and prize-winning
races. That causes many fanciers to overlook the symptoms of a develop-
ing illness, and that can lead to severe losses (especially amongst young
birds). Particular attention should be paid to the triggers of PHV1: stress
(basketing, widowhood, etc.), temperature fluctuations, feed, etc. Fanci-
ers also tend to neglect the fact that parasites can play a crucial role in the
reactivation of PHV1. Parasites cause chronic stress and overall strain. We
often underestimate the negative impact they have on a pigeon’s fitness.

Stopmite is highly effective and easy to administer and it provides excellent


protection against a wide range of different parasites and flying insects.

COMED CLEAN LINE


PROBIOTIC CLEANING FOR A LOFT
WITHOUT GERMS

65
COMED CLEAN LINE
PROBIOTIC CLEANING
An innovative and sustainable solution for the increasing resistance to
pathogenic bacteria. Comed Clean contains good germs that remain
on the surface after the cleaning. It is not a disinfecting cleaning product,
but a probiotic cleaning product.

Probiotics possess the unique property of sporulation. This process en-


sures that these bacteria survive in poor conditions and resume their ac-
tivity as soon as the environmental conditions improve.

Disinfectants do not work specifically. They kill both the good and the bad
germs. We obtain a surface that is free of microorganisms. As soon as a
risky germ reaches the surface again, this germ can recolonise very quick-
ly. Therefore, the effect is short-term and not stable (3 hours!).

Each surface contains a biofilm, an accumulation of microorganisms, kept


together by a persistent matrix of proteins and exopolysaccharides (drop-
ping, dirt, feed ...). This is an ideal environment for bad bacteria to thrive.
The biofilm works like a shield. Cleaning and disinfecting products have no
effect on the bacteria hiding in this biofilm.

Applicating the Comed Clean line, the surface is coated with a thin
layer of probiotics. The cleaned surface is immediately inhabited by good
bacteria. The good germs will eat everything, so that nothing remains for
possibly pathogenic germs.

66
Probiotics remain active for a couple of days, which results in a stable, mi-
crobiotic environment. Pathogenic bacteria cannot become resistant to
probiotics. This cleaning method is a revolutionary and sustainable con-
cept.

Comed Clean works through a unique combination of environmen-


tally friendly detergents, enzymes and probiotics to clean the surface, to
remove the biofilm and thus reduce the risk of infection. The probiotics
occupy the surface and eat everything.

Comed Clean line is an innovative and sustainable solution for the


increa-sing resistance to germs.

Simultaneous use of biocides (antibiotics, disinfectants, bleach etc.)


must be avoided.

CLEAN FOAM
Clean foam is an innovative and sustainable
solution for the increasing resistance to germs.
Clean foam is enriched with enzyms, it en-
sures a perfect microbial cleaning and the elimi-
nation of the threatening pathogenic biofilm and
the unwanted odours. After probiotic cleaning, a
healthy microflora remains on the cleaned sur-
faces. Clean foam can be applied to all water-
resistant surfaces. Safe for humans and the envi-
ronment.

Use

Shake before use.


Mix 200 ml per 10 liters of lukewarm water. Clean
with sponge or brush. Leave on for 10 minutes,
then rinse with lukewarm water. Cleaning with a
high-pressure spray is also possible; remove ex-
cess dirt first. Dilute 200 ml with 10 liters of luke-
warm water. Apply foam to the entire surface and
leave it on for 10 minutes. Afterwards, spray with
the high-pressure cleaner, preferably with luke-
warm water. Before use prepared Clean foam
solution remains active for a maximum of 5 days
(when mixed with water). Store at temperatures
between 5°C and 45°C out of direct sunlight.

70
CLEAN SPRAY
Clean spray is a product based on probiotics,
used as maintenance treatment. It provides a pro-
longed effect after cleaning with Clean foam.
This nebulisation solution on a probiotics basis
ensures the maintenance of an optimal microflora
and eliminates unwanted odours. Safe for humans
and the environment.

Use

Shake before use.


Mix 200 ml per liter of lukewarm water. Nebulise
the lofts with this dilution. The pigeons can stay in
the loft during nebulisation long enough to cover
the total surface. Between the Clean foam
treatments nebulise every 3 days. We recommend
daily use for heavily burdened spaces. Before use
prepared Clean spray solution remains active
for a maximum of 5 days (when mixed with water).
Store at temperatures between 5°C and 45°C out
of direct sunlight.

71
CLEAN ORAL
Clean oral is a product based on probiotics that
can be mixed with the drinking water to safeguard
the troughs from algae and pathogenic germs.
Through the presence of probiotics, a healthy mi-
croflora is obtained, whereby the growth of the
threatening biofilm is decelerated. Safe for hu-
mans and the environment. The probiotic germs of
Clean oral work optimally within an acidity (pH)
from 5.5 to 9. It is a common use to add apple ci-
der vinegar or any other organic acids to the drink-
ing water (up to 4.0 pH to 4.5) in order to end the
growth of infectious agents in the water bowl. Thus,
these cannot be administered at the same time
with Clean oral. These acids will decelerate the
growth of Clean oral germs.
It even doesn’t make any sense to add acids as the germs of Clean oral
probiotic are much more effective and less irritating to the mucous mem-
branes of the animals. Moreover, the intended effect of these classic acids
to inhibit the growth of infectious germs is only established in the water
bowl and not in the digestion system of the birds. However, this effect can
be obtained by pouring Roni over the food, which ensures that the acids
are produced in the notches of the last part of the intestine, with the addi-
tional benefit of a better absorption of the acids itself and of the minerals.
Use in the bath water is also recommendable.
Use Shake before use. Mix 1 ml - 5 ml per liter of drinking water in the
troughs. Always 5 ml in the bath water. Simultaneous use of biocides must
be avoided. Before use prepared the Clean Oral solution remains active for
a maximum of 5 days (when mixed with water). Resistant to water tempera
tures between 5°C and 70°C, and with a pH between 5.5 and 9.
72 Store at temperatures between 5°C and 45°C out of direct sunlight.

TREATMENT SCHEMES

78
NEW DOSAGE SCHEMES
After many years of study, our team has thoroughly reworked the schemes.
Research on the ideal time and the optimal dosage, has led to a number
of important observations. To respond to the request of the fancier to ad-
ministrate a supplement only on certain days through the drinking water
or the food, week schedules were developed over the years. These had to
be especially practical.

Also, many fanciers explicitly did not want to administer supplements on


each day.
This was the result of a two-track policy: on the one hand the medication
and, on the other hand, the supplements, also called “additionals”. Most
attention went to the therapies with antibiotics, whilst the supplements
were deemed less important. Meanwhile, cures with antibiotics are un-
der heavy pressure because of the catastrophic resistance problems and
Comed has turned out to be right -unfortunately only after forty years of
warning -...

Many skilled fanciers want to switch immediately to a system without anti-


biotics and choose for the COMED method, based on smart supplements.
Through the intensive guidance of these fanciers during their transition,
scientists at Comed have gathered interesting data. Thus it seems that with
the right dedication, you can achieve significant better results than can be
obtained with antibiotics.

79
In any case it was quite clear that the Comed-products were remarkably
more efficient if they were continuously administered during a longer
period of time. Willem Debruijn discovered this very soon. After he re-
ceived the insurance from Comed that the permanent administration of
the recommended dosage would not cause any harm, he administered
them daily, until saturation. As known, this has, of course also due to his
tremendous talent, lead to a huge success.

It turns out that, if one leaves the immune system at ease by stopping with
antibiotics, the problem of resistance is cleared. This is hopeful. What also
struck everyone, was the spontaneous appearance of peace of mind from
the fancier, whom now was connected in a more relaxed and confident
way with his pigeons. The pigeons sense this and a positive and natural
interaction arises with the fancier. Everyone just has better results and the
return to antibiotics is no longer an option. The COMED METHOD rein-
forces your pigeons, renounces the use of preventive antibiotics and with
Curol, Roni and Winmix, it provides noticeably better results.

Meanwhile, from research of the fanciers, it appears that it is a much bet-


ter idea to not interrupt the administration of supplements, but – when no
full dose is given - to administer at least a partial dose on a daily basis: e.g.
the half or one-third. Thus the schemes have completely been reworked.
Let us also remember that it refers to food supplements, not drugs. The
doses of this “additional” feed are legally defined and perfectly safe.

If the conditions are perfect and the body works perfectly, nothing is
needed ... this is logical. However the circumstances are never quite per-
fect and the body can have deficits as a result of the varying challenges,
through intense observation the fancier must be aware of the conditions
and resume. It is up to the fancier to decide if he will administer the daily
full dose or only part of it…
