Pigeon Care
Dr Rob Marshall is a bird veterinarian with a special interest in sports medicine.
Dr Rob Marshall's health programmes emphasize the importance of developing a strong natural resistance in the young birds, so that they are more capable of withstanding the pressures of racing and the diseases picked up in the race basket. Dr Marshall's programmes use natural products to enhance health during the breeding season, young bird development and race season. During racing the clever and wise use of antibiotic medicines, combined with the proven health products are used to protect and enhance the performance of the race team and produce startling and consistent race results.
