每隔4周的星期六，我们将会选摘一些求医问药栏目中关于某些疾病、用药等方面的问题和解答在主页公布。今天的话题是赛鸽的副伤寒病（paratyphoid）。

My name is Richard Chambers and I am a teacher and the loft manager at the Kingsmead Technology College School Pigeon Loft. We have set up a racing pigeon loft at the school to try and encourage more young people into the sport, and also to give young people at our school an alternative to the Playstation’s Xboxes and TV screens that so many of our students are dedicating there spare time to.

The eagle may be the symbol of American freedom and military might, but no eagle ever received France's Croix de Guerre for valor, or saved the lives of 1,000 troops trapped behind enemy lines, or walked five miles to deliver vital information after being shot out of the sky.

Suzy Schollier, primary school teacher in the 4th form, tells us about Ichtor, a skills-integrated project at the primary school “De Schatkist” in Ichtegem (Flanders).

严格的评价一羽鸽子， 判断眼睛的好坏是尤为重要的。全世界的鸽友，无论在哪里，评价一羽鸽子的时候， 总会看其眼睛。 如果你问：你在看什么， 那么接着你会得到五花八门的答案。

Pigeon feathers can be used for many things... For many years now, the British artist Kate MccGwire has been collecting moulted feathers to produce works of art.

Children and pigeons, pigeons and children…it’s still an amazing thing! Goose bumps every Friday after school! Parents, grand-parents and little brothers and sisters…They all come to have fun with their feathered friends!

7月的最后一周，我们的鸽舍总是很热闹的，因为这正是鳏夫鸽参加最后一场比赛归巢的时候。他们此时可以与自己的配对雌鸽共处。对他们来说这个赛季的征战宣告结束。

以下做法用于冬季出生的幼鸽，当然对于冬季和夏季早期出生的幼鸽同样适用。

线粒体在我们的每个细胞中都可以找到，它们的主要工作是制造能量，也就是说，当我们飞奔上台阶时，用的就是细胞中的线粒体制造的充沛能量。

一定要及时给你的鸽子注射疫苗！这几年环状病毒已经成为幼鸽的新威胁。一岁以内的鸽子非常容易感染，特别是大于4月龄的鸽子更是如此。

前段时间有位鸽友来到我这里为鸽子做例行检查。他的鸽子已经使用高剂量的10%罗尼嘧唑(ronidazole)连续进行了8天的治疗，但是经过检查发现，鸽子仍然有大量的毛滴虫！

很多鸽友经常为比赛中的不如意而恼火而且牢骚满腹。这种现象一段时间就会出现，为了证明自己对比赛失利的解释更加可信，他们还不得不怀揣鸽钟到俱乐部报到。

最近我遇到一件有趣的事情。一位育种者来电求助，他的雌鸽不能下蛋而且可以摸到蛋就卡在泄殖腔前。他尝试着用煤油润滑泄殖腔，但这并没有用。

在这座位于默莱贝克(Meulebeke)的赛鸽大师的鸽舍中，为了得到一轮年龄相近的幼鸽，种鸽通常都在12月1日进行配对，

1937年7月17日由德谢纳之门俱乐部(Club de la Porte de Chene)组织，当时位于布鲁塞尔的伯赫法(Borgval)大街，后来的科比伦约瑟俱乐部就坐落于此，这次比赛的组织堪称绝对的成功。

鸽子身上携带的小型跟踪设备显示赛鸽会根据鸽群中领头的鸽子提供的方向迅速地调整飞行方向。

我曾经在《比利时赛鸽》杂志上发表过一篇关于换羽方面的文章，其中我提到鸽子换羽是一种自然本能，在正常的环境条件下，鸽子完全不必需要人的特殊照顾而自然完成换羽。

沙门氏菌症是由沙门氏菌引发的疾病。这种沙门氏菌株哥本哈根变种（Salmonella var. Copenhagen）是鸽子的特异致病菌。

我将对赛鸽的主要饲粮以及他们最为突出的特征做个简要的介绍。

为了想让鸽子更快回家，大家可以说是无所不用其极，各显神通；可是，真有比运用鸽子天生本能更好的方法吗？

时值9月中旬，当最后一轮幼鸽断乳时，我们的鸽子都已经抱蛋数天，并且开始有换羽的迹象。一旦所有的幼鸽都完成断乳，成鸽的“外衣”开始褪落。

链球菌症是鸽子的常见疾病。它是由解没食子酸链球菌(Streptococcus gallolyticus)引起的，在加上沙门氏菌和衣原体，它们是赛鸽主要的致病菌。

在第一篇文章中我谈到了从良好赛绩家系中选择未来种鸽的重要性。合理的选择过程将能够节省我们数年的时间和财力。

1930年-比利时建国100周年。对比利时鸽界来说同样是不平凡的一年，有史以来从没有像1930年那样组织赛飞那么多次西班牙赛事。

In my past articles on performance and selection I covered My 6 Common Denominator Grading System plus our family of birds that have worked very well for us, clients and friends. Every once in a while we should ask ourselves, are we as a breeder really going in the right direction?

Selection of breeders. Some things that matter and some that don’t

Over the last 13 years we have developed a family that has received 21 Ace pigeon awards in total and 7 of them are No.1 Ace Pigeons of all America. We know there are many roads to Rome. The destination in all cases is the same but not all prefer the same route.

The sickness streptococcosis is a frequently occurring disorder in pigeons. It is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus gallolyticus and is next to paratyphoid and chlamydia one of the most frequently occurring bacterial pigeon illnesses.

Vaccinate your youngsters in time!!! For a few years circovirosis has been a new threat to our young pigeon population. Young pigeons, younger than 1 year are very vulnerable for infection, especially up to 4 months old.

The energy ability on which a pigeon can draw in a season are limited, so that when you prepare a pigeon for racing, you must not work it too hard so that it is able to draw on these reserves to the full when racing starts. For the reader who has read what we have written about the future

这是2000年初台湾前<<赛鸽运动>>杂志林云达先生(David Lin)特邀荷兰名笔夏柆肯先生为亚洲鸽友撰稿而写的文章，先前已被各媒体转载发表过，时隔十年后，再让大伙回味。

等不及想知道幼鸽是公或母吗？

When the youngsters are weaned, around the 20th to 25th of January, the cocks are placed in a separate widowers loft, in as far as this is possible and in as far as the cocks can already be determined.

You have the countrycode, but don't know from which country the ring is ... or visa versa ? This is your starting point !

Most medicines for internal use, however they are administered (by mouth, injection, spraying), have to be absorbed from the point at which this occurs, i.e. have to travel further in order to reach the appropriate organ or organs. There are clear differences in the way the various active ingredients are absorbed, and to ignore these can cause treatment to be unsuccessful.

Real apple cider vinegar is a natural substance, but only if from a bio farm. It strengthens the immune system, as it is an excellent source of trace and micro elements. However, this is only true of vinegar derived from apples grown in a natural (e.g. grassy) environment free of fertilisers and insecticides. An apple that is artificially cultivated does not undergo real ripening, and so does not contain the biologically complete stock of micro elements of which it is genetically capable.

Bacteria are single-cell creatures that are invisible to the naked eye. Their size varies from 0.1 to 10 microns (1 millimetre = 1,000 microns). Their structure varies from the simple to the complicated – for example, some do not even have a cell wall. For our purposes, we distinguish beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, though this classification is arbitrary and not necessarily precise. For example, some types of bacteria are largely beneficial or neutral for pigeons, but in certain conditions can still become pathogens.

Over the last 28 years I have written many articles under various names about different aspects of racing pigeons and the sport in general, I think that now is the time to re-evaluate those idea's on what I have seen over the years during many loft visits.

One can always observe pigeons on pictures with Kamadeva, one of the oldest Hindu love gods. Christian religion tells the story of Noah who sent a pigeon 3 times to look for a dry piece of land. Little pigeon statues were found, made 5000 years before our era. The statues have a striking resemblance to modern race pigeons.

Le pigeon voyageur possède désormais un musée qui lui est consacré. C'est à La Hamaide, en Province de Hainaut, pas très loin de Lessines !

Examples of situations in which the information gained with a microscope can aid an individual flier to improve his results are given below.

It will consequently become a dialogue between a novice and an expert who is prepared to instruct and pass on knowledge obtained by long experience.

We have not departed from our costum to investigate every conclusion beforehand, and have never made a rash decision and also have never been strongly influenced with the different theories put forward with much publicity, hoping to find a ready market and financial gain. Up to the present time, as we are writing this, we have never, after being in the pigeonsport for over 20 years, rued the day of our innate caution on this point.
