How to use
All Agripathics remedies come in liquid form, as we have found this to be the easiest way to administer them.
You can dose a chicken or bird individually or at the flock level.
Individually:
Homeopathic remedies are best administered onto a mucus membrane, so directly into the mouth, otherwise into food or water..
Flock Level:
This is best done by adding one capful or dropperful to their water trough, so that each time they drink, they receive a dose.

Ingredients
Homeopathic ingredients:
Echinacea 30c
Base Composition
Formulated in a liquid base of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%) and purified water.
About Our Ethanol Base
Our remedies are preserved using human‑grade undenatured ethanol, selected for its purity and suitability across species. The gentle 10% concentration supports product stability while remaining appropriate for routine use with companion animals, birds, horses, and livestock.
Ethanol and Animal Administration
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most animals tolerate this well, and remedies may be administered orally, added to feed or water, or applied topically depending on species and context.
For animals with known sensitivity - or when cautious administration is preferred - the following approaches may be used:
-
Dispense drops into feed and allow to stand for 20 minutes before offering
-
Dilute in a small volume of warm water and allow to stand for 20 minutes prior to administration
These methods allow partial ethanol evaporation while preserving the integrity of the active ingredients.
Ingredient Philosophy
We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our undenatured ethanol base reflects this commitment - clean, balanced, and suitable for diverse species, from household companions to performance and production animals.
FAQ's
Is ethanol safe for animals? Yes. Our remedies use a very small amount of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%), which is widely accepted as safe for routine use across species.
Why is ethanol used in the remedies? Ethanol acts as a gentle preservative, helping maintain stability and potency over time. It also supports the integrity of homeopathic preparations.
Can sensitive animals still take the remedy? Absolutely. For animals with known sensitivity, drops can be added to feed or diluted in warm water and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. This allows partial evaporation while keeping the remedy effective.
Will my animal taste the ethanol? Most animals show no reaction at all. When added to food or water, the taste is minimal to undetectable.

★★★★★Singing BudgieOur little budgie is well again on the echinacea you sent - he's just singing and dancing (and swearing) and reciting nursery rhymes, making up for lost time when he had the "squeaking" respiratory problem. Thanks so much. I was very impressed with the whole service, even for one wee bird, and especially Paulette that you didn't try to upsell me. 25ml was all it took for treatment size. I have recommended you to a farmer friend who runs livestock and poultry and she replied that she has recorded your details - so great service needs passing forward and I shall continue to do so.
