Who We Are

AVIOMED, was established Sanna Botha as a supplier of avian and pigeon health
supplements and medicines. Aviomed is based on the principle of combining science with
nature to develop the most complete and balanced range of pigeon products available.

Sanna is the wife of the world-renowned pigeon and avian veterinarian Dr Ockert Botha
who was the founder of avian and pigeon medicine in South Africa in 1988. He is still
active, world-wide, as a veterinary avian and pigeon consultant to aid pigeon fanciers in
maintaining the utmost health and performance of their pigeons. In 2022 Dr Botha took
over the reins of Aviomed from his wife Sanna.

Ockert’s passion for the pigeon sport emanated when he started racing pigeons along with
his father as a boy. His father, being a pharmacist, was Ockert’s first inspiration and
mentor in his ever present and ongoing search for new pigeon medicines. His incredible
scientific knowledge of pigeon diseases was established at the prestigious Onderstepoort
Veterinary faculty where he delivered a dissertation on pigeon disease treatment whilst
still studying to become a veterinarian. During his study period he was awarded the honor
of doing the clinical trials for registration of three world renowned pigeon products.
Ockert qualified in 1982 at the top of his class and was also honored as the best clinical
student in his class by being awarded the clinical medal of excellence.

After qualifying as a veterinarian, he started researching and developing pigeon specific
medicines and supplements. He founded the well-known pigeon medicine company
Medpet in 1988 and went on to research, develop and register most of the internationally
recognized Medpet products until he sold the company to pursue his other business
interests.

Ockert however continued his excellence in clinical research of pigeon disease prevention
and treatment and was instrumental in developing the cutting edge scientific Aviomed
range of pigeon products. The Aviomed range of products, other than many other pigeon
products, benefit from Ockert’s more than 40 years of experience but even more so by his
ever-present search for new scientific breakthroughs in the formulation of new pigeon health products.
The fact that Ockert uniquely combines Nutraceuticals with Medicines in his formulations
has ensured that the Aviomed approach of “Combining Science with Nature” has elevated
this company to a world leader in the development and sale of scientific, affordable, and
unique evidence-based pigeon health products.

Seldom if ever has any pigeon product company had such a meteoric rise to fame as that
of Aviomed. Pigeon fanciers in South Africa and many other countries world-wide are
having amazing success with this incredible range of products.
