From Boiron................

[Leilanae]

Thank you for contacting the Boiron Information Center.
According to our Pharmacist -
Oscillococcinum is prepared according to the HPUS monographs. The ducks (Cairina moschata) are young and healthy, raised in open range but not in contact with wild birds. The parts used are the hearts and the livers. Oscillococcinum is considered a nosode, more than a sarcode.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions. Thank you.

Thank you for the great information Leilanae! It means that it would make sense to take it prophylactically way before the symptoms start.
