dwarfish_poultry_digestive

As for diseases respiratory, precise diagnosis is very often difficult when one is in the presence of digestive confusions. Almost totality of digestive diseases are translated by a diarrhea. We visit to recognize so how the different causes of diarrhea.

Salmonella poisoning is especially a disease of the Elle digestive system is provoked either by Salmonella pullorun ( pullorose ), or by " Salmonella gallinarum " ( typhose ).

Pullorose, vulgarly called white diarrhea, gets(touches) especially the old young people of less than three weeks and rarely the grown-up poultry.

The contagion of the disease is influenced by factors bound(connected) to the environment: cold.surpeuplement, sanitary bad conditions, defective ventilation. The very young chicks can die quickly after the hatching without showing any abnormal sign. The less young chicks seem sleepy, squeeze up some against the others and do not stop squealing weakly. They refuse to feed and their belly seems inflated with a white diarrhea which comes to defile their womb.

If hard disease still one in two weeks, one observes a boiterie accompanied with a tumefaction of joints(articulations). In the autopsy one meets nodules of the size of a head of hairpin, white or gray, typical of the disease, scattered in all the liver, the lungs, the heart and the gésier.

The treatment consists in giving antibiotics to all the chicks having separated the ill subjects of healthy subjects. TERRAMYCINE's teaspoon powders soluble in two liters of hanging water 5 in 7 days. Hens leaders can have access to this treatment especially if they present digestive confusions. The eradication of the disease passes by the complete elimination of ill subjects; one contents then with treating(handling) subjects seeming still healthy.

Typhose is another type of Salmonella poisoning which practically gets(touches) only the young people of more than three months and the adults. Typhose can evolve either under pointed shape, quickly mortal, or under slower, chronic shape, but evolving towards the death at the end of 5 in 6 days for lack of treatment. The poultry lose their appetite but present an intense thirst. The crest and the barbs are pale as a result of anaemia, temperature rises, breath accelerates and defers him(it) train is defiled with an aqueous, yellow and fetid, completely characteristic diarrhea. On dead subjects, one observes in the autopsy of the irregular gray nodules and as granular on the heart and the intestines.

The birds which are cured remain invariably contagious germ carriers and their excrement is contaminantes. All the ill subjects must be so sacrificed. Nearby subjects are transported in appropriate (clean) and disinfected premises and are treated (handled). The contaminated parquets (public prosecutor's departments) are disinfected in depth.

It is very important to have a practice collectively in this treatment, a disinfection completed with the premises in which lives the poultry and to pursue, afterward, a rigorous hygiene. Inoculation is possible ( CHOLEROPULLOR) but generally reserved for industrial breedings.

It happens that certain diarrheas are provoked with colis " Eacherichia coli " but rarely. This bacterium participates in the diseases where the animal presents a refusal to drink and to eat as well as of the indifference accompanied with a diarrhea. The treatment can be the same that that of Salmonella poisoning, for example with the TERRAMYCINE.

It is a parasitic disease economically very important, especially dazns the big breedings where she(it) can provoke 5 to 10 % of mortality. She(it) is provoked by a tiny parasite called Eimeria. The development of this coccidie makes in two phases :

The massive reproduction of coccidies pulls(entails) inflammatory phenomena at the origin of important digestive confusions. The evolution of the coccidiose in a breeding is influenced by the capacity of the eggs of these parasites (called 0okystes) to live and to survive in the outside environment(middle) on one hand and during diseases intercurrentes which can deteriorate(aggravate) the class(course) of this parasitisme.

The symptoms of the coccidiose have nothing of specific. Birds are without appetite, immovable and present a bristly plumage. Sometimes one observes a diarrhea. A loss of weight is noted on the reached(affected) adults of coccidiose chronicle. Mortality is very strong at the young people and cæcums is reached(affected).

In the autopsy, hurts are completely characteristic. The inside of the bowel takes a haemorrhagic aspect with a contents containing sometimes some blood and some mucus. The wall of the bowel is very thickened, very thinned sometimes sometimes. In cæcums one observes sometimes a material nécrosé of dark colour and mixed in some blood.

The diagnosis of the coccidiose bases itself so especially on the observations of the autopsy and, if possible , the display(visualization) of coccidies in the microscope by a specialized person.

There are very numerous treatments against the coccidiose. Next to the SULFA-VOLACRINE, one can give, for example :

Next to these treatments it is naturally very important to make a disinfection of chicken runs and to leave them idle during at least 15 in 20 days. The dead poultry must be burned and the patients separated from healthy subjects.

Generally the manufacturers of food aviaires incorporate anticoccidiens into their production. If it is not case, give one of the products first quoted half measure, as a precautionary measure.

The ascaridiose, the capillariose or the toeniasis are sporadic parasitic diseases, vulgarly known under the name of "towards". On alive of the animal no symptom is visible except that the bird eats well but remains thin.

It is especially a find of autopsy. One can observe towards long and round ( Ascaris), short and fine as a hair (Capillaries) either long, flat and segmented ( Toenia). Their treatment can make or collectively with, for example , of the PIPERAZINE CHLORHYDRATE or individually, only on suspect or ill subjects, with, for example , the TENIVERM in capsules.
