Diagnostic method of diseases in autumn and winter of cultured peacocks

Autumn is crisp, this is a harvest season, but for peacock breeding is a sickly and disastrous season, like winter, this is the peak of the disease. Diseases should be detected and solved early, of course, it would be best if they can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases. Here are some diagnostic methods for you.

1. The various diseases of the peacock are most obvious in the head. Such as suffering from cecal hepatitis (blackhead disease), Newcastle disease, avian influenza, avian typhoid, acute and chronic avian cholera, septicemic mycoplasma disease and respiratory infectious diseases, often show crown cyanosis; when suffering from cholera, due to breathing difficulties, throat accumulation of secretions, desperately shaking the head, also known as head-throwing distemper. So the head of birds is called the alarm of poultry disease. two。 The color changes, bleeding and edema of avian conjunctiva can be seen in conjunctiva, cornea, iris and other inflammation, common in avian infectious conjunctivitis, also common in peacock eye-type infectious laryngotracheitis, fowlpox, avian aspergillosis, avian chronic paratyphoid, avian colibacillosis, avian encephalomyelitis and so on. When the peacock suffers from Marek's disease, the iris pigment disappears, the pupil edge is irregular, and the peacock is blind, which is called white eye disease. When the peacock suffers from VA deficiency, the cornea is dry, turbid or softened. 3. Nasal secretions are the most obvious sign of nasal canal disease. Nasal secretions are generally transparent watery liquid, such as viscous turbid nasal fluid, and secretions increase, commonly seen in infectious rhinitis, avian cholera, avian influenza, septicemic mycoplasma disease and so on. In addition, when peacocks suffer from Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, laryngotracheitis and other diseases, a small amount of secretions flow out of their nostrils. 4. Look at oral mucus too much, often with food, more common in crop blockage or drooping, and so on. Diphtheria-like lesions are found in the mouth, especially in the back of the mouth, which is a symptom of fowlpox. There is a yellowish coagulant attached to the larynx and trachea mucosa, which is not easy to erase and is more common in infectious laryngotracheitis. When the peacock suffers from candidiasis, it can be seen that there are grayish yellow pseudomembrane and ulcers in the oral mucosa. 5. Look, breathe.

When observing the breathing of sick birds, try to keep the birds in a quiet state and pay attention to the phenomena such as coughing, sneezing, opening mouth and neck, etc. If it is difficult to breathe, it is more common in mucous fowlpox, Newcastle disease, aspergillosis, etc.; if accompanied by respiratory rales and cough, it can be seen in infectious laryngotracheitis, bronchitis, rhinitis, avian mycoplasmosis, cold and so on. 6. Look at the throat if the throat edema, mucous membrane bleeding spots, the secretion of sticky secretions and so on are the symptoms of fowlpox. Significant inflammatory congestion edema and even caseous emboli are symptoms caused by viruses such as fowlpox and infectious laryngotracheitis. Throat dryness, anemia, white pseudomembrane easy to tear off and other changes, seen in a variety of vitamin deficiency and other diseases. 7. Looking at the abnormal changes in the feces of peacocks is often a sign of disease, mainly depending on color, quality and some special changes. Healthy feces should be striped, moderately soft and hard, greenish green or yellowish brown with milky white uric acid salt, no foul smell. If it is dry or too thin, it is due to insufficient or excessive drinking water and green fodder; if it is too soft, it means that the proportion of bran feed is too high; if the feces are yellowish white or yellowish green with mucus, it is a disease, such as dysentery, Newcastle disease, avian influenza, leukemia or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Peacock feces are red or brownish red, mostly coccidiosis. The stool is white paste or lime-like sparse stool, because the protein feed is fed too much, or it is characterized by salpingitis, white dysentery and avian gout. Peacocks discharge dark brown feces, which is caused by feed corruption or pesticide poisoning. Yellow feces (also known as sulfur faeces) are common in peacock tissue trichomoniasis (cecal hepatitis). Light yellow with foamy feces, more common in enteritis. If there is incompletely digested feed in the feces, it is a sign of gastroenteritis. Feces excreted without digestion, called indigestible faeces, should be regarded as functional diseases of the digestive system. 8. Touch the chest and abdomen if you find that the peacock chest and abdomen are swollen, the abdominal cavity accumulates a large amount of ascites, the appearance is bluish purple, and the touch has a fluctuating sensation, which is a disease of avian ascites and lymphatic leukemia; excessive fluid accumulation in the tissue space is also called edema; excessive fluid accumulation in the body cavity and pericardium is called hydrocephalus. Edema and hydronephrosis are mainly heart, liver, kidney disease or poisoning. When touching an abscess in the front of the sternum, it is often caused by staphylococci and Escherichia coli because of poultry trauma. Edema occurs under the skin of the chest and wings, and the skin of the edema site is blue-purple or blue-green. It is difficult for the sick chicks to walk, which is mainly caused by selenium and VE deficiency in young peacocks. 9. The main dermatitis symptoms of peafowl touch skin are infectious, nutritious and parasitic. Infectious dermatitis often causes skin necrosis, such as Clostridium, staphylococcal infection and skin type fowlpox; nutritional dermatitis shows rough and cracked skin, often caused by lack of VH or pantothenic acid; some female peacocks have back injuries, which are scratched by male peacocks during natural mating; some peacocks have scabs on their skin, which are usually caused by external parasites. Skin tumors of different sizes occur in the hair follicles, the section is blue and white, and strong pressure can be broken, often caused by peacock Marek's disease.
