Disease Prevention in Meat Pigeon breeding

For how to raise pigeons, especially meat pigeons, I think the identification, treatment and prevention of diseases are extremely important. The following is to explain the common diseases of pigeons, pure hand fighting, what is wrong, please leave your valuable comments.

1, common pigeons without any signs of diarrhea, no other symptoms, oxytetracycline 1 gram to 2 jin of water, inflammation can add 1 gram of amoxicillin.

2. Pigeons with watery diarrhea, vomiting, yellowish green or yellow feces should be considered as adenoviruses. Such as secondary Escherichia coli, the disease aggravated, death increased, green stench thin feces, weight loss, severe dehydration, exhaustion and death. If it is an individual pigeon on a three-day hunger strike, continuous water, if more infection, a three-day hunger strike in the whole shed, continuous water, viral drug ribavirin can be treated, after treatment to get lifelong immunity.

3. Pigeons have yellow and white patches in their mouth, depressed spirit, fluffy feathers, dysphagia and dyspnea caused by oral damage, loss of appetite or not eating, thirst, regular drinking water, yellowish green thin stool, cough, obvious respiratory rales and weight loss. Squab can die within a few days, visceral type and navel type are rare, people can be treated with metronidazole, 1/4 tablets.

4. Pigeons have mental depression, loose feathers, loss of appetite or do not eat, ataxia, unstable gait, easy to fall, anemia and emaciation, dyspnea, diarrhea, gray-white sparse feces, conjunctivitis, severe blindness and neurological symptoms such as head tilt, tremor, paroxysmal spasm and bow angle tension, and finally die of failure. Chronic diseases generally have no obvious symptoms, regularly do a good job of deworming, sulfonamides, double the first dosage, three days in a row, stop the drug for two days, in the administration of three days, can be cured.

5, pigeons appear lethargic, loss of appetite, obvious increase in the amount of water to drink, ataxia, weakness of both feet, paralysis. Dyspnea, neck stretching, crop dilated, full of fluid, mucous secretions from mouth and nose, watery diarrhea, and finally died of collapse and asphyxiation. This is salt poisoning. In the event of salt poisoning, immediately stop using health care sand with high salt content, and at the same time give a large amount of fresh and clean drinking water to help dilute the salt in the body, speed up the discharge of salt, and control drinking water for severe cases. You can drink water for 10 to 20 minutes per hour so as not to aggravate death.

These are common problems in breeding meat pigeons. They may be incorrect in some places. Please leave your valuable suggestions. In fact, I think no matter what is raised, it is very important to make money and not to make money and to understand the disease. If the pigeon is sick and cannot be treated in time and effectively, it will infect the healthy pigeon and cause unnecessary death.
