Diarrhea, enteritis, diarrhea

Cause: Diarrhea, commonly known as diarrhea, includes bacterial dysentery, bacterial enteritis, fungal enteritis, etc. The main causative factors are unclean feeding, such as moldy and spoiled feed or bird droppings contamination, drinking water contamination, stale vegetables and fruits, etc. Among them, drinking water contamination is the most common. Birds with diarrhea can also be infected with healthy birds; breeders with diarrhea can also infect birds.

Manifestations: The feces become thinner and become mushy, porridge-like, watery and watery feces are separated or watery, and sometimes bloody stools are present. Birds with severe diarrhea are lethargic and often even sleep with their heads down; some have rough feathers and "fried feathers", and if the time goes on, they will "lose fat".

Prevention: Do not feed spoiled feed, vegetables and fruits. Change the water every day, preferably cold boiled water. Clean the drinking fountain thoroughly when changing the drinking water, and disinfect the drinking fountain and food tank once a week. Completely isolate sick birds.

Treatment: Add 0.02% concentration of flavomycin or 0.02% concentration of furazolidine to drinking water, or add 0.02% concentration of norfloxacin to feed for 5-7 days. Seriously ill birds should be fed 1-2 ml of a mixture of 25% glucose water and 0.9% normal saline through a dropper twice a day for 5 consecutive days.

In summer, oxytetracycline or tetracycline with a concentration of 0.01% can be used for drinking water, which can play a preventive role.

Note: If all tablets are fed from mixed water to mixed food, the concentration of the tablets will be doubled.

Cold

Cold in lark respiratory system is the most common disease in autumn and winter every year. When the disease occurs, people are still like this. Especially when the temperature changes drastically, being exposed to rain, wind or cold can easily cause a cold, also known as a cold. It is an acute systemic disease mainly caused by inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. The symptoms are sneezing, runny nose, shortness of breath, standing still, He doesn't want to eat or drink, he doesn't like to move, his feathers stand on end, etc. After the bird catches a cold, the sick bird should be placed in a warm place immediately and stopped. In terms of diet, increase the protein in the feed and add a little sugar or glucose to the drinking water.

Treatment method: Add long-acting sulfonamide to drinking water, add 1/10 tablet per 10 ml of drinking water (or mix 0.2%-0.4% long-acting sulfonamide into the feed), or add it to drinking water Add 0.2% of Ganmao Tong and feed it for 3-5 days. In severe cases, penicillin or streptomycin can be intramuscularly injected at 50,000-100,000 units per kilogram of body weight, or gentamicin can be intramuscularly injected at 4,000-8,000 units per kilogram of body weight once a day, with a course of treatment lasting three days. .

Tracheitis and pneumonia

Tracheitis is mostly caused by bacteria, follicular viruses, mycoplasma and fungi. Symptoms: Watery secretions flow out of the nostrils. In severe cases, the bird will open its mouth to breathe without appetite. After getting sick, you must keep it warm, sunbathe it every day, and feed it plenty of fresh vegetables. You can use an ear scoop to dig out 2-3 spoons of sulfa agent and put it into the water tank, stir it and provide it for the birds to drink.

Pneumonia refers to inflammation of the lungs. If a cold is not treated in time, it can easily turn into pneumonia, which is characterized by fever, shortness of breath, and inflammatory lung lesions. The disease initially showed symptoms of acute bronchitis, but its systemic symptoms worsened. The skin of severely ill birds will turn blue-purple. There are a variety of antibiotics, sulfonamides and other antibacterial drugs that are effective against bacterial pneumonia. Severe pneumonia is generally difficult to treat. You can take 1/3 tablet of amoxicillin or 2-4 mg of oxytetracycline or tetracycline in 0.5--1 ml of 25% glucose water two or three times a day; or tylosin mixed with water at a concentration of 0.05% -0.08%, the mixing concentration is 0.05% (tylosin has a good effect in treating respiratory diseases); or gentamicin mixed with water, 20,000-40,000 units per liter of water; or kanamycin 3-12 mg Add 100 ml of water and treat for 3-5 days. In severe cases, cephalosporin, penicillin, etc. must be used.

Fatty liver syndrome

Description: There is a large amount of fat in the mesentery

Cause: The cause of fatty liver disease is not fully understood, but it is generally believed to be due to long-term feeding Moldy feed or eggs and rice stored for too long and high-energy diets. At the same time, the feed lacks raw materials for synthesizing phospholipids, especially lipophilic factors such as choline and methionine, which hinders the liver's synthesis of phospholipids from neutral fat. , so a large amount of neutral fat is deposited in the liver, which affects the function of the liver, even destroys many liver cells, proliferates connective tissue, and causes cirrhosis of the liver. Narrow cages and insufficient exercise are the causes of this disease.

Symptoms: The outbreak of this disease is often caused by sudden death of lark. Most birds are overweight, usually 20% to 25% overweight, and have enlarged abdomens. The lark's legs are gray in color with skin flakes hanging on them. It is more common in people with narrow cages, and the disease develops rapidly. When discovered, the bird is already dead and its head is pale. The mortality rate generally does not exceed 5%. In the early stage of the disease, the lark seems normal, but the frequency of chirping is reduced and the duration of the chirp is shortened, or the lark opens its mouth to breathe after a little activity, which should be taken into consideration.

Anatomy findings: During acute death, there were a large number of blood clots in the body cavity, partially surrounding the liver. The liver was obviously enlarged, yellowish in color, fragile and brittle, and had a greasy feel. There are strip-shaped rupture areas on the surface, and there is a large amount of fat in the abdominal cavity, around the internal organs, and on the mesentery.

Prevention and treatment: Limit the energy level of the diet (reduce the proportion of egg yolk), and ensure that there are sufficient methionine, choline, vitamin E, biotin and trace elements in the diet. For birds that have become ill, first adjust the feed formula (mainly shelled grains), then add 1g of choline chloride, 10 units of vitamin E, and 1g of myo-inositol per kg of feed, and feed them continuously for 7 days.

There is a simple way to prevent Bailing fatty liver: just add an appropriate amount of wolfberry when making egg rice for birds. Because wolfberry can inhibit the deposition of fat in liver cells and promote the regeneration of liver cells, its effect is also reflected in preventing liver dysfunction caused by carbon tetrachloride, so it has an anti-fatty liver effect. This recipe is simple and easy to implement and has no side effects on the bird. ——It can also improve sex!

Anorexia caused by excessive heat

Anorexia caused by excessive heat in lark occurs from time to time, and is often caused by Caused by poor management. The weather in summer is dry and dehydrated, and they are exposed to strong light; the place where the birds are hung is inappropriate and they are stimulated by oil smoke or harmful gases; the indoor air where the birds are released in winter is dirty; when the sexual period comes in spring, they chirp too frequently and do not get proper rest; they wander around in the morning and evening Birds have become accustomed to it. Stopping suddenly and waiting for a long time will cause "getting angry" and anorexia.

If Bai Ling gets angry, he must be anorexic, and anorexia does not necessarily mean he gets angry. The anorexia of birds with other diseases is not caused by "getting angry".

Prevention and control measures: Strengthen management at ordinary times, provide enough cool and clean drinking water in summer, avoid strong light exposure, and have good indoor ventilation where birds are hung. Do not hang birds in places where harmful gases are emitted. Properly control the bird's chirping and allow the bird to rest.

After Bai Ling gets angry and anorexia, the following measures are effective:

1. Feed a few raw sunflower seeds every day.

2. You can catch a few ground spiders and feed them to the lark.

3. In spring, you can feed some willow and elm buds or wolfberry leaves, bitter herbs, etc.

4. In summer, you can feed some mung bean noodles or tender mung beans, and add some honey or sugar to the drinking water.

5. If you don’t have the habit of walking or have become a habit and stop walking, you can start walking or resume walking, which can "remove the fire" and restore your appetite.

If the anorexia is caused by a certain disease, it should be treated promptly with the right medicine.
