Pigeon prevention knowledge 1. How to prevent pigeon infectious diseases?

During the growth and development of pigeons, if the feeding management is improper or the living environment is too bad, various diseases may occur.

Among them, infectious diseases are the most serious diseases that harm pigeons, especially in large public sheds, which will cause mass death once they break out. So how to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases is a very important problem for pigeon breeders.

There are many similarities between various infectious diseases, so the preventive measures are similar. First, we must strictly control to prevent imported breeding pigeons from bringing infectious diseases into the pigeon house.

To introduce new pigeons or breeding pigeons, we must first investigate and understand, and introduce them from places where there is no epidemic. Two, used for planting pigeons, should ensure good health, do a good job in the pigeon house environmental sanitation, as well as the cleaning of utensils.

The floor and walls of the pigeon house should be kept clean. The nest box should be cleaned and disinfected frequently.

Third, strengthen feeding management to prevent diseases from entering the mouth. Feed, bedding, drinking water, egg pots, pigeon cages, training vehicles and various utensils can all become the media for spreading the epidemic. Therefore, the daily feed should be properly kept to prevent rats from biting, mildew and deterioration, and the trough and kettle should be cleaned and disinfected frequently.

Prevent poultry from entering or falling into feces. Bedding for daily use should be clean and dry, and bedding for sick breeding pigeons should be burned.

Please do not continue to use! Four, some pathogens, can use the skin and mucous membrane trauma, invaded the pigeon body, causing diseases. Therefore, in pigeon house management, it is necessary to prevent pigeons from being injured in vitro and do a good job of disinfection when vaccinating.

Feed mix should be reasonable, nutrition should be comprehensive, light should be moderate, avoid crowding and prevent mutual pecking. Five, strengthen the management of feces and dirt, to prevent the spread of infectious diseases from feces.

Pigeon droppings will pollute the air in pigeon houses, which is also a spreading factor of some diseases. Therefore, the removal of feces from pigeon houses should be included in the main items of daily work.

Six, put an end to the four pests, to prevent the spread of vector insects and birds and animals. Pigeonhouses should be kept clean and dry, and feces and garbage should not be piled up. The doors and windows of the pigeon house should have the function of preventing mosquitoes and flies to prevent wild birds and livestock from entering the pigeon house.

Seven, do a good job of disinfection on a regular basis, plan, reasonable and appropriate feeding of anti-disease drugs, according to reasonable immunization procedures, immunization, to prevent the occurrence of the epidemic! Breeding homing pigeons is a meticulous and comprehensive project, and there is no room for any omission. Can achieve scientific and proper management, 365 days of careful care.

There will be no season, because the sick pigeons in the shed can't compete.

2. How to prevent pigeons from getting sick in spring?

How to prevent pigeon pox? (1) epidemic characteristics: pigeon pox is a common disease caused by pigeon pox virus.

Pigeons of all ages can happen, especially young pigeons and young pigeons. Pigeon pox can be spread through feed, drinking water, dust and pigeons kissing each other, and skin or mucosal wounds are also susceptible to infection. However, blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes are the main vectors of the disease, so the epidemic season is late spring and early summer, and the rainy season is serious. (2) Clinical symptoms: After an incubation period of 4~ 10 days, the skin in * * is mostly in the eyelids.

At first, it was a small gray nodule, then it became a ruddy to brown nodule, and then it became a red hard granulation that was easy to bleed. In a few pigeons, the focus can appear in the pharyngeal mucosa, which is called mucosal type. At first, it was a small yellow-white nodule, and then it formed a yellow-white cheese-like false membrane, which smelled bad and was not easy to fall off, commonly known as diphtheria type.

Sometimes two kinds of diseases can appear in an individual at the same time, which is called "pox blood throat". In severe cases, it can lead to respiratory disorders, and often lead to suffocation and death.

If secondary bacterial infection occurs, scabs will fester, sick pigeons will lose appetite and lose weight. Adult pigeons with strong physique can generally recover naturally, while young pigeons and young pigeons have severe symptoms after onset, and the mortality rate is 10 %~ 50%.

The younger the age, the higher the mortality rate. (3) Preventive measures: The key measures to prevent the disease are to strengthen feeding management, do a good job of disinfection and mosquito killing in pigeon houses, keep the houses dry and clean, and remove the accumulated water that breeds mosquitoes. There are several ways to treat this disease: ① isolate the sick pigeon in time, peel off the acne idiot with tweezers or scissors, rinse with 2% ~ 4% boric acid water, and then use iodine glycerin (iodine 1, plus glycerin 1-2) or purple liquid medicine.

Immature acne can be burned. After carefully removing the false membrane from the throat, rinse the affected area with dilute iodine solution.

② Use Yunnan Baiyao, "Knife Medicine" and other Chinese herbal medicines to wipe the affected wound. ③ Mixed with 0.04% tetracycline, the concentration in drinking water was reduced by half, and the secondary infection of bacteria was controlled.

④ Increase the supply of vitamins, especially vitamin A, in health sand and drinking water, so as to enhance pigeon's resistance, protect skin and promote wound healing. ⑤ In areas and breeding units where pigeon pox often occurs, pigeons over 6 weeks old can be immunized before the annual breeding season. The inoculation method is: pluck some leg feathers, and then rub the vaccine on 3 ~ 4 feather sacs with a hard brush.

154. How to prevent pigeon cholera? (1) Epidemic characteristics: Pigeon cholera has an acute onset, serious illness and quick death. The disease can occur in all pigeons, but it is more common in young pigeons and adult (born) pigeons, and it is also easy to break out in homing pigeons, pigeons kept in dense groups and pigeons transported for a long time.

Healthy pigeons are polluted by the excrement of sick pigeons in feed, drinking water and cages, and infected by contact with sick pigeons. Animals and foreigners with bacteria can also be vectors of diseases. (2) Clinical symptoms and pathological changes: The sick pigeons are generally acute, with poor mental health, messy feathers, little or no appetite, body temperature rising above 42℃, thirst and frequent drinking, which causes crop swelling, increased oral mucus, or yellow sticky liquid, conjunctivitis, gray nose tumor, wet pecking, eye nose tumor, and most pigeons are accompanied by diarrhea.

Esophagus and crop products are sour and smelly, swollen and bruised or have bleeding spots. Coronary artery fat and epicardium also have bleeding spots, pericardial effusion increases, hepatomegaly, and gray necrosis spots with large needle tips.

Catarrhal changes and bleeding in the intestine. Kidney swelling.

(3) Prevention and control measures: When the disease is found in the nearby pigeon farm, homing pigeons should not be released, and the meat pigeon house should prevent exotic birds from entering the crowd and take medication to prevent it; It is forbidden for outsiders to visit the pigeon farm, and all kinds of disinfection and epidemic prevention work should be done in the field; Immediately isolate and treat sick pigeons, bury or burn dead pigeons; Thoroughly disinfect pigeon houses and pigeon cages; Pigeons must not be mixed with chickens, ducks and other birds, away from other birds or birds. Therapeutic drugs: ① 50,000 ~ 70,000 units of streptomycin each time (dissolved in physiological saline, 6.5438+10,000 units per ml), intramuscular injection 3 ~ 4 times, 30,000 ~ 40,000 units each time.

This product has side effects on pigeons, so use it with caution. ② 0.3 %~ 0.6% sulfadiazine was fed to human feed for 5 days.

③ Long-acting sulfanilamide, 0.25g per animal per day, 1 time, 3 ~ 4 days per day. 155. How to prevent pigeon paratyphoid fever? (1) epidemic characteristics: the disease mostly occurs in immature pigeons, and the morbidity and mortality of young pigeons are high.

The onset of adult (born) pigeons is a chronic process. Although the sick pigeon is cured, it will become a permanent carrier, and pathogens will be continuously discharged from the feces, which will harm the pigeon. Pigeons catch cold, are malnourished and have poor sanitary conditions, which is easy to induce this disease.

Pathogens invade pigeons mainly through digestive tract, but also spread from respiratory tract through pigeon kiss, droplets and dust. Pathogens can be transmitted to eggs through ovaries and fallopian tubes, thus infecting young pigeons.

(2) Clinical symptoms: The symptoms and pathological changes of pigeon paratyphoid fever can be divided into the following four types: ① Intestinal type: sick pigeons have lost their appetite or abandoned them, discharging brown or green foamy smelly feces and dirty tail feathers. Autopsy showed catarrhal inflammation, congestion and bleeding in the intestine.

② Joint type: joint inflammation, increased joint fluid, swelling and pain. Arthritis mostly occurs in elbow joint and tibial tarsal joint, and most of them are unilateral.

When the sick pigeon is active, it is characterized by standing on one foot, jumping on one foot or running in small steps, drooping wings, difficulty in flying and unwillingness to fly. (3) Visceral type: After bacteremia is formed in the body, pathogens often invade various organs of the human body, especially the liver, spleen, kidney, heart and pancreas, and all or part of the organs appear gray-yellow nodules with large needles and millet grains, especially hepatosplenomegaly.

Nodular gray-white necrotic foci sometimes appear in the intestine. Male pigeons may have unilateral orchitis, inflammation and swelling on one side one to several times, or punctate necrosis.

When organs are seriously damaged, sick pigeons are depressed, have difficulty breathing, are weak and even die. ④ Neurotype: This type is rare.

When pathogens invade people's brain and bone marrow, they will damage the nerve center and make pigeons have neurological symptoms such as dyskinesia, toe spasm, gait mite limping, head and neck torsion and so on. (3) Preventive measures: Pigeons should be treated in time to prevent the disease from further developing and spreading.

Each animal was given chlortetracycline 15 mg orally three times a day, 4 ~ 5 times in total.

3. How do pigeons prevent diseases?

First, pigeon pox, etiology: caused by virus, spread through dander, cough, sneezing, feces, mutual pecking, droplets, and bites of mosquitoes and blood-sucking insects. Dove pox is most likely to occur in summer (early summer rainy season). Symptoms: It usually occurs on (hairless) skin (such as nose, mouth, legs, toes, * *). And the mouth and throat. First, there are inflated bubbles. Later, it became pustules (pigeon pox generally appeared on the skin in summer and autumn, and appeared in the mouth and throat in winter; Treatment: plug in an electric soldering iron for a while to remove swelling or pustules, and burn the swelling or pustules with an electric soldering iron until the virus dies.

(Pigeon pox can be immune for life after being cured) Prevention: Pay attention to the environmental sanitation of pigeon houses and drive away mosquitoes and flies! Soak garlic for pigeons twice a week! If conditions permit, young pigeons can be inoculated with pigeon pox pre-vaccine. Etiology of diphtheria: it is caused by virus and spread through oral contact (pecking by two pigeons, kissing by male and female, and using drinking fountains are the main transmission routes) Symptoms: tiny yellow films appear in the mouth and throat of pigeons, causing respiratory disorders (mainly a disease of adult pigeons, which occurs in the mouth). Sick pigeons are characterized by shortness of breath, listlessness, loss of appetite, and sometimes difficulty in opening their mouths and swallowing.

Treatment: firstly, the sick pigeon was arrested and isolated, the yellow membrane was taken out with tweezers, the focus was disinfected with cotton swab dipped in salt water, and finally the focus was smeared with iodine. Prevention: Pay more attention to pigeons in rainy season, and pay attention to pigeon house hygiene at ordinary times. Pigeons' drinking water is changed every day, and the water dispenser is disinfected regularly.

Etiology of thrush: it is a disease caused by candida, belonging to mold. (Moldy food, unclean feed and wet pigeon house are all pathogenic reasons, as well as ergot poisoning caused by too long storage time of feed and too large proportion of wheat. ) This mold is found in the digestive tract and feces of sick pigeons, and healthy pigeons can also get this disease if they eat this mold-bearing feces by mistake. Symptoms: At first, pigeons have yellow spots around or in their mouths. After the onset, the yellow and white spots on the pigeon's mouth and throat turned into rotten mouths, and sticky saliva flowed out of the mouth, which was sour. Then, the leukoplakia gradually spread to esophagus, crop and stomach. At this time, the sick pigeon didn't want to drink water, had loose bowels, fluffy feathers, emaciation, listlessness and swelling of crop, which led to death. Afraid that you can't see the disease inside, you can add 2% copper sulfate to the water to drink.

However, this disease is stubborn, and it can recur in another place after being cured, and it can be treated again according to the above until it is cured. Prevention: pay attention to the cleanliness of the pigeon house, keep the feed for a long time, don't give the pigeons moldy feed, and the proportion of wheat should not be too large. Always observe pigeons.

Fourth, the cause of paralysis: vitamin deficiency. Symptoms: Pigeons with this disease can't walk or stand, can't walk with wings, can't shake or twist their heads, and in severe cases, can't raise their heads or stick their heads to the ground.

Treatment: intramuscular injection of vitamin C.B 1 mixture, 2 ml each in the morning and evening, taking acanthopanax senticosus, 1 capsule each in the morning and evening for seven days. Prevention: Control the over mating and reproduction of male pigeons and female pigeons. After putting on the ring, the young pigeons should take/1 multivitamin once every morning and evening until they take off.

5. Etiology of soft egg disease: It is caused by lack of minerals, phosphorus and calcium. Symptoms: Pigeon egg skin is soft (no calcareous hard shell) or the surface is not smooth (with coarse sand). Treatment: Give the female pigeons who lay eggs calcium tablets/1 tablet three times a day, or some vitamin D once a day/1 tablet until they lay eggs.

Prevention: Normal supply of healthy sand (saline soil). Feed more feed containing phosphorus and calcium (rapeseed or hemp seed) before pairing, and feed some calcium tablets to pigeons after pairing. Etiology of intransitive verb adenovirus: Adenovirus is an infectious disease with a wide epidemic range at present, and racing pigeons who have been trained for a short time are more likely to get this disease, because this disease can be transmitted through contact, that is to say, the pigeons in the whole pigeon cart are mixed with an adenovirus carrier, and the whole cage racing pigeons may be infected. After a short training, the feed vomited back to the nest is eaten by other pigeons and will also be infected. (Spring Festival travel rush got this disease in 2009, and I even went back to my den.

Symptoms: food accumulates in crops after eating, frequent vomiting, watery stool or green sticky stool, feces; In severe cases, they lost water overnight, lost weight, became unstable in their standing center, thinned their pectoral muscles, and died soon. Treatment: pigeons were found isolated and refused to eat or drink for three days. On the fourth day, they were given water with glandular dysentery, and on the fifth day, they were given the same water with glandular dysentery. The sixth day was the same as the fifth day, and he recovered on the seventh day, and he was immune for life.

Prevention: Just after a short training, only %5 laxatives were added to the water. Don't feed, wait five hours before feeding, and let the racing pigeons take a bath. Add% 1 methylphenidate to the bath water. Seven, the cause of the egg puzzle: the mother pigeon that was scared to lay eggs for the first time, because the big egg is too big, the pigeon is too fat, and the fallopian tube is difficult to contract.

Symptoms: The mother pigeon has been lying in the nest for a long time without laying eggs for many days. Her fingers are ashamed of not laying eggs for many days, her abdomen is swollen, and her head shrinks hard. Treatment method: inject 3ml of peanut oil or rapeseed oil into * * *. If the egg position is incorrect, straighten the egg position by hand to facilitate spawning, then gently push the egg into * * * by hand and slowly push it out of the body. If the egg is too big, break it, let the yolk and egg white flow out, and then take out the eggshell. Note: If the egg is too big, remember not to push it out. )

Prevention: Be careful not to frighten pigeons at ordinary times, increase the motivation of flying, and avoid too much fat in pigeons. Eight, coccidia, trichomonas etiology: it is a protozoa, is a parasite in the body, coccidia spread through feces, trichomonas spread through fighting, pigeon vomiting, sexual contact during mating, drinking water.

Symptoms: Coccidia can cause inflammation of digestive system and intestine, leading to indigestion and diarrhea, and sick pigeons are extremely ill.

4. How to prevent carrier pigeon diseases?

Pigeons have been raised in China for 3000 years, and it has developed very rapidly in recent years. With the increase of breeding density, it provides favorable environmental conditions for the spread of epidemic diseases. If an epidemic occurs, the loss of a large group of pigeon houses will be even greater if they are not properly managed.

In the past, the incidence and mortality of some less harmful epidemic diseases also showed an upward trend, especially young pigeons. Pigeon disease has become a heart disease for pigeon breeders. Therefore, understanding the causes of pigeon disease and effectively preventing pigeon disease have been put on the agenda of pigeon breeders.

Pigeon itself is a single organism, always healthy and weak, and there is always an endless struggle between the beneficial flora and the harmful flora in the body, which continues to metabolize until the end of life.

5. How to prevent pigeons from getting sick?

I have asked many homing pigeon lovers what they are most afraid of, and their answers are almost the same, fearing that racing pigeons will get sick. Their fears are justified. Pigeons were not actually cured by pigeon friends after they got sick. We often give antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs regardless of symptoms. Next, it depends on whether we "get sick and prescribe the right medicine."

Because racing pigeons are semi-wild animals, diseases of wild animals and poultry may be found in them, and the diagnosis and treatment after illness is more complicated than that of ordinary livestock.

Pigeons can't be found in time because of their special activities and compensatory characteristics, and their illness is serious when they are found, which increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment.

Under family conditions, the diagnosis of pigeon disease is a big problem, because the symptoms of many diseases are similar, and even veterinary experts need professional means such as pathological anatomy analysis to make a diagnosis. Because of the lack of research on birds other than poultry, experts are often at a loss in this respect, let alone ordinary pigeon breeders.

It is common to go to the hospital when you are sick, but it is difficult to find a doctor to treat racing pigeons. The treatment of pigeon diseases (especially medical diseases that are difficult to diagnose) has always been a dilemma for domestic pigeon lovers: there is no pigeon hospital with professional qualifications and medical strength for the mass market, and there is no medicine for racing pigeons. Pigeons often don't have practical knowledge of pharmacology and pathology, and blindness and subjectivity in the treatment of pigeon diseases are practical problems that affect the treatment effect of pigeon diseases.

General domestic management is difficult to meet many health care needs of racing pigeons. For example, there are many pigeons in the shed, the conditions of the pigeon house are simple and the sanitary conditions are poor; Lack of health knowledge; Problems in the supply and use of disinfection drugs and special vaccines are all factors leading to pigeon disease.

In view of the above reasons, the treatment of pigeon disease should follow the principle of "prevention is more important than treatment". Since pigeon disease is difficult to treat, it is wise to try not to make it sick.
