This consists in killing and cremating all birds showing visible symptoms, moving the apparently healthy portion of the flock to new quarters and wiping the eggs with alcohol. The old quarters should be cleaned, disinfected, and then allowed to stand empty for several months, when we should again spray with a disinfectant, and scatter lime over the runs. If the cleaning and disinfecting have been thorough, we may safely turn young or healthy birds into the old quarters. All possible precautions against carrying the infection to the healthy flock must be observed. QUESTIONS 1. Give the cause and treatment for fowl cholera. 2. What diseases resemble fowl cholera? Give the treatment. 3. Give the symptoms and treatment for roup. 4. Give the treatment for "blackhead." 5. Give the treatment for Avian tuberculosis. |
