Poultry broiler I was 18 days old recently had a fairly high mortality, with symptoms of rather pale legs and a very slow growth rate but actually also wanted to eat, and after being dissected there was something like fat that wrapped the organ next to the liver, what was the cause of death?
Answer:
“Something like fat enveloping the liver " is likely to be a fibrin membrane that envelops the liver. This change is called perihepatitis caused by Colibacillosis. Colibacillosis can cause growth disorders and low harvest weight. Another impact is that it can cause complications in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive tract that are difficult to overcome.
In addition to changes in the liver, Colibacillosis can also cause changes such as the following:
- Inflammation of the lining of the brain (meningitis). Pericarditis( inflammation of the lining of the heart), perihepatitis (inflammation of the liver), peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity) and air sacculitis (inflammation of the air sac).
- Arthritis (arthritis), osteomielits (bone marrow infection) and osteonecrotic (bone necrosis). The visible clinical symptom is lameness. The hip joint and femur are the most commonly affected parts.
- Coligranuloma, characterized by a humpback humpback on the liver, intestines and intestinal hangers.
- Panopthalmitis the eyes are swollen, the eyeballs look blurry.
Among these changes, the most frequently encountered are air sacculitis, pericarditis, perihepatitis dan peritonitis. The pain caused by Colibacillosis attacks is quite varied, with mortality rates ranging from 5-20%. The disease is caused by bacteria Escherichia coli (E. Coli infection), so it can be treated with antibiotics. Drugs that can be used include (choose one) Ampicol, Collimezyn or Neo Meditril. The drug is administered through drinking water. Administration of vitamins is also recommended to accelerate healing, among others by giving Fortevit, Kumavit or Solvit.
For the Prevention of the disease can be carried out such measures as the following:
- The cage is cleaned, washed and sprayed with Antisep, Formades or Sporades.
- Adjust the density of chickens in the cage, ventilate according to the conditions of the cage and apply the system all in all out.
- Disinfection of farm equipment with Medisep.
- Check the quality of drinking water periodically to determine the presence or absence of bacterial contamination E.Col. Give Desinsep, Antisep, Neo Antisep, Medisep or chlorine for drinking water identified bacterial contamination e.bra.
- Not install litter too thick (enough 7-12 cm) to prevent litter it becomes very dry and dusty.
