Diseases with symptoms of chicken slimy on the Layer

Father Of Three Dhani Saputra

Semarang-Central Java

Poultry layer I was 4 weeks old and yesterday suddenly died suddenly removing clear mucus from the mouth. What is the solution and prevention before mass death occurs?

Answer:

Dear. Mr. Three, thank you for the question. Sudden death and mucus discharge from the mouth are symptoms that are not specific to one disease but lead to several diseases such as viral diseases, namely ND and AI, and can also be caused by bacterial diseases such as cholera. We recommend that you continue to explore as much information as possible about other symptoms of the disease both through the pattern of spread, clinical symptoms and surgical carcasses. The following information about the disease that is likely to attack the father's chicken :

• Diseases caused by bacterial infections

Fowl Cholera (Kolera)
Symptoms that arise in the acute form of the disease are usually noticeable a few hours before death. Symptoms that appear include lethargy, fever, anorexia (not eating), dull hair, mucus discharge from the mouth, diarrhea and increased respiratory rate. Cyanosis (bluish-purple discoloration of the skin) sometimes appears shortly before death and is usually seen on hairless areas of the body such as Combs and wattles. The stool is initially whitish and watery but over time it becomes greenish and slimy. In the surgery of chicken carcasses infected with cholera acute form, commonly found vascularization disorders in the form of bleeding form ptechiae and echimosa in the lungs, intestines, heart and abdominal fat. The liver is enlarged, striped in color, and there are necrotic spots (white spots).
Diseases caused by viral infections :

• Diseases caused by viral infections :

Newcastle Disease (ND)
Symptoms of ND include coughing, difficulty breathing, snoring and mucus found coming out of the nose and mouth. Other symptoms, loss of appetite, green stools and sometimes accompanied by white clots, trembling of the whole body, symptoms of nerve disorders (paralysis of the legs and wings, twisted neck/ torticollis and chicken circling). There is a fairly high mortality. Inflammation at the apex of the nodule of the proventriculus (gastric gland), in the fatty heart and peyer's intestine patches are also seen on surgical carcasses.
Avian Influenza (AI)
Symptoms of AI include coughing, sneezing, snoring, watery eyes, mucous discharge from the nose and mouth, bleeding tissue under the skin followed by a bluish color on the skin, especially the feet, head and Wattle. Other symptoms appetite is lost, the stool is light green and subsequently turns white. Changes in the internal organs can vary, generally bleeding and tissue death occur.

Treatment that can be done is fast and targeted treatment (according to the cause). Here are the possible diseases and ways handling:

1. Some actions that are recommended to be taken when chickens are attacked by diseases with bacterial causes such as cholera are by administering antibiotics such as Therapy, Proxan-S or Neo Meditril (choose one and give it according to the rules of use) for chickens who still want to eat and drink. Vitamins such as Vita Chicks, Fortevit, Vita stress or Vita strong to help improve the condition of the body of chickens.
2. Chickens affected by viral diseases such as ND and AI cannot be treated, because they are caused by viruses. Until now there has not been found a drug that can directly kill the virus, which can be done is to do supportive therapy, namely by giving vitamins such as Vita Chick, Vita Stress or Fortevit to increase the stamina of the body of chickens and Imustim herbal supplements to increase the immunity of chickens. Emergency revaccination can be done on layer chickens that still look healthy. Use Medivac ND Clone 45 during emergency revaccination to stimulate rapid formation of ND antibodies. The goal is that healthy chickens can immediately form antibodies.
3. Perform antibody titer test against diseases that are suspected of attacking chickens according to organ changes observed at the time of carcass surgery both ND and AI.
4. More important is tightening biosecurity including maintenance management and eradication of vectors (disease carriers). Use disinfectants whose working power is less influenced by organic materials such as Formades or Sporades to spray the vehicle or the outside of the cage. Also spray Neo Antisep regularly every day when an outbreak occurs in a cage filled with chickens. Cages made of iron are recommended to use Medisep and Zaldes. In addition, clean the stool regularly. This measure will eliminate the breeding grounds for disease vectors. Do it too monitor antibody titer routinely at least once every 1 month to see antibody titer status and determine a repeat vaccination schedule (revaccination).
