What to do if a pigeon gets Newcastle disease?

This phenomenon is caused by damage to the nervous system of the pigeons. Newcastle disease is one of the causes of this phenomenon, but it does not mean that Newcastle disease is the only cause of this phenomenon. We fanciers often refer to this phenomenon as "crooked neck", and there are two main reasons for this:

1. Caused by trauma, this is basically rare, and it will heal on its own if you don't care about it. 2. The vast majority of "crooked necks" are caused by diseases that damage the nervous system of pigeons.

There are three common diseases that cause crooked neck: Newcastle disease, Salmonella infection, and E. coli infection.

All three of the above diseases are prone to cause crooked neck. Normally it will not be transmitted to the owner, provided that you have normal hygiene practices, such as washing your hands with soap after touching the pigeons. Sick pigeons are recommended to be burned or buried deep after killing.

The rest of the pigeons, if you eat, to be on the safe side, it is best to maintain it in boiling water for more than 3 minutes, so that the basic viruses, bacteria, and parasites will be killed, and there will be no harm after eating, so there is no need to be afraid.

In addition, according to your question, it is estimated that you are mainly afraid of avian flu, as a senior practitioner of pigeon breeding for 20 years, I can responsibly tell you that during my pigeon breeding, there has not been or even heard of a case of pigeons infected with avian flu with definite evidence! I'm talking about the globe! According to the research and experiments of scientists in the United States, Germany and Taiwan, pigeons do not have receptors for avian influenza.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and it is right to be as careful as possible.

Pigeon Newcastle disease **:

Generally speaking, pigeons with this disease should be eliminated, but there are many pigeons that are the heart of the pigeon fancier and have made great contributions to their owners and must be treated.

a. Take special drugs for carrier pigeons according to the instructions, such as heart-to-heart bacteria and intestinal safety, not much to talk about here;

b. Pigeon fanciers who do not have special drugs for carrier pigeons, can be based on my personal experience, first, intramuscular injection of Newcastle disease yolk antibody for sick pigeons, per milliliter. At the same time, the whole flock of pigeons was vaccinated with nasal eye drops of the Lasota line.

2. Feed 1 4 tablets of chloramphenicol + 1 4 tablets of 21 gold vita, double the dose for the first time, twice a day, it is normal to have vomiting, a course of 5-7 days, for those who are seriously ill and can not eat by themselves, you can feed a few peanuts soaked in water, and add 2 dry yeast tablets at the same time, a course of treatment can be stopped for 3 days, and then take a course of medicine.

Quarantine first, and if you get through it, you'll be fine.

The quickest solution to Newcastle disease in pigeons is as follows:

a) When more than three months of young pigeons, adult pigeons appear occasionally one or two sporadic deaths, everything else is normal, when the autopsy is confirmed as Newcastle disease, with the plague general **,** after vaccination.

2) When there is an increase in death, drinking more water, diarrhea, shrinking hair, and having symptoms of turning the head, it is necessary to use the plague general for three days to **, anti-virus, and improve immunity. Search socks.

Three) ** after the need to vaccinate, oil seedlings injection scattered, freeze-dried seedlings nasal, if the pigeon is weak, you can also be vaccinated freeze-dried seedlings, 10 days later and then inoculated oil seedlings, so it is safer.

4) At the same time as curing the disease, it is necessary to find the cause of the disease and avoid recurrence in the future, because the occurrence of Newcastle disease has a great impact on the pigeon flock, not only bringing losses, but also affecting the service life.

The causes may be:

1) Vaccine overdose, especially drinking water to make vaccines, is more likely to get sick, because the dosage is uneven, drinking less will not work, and drinking too much will get sick.

2) Do oil seedlings alone, because the production of oil seedlings antibodies is slow, it takes ten days to produce them, if there is a latent virus in the pigeon flock, the pigeon flock will have Newcastle disease due to the stress caused by the injection.

3) When there is a mold infection in the pigeon flock, the immunity decreases, there will be immunosuppression, causing immune failure, and the pigeon will show symptoms of Newcastle disease.

Prerequisites for keeping good pigeons:

adequate nutrition; good environment; standardized management; scientific prevention; Excellent varieties of Shiji.

<> the early stage of the disease: a small number of pigeons die suddenly without any symptoms, and then most of the pigeons show symptoms such as increased body temperature, drooping wings, fatigue, general tremors, mouth breathing, etc., and a large amount of mucus comes out of the mouth. Middle stage of onset:

The pigeon shrinks its head and closes its eyes, loses its appetite, does not want to move, the color of the feces changes, from watery to yellow-green, and after 2-7 days, symptoms such as cramps and tremors appear.

1. Symptoms of Newcastle disease in carrier pigeons.

1, the incubation period of Newcastle disease is 1-10 days, generally 1-5 days, some up to 28 days or so, in the early stage of the disease, a small number of pigeons will die suddenly without any symptoms, and then most of the pigeons have shown increased body temperature, fatigue, wings drooping, loss of appetite, increased desire to drink, general tremor, closed eyes, mouth breathing and other symptoms, there is a large amount of mucus flowing out of the mouth.

2. In the middle stage of the disease, the sick pigeon shrinks its head and closes its eyes, loses its appetite, is unwilling to move, the whole body tremor is more obvious, and the feces gradually change from watery to yellow-green, usually after 2-7 days of onset, there are more cases of neurological symptoms such as paroxysmal spasms, head and neck twisting, trembling and angular arch reflexion, and there are individual cases of mouth breathing or conjunctivitis, eyelid swelling.

3. In the later stage of the disease, there will be leg paralysis, unable to stand, often crouching or lying on the side, discharge green thin or pasty feces, and finally failure and death, the course of the disease is generally 1-7 days, and progressive emaciation and anemia can be seen in chronic patients.

2. The causative agent of Newcastle disease of carrier pigeons.

1. Newcastle disease virus has similar characteristics to chicken Newcastle disease virus, and belongs to the genus of avian paramyxovirus, which can agglutinate a variety of animals, including human red blood cells, which can kill chicken embryos, and whether Newcastle disease virus and chicken Newcastle disease virus can infect each other between pigeons and chickens, there is no unanimous opinion, according to reports, pigeon Newcastle disease virus inoculation chickens are not easy to cause infection, and chicken Newcastle disease virus can make pigeons infected and transmitted to chickens.

2, from the disease of the pigeon flock isolated from the strains, its antigenicity, biological characteristics, pathogenicity and other aspects are different, among which the genotype of the strong strain is more common, the virus to physical and chemical factors of resistance is not strong, sensitive to sunlight and ultraviolet rays, 55 180 minutes, 100 1 minutes, it can be inactivated, but strong low temperature resistance, in -20 can survive for about 10 years, a variety of virucidal disinfectants can make it lose its infectivity.

Summary. Pigeons found sick should be quarantined in time**, injected intramuscular antibodies to Newcastle disease or fed a quarter of a tablet of Lumycin and a quarter of a tablet of Gold Vita, if the pigeon is seriously ill, you can seek medical attention or eliminate it immediately. Newcastle disease, also known as pigeon type I paramyxovirus disease, has a high degree of cross-immunogenicity, and the onset symptoms are generally green stools in the early stage, tremor, unilateral or bilateral paralysis, and crooked head and neck in the later stage.

Newcastle disease, also known as type I paraannijusis myxovirus disease of pigeons, has a high degree of cross-immunogenicity, and the onset symptoms are generally green stools, tremors, unilateral or lateral or bilateral paralysis, and crooked head and neck in the later stage.
