Meat pigeons are nutritious and tasty, with a higher protein content than pork, beef, and chicken, and less fat. It has the function of restoring physical, mental and visual strength to the elderly, the sick and infirm, children and women, as well as those who are overtired from work.

All animals and plants will have diseases, meat pigeon diseases are also a lot, the harm to breeding meat pigeons is also very great, so meat pigeon breeding, what are the common pigeon diseases, how to prevent and control?

1. Common infectious diseases of meat pigeons.

1. Pigeon pox, pigeon pox is an infectious disease caused by pigeon pox virus, which is caused by mosquito bites and pigeons eating contaminated drinking water and feed, which mostly occurs in young pigeons and young pigeons.

Prevention and control of pigeon pox: The prevention and control of pigeon pox is mainly to do a good job in the environmental hygiene of the pigeon loft, keep it dry, disinfect it regularly, and prevent mosquitoes from breeding. The pox vaccine made from pigeon pox scabs is planted on the wing membrane of the pigeon, which has the effect of preventing pigeon pox.

The scabs are removed, and iodine-glycerin, sulfur ointment or 2% egg** solution are applied.

2. Cholera is a common infectious disease of birds.

Prevention and control of cholera: If a sick pigeon is found, measures such as blockade, isolation, disinfection, and disinfection should be taken in time to extinguish the epidemic as soon as possible.

Oxytetracycline can be taken orally, 100,000 IU per pigeon, twice a day, for 5-7 days. Each pigeon is injected intramuscularly with 1 ml of sodium sulfadiazine, twice a day for 3 days. It can also be mixed with sulfathiazole or sulfadimethylpyrimidine in the feed in proportion for 5 days.

3. Paratyphoid fever is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella.

Prevention and control of paratyphoid fever, do a good job in environmental sanitation and epidemic prevention. Furazolidone aqueous solution can be fed for 3-5 days. Oral or intramuscular injection of dihydrostreptomycin sulfate, 160,000 IU on the first day, divided into three feedings, and 8-90,000 IU on the second and third days, divided into two feedings.

4. Psittacosis is a zoonotic infectious disease. Oxytetracycline 50,000 IU is taken orally, 1-2 times a day, for three days. Chlortetracycline, 50-100 mg per day orally or with chlortetracycline powder, 08% mixed health sand feeding.

2. Common diseases.

1. For indigestion, do not feed indigestible and spoiled feed. Rinse the bursa with potassium permanganate water or 2% salt water, then feed 2 yeast tablets or 12-14 Po Chai pills, 3-5 ml of water, and feed some easy-to-digest feed and green fodder.

3. Parasitic diseases.

1. Pigeon coccidiosis can be mixed with furazolidone in the feed according to the proportion. It can also be mixed in the feed with synergistic sulfonamide in proportion. It can also be mixed with chlorphenidine in the feed according to the proportion and fed for 3-5 days.

2. Ascariasis, regular deworming, deworming every 2-3 months.

1. Pigeon trichomoniasis: one of the most serious and common pigeon parasitic protozoal diseases.

2. Pigeon ascariasis: a parasitic helminthiasis, which is also very common.

3. Salmonella pigeon infection: its pathogen is mainly Salmonella typhimurium.

4. Pigeon pasteurellosis: caused by Pasteurella multocida, it is an acute bacterial infectious disease.

5. Pigeon colibacillosis: It is caused by a variety of serotypes of pathogenic E. coli.

6. Pigeon candidiasis: caused by Candida albicans.

7. Pigeon type I paramyxovirus: originally a pigeon type I paramyxovirus, its clinical symptoms and pathological changes are very similar to chicken Newcastle disease, so it is called pigeon Newcastle disease.

8. Pigeon pox: caused by pigeon pox virus, seasonality is more obvious.

Pigeon trichomoniasis is one of the most common and harmful pigeon parasitic diseases. Adult pigeons often carry worms without disease, young pigeons are infected by swallowing the "pigeon milk" fed by adult pigeons, showing pharyngeal, visceral, umbilical type, of which the pharyngeal type is the most common, and the mucosal surface of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and bursa is covered with a layer of yellowish-white cheese-like material that is easy to peel off. Ascariasis is a common parasitic helminthiasis, especially in groups and in flocks that are in constant contact with the ground.

asymptomatic in mild infection; When the disease is seriously infected, the sick pigeon is emaciated, the feather growth is poor, the digestion and absorption are impaired, the constipation and diarrhea alternately, often there is a heterophilia, sometimes convulsions and tilted head and torticollis, and finally exhaustion and death.

Beriberi. This is due to the poor nutrition of the pigeons' feed. The inflammation of the cleft palate in the mouth is caused by the inflammation caused by the pigeon when it eats the millet.

Pigeons are harmful to our health, such as pigeon crowing, pigeon droppings, shedding. It is advisable to wear a mask when cleaning the cage to prevent bacteria from entering the body from the respiratory tract. But the nutritional value of the pigeons is high.

Keeping pigeons is not good for people with lung disease, because pigeons lose some feathers and dander every day, which is harmful to the human body. Usually I wear a mask when I go into the loft to clean (pigeon droppings are not tasty), but pigeon meat ** headache is very effective.

The fluff of the pigeon is easily inhaled into the lungs! Also, pigeon droppings can easily breed bacteria if they are not cleaned up in time!

The dangers of pigeon breeding are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

First, I can't manage the pigeons. The pigeons play freely outside, and after a long time they get used to it. It doesn't matter if the pigeons don't run around, you can also change their habits by intervening.

But pigeons are likely to fall randomly when they are open and are likely to fight in the wild. If the pigeons have similar bad habits, it is very difficult to break the bad habits of the pigeons.

Secondly, when keeping pigeons in open sheds, because the pigeons are playing outside, it also consumes some physical energy. So, when you want the pigeon to fly at home, the pigeon is not so easy to fly and often goes around the house and falls. If you still have the habit of playing jungle or falling randomly, you may not be able to fly a few laps.

Thirdly, pigeons tend to get lost. If you keep pigeons in an open shed, they will fly around and be bold. That's easy to lose.

Some pigeons run into other people's lofts, some pigeons run into other people's traps, and some pigeons are knocked off by slingshots. It can be said to be dangerous.

Fourth, it will affect the lives of neighbors. If the pigeons are kept in an open shed, they can easily go upstairs to play in the neighborhood, and the neighbors will inevitably have some opinions. If it is in some neighborhoods and urban areas, you may even be reported, you may not be able to keep pigeons.

So for the sake of yourself and others, it is better not to keep pigeons in open sheds.

Pigeons fly everywhere, so that the surrounding residents' balconies and their glass can be seen pigeon droppings everywhere, extremely unhygienic, one is in the moulting season, the wind blows the pigeon feathers everywhere; the second is to everywhere; The third is that when it rains, the smell of the pigeon shed can be smelled everywhere; Fourth, the buds of other people's domestic flowers, some pigeons like to eat its buds, resulting in flowers that cannot grow. Pigeon droppings often contain a deadly fungus called Cryptococcus neoformans, which can cause very difficult cryptococcal meningitis, especially for families with diabetes, lupus erythematosus, cancer, leukemia and other patients with immunodeficiency or poor resistance, it is necessary to be cautious about raising pigeons. Zou Xianbiao, a doctor of medicine who is engaged in medical mycology research in the first department of the 304 hospital of the People's Liberation Army, said that Cryptococcus neoformans can be isolated in the pigeon feces of 52 76 in China, which contains a variety of toxic substances, and is rarely infected by healthy people, but when the human body's resistance declines, it will take advantage of the weakness to infect the human body through the air, wounded food and bacteria-carrying food, which can cause meningitis, lung disease, disease, bone disease and sepsis, of which the most common is cryptococcal meningitis, accounting for about 80.

How can a pigeon breeder tell if he has cryptococcal meningitis? According to Dr. Zou, cryptococcal meningitis begins to manifest as symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, such as chills and fever, dizziness and headache, which are ineffective against general antibiotics, and then gradually worsens, and can cause severe headache, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, drowsiness and unresponsiveness. In severe cases, the neck is stiff, unconscious, strabismus, double vision and even blindness, and it is often easy to misdiagnose tuberculous meningitis.

Acute cases often die within a few days to 3 weeks if not rescued in time, while chronic cases often cause recurrence due to the drug resistance of cryptococcus, and the course of the disease can be delayed for several years or even 20 years. **Cryptococcosis usually presents as papules, abscesses, or ulcers.

The common diseases of pigeons are pigeons type I paramyxovirus disease, pigeon pox, pigeon salmonella infection, pigeon pasteurellosis, pigeon colicurosis, pigeon candidiasis, pigeon trichomoniasis and pigeon ascariasis. Pay attention to environmental hygiene when breeding, and timely vaccination, you can avoid most diseases.
