The parasites in pigeons are protozoa, in vivo nematode and exoplasms. The main protozoal diseases in pigeons are bird trichomoniasis and coccidiosis, and the most common and harmful avian trichomoniasis control is introduced as follows:
Trichomoniasis pigeons, also known as mouth ulcers, also known as "pigeon fistula", is one of the common pigeon diseases, the pathogen is bird trichomonas. It is characterized by a pronounced button-like yellow cheese-like appearance in the mucous membrane of the throat, and it is surveyed that about 80% of pigeons are infected with trichomoniasis, and the trichomonas are not cured and will be immune for life, its infection is continuous.
1. The source of the disease
Trichomonas is a protozoa that can parasitize the digestive tract of pigeons, belongs to the subphylum of flagella, pear-shaped, the size is 5 to 9 μm × 2 to 9 μm, there are 4 flagella, there is a fluctuating membrane spiral movement, multiplying in a split manner, about 4 h can multiply a generation.
2. Clinical symptoms
According to the pathology of Trichomonas, it can be divided into three types: pharyngeal, umbilical and visceral:
(1) Pharyngeal type: the most common and the most harmful. After the onset of the disease, the sick pigeon's mouth flowed out of the blue-green saliva, stretched its neck for swallowing posture, and emitted a foul odor in its mouth. In the throat of pigeons, light yellow discharge can be seen, and the entire nasopharyngeal mucosa of some sick pigeons is evenly distributed with a layer of needle-like lesions.
(2) Umbilical type: caused by contamination of nest discs and bedding. Manifested by the formation of inflammation or lumps under the umbilicus of pigeons, the enlarged section is a cheese-like or ulcerative lesion.
(3) Visceral type: This type is generally infected by eating contaminated feed and water. Sick pigeons often show depression, loose feathers, reduced food, increased drinking water, yellow viscous water-like diarrhea, and weight loss. In severe cases, nodular lesions may form in the esophagus, sac, liver, spleen, lungs and other parts.
3. Transmission route:
The main route of infection of the disease is oral infection. The most common site of parasitism and damage is the digestive tract. The mouth ulcer foci of the sick pigeon is the settlement of trichomoniasis, and there are also a large number of live insects in the saliva of the sick pigeon; the sick pigeon and the pigeon with the worm are the source of infection, through drinking water, feed, wounds and unclosed umbilical rings and other ways can infect the pigeons, the adult pigeons when courting, brooding, is also the way of infection, infection and stress factors of other diseases can become the cause of the disease.
4. Prevention and control methods
For this disease is still more preventive than cured, because trichomoniasis is impure to kill, its infection is continuous. Therefore, the best way to prevent pigeons from getting infected is the best way, so the correct use of drugs and good loft management become the key points.
Most fanciers use metronidazole to treat trichomoniasis in pigeons, and the effect is really good. However, metronidazole has great toxic side effects, it can cause great damage to the feathers of pigeons, the feathers become brittle, dry and dull, stop moulting, mainly the most serious damage to its liver and even lead to poisoning death. And if it is used frequently, it is also easy to make trichomoniasis resistant.
Today I recommend to you a can quickly exorcise trichomonas, without any toxic side effects and will not produce drug resistance, safe and efficient insect repellent - Lechang eucalyptus essential oil, Lechang 100% Australian multi-bract eucalyptus essential oil, which is rich in active substances 1,8-eucalyptus brain, content of up to 85% or more, has the effect of deworming, bacteriostatic, anti-inflammatory, protective tracheal tissue cells, take the way to drive away the way to deal with trichomonas.
5, How to use
Young birds: young birds should be prevented from trichomonas after 15 days of full moon, use eucalyptus essential oil Lechang 100g / 400 pounds of water for 5 days, and then use it regularly for 5 days a month, young birds use safe, green Lechang for prevention, and pigeons without medical residues are less sick.
Breeding pigeons: Breeding pigeons use Lechang 100g/400 pounds of water 400 pounds for 5 days before pairing to prevent trichomonas, and breeding pigeons should feed the young pigeons in their mouths, which is the most common transmission route of trichomonas, and strictly control environmental hygiene.
Pigeon racing: During the season, the trichomoniasis should be prevented every month to ensure the health of the pigeons and ensure the performance of the pigeons.
