A coccidioid
After the pigeons feed on the coccidiosis eggs, the eggs attach to the intestinal mucosa of the pigeons begin to grow and multiply. Pigeons infected with coccidioides began to pull blood stools after 5 days, the sick pigeons sometimes do not excrete bloody stools, manifested as white stools, mental weakness, tail feathers drooping, wings drooping, feeding intake decreased, and in severe cases the pigeons stopped drinking water and eating. Acute coccidiosis manifests as severe bloody stool excretion, and even sudden death; another distinguishing feature of the disease is the white stool, and sometimes even the food is excreted before it is digested.
Generally for the treatment of this disease, the optional drug is penicillin, which is easily available in pharmacies.
Usage and dosage: Penicillin bottles of powder can be purchased in general pharmacies, generally 800,000 units and 1.6 million units per bottle. The amount of each pigeon is 40,000 units, the maximum can not exceed 80,000 units, if you raise 30-40 pigeons to buy 800,000 units is enough. Dilute the penicillin powder with water, the medication should be given a short time, try to let the pigeons drink it within 2 hours. One day of preventive use, 2-3 days of therapeutic use.
Comparison of human medicine and special pigeon medicine:
Penicillin 800,000 units 0.4 yuan a bottle.
Ball drop double kill 10 grams× 6 bags / box / 40 yuan. Prevention of 5 kg per pack of water, for 100 pigeons a day to use, prevention for two days, calculated down to prevent a time need 2 bags, the price is equivalent to 13 yuan, far higher than the human drug.
Therefore, after the fancier understands the pathology and treatment principle of pigeons, choosing human medication can greatly reduce the cost of breeding.
Trichomoniasis dichogenesis
Speaking of trichomonas, I think every pigeon breeder is no stranger to it, and trichomonas are also a common disease that causes headaches for many pigeon owners. Carrier pigeons are mainly characterized by small white dots in the mouth and palate of the mouth, and some carrier pigeons have white sticky wires in the throat. It should be noted here that the lack of vitamin A in the carrier pigeon can also lead to small white dots in the mouth, which appear blister-like and not solid. The treatment is relatively simple, feeding the carrier pigeons cod liver oil can be treated. If there is a yellow cheese-like object in the mouth of the carrier pigeon, it indicates that the carrier pigeon is more seriously ill and can be considered to be eliminated. Trichomoniasis sometimes attacks the internal organs of carrier pigeons, which requires dissecting the carrier pigeons to be visible.
Human medicine for the treatment of trichomonas generally choose metronidazole (this drug is easy to buy in general pharmacies, at 3.5 yuan-4 yuan), tinidazole or alum used in people's lives, colloquially called "alum".
How to use human medication: If alum is used, alum can be diluted with water, and the concentration is controlled at 2%-3%. You can give a carrier pigeon a drip, the dosage of a pigeon is 1 ml, if the dose is not controlled, you can go to the pharmacy to buy a personal syringe. If it is to prevent trichomonas, the alum concentration is controlled at 0.5%-1%.
If metronidazole is used for treatment, the dosage is 1/4 tablet, once a day for 4 days.
If the same drug is used for long-term prevention and treatment of trichomonas, it will make trichomonas resistant, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. In order to avoid this, alum, metronidazole, tinidazole can be used to recycle, so that trichomoniasis is invincible.
The following is a comparison between human medicine and special pigeon medicine: metronidazole 100 tablets / bottle / 4 yuan, which can be used by 50 carrier pigeons to treat trichomoniasis trichomoniasis twice. Generally, the special pigeon medicine for the treatment of Trichomonas is 100 pills / bottle / 30 yuan. Treatment is generally fed 2 capsules a day, continuously used for 4 days, calculated down to each carrier pigeon treatment of a triptomosia to 8 grains, 50 carrier pigeons at the same time to eat 400 pills (that is, 4 bottles), to spend 120 yuan, and change to human medicine if only cost 2 yuan.
Don't be unaware, be frightened. As long as you master the principle of medication, you will save a lot of money when treating Trichomonas. If you suspect that the effect of human medicine will be worse than that of special pigeon medicine, you can't prevent yourself from doing an experiment. I have done a comparison in the early stage, and the effect of human medicine is better than that of pigeon medicine.
It should be noted here that when using human medication in carrier pigeons, we must grasp the dosage, and the dosage is too large to increase the liver burden of carrier pigeons, thus affecting the health of carrier pigeons.
Three coli
E. coli is a common carrier pigeon disease and is a conditioned pathogen. Changes in the weather, sudden changes in feed, poor ventilation in the loft, poor environment in the loft can cause the onset of disease in the pigeons, which occur all year round.
The external characteristics of pigeons suffering from E. coli are more obvious, such as pigeons pulling bubbled feces, which are white, yellowish, green or yellow-green, similar to egg broth.
Treatment methods of human drugs: human use of satlocin, cephalosporins can be. For example, the common norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin. Dosage: The dosage of tablets is generally 1/4 tablet at a time. One norfloxacin capsule is for 2 adult pigeons, this medicine has less side effects on pigeons. Chloramphenicol can also treat E. coli, but the side effects are larger, and improper injection can easily cause the death of pigeons, which is not recommended here. If it is used with water, pay attention to the content of the agent, the general capsule is 0.25 mg, 1 gram of medicine with 10 kg of water. It is easier to grasp the comparison with the amount of human medication, and the dosage of an adult is about equal to the dosage of 50-80 pigeons, so the conversion is relatively simple and easy to understand. The medication is as appropriate as possible, and the excessive amount of medication will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys of the pigeons.
Here is a comparison of human medicines and special pigeon medicines:
Take norfloxacin as an example: 24 / box / 4 yuan. It can be taken once by 48 pigeons.
Huixiang E. coli Salmonella 2 in 60 capsules / bottle / 30 yuan, equivalent to 0.5 yuan / capsule. 48 pigeons cost 24 yuan at a time. It is 20 yuan more expensive than human medication, pay attention, just take it once to spend 20 yuan more. The cost of raising pigeons is already relatively large, so it is better to save some money in this subtlety.
Tetraadenevirus
Adenovirus itself is not a very serious disease, mainly because the pigeons are infected with adenovirus after the decline in constitution, and other viruses take advantage of the weakness, induce other diseases, serious can lead to the death of pigeons. Here we will not talk about the causes of the disease, mainly talk about prevention and treatment.
Prevention: When the pigeons are trained, remember not to feed too full, short-distance training hunger will not have much impact on the pigeons, and the early training and release of pigeon cages are crowded, coupled with pigeon stress is very easy to cause adenovirus. After the pigeons are trained to return home, they should wash their mouths, feet and feathers stained with feces with garlic water to cut off the transmission route of the virus in time. There is no good vaccine for adenovirus, only physical prevention.
Once the pigeons become ill, they should be isolated in time, preferably in small cages with ground nets, and the food spit out cannot be eaten by other pigeons.
Common human drugs for pigeons are mainly morphine and levofloxacin. When treating, you must control your diet, but you can't stop the water (generally fanciers are stopped eating and stopping water, which is a misunderstanding), and a certain amount of electrolytes is added to the water. Because sick pigeons generally have diarrhea, cod liver oil is used to protect the intestines, because cod liver oil contains vitamin A, which promotes intestinal repair.
Dosage: 1/4 tablet of morphine, the same dose of levofloxacin, while hydrating. After the condition improves, easily digestible feeds such as corn and barley are given. When feeding, soak in water to soften, and the amount of feeding should be small. Remember not to feed wheat, which can aggravate diarrhea in pigeons.
Comparison between human medicine and special pigeon medicine: Morpholine is sold in ordinary pharmacies and it is easy to buy 30 tablets / box / 12 yuan, equivalent to 0.4 yuan per tablet, and a pigeon takes 0.1 yuan at a time. Pigeon special drugs such as adenovirus grams 45 pills / bottle / 30 yuan (ordinary) equivalent to 0.7 yuan per capsule, pigeons each time they take 0.6 yuan higher than human drugs, calculated down is really cheaper.
Pigeons use human medicine, it seems to save a lot of money! This is a little experience of lao wang, a farmer in the deep mountains, and he hopes to correct the wrong place, thank you for reading.
