Hi Dan, Yes I was able to implement that of CRD, E-coli but as for the coccidiosis I’m a bit reluctant on that.

Thanks

[Zaid Abubakar Yamusa]

Thank you so much @CommunityManager for this wonderful and comprehensive reply. I will definitely do as stated and come back to give feedback. Thank you.

[Dan Redford]

Hi Zaid! Just following up here. Have you been able to implement any of the above recommended practices?

[Dan Redford]

Excellent! Good luck! Look forward to hearing more :)

Hi @zabuabdullahgmail-com and @proola34gmail-com . We consulted with a few experts on the topic of coccidiosis and CRD, and here is some advisory from them:

“Coccidiosis can occur in high density flocks and in birds that are in direct contact with feces. It is caused by a protozoan parasite which enters the gut of the bird through ingestion of feces. Generally, birds raised in cages with no contact with fecal material do not develop the disease. Respiratory diseases are caused by viral, bacterial, fungal and mycoplasma infections. Crowding can cause dust in the bird house, can also lead to accumulated ammonia which can in turn trigger off a respiratory infection.

To improve the situation,

For Coccidiosis: review coccidiostat program. Use Monensin+Narasin in pre starter & starter, chemical coccidiostat like robenidine in finisher (rotate with different combinations every 3 months). In case of clinical outbreak: use Tortazuril or ESB 3 in water for 3 days. Use probiotics in water as well as in feed

For CRD: for mycoplasma control : use Tylosine 10% in feed 1 kg per ton of feed in all feeds.

If E.coli present: use Amoxicillin or Erythromycin in water for 5 days. (In case of outbreak)
For prevention; Tylosine in feed and Levofloxacin in water for first 5 days and day 21 onwards for 5 days. Don’t use LaSota strain instead use Clone ND live vaccine”

Feel free to implement on your own, and let us know if this is helpful or if you have further questions.

Well articulated. Thank you

Hi,

My name is Zaid from Nigeria.

In my farm, I experience a lot of CRD and Salmonellosis. We do experience Coccidiosis and new castle but not as often as the former.

As for CRD we make our buildings high and use ceiling, we also cover our reservoir tanks where we pump water to the pen tank.

While for salmonellosis we usually use filtration system before the pumped water gets to the pen tank and we also apply some percentage of cholrine to the reservoir tanks.

[Saviour Uyinosa]

You may have to pay attention/review your routine management practices and also do seromonitoring. I am rooting for you

[Dan Redford]

Thanks for replying, Saviour. This sounds like good advisory. Perhaps you could share a link to a source of information where we could read more to educate ourselves?

[Saviour Uyinosa]

Ok

[Unknown Member]

HHello in my region coccidiosis and chronic respiratory disease are prevalent this is due to space issues

[Rakesh Jasud]

ok

[Bello Bashir Bello]

Stock the the quantity that your space can carry , it’s very important

[Dan Redford]

Thanks for sharing, Oladipo. Where are you located?
