bullx100% 681 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Not long ago I put a a topic on about the chicks been bit sneezey ....well the chicks have stoped doing it but today my cock bird did it...only the once ...the thing is I'm not sure if it is any diseases as the chicks and cock and hen all seem fine no other symtoms and today I've been laying decking so there as been plenty of sawdust flying around and at one point the cock was trying to eat it so I'm thinking maybe that's why he sneezed... So anyway here's my question.....if they have got it and I cull my birds how long will it take for the dieses to die off and not be lingering around my pens I no it can be treated but not cured so I don't see the point in treating them as they'll still be a carrier and if there carriers I won't be able to take them to shows and it can be passed on throu eggs so will be just be producing infected birds....

MoChara 1,632 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I found this last week when looking, because a few of my hens had started sneezing once or twice, well i think it was sneezing lol like a high pitched odd noise - to be honest im hoping it was the dust of me changing the bedding in the house that done it. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps034 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoChara 1,632 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) it worked earlier not working now, well it said this in one bit of it- M. gallisepticum infection is caused by an organism classified as a mycoplasma. This organism is similar to bacteria, but lacks a cell wall. This characteristic makes MG extremely fragile. They are easily killed by disinfectants, heat, sunlight, and other factors. They only remain viable in the environment, outside the chicken, for typically up to 3 days. For this reason, MG is fairly easy to eliminate on single-age, all-in all-out poultry farms. If a laying flock is infected, complete depopulation of the farm at the end of the laying cycle and providing down-time prior to reintroducing chickens will be successful in eliminating MG. However, complete depopulation must be performed to break the cycle and prevent re-infection in subsequent flocks on the premises.

Ukroosterman 548 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Crd can no be cured only prevented and kept under control all fowl are born with crd and have it thought out there life's..... It's stress related when they come under stress it becomes more noticeable.... Bullxs the next time you go out to birds pick one them up and with fingers cover he's nostrils and hold he's beak togeather for few seconds till he starts to struggle..... Look in the corner of he's eyes for bubbles if you see any let me know and will inbox you on the best way to reduce crd....... I cull all sick fowl and unhealthy but not for crd you would never own a bird as all fowl have weather they show the symptoms or not ATB uk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
