Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure you have a good set of essential medications in your aviary, including those for fungal infections, coxidosis, stress, and more.
• 😀 Fungus infections on the legs of birds can be treated with a silver spray, which is less harsh than blue sprays, preventing injury to the birds.
• 😀 Coxidosis, a disease caused by protozoa, is a major cause of 'dry chest' in birds. Treat it with sulfamicina (20 ml per liter of water) for 4 days, or 2-4 ml per kg for specific birds.
• 😀 To prevent coxidosis, consider using open-type drinkers, as they reduce the risk of contamination.
• 😀 Newly hatched or transported birds need extra vitamins and nutrients. Use VitGold to reduce stress and stabilize their health.
• 😀 VitGold is simple to use: 2 ml per liter of water for chicks and 0.5 ml per liter for adult birds.
• 😀 Regular deworming is crucial. Consider using a variety of deworming medications, such as Prme, Mebendazole, and Hiperc, depending on the specific needs of your flock.
• 😀 The Prme dewormer is easy to use, adding one sachet to 12 liters of water for effective treatment.
• 😀 Mebendazole can be mixed into either water or feed, and should be used in proper doses: 30g per 50 liters of water or 50 kg of feed.
• 😀 Hiperc is a powerful dewormer that requires precise weight-based dosage (1 ml per 10-15 kg of animal weight). It should be used cautiously because of its strength.
• 😀 Infected birds suffering from infectious coryza should be treated with injectable medications like Taden or Tilan, both of which require careful weight-based dosing.

Q & A

What is the main issue caused by the fungus in the birds' canelas (legs)?

The fungus causes a thick, crusty layer on the birds' canelas, which is commonly caused by humidity during rainy periods. It can be treated with a silver spray, which is preferred over blue sprays because the blue can be too harsh on the birds.

What is Coxi and how does it affect birds?

Coxi is a disease caused by a protozoan that feeds on the bird’s muscles, including the chest, leading to symptoms like a ‘dry chest’ and rapid weight loss. It’s the primary cause of the dry chest condition, not a separate disease.

How should the medication for Coxi be administered?

For treatment, the recommended dosage is 20 ml of sulfamicina per liter of water for 4 days if treating multiple birds. For a specific bird, the dosage is 2 to 4 ml per kilogram of the bird's weight for 3 to 4 days.

How can the spread of Coxi be prevented in birds?

To prevent Coxi, it's suggested to use specific drinkers, like the perforated ones shown in the video, which help avoid the spread of the disease.

What is Vit Gold and how does it benefit newly born or stressed birds?

Vit Gold is a vitamin supplement used to stabilize birds, especially those that have been transported or are under stress. It helps restore their immune system and prevents health issues caused by stress. The dosage is 2 ml per liter of water for chicks and 0.5 ml for adult birds.

What should you do to monitor and treat intestinal worms in birds?

To treat worms, you should use dewormers like Prme, Mebendazole, or Hiperc. Regular deworming is recommended every 45 days to two months, depending on the bird's health. Signs of worm infestation include ruffled feathers, loss of appetite, and lethargy.

What is the recommended use of Prme for deworming birds?

Prme is used by adding a sachet to 12 liters of water, and it’s recommended to deworm every 45 days or 2 months, depending on the bird’s condition.

How should Mebendazole be used to treat worms in birds?

Mebendazole can be added either to the bird’s water or mixed with their feed. The dosage is 30 grams of the product for every 50 kg of feed or 50 liters of water.

Why should caution be used when applying Hiperc as a dewormer?

Hiperc is a strong dewormer that requires careful application based on the bird's weight. The dosage is 1 ml for every 10 to 15 kg of animal weight. It’s essential to monitor the dosage accurately to avoid harm.

What are the signs of infectious coryza in birds and how can it be treated?

Infectious coryza causes symptoms such as swollen faces, nasal discharge, and closed eyes. It can be treated with specific injectable medications like Taden or Tylan, which are effective but costly.
