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.

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.

Hi Dan, thank you for creating this discussion.

In my case some of the key factors I do consider are:

1. Nutrition: in terms of well-being of the birds and high conversion ratio.

2. Affordability

3. End result.

[Dan]

Thanks, Zaid! What are the big challenges for you in terms of achieving all 3 of these aims in an optimum way?

[Saviour Uyinosa]

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

[Dan]

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?

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

[Dan]

Thanks for sharing, Oladipo. Where are you located?

Great!

[Israel]

Thank you, I will watch it immediately

[Redford]

Hello Israel! This is a good question. Have you been able to watch the Poultry Biosecurity video we posted in the channel a few days ago? This video should be helpful for you to get some base knowledge to help you know how to modify protocols that can suit either large or small scale farming. https://dev.soyexcellence.org/download/poultry-meat-biosecurity/

If you have more questions after watching the video, let us know and we can get some answers from one of our experts.

Good day all,

Following the recent outbreak of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) in different parts of Nigeria (e.g Delta state) and around the world (e.g Peru),

How can we develop an effective bio-security program that is cheap and can be adopted by rural smallholder farmers?
