Wish your pigeon happy!

Pigeons mainly feed on miscellaneous grains, such as wheat, buckwheat, sorghum, corn, peas, mung beans and pockmarked seeds. At least two kinds of feed should be mixed when feeding, such as wheat, corn and sorghum in peacetime 3, pea 1, wheat, corn and sorghum in training 3, pea 1 and pockmarked 1.

In addition to miscellaneous grains, it can also supply green feed and mineral feed such as vegetables, Chinese cabbage and wheat seedlings. The proportion of mineral feed is: yellow mud, yellow sand 3 parts each, hydrated lime 2 parts, salt 1 part, shell powder or eggshell powder 0.5 part, charcoal 0.5 part, crushed, kneaded into balls with water to dry, crushed when feeding, and put into pigeon house.

Feed twice a day, once at about 7: 00 in the morning and at about 4: 30 in the afternoon 1 time. The feeding amount in the morning accounts for 1/3 of the food intake, and the feeding amount in the afternoon accounts for 2/3 of the food intake. The daily feeding amount of each adult pigeon is about 50 grams, which can be increased appropriately during training. Pigeons should be fed after returning to the pigeon house, so that they can form a conditioned reflex of returning to the house to eat, which is conducive to homing.

Pigeons should be fed more corn and peas, first water, then water. You can feed glucose water first, then light salt water. In summer and during the incubation period of young pigeons, appropriate amount of salt can be added to drinking water.

Pigeons are very clean birds, so we must pay great attention to the cleanliness of pigeon houses. We should take a bath at least twice a week in summer and autumn and once a day in winter.

There are two ways to make pigeons like their owners. First, feed peanuts. Pigeons like peanuts very much. Pigeons can be trained with peanuts. Pigeons may not eat peanuts at first. You can feed them peanuts and add a small amount of other feed on the day when they stop eating. When the pigeon is used to eating and likes it, even if you put peanuts in your palm, it will come to eat! Second, don't chase pigeons at ordinary times and don't scare them. You can gently catch pigeons in the pigeon house at night and play with them in your hand, but the method of catching pigeons and holding pigeons should be correct, otherwise you will hurt your feathers. Not all pigeons will be caught by you, just get used to it! It takes time to raise pigeons. After a long time, pigeons will not be so afraid of you.

There are many reasons for green stool.

Differentiation and treatment of pigeon green manure;

Pigeons' health can be seen from their feces. Green manure is actually a broader problem. Because many diseases have green feces. Some healthy pigeons also excrete green feces.

Green feces are generally divided into three categories: dark green thick feces, general green feces and light green watery feces. The dark green here hurts the most.

Let me talk about the different treatments of these three situations.

Dark green and thick can be divided into two situations. Namely healthy type and unhealthy type.

I remember it was 1989, and there was a place called Jiangdu where Hami was released, 2600 kilometers away. The feathered pigeon returned to its nest, but died incredibly on the way to the report. Why? It turns out that pigeons will excrete dark green feces when they come back. I fed some antibiotics to the pigeon, or maybe I used too many antibiotics, but I killed an excellent pigeon, even though he loved pigeons from the point of view. However, due to the lack of knowledge of pigeon disease judgment and medication, an excellent pigeon died inexplicably, which is really a bit heartbreaking. So, what is the reason why Hami, a homing pigeon, excretes green feces? It can be seen from the physiological structure of pigeons. Pigeons have no bile glands. But pigeons can excrete bile through the common bile duct parasitic in the liver to help digestion. This is why we can see pigeons excrete thick green feces after extreme hunger. Knowing this truth, we can suit the remedy to the case, let the pigeons rest in the dark environment and feed some digestible food. This green excrement is tasteless.

Then let's look at another reason why green manure is sticky. The liver is a very important organ. It is involved in sugar conversion, toxin degradation and hematopoiesis. These sick pigeons also have thick green feces. And has a certain fishy smell. Through dissection, we can also see that the pigeon liver with liver disease has obvious black border, which is actually an acute hepatitis. This is also the kind of disease that was often said before. Sick pigeons naturally lose weight, and their skin should not peel off from their muscles. In the past, the muscles flushed obviously, and occasionally there were signs of temperature deviation. This is basically pigeon hepatitis. In the past, many pigeon lovers liked to treat with oxytetracycline or compound sulfamethoxazole. This is feasible, but it is not the best way. Usually, if hepatitis is diagnosed, it is relatively easy to treat. Supplement WB and WC to pigeons every day to improve liver function. At the same time, some antibiotics should be used in combination. Now just use fluopicric acid. Take one capsule twice a day. It usually takes about a week to recover. When treating this disease, I usually pull out two side hairs of pigeons. Pulling feathers is sometimes a good way to treat some diseases of pigeons. Especially for some metabolic disorders caused by hematology, the effect is quite good. This method originated in the European battlefield 13 century ago, and was used for patients with regenerative blood disorder after injury. There is a certain scientific truth. But it is not very popular now. The reason is to improve some physiological functions by lowering blood pressure after bloodletting. Pulling tail feathers can do this, and I sometimes bleed sick pigeons. Especially in 1997, when Newcastle disease was prevalent in Chinese mainland, did you try this method?

Pigeons sometimes produce thick green feces because of drug poisoning. These should be seen according to the specific situation. Don't throw drugs about.

Let's start with medium green feces. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, pigeons will produce normal green feces due to the absorption changes of digestive system, which are tasteless and have obvious digestive feed residues. So there's no need to be nervous.

The last one is water-like green feces. This situation is more common in the past two years. It is also more troublesome to treat. Water-like green feces can be divided into: water-like mucus-like feces and foam-like green feces.

The first one is probably called leptospirosis. It is characterized by yellowing of oral mucosa, conjunctiva and skin. It belongs to a kind of chlamydia infection. Chloramphenicol or chlortetracycline can be used for treatment, especially chlortetracycline. There is also a symptom of green feces, that is, green water stool, and the shape of water stool is segment by segment. Generally speaking, this situation is that four birds are infected with roundworms. Easier to treat. Just use levamisole.

Foamy green feces are the most troublesome, most likely Newcastle disease. There is no specific medicine to treat. Use vaccines only at an early stage.

In addition, copper poisoning can also cause pigeon green feces. But it is a very dark and thin feces. Treatment: Use 0.5g magnesium sulfate as laxative and feed it to pigeons. At the same time, patients with deep poisoning were given cardiotonic drugs.

1, pathogen: Salmonella belongs to Enterobacteriaceae, mainly parasitic in the intestine. Salmonella enters pigeons mainly through the following routes:

(1) Oral infection occurs through salmonella contamination of feed or drinking water, kissing each other and feeding young pigeons.

(2) airborne infection, inhalation of dust containing pathogens through the respiratory tract.

(3) Vertical infection: The female pigeon infected with Salmonella transmits the pathogen to pigeon eggs through ovaries and fallopian tubes, so that the young pigeon is infected.

2. Symptoms and diagnosis: According to pathological changes, there are four common types of salmonellosis, sometimes all types occur at the same time.

(1) Intestinal type: typical diarrhea occurs, and undigested feed ingredients are wrapped in mucus in the form of slurry, surrounded by viscous or watery, brown, foamy and foul-smelling liquid. Note that pulling green feces is not a characteristic symptom of this disease. Because this color is caused by bile, and it can be seen in irregular feeding or feed changes and all diseases accompanied by enteritis and decreased food intake. Typical diarrhea makes pigeons lose weight rapidly, especially in pigeons suffering from paratyphoid fever.

(2) Arthritis type: Salmonella parasitizes in joints, causing serious inflammation and swelling of joints, which is manifested by hanging wings or lifting legs, especially in elbow joints and ankle joints.

(3) Visceral type: Salmonella invades the liver, kidney, spleen, heart and pancreas, forming liver tumors with greasy, grayish-yellow needle-like to hazelnut-sized nodules, pigeon depression, dyspnea, progressive weakness and other symptoms.

(4) Neurotype: Salmonella infection enters the brain and bone marrow, leading to inflammation, nerve fiber compression, paralysis or distortion.

Salmonella is suspected when there is serious death during the brooding period, or when the young pigeons are stunted. Pigeon breeders should pay more attention to the possibility of the disease when pigeons have typical diarrhea accompanied by symptoms of paralysis of wings and legs, but should pay attention to the type identification: diarrhea caused by intestinal paratyphoid fever is similar to diarrhea caused by capillary nematodiasis, ascariasis or coccidiosis. The manifestations of the latter disease are different from those of the former. Salmonella faeces contain more water, while typical paratyphoid faeces are mucinous and foamy. Neurosalmonella should be distinguished from pigeon pox, malnutrition and various poisoning diseases. The incidence of nervous salmonella disease in pigeons is generally around 5%, while the incidence of pigeon plague syndrome is generally above 20%. Gout can also cause joint swelling and pain like salmonella, but in gout cases, joints swell as hard as bones. In young pigeons, Salmonella has a short course of disease, which can quickly lead to the death of young pigeons, so it is not easy to see obvious clinical symptoms, similar to acute avian epidemic. At this time, only bacteriological examination can be used for differential diagnosis.

3. Prevention and control measures: For the prevention of the disease, we should focus on the usual epidemic prevention and health work, strengthen feeding management, and improve the environmental sanitation of pigeon farms; Do not introduce breeding pigeons from pigeon farms with this disease. If it is necessary to introduce, it should be observed and quarantined in isolation. Pigeons should not be mixed with poultry, nor should they be raised adjacent to each other, so as not to cause other diseases and bring unnecessary trouble. Pigeons who have suffered from this disease should not be kept as seeds to prevent transmission through pigeon eggs. When sick pigeons are found, they should be isolated and disinfected immediately. Generally, 20% fresh lime milk can be used to disinfect the floor, pigeon coop and feces once a day, and then a comprehensive disinfection can be carried out until the epidemic situation stops. The disinfectant can also be 65,438+0: 400 or other commonly used disinfectant. For drinking water, feed and sanitary sand, don't let the feces of sick pigeons pollute. Drug therapy can reduce death and control the development and spread of diseases, but it can't eliminate pathogens in pigeons. Choose the following drugs, all have certain curative effect.

① A large group of patients can take Fu Yiling (949) with 50 kg of water per bottle 100 ml for 3-5 days; Individual or a few treatments can also be given by intramuscular injection, with a weight of 0. 1-0.2 ml per kilogram, which can be recovered generally 1 time, and some can be injected 1 time every other day, with remarkable curative effect.

② Chlortetracycline (15mg/ day) was taken orally three times for 4-5 days; Or 0.2% is mixed into the feed for 5-7 days.

(3) Chloramphenicol 15mg each time, three times a day for 4-5 days; Or mixed feed at the ratio of 0.2%, fed evenly, and fed continuously for 5-7 days as a course of treatment.

④ 50g of 2% ciprofloxacin premix was evenly mixed into 20kg feed and fed for 2-3 days.

⑤ mix norfloxacin with 0.007%-0.0 1% feed, and feed continuously for 3-? Five days.

⑥ Furazolidone (furazolidone) drinks water with the concentration of 0.0 1%-0.02% for 3-4 days; The mixing ratio is 0.02%-0.04%.

⑦ sulfadiazine and antibacterial synergist (5: 1) were mixed in the feed at the ratio of 0.5% for 5 consecutive days.

⑧ Add 25 kilograms of water to each vial of potent therapeutic agent and let it drink freely for 3-5 days.

⑨ Streptomycin was administered continuously for 3 days, with 1 day per animal 160000 units, and then 85000 units per animal per day, twice a day.

Indications: Gentamicin, Kanamycin, Furacillin, Norfloxacin Lactate, Hulamycin, etc. Can be applied.

(1) Prevention: ① Strengthen feeding management, and often use health care products such as live enzyme bacteria, two-in-one enzyme, multi-dimensional electrolyte benefiting enzyme or liver essence strengthening. Strengthening the physique of racing pigeons can effectively prevent the occurrence of this disease.

② Drug prevention can kill bacteria, adenovirus can kill bacteria, Tochang 'an can kill bacteria, or dysentery can be cured, and drugs should be used in strict accordance with the preventive dosage in the instructions.

(2) Treatment: Sanzhijing, Junduchang 'an, adenovirus killing star or wenliting can effectively treat this disease. After recovery, strengthening liver essence or tonifying kidney spirit protects liver and detoxifies, and racing pigeons recover quickly.
