Cause: is caused by viruses, through the sick pigeon dander, coughing, sneezing, feces, mutual pecking, droplet transmission, as well as through the mosquito and blood-sucking insect bites spread, high incidence in the summer (the most likely to pigeon pox in the rainy season of the beginning of summer)
Disease symptoms: generally occurs in the (un)hairy skin (such as the nose, the corners of the mouth, legs, toes, anus, eyelids, wings (un)hairy skin; and the mouth, throat area) first blisters; later into pus (generally summer and autumn pigeon pox appeared in the) The first is a swollen blister; then a pustule (generally summer and fall pigeon pox appears in the skin, winter appears in the mouth, throat; pigeon pox sick pigeons, resistance decreases, easy to die with other diseases)
Treatment: the soldering iron plugged into the electricity for a while, the swollen blisters or pustules to clear away, with the soldering iron in the swollen blisters or pustules at the scorching to the virus death can be. Virus death can be. (Pigeon pox can be lifelong immunity after cure)
Prevention: pay attention to the environmental hygiene of the pigeon loft, to drive away mosquitoes and flies! Soak garlic water twice a week for pigeons to drink! If you have the condition, you can inoculate the young pigeons with pigeon pox vaccine.
Two, diphtheria
Cause: caused by the virus, through the mouth contact infection, (two pigeons pecking each other, male and female kissing, *** with the water dispenser is the main way of transmission)
Symptoms: pigeons mouth, larynx, tiny yellow membrane, caused by respiratory disorders (mainly adult pigeons, a disease that occurs in the mouth, the sick pigeons show shortness of breath, lack of spirit, appetite, sometimes open their mouths, and so on, and so on. Appetite loss, sometimes open mouth and swallowing difficulties, heavy can be caused by suffocation and death) early cure is not a big problem, let it develop into an incurable disease.
Treatment: first of all, the sick pigeon is isolated, with tweezers to take out the yellow membrane clean, with a cotton swab dipped in saline to the focal point of disinfection, and finally with iodine coated in the focal point.
Prevention: During the rainy season, pay more attention to the pigeons, pay attention to the hygiene of the pigeon lofts, change the drinking water of the pigeons every day, and sterilize the drinking water containers on a regular basis.
Three, thrush
Cause: it is due to candida disease, belongs to the mold, (food mold, feed unclean, pigeon loft humidity is the cause of the disease, there is the feed storage time is too long, the proportion of wheat is too large, the occurrence of ergot poisoning, which triggered the disease) sick pigeons digestive tract and feces with this mold, healthy pigeons accidentally eat the feces with mold, will get this disease. The healthy pigeons will also get this disease if they accidentally eat such moldy feces.
Disease symptoms: initially around the pigeon's mouth or mouth yellow dots, after the onset of the pigeon's mouth, throat, yellow and white dots into the mouth rot, the mouth out of the gelatinous saliva, with a sour smell, and then develop, the white dots gradually spread to the esophagus, crop, the stomach, the sick pigeons do not think of food and water, diarrhea, feathers fluffy, emaciation, depression, crop enlarged, resulting in death (this disease is the most common, the most terrible kind of disease is that we are the most common, and the most dangerous kind of disease is that we are the most common, and the most terrible kind of disease is that we are the most dangerous kind of disease. (This disease is the longest and the most terrible kind of disease, is what we often say infectious disease)
Treatment: tweezers tweezers to remove the lesion, with a cotton swab dipped in saline disinfection, coated with iodine can be! Fear of disease in the internal invisible, can add 2% copper sulfate in water for drinking. But this disease is more stubborn, cure a place can be in another outside recurrence, can be in accordance with the above and then treatment, until cured.
Prevention: pay attention to the pigeon loft clean, feed storage time can not be too long, do not give moldy feed to the pigeons to eat, the proportion of wheat can not be too large, and often observe the pigeons.
Four, paralysis (crooked head)
Cause: vitamin deficiency and caused.
Symptoms: pigeons with this disease lose their legs, can't walk or can't stand, winging, head shaking or bending and twisting, seriously can't lift their head or head on the ground.
Treatment: Intramuscular injection of vitamin C.B1 mixture, once in the morning and evening/2 ml, and at the same time take prickly wujia, once in the morning and evening/1 capsule for seven days.
Prevention: control over mating and breeding of male and female pigeons, after young pigeons with rings, once in the morning and once in the evening/1 multivitamin every day until take-off.
Fifth, soft egg disease
Cause: lack of minerals and phosphorus and calcium and caused.
Symptoms: pigeon eggs are softshell (hard shell without lime) or the surface is not smooth (sandy and rough)
Treatment: feed calcium tablets three times a day/1 tablet to the hen laying this egg, and also feed some Vitamin D once a day/1 tablet until the egg is laid.
Prevention: Normal supply of health sand (salt soil), more feed containing phosphorus and calcium (rapeseed or flaxseed) before pairing, and some calcium tablets for the hen after pairing.
Sixth, adenovirus
Cause: adenovirus is a kind of infectious disease with wide popularity at present, the pigeons in short training are more prone to this disease, because this disease can be infected through contact, that is to say, if the pigeons in the whole pigeon-carriage are mixed into a carrier of adenovirus, the pigeons in the whole cage can be infected, and the feed which is vomited out by the other pigeons after the short training is eaten by other pigeons, it can be infected too. (I had this disease in spring 2009, and I had very few returns.) It is mainly a compound infection of E. coli and Salmonella.
Symptoms: crop accumulation after eating, frequent vomiting, watery stools or green sticky stools, anus stained with feces; serious cases of overnight water loss, weight loss, unsteady standing center, pectoral muscles dry and thin, and soon died.
Treatment: found pigeons isolation, three days do not give food and drink, the fourth day to the water to add adenodysenteric acid net, the fifth day to the feed the same water to add adenodysenteric acid net, the sixth day the same as the fifth day, the seventh day of recovery, and get a life-long immunization.
Prevention: short training just back to the water only add %5 laxative salt, do not feed, wait for five hours and then feed, and let the pigeons bathe, in the bathing water add %1 of the high mast acid methyl.
Seven, egg secretion
Causes: frightened, the first time the female pigeons laying eggs, because of the big eggs are too big, pigeons are too fat, the fallopian tube is difficult to contract can be caused.
Diseases: female pigeons lie in the nest basin for a long time and don't lay eggs for many days, fingers touching the shame door with eggs but don't lay eggs for many days, the abdomen is swollen and swollen, and the phenomenon of shrinking the head with force.
Treatment: Inject 3ml peanut oil or rapeseed oil into the anus, egg position is not correct, use your hand to support the egg position to facilitate the egg output, and then use your hand to support the egg gently push the anus, slowly and gently to the outside of the body to push out the egg if the egg is really too big, the egg will be knocked out of the yolk and the yolk and egg white, and then take out the eggshell clean, (pay attention to the egg is too big, then, remember to not be pushed out hard, or else) (If the egg is too big, remember not to push it out, otherwise the fallopian tube will be brought out, which will affect the pigeons to lay their next chickens or lead to the death of self-laying pigeons).
Prevention: Don't let the pigeons be frightened, increase the amount of flight movement and avoid too much fat in the pigeons.
Eight, coccidia, trichomonas
Cause: are a kind of protozoa, are body parasites, coccidia through the feces transmission, trichomonas through the fight, the parent pigeon's vomiting food, the sex organs of the contact, drinking water to spread.
Disease: Coccidia can cause inflammation of the digestive system and intestinal inflammation, resulting in indigestion and dysentery, while sick pigeons are extremely thirsty and drink a lot of water, severe loss of appetite, rapid wasting, failure, and even death; Trichomonas is most likely to attack young pigeons, which are infected with Trichomonas, and will have diluted fecal matter with a sour taste, stagnant growth, incessant beeping, and less feeding by the parent pigeon (yellow spots or dry cheese on the back of young pigeons' throats or esophagus). Yellow spots or cheese-like knots appear on the back of the throat of young pigeons or esophagus. Adult pigeons infected with Trichinella have yellow spots on the throat, which cause inflammation of the throat, feathers are upside down, drinking water is increased, watery mucus, and in severe cases, pigeons cluck and cackle when they breathe, and if left untreated, when the Trichinella parasites are in the liver, it can cause ulcers on the liver, which can damage the liver tissue and cause death. (Even the slightest case of coccidia or trichomoniasis should not be ignored, because coccidia and trichomoniasis make the pigeons less resistant to diseases and reduce the value of good breeders and good racers!)
Treatment: for coccidia alone, use penicillin intramuscularly once in the morning and once in the evening/1 ml for three days, and orally once in the morning and once in the evening/half a tablet for three days; for trichomonas alone, use 0.06% nitroimidazole in water for drinking for three days; and for trichomonas and coccidia together, use furazolidone once a day/half a tablet for four days.
Prevention: pay attention to the pigeon loft clean, do not let the pigeons have the opportunity to do not eat fecal matter, breeder pigeons before the pairing of a month to remember to clean up the coccidiosis, trichomonas, young birds out of the shed to clean up the coccidiosis, trichomonas, pigeons began to race a month before the clean up of coccidiosis, trichomonas.
Nine, body parasites
Cause: body parasites have roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm, nematode, this four kinds, roundworm like to live in the small intestine, body length of 10 centimeters, the diameter of the root of the knotted thread of the needle is almost the same, the adult worm is a flat and long shape, through the accidental consumption of feces with roundworm eggs to the contamination of the feed, drinking water, soil, sand, small stones, green fodder and infected; hookworm live in the throat, body shape of 1 centimeter or so, through the throat, the body is about 1.5 centimeter, through the feces with the eggs to the polluted feed, drinking water, soil, sand, small rocks, green feed and infected; hookworm live in the throat. The hookworm lives in the throat, is about 1cm in size, and is infected through feces, kissing, and vomiting; the tapeworm consists of a head and a long series of flat segments connected together and is the largest intestinal parasite, and is infected through snails, land snails, ants, and pigeon feces; the nematode prefers to live in the spoiled lofts, and resides in the intestines, and is infected through contaminated feed and drinking water.
Disease: intestinal roundworms, the pigeons must be thin and weak, because roundworms not only compete with the host for nutrients, but also secrete toxic substances that enter the host's bloodstream and damage digestive functions, resulting in anemia or dysentery, lack of nutrients and gradual wasting and weakening, manifested in the pectoral muscles, keeling out, pigeons flying weak, breeders will affect the quality of the next generation; hookworms in the throat will move the pigeons to open their mouths and shrink their necks, and the flight declined; tapeworms hooked on the mucus in the wall of the intestines, the flight of the birds declined. Tapeworm hooks on the mucous membrane of the intestinal wall and sucks up a lot of nutrients, which makes the pigeons lose weight obviously, mental depression and intestinal dysfunction, and the flying performance decreases; nematodes worm in the main intestinal tract and y drills into the wall of the main intestinal tract, which makes the intestinal mucous membrane become inflamed, and the pigeons lose weight or lose weight, have a poor appetite, and cause the intestinal tract to hemorrhage.
Treatment: take levamisole once a day/half a tablet for two days, soak water (in the morning to feed two percent full, do not give water, at noon according to a piece, soak until the evening can drink the water) once a day on the line.
Prevention: remove feces, snails, land snails, soil, sand, small stones, ants in the loft and outside the pigeons, keep changing the water every day, regularly disinfect the trough, drinking water, wash the feed before feeding.
Ten, external parasites
Causes: external parasites are pigeon lice (body length of about eight millimeters, gray, long and thin), feather lice (about 0.5 millimeters, white dots), pigeon wall lice (4 pairs of jointed feet, similar to the spider as a kind of insect, about 10 millimeters, the size of a pinhead of the dark red spherical thing), pigeon flies (gray with a pair of wings and two pairs of jointed feet, head small body, about 1 centimeter long) , demodectic mange (extremely small size about 0.33)! Due to the long time dirty pigeon lofts born of ectoparasites or contact with other pigeons whose ectoparasites, and long time without bathing and caused by blood-sucking ectoparasites can spread other diseases.
Disease: Pigeon lice live on the flight feathers and feed on the tiny scales and twigs on the feathers, which can cause damage to the feathers (small holes on the flight feathers are caused by them); (there is a kind of golden feather flea that lives on the rump and back, which feeds on the feathers and sucks the blood, which makes pigeons look uneasy). They feed on the feather branches (including twigs), which damages the feathers and affects the ability to fly; Pigeon wall lice hide in the cracks on the walls of the loft in the morning and in all the places where there are cracks or seams, and then come out at night and attach themselves to pigeons and suck the blood (the larvae like to suck on the lower side of the neck and the underside of the wings), and then go back to the hiding place after they have had their fill of it. (Juvenile lice do not die if they don't suck any blood for three months, and the adult lice don't die if they don't suck for a few years. To suck blood for food, and can spread disease (catch pigeons often see it fly out, and immediately fly into the pigeon body to hide in the feathers, or climb out and then climb in; scabies is parasitic in the skin under the down, making the feathers fall out of scabies or feathers withered and fall off (scabies infestation and broken off the feathers, in the pores of the remnants of stumps like a swelling stumps inside the scabies worm)
Treatment: to give pigeons a bath, add 1% of high-performance liquid to the bath water, and add 1% of high performance liquid to the bath water, and add 5% of high quality liquid. Add 1% permanganate methyl to the bath water and let them bathe again the next day, adding a little iodine to the bath water.
Prevention: keep the loft clean, disinfect the loft regularly (especially the corners, cracks and joints) and let the pigeons have a bath once a week.
11. Non-fertilization
Causes: The main causes are man-made phenomenon, pathological and physiological phenomenon: man-made is to pair up two males or two females (there is also homosexual love among pigeons themselves); pathological is when pigeons are sick, which will cause this phenomenon; physiological is when the male and female genitals can't be united.
Disease: After the pairing, there is no egg laying for a long time (the problem of the female pigeons), or the eggs are not fertilized (mostly the problem of the male pigeons).
Treatment: Put the two male pigeons or two female pigeons which are mixed up with each other and use them again; find out the cause of the disease of the pigeons and treat them, then pair them up and use them; cut off the hairs on the genitals of the male and female pigeons, if this happens, separate the male and female pigeons and then feed them Vitamin B2 for one month, and then pair them up and use them for a month later.
Prevention: feed some dried fish oil or vitamin B2 to the breeder before pairing; find out whether the two pigeons you want to pair are a male and a female before pairing; cut off the hairs on the genital area of the male and female pigeons after pairing.
XII. Crop Infection
Cause: It is a common disease caused by bacterial, viral and protozoan infections. It is caused by accidental ingestion of unclean food, irritating or non-digestible sharp objects that stab the crop, and it is sometimes caused by extreme hunger and over-eating or excessive nervousness during the races.
Disease: There are three kinds of cases, the first one is drinking a lot of water and accumulating in the crop without digesting, which is called water retention without eating; the second one is having a good appetite and the crop is full of feed without digesting, which is called hard retention; and the third one is having nothing but gas in the crop, which is called gas retention. Sick pigeons will be water stool, green stool more than (not timely treatment will lead to death and can be infected in the day or two days after the disease the whole shed)
Treatment: the sick pigeons upside down, the crop of water or feed or gas, downward extrusion, extrusion of clean pigeons with the Longyuan pigeon medicine
Prevention: short training or racing just back to the pigeons, can not let it drink too much water, extreme hunger can not feed too much feed, can not let the pigeons have the opportunity to eat unclean food, irritating or indigestible sharp foreign bodies.
