We received a call from a very dear friend who had quality aseel's at their farm. The owner was concerned about their illness for the past many weeks.
As we observed the birds we came to know that their beautiful aseels were having Fowl Typhoid.
Clinical signs in chicks and poults include anorexia, diarrhea, dehydration, weakness, and high mortality. In mature fowl, FT and PD are manifested by decreased egg production, fertility, hatchability and anorexia, and increased mortality.
The causal agent of fowl typhoid is Salmonella enterica Gallinarum.
Fowl typhoid and pullorum disease can be transmitted orally (e.g., in food and water or by cannibalism) and via the respiratory tract. The causative organisms may also enter the body at other sites, such as in wounds.
Within a flock, fowl typhoid is spread by bird-to-bird contact as well as through cannibalism of infected carcasses, wound contamination, and f***l contamination of feed, water, and litter. In addition, the bacteria can spread to chicks in the egg, as when eggs come from a contaminated hatchery.
How do you vaccinate fowl for typhoid?
The dose is 0.2 ml per fowl and is administered via the subcutaneous route. The preferred site is under the skin on the back of the neck midway between the head and the body and in a direction away from the head. Do not inject near the head. Do not inject into muscle tissue or the neck vertebra.
