Duck foot pad disease how to do
Duck foot pad disease is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteria often exist in the animal's body surface and outside environment, and when it encounters warm and humid and hygienic environment, it will multiply. Vulnerable birds include chickens, pigeons and ducks. Staphylococcus aureus has a variety of disease types, including acute septic type, edema dermatitis, and pad swelling. In ducks infected with Staphylococcus aureus in waterfowl, there are many cases of footpad edema, and the author briefly describes the diagnosis and prevention and treatment of pedicel swollen disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus. I. Pathogens and epidemics Staphylococcus aureus mainly infects poultry through skin and mucous membranes damaged by poultry. The duck foot swab caused by Staphylococcus aureus mostly occurs in adult ducks, especially those with larger body size. Because the body is overweight, the duck's foot is easily damaged and the wound is formed, resulting in the infection of the bacteria. The incentives for this disease include: duck field barracks, sports grounds, there are sharp foreign objects that can cause damage to the duck's feet; poor water quality in the duck farm, lack of cleanliness and disinfection of the site, leading to the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus. Second, symptoms and lesions The diseased ducks with swollen feet have clinical symptoms of depression, decreased appetite, decreased egg production, claudication, and death of diseased birds. The pathological changes were swelling of the ankles, foot pads, and tinea pedis, skin cracking, and pus and blood oozing out. The swelling was cut open, and internal bleeding and purulent tissue were seen. Sometimes the pathogen of diseased duck footpad spreads to other parts of the body and can cause septic infections, leading to acute death of diseased ducks. Post-mortem examination of these septic-infected diseased ducks may see swelling of the liver, surface bleeding, and Yellow spotty necrosis, spleen necrosis, pericardial effusion, hemorrhage of the heart muscle, accumulation of pink exudates in the chest and abdomen cavity, and some skin may also have floating seeds, ulcers, etc. Third, the diagnostic points The main point for diagnosis of the disease is that the disease occurs in large adult ducks, and the site is poorly sanitized. It is often found that there are sharp rubble, trees and other foreign objects that can easily damage the duck's foot. The pad is swollen, and the swollen part cracks out of the pus. Fourth, prevention and control measures 1, at any time to clear the site of sharp foreign objects, to avoid causing damage to the duck. 2. Maintain the cleanliness of the duck farm and conduct regular spray disinfection. The effective disinfectant for Staphylococcus aureus is 0.3% peracetic acid. The disinfectant is non-toxic and has little irritation and can be used for poultry disinfection. At the same time, the reservoir should be effectively disinfected. 3. When the disease occurs, in addition to the above two measures, the sensitive duck antibiotics should be promptly used to treat the ducks. Among them, tetracycline or ciprofloxacin or norfloxacin is an effective drug suitable for condiment feeding. Both feeds can be mixed in 0.06-0.1% of the dose, and the whole group can take 4-5 days. At the same time, for ducks that have apparently been affected, penicillin or gentamycin can be used for injection. The dose is penicillin 4-50000 units/kg body weight, gentamicin 1-20000 units/kg body weight, injected once daily. , use 3-5 days. 4. For the duck farms where this disease occurs frequently, pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus should be considered to be separated from the field to prepare an inactivated vaccine for the prevention of immunization.
