BACTERIAL INFECTIONS ARE A COMMON CAUSE OF DIARRHEA IN
AVIAN BIRDS. ESCHERICHIA COLI, SALMONELLA SPP., CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI, AND
CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS ARE BACTERIAL SPECIES THAT CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA IN BIRDS.
TREATMENT OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS INVOLVES ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY AND SUPPORTIVE
CARE. GOOD HYGIENE AND BIOSECURITY PRACTICES CAN HELP PREVENT BACTERIAL
INFECTIONS IN BIRDS.
ESCHERICHIA
COLI/E-COLI.
ESCHERICHIA
COLI IS A GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIUM THAT IS PART OF THE NORMAL GUT FLORA OF BIRDS.
HOWEVER, CERTAIN STRAINS OF E. COLI CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA IN BIRDS. THESE STRAINS
PRODUCE TOXINS THAT DAMAGE THE INTESTINAL LINING AND CAUSE INFLAMMATION.
SYMPTOMS
OF E. COLI INFECTION INCLUDE WATERY DIARRHEA, LOSS OF APPETITE, LETHARGY, AND
WEIGHT LOSS. IN SEVERE CASES, BIRDS MAY DEVELOP SEPTICEMIA, WHICH IS A
LIFE-THREATENING BACTERIAL INFECTION THAT CAN SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY.
SALMONELLA
SPP.
SALMONELLA
SPP IS A GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIUM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE DIARRHEA IN BIRDS.
COMMONLY FOUND IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND CAN INFECT A WIDE RANGE OF HOSTS,
INCLUDING BIRDS, MAMMALS, AND REPTILES. BIRDS CAN CONTRACT SALMONELLA INFECTION
FROM CONTAMINATED FOOD, WATER, OR FECES. SALMONELLA CAN ALSO BE TRANSMITTED
FROM BIRD TO BIRD, AND SOME BIRD SPECIES CAN BE CARRIERS OF THE BACTERIA
WITHOUT SHOWING ANY SYMPTOMS.
SYMPTOMS
OF SALMONELLA INFECTION IN BIRDS INCLUDE WATERY DIARRHEA, VOMITING, LETHARGY,
AND DEHYDRATION. IN SEVERE CASES, BIRDS MAY DEVELOP SEPTICEMIA, WHICH IS A
LIFE-THREATENING BACTERIAL INFECTION THAT CAN SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY.
SALMONELLA
INFECTION CAN ALSO BE TRANSMITTED TO HUMANS, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO PRACTICE
GOOD HYGIENE WHEN HANDLING BIRDS WITH SALMONELLA INFECTION. SALMONELLA CAN
CAUSE A RANGE OF SYMPTOMS IN HUMANS, FROM MILD GASTROENTERITIS TO SEVERE
BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS. CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, AND IMMUNOCOMPROMISED
INDIVIDUALS ARE AT HIGHER RISK FOR SEVERE SALMONELLA INFECTION.
CAMPYLOBACTER
JEJUNI.
CAMPYLOBACTER
JEJUNI IS A BACTERIUM THAT CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA IN AVIAN BIRDS.
CAMPYLOBACTERIOSIS IS A ZOONOTIC DISEASE, WHICH MEANS IT CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO
HUMANS. BIRDS CAN CONTRACT THE INFECTION FROM CONTAMINATED FOOD, WATER, OR
FECES.
SYMPTOMS
OF CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI INFECTION IN BIRDS INCLUDE WATERY OR BLOODY DIARRHEA,
DECREASED APPETITE, LETHARGY, AND DEHYDRATION. IN SEVERE CASES, BIRDS MAY
DEVELOP SEPTICEMIA, WHICH IS A LIFE-THREATENING BACTERIAL INFECTION THAT CAN
SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY.
IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI INFECTION CAN ALSO BE TRANSMITTED
TO HUMANS THROUGH CONTACT WITH CONTAMINATED BIRDS, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO
PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE WHEN HANDLING BIRDS WITH CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI INFECTION.
SYMPTOMS IN HUMANS INCLUDE DIARRHEA, FEVER, ABDOMINAL PAIN, AND NAUSEA.
CLOSTRIDIUM
PERFRINGENS.
CLOSTRIDIUM
PERFRINGENS IS A BACTERIUM THAT CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA IN AVIAN BIRDS. IT IS A
SPORE-FORMING BACTERIUM THAT IS COMMONLY FOUND IN SOIL, WATER, AND FECES. BIRDS
CAN CONTRACT THE INFECTION FROM CONTAMINATED FOOD OR WATER, AS WELL AS FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL SOURCES.
SYMPTOMS
OF CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS INFECTION IN BIRDS INCLUDE WATERY DIARRHEA,
DECREASED APPETITE, LETHARGY, AND DEHYDRATION. IN SEVERE CASES, BIRDS MAY
DEVELOP NECROTIC ENTERITIS, WHICH IS A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE INTESTINAL LINING.
INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLLING
BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN THE AVIARY IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH OF THE
BIRDS, PREVENT ECONOMIC LOSSES, AND REDUCE THE RISK OF TRANSMISSION TO HUMANS.
HERE ARE SOME WAYS THAT BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN POULTRY CAN BE CONTROLLED:
MAINTAIN
GOOD HYGIENE: KEEPING
THE BIRD'S LIVING AREA CLEAN AND SANITIZED IS CRUCIAL. REGULARLY CLEAN THE
CAGE, PERCHES, FOOD AND WATER BOWLS, AND ANY OTHER ITEMS IN THE BIRD'S LIVING
SPACE. USE A DISINFECTANT THAT IS SAFE FOR BIRDS AND EFFECTIVE AGAINST SPECIFIC
BACTERIAL STRAINS.
NUTRITIONAL
SUPPORT: PROPER
NUTRITION CAN HELP SUPPORT THE BIRD'S IMMUNE SYSTEM AND OVERALL HEALTH, WHICH
CAN HELP PREVENT BACTERIAL INFECTIONS. PROVIDE A VARIETY OF SEED MIXES, FRUITS,
VEGETABLES, SOFT FOODS, AND SOME VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS TO ENSURE BIRDS ARE
GETTING A BALANCED, NUTRITIOUS DIET.
CONSIDER
PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS: PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS CAN HELP PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF
BENEFICIAL BACTERIA IN THE BIRD'S GUT, WHICH CAN STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
AND PREVENT THE GROWTH OF HARMFUL BACTERIA. PROBIOTICS CAN BE ADDED TO THE
BIRDS' FEED OR WATER. CONSULT WITH A VETERINARIAN TO DETERMINE THE BEST
PROBIOTIC FOR YOUR BIRD.
BIOSECURITY
MEASURES: PROPER BIOSECURITY MEASURES ARE CRITICAL IN
PREVENTING BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN BIRDS. THIS INCLUDES LIMITING CONTACT
BETWEEN WILD BIRDS AND DOMESTIC POULTRY, CONTROLLING ACCESS TO THE AVIARY, AND
FOLLOWING STRICT SANITATION PRACTICES FOR EQUIPMENT, VEHICLES, AND PERSONNEL.
NORMAL
QUARANTINE: QUARANTINE
NEW BIRDS FOR AT LEAST 60 TO 90 DAYS BEFORE INTRODUCING THEM TO THE EXISTING
FLOCK. THIS HELPS PREVENT THE SPREAD OF ANY POTENTIAL INFECTIONS.
QUARANTINE
SICK BIRDS: IF YOU
HAVE MULTIPLE BIRDS, ISOLATE ANY BIRD THAT SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF ILLNESS. BACTERIAL
INFECTIONS CAN EASILY SPREAD FROM BIRD TO BIRD, SO PREVENTING CONTACT WITH
HEALTHY BIRDS IS IMPORTANT.
ADMINISTER
ANTIBIOTICS: IF
YOUR BIRD HAS A BACTERIAL INFECTION, YOUR VETERINARIAN MAY PRESCRIBE
ANTIBIOTICS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND TO
CONTINUE GIVING THE ANTIBIOTICS FOR THE FULL DURATION PRESCRIBED, EVEN IF THE
BIRD'S SYMPTOMS IMPROVE. OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS CAN LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA.
VACCINATION: VACCINES ARE AVAILABLE FOR
SOME BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN THE AVIARY, SUCH AS SALMONELLA AND E. COLI.
VACCINATION CAN HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE AND REDUCE THE SEVERITY
OF THE ILLNESS IN INFECTED BIRDS. CONSULT WITH A VETERINARIAN TO DETERMINE
WHICH VACCINES ARE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR BIRDS.
MONITOR
YOUR BIRD'S HEALTH: KEEP A
CLOSE EYE ON YOUR BIRD'S BEHAVIOR AND APPEARANCE. IF YOU NOTICE ANY CHANGES,
SUCH AS DECREASED ACTIVITY, LOSS OF APPETITE, CHANGES IN DROPPINGS, OR SUDDEN
DEATH. CONTACT YOUR VETERINARIAN. EARLY DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF BACTERIAL
INFECTIONS CAN IMPROVE YOUR OTHER BIRD'S CHANCES OF RECOVERY.
MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES: GOOD
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, SUCH AS PROPER VENTILATION, TEMPERATURE CONTROL, AND
HYGIENE, CAN HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN THE AVIARY.
PRACTICE
BIOSECURITY: LIMIT
THE EXPOSURE OF YOUR BIRDS TO OTHER ANIMALS, INCLUDING WILD BIRDS, AND TO
PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTACT WITH OTHER BIRDS. ENSURE THAT YOU WASH YOUR HANDS
BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING BIRDS, AND CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES AND SHOES IF YOU HAVE
BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OTHER BIRDS.
EDUCATION: EDUCATION AND AWARENESS
PROGRAMS CAN HELP FARMERS AND OTHERS INVOLVED IN THE BIRD INDUSTRY LEARN ABOUT
THE RISKS OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BIOSECURITY MEASURES,
GOOD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, AND EARLY DETECTION AND RESPONSE.
