---> Information that might help.Fowl Cholera
is an acute infectious disease of poultry, gamebirds, waterfowl, and wildbirds. The
mortality in the flock is usually severe. A chronic form of the disease may occur following an acute outbreak. The
causative agent for Fowl Cholera is Pasteurella multocida - a Gram negative bipolar staining bacterium.
*Transmission occurs by secretions from carrier birds, infected droppings, cannibalism of dead birds, contaminated water, feed, equipment, or clothing. Wild birds, predators and cats are considered to harbor and spread the disease.
* Clinical Signs : Sudden unexpected death in flock, depression, decreased feed intake, respiratory distress, cyanosis
(bluish-purple discoloration of the head) green watery diarrhea. The disease may be chronic, partiulary in chickens. Often there is swelling of a joint, footpad, wattles, or tendon sheaths over the caudal portion of the hock joint.
*Diagnosis: History, clinical signs and lesions observed at necreropsy of dead birds. A definitive diagnosis is made by bacterial
culture and isolation.
*Treatment : Use of antibiotics such as Sulfadimethoxine (agribon), tetracyclines, erythromycin (gallimycin) or penicillin will decrease mortality within the flock.
*Prevention : Sanitation, rodent and predator control, and proper disposal of dead birds. Commercial vaccines are available to aid in the control of fowl cholera within a flock. Vaccination is not recommended until fowl cholera becomes a problem on a premise. (This information was taken from the Cooperative Extension on Common Poultry Diseases)
