diarrhea and death OF PIGEONS IN THE NEST
The Escherichia coli, Gram negative bacteria belonging to the group of Enterobacteriaceae , is probably bacterial disease (colibacillosis) with increased mortality from diarrhea in nestlings of canaries. In outbreaks of diarrhea may also, or often, be present other Enterobacteriaceae
Adults can be carriers of E.coli , presenting the clinical problems during the breeding season .
E. coli can be considered a secondary pathogen and must be seen the presence of another major cause, such as poor hygiene, improper environment, poor diet or other management issues. Also important are other possible primary infections as Salmonella, Atoxoplasma , Circovirus or Polyomavirus.
The main symptom is diarrhea. The nests and the females are dirty, wet, yellow (popularly sweaty female) and chicks die from dehydration and cachexia.
Most incidence occurs in the first week of life.
The definitive diagnosis relies on culture of fecal samples or internal organs of dead pigeons.
Treatment consists of antibiotics, and based on the antibiogram. However, we can make treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics (Doxycycline or Enrofloxacin for example) effective for Gram before they have negative results.
Antibiotics should be administered simultaneously in the drinking water and raising dough from the day before hatching to the placement of the rings
also be corrected management problems. At this point, personal opinion that does not have shared, I have doubts about the desirability of further rearing (environmental changes in winter), lengthen as well as much input in summer (very hot). Indeed, if we look at these two periods is when we have problems. Both situations are produced with the good intention of obtaining the maximum number of offspring, but if in the end we probably are going to have copies, I think that we should not push too hard for our birds to be treated as ornithology is sports.
The differential diagnosis includes other bacterial, viral and protozoan that may also be the primary cause diarrhea and also take low: Salmonella, Polyomavirus , Circovirus , PMV -1. Atoxoplasma , Isospora and Chlamydophila ,
