CATDOLL: How to accurately and quickly diagnose chicken diseases?

1. How to accurately and quickly diagnose chicken diseases?

For technicians in veterinary pharmaceutical companies, the most basic requirement for practitioners is to accurately and quickly diagnose chicken diseases and provide reasonable prevention and control measures.

Therefore, if we want to do this job well, if we want to gain a foothold in this industry and develop for a long time, we must master this skill proficiently, and our judgment of the disease must be very accurate, minimizing the error as much as possible.

So, how can we accurately and quickly diagnose chicken diseases? What are the techniques and issues to pay attention to in the process of diagnosing chicken diseases? In the nearly ten years of working in this field, the author has summarized some experiences and methods, and here is a statement: First of all, diagnosing chicken diseases cannot be separated from the guidance of theoretical knowledge.

For example, the pathogen, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, pathological changes, and laboratory diagnosis of a certain chicken disease.

We should keep this knowledge firmly in mind and memorize it thoroughly when we are in school.

In actual work, we must combine theory with practice and link them closely. Only with solid theoretical knowledge as a foundation can we achieve a higher degree of accuracy in our judgment of diseases.

Then, in the actual operation process, there are several steps to judge chicken diseases: 1. Observation. The content of observation includes: the mental state, neatness, uniformity, density of the flock, the environment in the chicken house, the integrity of the equipment, ventilation, temperature control, the freshness of the feed, changes in the flock's feces, the proportion of sick chickens, the various symptoms exhibited by sick chickens, etc.

2. Listen to the overall sounds of the flock, the various respiratory symptoms they exhibit, and how they differ from the sounds made by normal chickens.

3. Be sure to ask the farm owner or breeder about the age of the chickens, feed intake, water intake, egg production, length of illness, medication process, vaccination status, mortality rate, and some details in feeding and management.

4. Autopsy Autopsy is the most important link in the entire process of disease diagnosis. For many diseases, the final diagnosis can only be made through dissection.

Therefore, mastering anatomy and being able to accurately distinguish pathological changes are essential skills for every practitioner.

5. Thinking and Analysis After going through these necessary steps, we can have a preliminary judgment on the chicken disease, but to draw a conclusion still requires careful analysis and thinking.

This step is particularly important in the absence of laboratory diagnosis.

The analysis mainly includes: combining all the information seen, heard, asked, and obtained from the autopsy, linking it to the current epidemic situation in the region, excluding irrelevant items, integrating all corresponding items, and finally drawing conclusions.

Then come up with a treatment or management plan.

When judging and grasping chicken diseases, we must follow one principle: take it seriously and be careful and responsible.

Be careful to avoid the following types of mistakes: 1. Empiricism and blind judgment.

It often happens that some people simply look at the symptoms of the chickens and then arbitrarily draw conclusions, saying that they have a certain disease and use certain medicines. This practice is irresponsible and undesirable.

2. Rely only on theory and not connect with reality.

Some people often do this: after simply dissecting one or two chickens, they say that the chickens have some disease and will feed them some medicine.

This approach is also not advisable.

Sometimes one or two dead chickens cannot represent the entire flock, and blindly administering medicine will delay the treatment of the disease.

3. Do not distinguish between the important and the unimportant, and throw everything into one pot.

Sometimes chicken diseases are more complicated or there are too many mixed types, and some people cannot distinguish the main from the secondary. They give medicine to all the symptoms they see, and feed a large amount of medicine at a time. Not only will it not cure the disease, but it will also cause a burden to the chickens.

4. Unclear concepts and inappropriate handling methods.

Some people say that chickens have chronic breathing if they see that they have been breathing for a long time, or that they have white loose feces if they see that the chickens have white diarrhea. Such a rough judgment will lead to a large deviation in treatment and cause delays in the treatment of the disease.

5. Only studying pathology but failing to think comprehensively.

There are many problems that may occur in feeding management, the quality of feed, the characteristics of the breed, the influence of seasonal environment and other related factors. If you do not consider these issues and just blindly look for the cause of the problem, it is easy to get into a dead end.

In short, in the process of work, use your brain more, summarize more, practice basic skills well, and make judgments on chicken diseases carefully and patiently with a serious and responsible attitude towards work and customers.

It is of great benefit to work, customers and ourselves. Even without advanced experimental equipment, we can have a clear idea and become experts in the industry.

2. How to diagnose AIDS?

AIDS is mainly determined by clinical symptoms and laboratory tests. The symptoms are mainly to see whether there is unexplained fever, low resistance, repeated colds, whether there are swollen lymph nodes, including lymph nodes in the mandible, armpits, groin and other parts, whether there is a rash on the body for no reason, bleeding for no reason, the skin is more easily injured, and whether there is long-term diarrhea. Some serious complications may occur in the later stage, such as recurrent pneumoconiosis, oral candidiasis, etc. In general, when these symptoms appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test for HIV antibodies. If it is positive, blood must be drawn again to check HIV nucleic acid, and these nucleic acids are all positive. Basically, AIDS can be confirmed.

3. How to determine the type of crystal based on the melting point?

It is unlikely to judge a crystal by its melting point. The melting point of CaF2, which is also an orthorhombic crystal system, is 1400°C, while the melting point of CsI is less than 700°C. The melting point is related to the bond energy, and the different bond lengths in different elements and different crystal systems, such as the relationship between graphite and diamond, result in very different melting points.

For example, the same metal bond, iron is solid at room temperature, while the metal bond of mercury is broken at room temperature. 1L's answer is to distinguish them according to ionic crystals and molecular crystals, which is a very reasonable point of view. However, this explanation is not very useful to lz.

4. How to determine whether chickens have roundworms?

Ascaris is rarely heard of, but nematodes are there.

Chicken gastric nematode disease is a parasitic disease caused by the small hooked nematode (Axe hooked nematode) parasitizing in the chicken's gizzard, with grasshoppers, locusts, weevils, beetles, etc. as intermediate hosts, the spiral nematode (Spiral nematode) parasitizing in the chicken's glandular stomach, with pillbugs as intermediate hosts, and the American nematode parasitizing in the stomach, esophagus and small intestine of birds.

Epidemiology

Life history: The life history of gastric nematodes begins when the chicken swallows an intermediate host containing infectious larvae. The larvae molt and develop into adults in the chicken. After mating, the male and female adults lay eggs that are excreted in the feces. The eggs are swallowed by the intermediate host, hatch in its body, and develop into infectious larvae.

Pathology

When infected by the spiral nematode, the lesions are mainly in the glandular stomach, which is manifested as congestion or bleeding in the glandular stomach. In severe cases, the mucosa forms cauliflower-like ulcers, the front end of the worm body is deeply buried in the ulcer, and the glandular papilla around the lesion becomes flat. When infected by the axe hook nematode, the lesions are mainly in the gizzard, which is manifested as hemorrhagic inflammation of the gizzard mucosa (the white part after tearing off the chicken gizzard). There are soft nodules containing parasites in the muscles of the gizzard. Severe infections cause gizzard damage and affect the function of the gizzard.

5. How to identify chicken coccidiosis and the key points of prevention of chicken coccidiosis?

Chicken coccidiosis is mostly caused by coccidia of the family Eimeria, among which caecal coccidia (Eimeria tenella) and small intestinal coccidia (Eimeria toxicophila) are more common. The following methods can be used to confirm chicken coccidiosis.

1. Is the chicken house damp? The oocysts of chicken coccidia will accelerate the infection and spread of chickens in a humid environment. Especially when it is rainy and the litter is damp, coccidiosis is often prone to break out. Therefore, to prevent coccidiosis, you must first keep the chicken house dry.

2. Is there blood in the litter? Both cecal coccidia and intestinal coccidia will cause blood in the stool. Generally, the blood in the cecal coccidia stool is bright red blood, and sometimes there will be traces of blood on the chicken's anus. The blood in the intestinal coccidia stool is dark red, sometimes maroon. Because coccidia can cause intestinal bleeding, chickens infected with coccidia will mostly be anemic, and the appearance is that the comb is white or yellow without blood. (Note that chicken coccidiosis and chicken necrotic enteritis should be distinguished)

3. Dissect infected chickens: To distinguish whether chicken coccidiosis is caused by cecal coccidiosis or intestinal coccidiosis, the most direct method is to dissect infected chickens. For cecal coccidiosis, the cecum is swollen and filled with blood or blood clots. For intestinal coccidiosis, the small intestine or duodenum is swollen and congested, with a large number of bleeding spots on the surface.

To prevent and treat chicken coccidiosis, first of all, keep the chicken house or litter dry. Secondly, you can use Dahua Nongyi Miejia to regularly disinfect the litter of the chicken house, and the chicken house can be disinfected with quicklime (especially after the chicken house is released on rainy days).
