Digestion & Metabolism 2: Poultry Intestinal Dz Flashcards
COCCIDIOSIS…
what TYPE of ORGANISM? what’s the GENUS?
tends to affect WHAT SPECIES? (2)
signs? (3) which one INDICATES this disease?
HIGH likelihood of…
PROTOZOA, EIMIERIUM
affects…
1. CHICKENS
2. TURKEYS
signs?
1. BLOODY DROPPINGS –> INDICATES DZ
2. DROOPY/DEPRESSED
3. D+
HIGH likelihood of MORTALITY
4 IMPORTANT strains of COCCIDIA & their LOCATIONS in CHICKENS?
these strains are ALL…
- EIMERIA ACERVULINA = DUODENUM
- EIMERIA MAXIMA = JEJUNUM
- EIMERIA NECATRIX = JEJUNUM
- EIMERIA TENELLA = CECUM
these strains are ALL TREATED THE SAME WAY
COCCIDIOSIS..
mostly affects COMMERCIAL birds between WHAT ages? in BACKYARD birds, can affect…
COCCIDIA common in environments where…
a common lesIon? what does it mean? (2)
usually affects COMMERCIAL YOUNG birds between 3-6 WEEKS, but in BACKYARD birds can be ANY AGE
COCCIDIA common in environments where LITTER GETS MOIST & WET
common lesion = “PASTING” of the vent, meaning it’s FECES or URATES on the VENTS
–> FECES = D+
–> URATES = RENAL FAILURE
in DUODENUM of bird, WHAT ORGANISM IS THIS?
EIMERIA ACERVULINA
EIMERIA MAXIMA/NECATRIX
location? (2 names but same location)
pathophysiology? (1 overall thing, then 3)
what SECONDARY dz can it cause?
LOCATION = JEJUNUM/MIDGUT
pathophysiology? DISRUPTS IN MIDGUT…
1. INTESTINAL LINING
2. MOVEMENT OF FOOD
3. pH
can cause SECONDARY NECROTIC ENTERITIS
ID LESION in MIDGUT/JEJUNUM (2 possible organisms)
- EIMERIA NECATRIX
- EIMERIA MAXIMA
birds have a ___ cecum
PAIRED
ID LESION?
3 possible dz? give ONE specific organism for second one
BLOODY CECAL CORE
- SALMONELLA
- COCCIDIOSIS (EIMERIA TENELLA)
- HISTOMONIASIS or BLACKHEAD
TURKEYS vs. CHICKENS COCCIDIA?
TURKEYS ARE INFECTED BY THEIR OWN COCCIDIA, NO CROSSOVER & DIFFERENT LESIONS
DIAGNOSIS of COCCIDIOSIS (2)
- on NECROPSY EXAM, SCRAPE INTESTINAL LINING from NECROPSY SPECIMEN
- FECAL FLOATATION (let it GO LONGER THAN NORMAL)
TREATMENT for COCCIDIOSIS (2)
which drug is ONLY limited to ___ birds?
- mostly AMPROLINUM (CORID)
- SULFA DRUGS –> LIMITED TO GAME BIRDS
FOUR PREVENTION for COCCIDIOSIS? which one is KEY?
which is ONLY in COMMERCIAL industry? when is it given (& which one is MOST of the time)? (2)
- LIVE vaccines to BOOST IMMUNITY
- ANTICOCCIDIALS
- HOUSE MANAGEMENT
- DRY LITTER –> KEY
only LIVE VACCINES given to COMMERCIAL BIRDS, and given…
1. HATCHERY –> MOST OF THE TIME
2. TRANSPORTATION FROM HATCHERY TO FARM
what 2 diseases are ASSOCIATED with COCCIDIOSIS? these diseases are BOTH…
what can INCREASE severity & INCIDENCE of disease?
2 diseases…
1. NECROTIC ENTERITIS
2. ULCERATIVE ENTERITIS
–> these diseases are BOTH CLOSTRIDIAL INFECTIONS
IMMUNOSUPPRESSION can INCREASE SEVERITY & INCIDENCE of DZ
NECROTIC ENTERITIS…
= definition?
affects what 2 species?
chronicity?
often secondary to…
what other 2 things can cause it?
2 clinical signs?
= BACTERIAL ENTERIC DZ
affects…
1. CHICKENS
2. TURKEYS
chronicity = ACUTE
often secondary to COCCIDIOSIS
other 2 things?
1. EATING FISH or WHEAT causing a DISTURBANCE OF INTESTINAL MICROFLORA
2. IMMUNOSUPPRESSION from INFECTIOUS BURSAL DZ
2 signs?
1. DEPRESSION
2. HIGH MORTALITY
2 descriptions for the INTESTINE? (top)
1 description for the MUCOSA? (bottom)
WHAT DZ?
INTESTINE = FRIABLE & SWOLLEN
MUCOSA = NECROTIC
NECROTIC ENTERITIS
