Typhoid in Layers

Dear Saleem, as a very first step your emphasis must be on accurate diagnosis,it is very easy to relate the typhoid with any pathological event in the body of a layer bird,it is also very easy to name typhoid for any pathological condition in layer birds,the main issue could remain unaddressed though,check your flock against lice,mites or the presence of any ecto parasites on the breast & beneath feathers,investigate about over heating of the birds due to any cut in water supply during peak hours of drinking,or feeding birds in still high temperatures,some time minor things are overlooked & even accurate diagnosis remains unsuccessful as a
successful prognosis.
over medication also results in more severity & pathogenicity of the disease,high humidity & poor ventilation also contributes towards pyrexia. Anyway you must go for some antipyretic medication like Thympyrine 100ml,dose is 1 ml for2 liters of drinking water + some diuretic like citralka 1 ml for 2 liters of drinking water + syp.jetepar 1 ml for 1 liter of drinking water for 12 hours in morning daily for two consecutive days at least.
Thanks.

Dear Saleem,

I do agree in the above comments of Dr Durrani,

II would also like to suggest the following if this is a case of salmonellosis:

1. In feed use sodium di formate (like "Formi NDF") 2 Kg per MT of feed for 1 month then 1 Kg continiously.
2. Initial 2-3 wk use good blend of Organic acid through water.
3. Adopt strict Rodent control method as rodent will spread the disease.
4. I addition to this you can select one good probiotic for feed which contain Pediococcus acidilacti strain.

Regards,

Dr. Barman
