Uterine Prolapse in Poultry

What are the breeds that do not have the potential for uterine prolapse?

Hi Dr.Amfmh Amfmh
All breeds have the potential for uterine prolapse, but management can decrease or increase the cases.
With good management, uterine prolapse will decrease.
With bad management, uterine prolapse will increase.

Hello. Today I would like to talk about the prolapse of the uterus. What can you say?

Hi, Me Dr-Sheraz Ahmad
Well said that the phenomena may occur potentially in all breeds due to the upper said reasons, but here I'll add another reason which is
A.I. (artificial insemination) nowadays this technique is used in poultry birds which is also one of the predisposing factors of U.F
Improper and unhygienic AI materials and environment may lead to U.F.

Yes, it is a big issue in both types of birds: Breeders and Layers. So many reasons discussed and I fully agreed with that one thing in layers flock 4-6 wks body weights target achiveing is important and in the same way for Breeders it is also point to focus on achieving this target body weight .
Further grading, feeding the flock according to the weights are also important up to 10 weeks of age and try not to over weight during this period will help in later stage to avoid the Uterine prolapse case.
Careful observation around 18 wks of age for any types of enteritis which can lead to NE will also cause Prolapse as body weights can be on lower side and Light stimulation when started it may be a cause of Prolapse .
An other cause which should be keep in mind the very fine mesh Particle size is also causing rectal prolapse in growing stage so Fiber ratio in the feed must be consider for it .
Thanks
