Introduction Gout is a metabolic disorder in which there is precipitation and accumulation of Uric acid crystals in Kidneys, Viscera, Peritoneum and Joints, resulting in mortality. In birds, Uric acid is the end product of protein and purine metabolism and is normally excreted through Kidneys. Uric acid is insoluble in water and since birds lack in enzyme Uricase, there is no further convers...
I must thank Dr Narsapur for giving such a wonderful information about GOUT in poultry & i also appreciate trials of Dr Solanki . But as Dr Jaydeep Mulik said it is really a challenge to researchers to find a permanent remedy on gout , It has to be controlled at breeder level only so as to avoid losses .As per my observations by increasing brooding temperature , giving grinded maize for 48 hrs , & treating flock with Jaggery water & plain VIT A is giving good results atleast in western regions of Maharashtra. I also agree to Dr Narsapur to give 50% Maize + 50% feed which will control mortality to a greater extent .or can be used as a precautionary measure for first 3 days to avoid occurrence . Once again thanks a lot for detail information provided .
It is really good informative article for PREVENTIVE GOUT. Apart from different etiology of GOUT,there are viral causes and so far we were talking about nephropathic IB strain only but AVIAN Infectious Nephritis Virus is another player found to cause Gout in poultry.Because of which IB live and Killed (so called IB Nephro) are seen ineffective in prevention of Gout. The managemental tools suggested by Dr Narsapur are seen very effective to minimise the damage of Gout. Glycerine in drinking water seen effective in some cases as it works as a Osmotic Diuretic Agent that draws water into renal tubules and prevent water reabsorbtion from it. Dr Sunil Sawant, MUMBAI
why should we take precautions before for gout? by starting goutex on the 3rd day even if gout is not there ......doctor plzzz give me advice on that ...can we do that.....!!!!
Thanks Dr VSN. Good article.
Vitamin A helps kidney to excrete uric acid. Deficiency of Vitamin A mainly results acute Gout.
In acute gout outbreaks vitamin A ( Liquid form ) addition in drinking water plays a vital role in treating and controlling Gout.

My year old rooster has gout (articular) on his right pedal and it looks hard. He is on medication (allopurinol) in dilution. My query is how long does it take for the hardness and that swelling to subside? I really feel bad for him, what other things can be done?
Very nice discussion. Recently Gout is a great problem in broiler.so far I understand Goutex has good rule in controlling of gout . Actually what is composition of goutex . We are using alantoin in the treatment of gout but not getting good results gagaries n vit A is used but recovery rate is not up to the mark . If any latest information is available pl send me
I am a broiler veterinarian from Malaysia. Currently many broiler farms here is affected by visceral gout starting around 2 weeks and linger on sometimes until harvesting. Other than management factors I cant find any medication that is able to treat or minimize the condition effectively. I do note that there are many gout treatment medicines either chemical or herbal available in India. I read the above article on Goutex. Can anyone furnish details of the ingredient of Goutex? I would also like a further proposal of some other medicines based on actual trials and efficacy for me to compare and understand. Thank you.
