Thyphoid Fever in Poultry

Same problems I´m facing nowadays but no treatment is effective. You may use cipro

Dear,
First of all differenciate salmonella to fever. If it´s Salmonella then go for antibiotics and choose relevant to condition and diagnoses but if it´s alone fever which is mostly a tropical region problem due to nutritional or metabolic imbalance in other word due to mild or moderate liver problem,take a history and use metabolic enhanser like digestive and liver tonic preferably silymarin or amino acid base product or organic acids may be good choice but periodic use is requested say 4 to 6 hours a day, Multi Vitamins are also a good choice,
In short rely on nutrition rather antibiotics to cure fever for a longer time,,,,

All vets
to treat salmonella use cipro +amoxicillin. Also sulpha clozine sodium
Thanks

Fowl typhoid which is caused by one of the two avian adopted strain of Salmonella bacteria, Salmonella Gallinarum. This can cause mortality in birds of any age. I have come across with cases involving broiler chicks, particularly during the first 7 days of inputs, broiler breeders and layers. First few days of input, direct culture from yolk sac, liver and heart blood on XLD (or Macconkey) agar will never miss if samples are taken from affected chicks. Experience with 18 weeks old broiler breeders, sampling from spleen (enlarged) will definitely yield positive results. Bronzed enlarged liver is most of the time, associated with fowl typhoid. Enteritis of anterior small intestine is also evident.

Small glistering colourless colonies on XLD plates result after 15 hours of incubation at 27-30 oC, few of which turn black after about 18 hours of incubation. All the colonies become black after 24 hours of incubation. API 20E miniaturized rapid microbiological identification system is a good tool for identification. During early mortality of broilers, amoxicillin is a good choice. All the isolates of S.gallinarum I came across with were sensitive to commonly used antibiotics in the poultry industry. When S.gallinarum infection comes with E.coli infection, treatment becomes fairly difficult; administration of amoxicillin with a third generation antibiotic such as norfloxacin will work well.

Here in in the South of Peru (South America) we are facing an aggressive outbreak of avian Typhoid (Salmonella gallinarum) after 10 years, sensitive to the aminoglycoside gentamicin sulfate injected subcutaneously with good results: mortality 0%
