| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
acute and classical form. Lameness or paralysis around 12 weeks of age may be indicative of this disease. Acute form is manifested with sudden deaths due to formation of lymphomas in the visceral organs. Birds may show depression, anaemia, anorexia, emaciation and weight loss, diarrhoea, etc. |
| Disease Description |
Common indications of a sick chicken include: hiding, inactivity, pale comb or wattles, unusual droppings, unusual posture, lethargy, lack of appetite and reduced egg production- all indications that closer observation is needed. |
| Disease Control |
To prevent spread of disease, control rodents and insects, keep buildings clean and dispose of dead birds. Clean and disinfect the facilities in the following manner: Remove all birds from the building. Clean out the old feed and remove all movable equipment. |
| Disease Prevention |
Vaccination using inactivated whole culture of organisms containing an adjuvant can protect chickens against the disease. In endemic areas, two doses of vaccine, each of which must consist of at least 108 colony-forming units are advocated, given subcutaneously, the first at about 16 weeks of age. |
| Precautions |
Wear protective clothing, including long-sleeved shirts and pants. ...
Wear neutral-colored clothing. ...
Inspect vehicles for tsetse flies before entering. ...
Avoid bushes. ...
Use insect repellant. |
| Procedure of Use |
When the poultry birds are suffering from sleeping sickness, these are lazy and sluggish for the whole day and eventually the birds stop churning and taking the feed. Due to the disease, there is expulsion of white excreta by the birds and many times the birds die if the disease persists.
To cure this state, use 10 to12 bulbs of garlic (Allium cepa) in which three seeds of pepper (Piper nigrum) are added and crushed well. Two teaspoons of heated desi ghee i.e. nearly 7-10 gram is added and drenched to the affected bird. If the bird only feeds on the bulbs of garlic (Allium cepa) then feed it with pepper (Piper nigrum) and desi ghee. By this practice, the birds are cured of sleeping sickness. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Infectious agents are living organisms that cause disease or illness and can be spread from bird to bird. These include 'germs' (bacteria, viruses, fungi), external parasites (lice and mites) and internal parasites (worms, coccidiosis, blackhead). Infectious agents that cause disease are also referred to as pathogens. |
| Global Context |
Spread world wide |
| Lesson Implication |
Clinical signs: In affected chickens greater than 3 weeks of age, there is usually a rapid onset of the disease with a sudden drop in feed and water consumption, watery droppings leading to soiling of feathers around the vent, and vent pecking. Feathers appear ruffled. |
