Gumboro fever.
Hi, about two months ago,there was an alarm about gumboro in badagry,nigeria,hey i checked it out,there is no cause for alarm. Gumboro,what is that?.it is a viral infection of chicks, occurs at age 3-6weeks. The birds are sleepy,whitish diarhoea. The key to gumboro is its pattern, it strikes,the mortality reaches its peak at day 5 and drops by day 10.gumboro is a viral infection hence vaccination is very impt in poultry,if it strikes you can only avoid stress and sanitize the environment to kill the virus,as for the birds u can only give antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection as the birds immunity is reduced. Birds are fragile, vaccinate them so as to make profit.

Hello,how is life at your end?Readers have bombarded me with questions,so iwill answer questions for the one week. Ques,1 how do you recognise tuberculous organs and what steps do i take?. Tuberculous organs will appear bigger than normal,cheesy nodules are observed on the surface of the organ or when you cut through the organ,these nodules can be appear aspinpoint,diffused,or localised. The nodules are yellowish and when you cut through there is a gritty sound. The organ should not be consumed. Check the photoalbum at picasa mobile, for photo of tuberculous organ
