Pasteur Poultry Clinic
consists of two main
sections. The first
section serves
industrial poultry farms
(broiler and layer
producer, turkey,
ostrich, duck and quill)
second section is
related to
miscellaneous birds
(pheasant, peacock,
guinea fowl, predator
birds) and also there
are special services for
caged birds (canary,
parrot, pigeon, mynah).
1- Autopsy, Advising and
Diagnosis the
Diseases
of
Poultry
Early recognition of
bird disease is
necessary for a
successful poultry
farmer. It permits an
immediate response,
often before the disease
is well established. In
most cases, it permits
more effective
medication and treatment
at less cost. In
addition to the savings
resulting from less
medication, quick
treatment can be of
economic importance in
reducing growth and
production losses.
Poultry producer must
consider this fact that
diagnosis of poultry
diseases is a scientific
procedure and has
several step including,
history taking, flock
inspection and dead bird
carcass autopsy. More
over some diseases can
only be identified by
laboratory procedures.
Because laboratory
techniques are expensive
and time consuming,
their success is very
dependent upon how well
the samples are
submitted for
examination.
By using experts in
poultry diseases and
application of
scientific methods and
the latest laboratory
techniques, Pasteur
poultry clinic is ready
to service and
technically advise
poultry producer.
Indeed the poultry
producers who are most
successful are those who
use the advice and
expertise of expert
veterinarian and thus
detect and control
poultry diseases in time
of to prevent any damage
to the flock.
2- Diagnosis the
Diseases of
Caged Birds
Most caged bird owners
know that caged birds
are unique creatures in
the way they respond to
and exhibit their
illnesses, because they
can hide the signs of
illness
It’s very interesting to
know that in the caged
birds, latent period or
the period during which
an animal is sick but
does not show obvious
signs of the disease, is
longer than other
animals.
This is because many
birds are flock
dwellers, with social
hierarchies. On this
basis, old, weak and
sick birds are attacked
by stronger birds and
will be deprived from
feed, water and mating.
For this reason, birds
instinctively try to
look healthy and hide
the illness, for as long
as possible, to avoid
this harassment.
By considering this fact
and the small size and
weight of most caged
birds, it is very
obvious that disease
diagnosis in caged birds
is very precise and
needs to the application
of laboratory methods.
Caged Birds Diseases
Diagnosis section in
Pasteur veterinary
clinic, by using new
facilities and
laboratory methods,
provides special
services for caged birds
owners.
Also, another service
in Pasteur clinic is
micro chipping in caged
birds. By this way, the
micro chipped birds,
will have an electronic
code as an international
identification card.
