What do you think? Blank Ped Card.pdf

Many roads to rome---the most consistent guy that flys just up the road from me has central heating in his lofts with dehumidifiers and timed electric ventilation --his birds look great and fly great.

if you are insulating your loft dont use ply that is too thin to line it out --i did and the ply warped --dont use melamine covered chipboard -easy to clean but on a damp day moisture stands on it. if you are thinking of insulating the floor [local guy done it says helps stopping drinker freezing] dont line the floor with kitchen lino-on a damp day like a skating ring. IMO-your loft is a breathing thing,dont stop it breathing.

try this--see if you can open this then pic vac sheet.pdf

hope this works Blank Vac Sheet.doc

Respiratory Infections Cause and Transmission Respiratory infections are Caused by bacteria and infectious diseases include examined as mycoplasmosis catarrh and Ornithosis, Caused by Chlamydia. Eliminate the bacteria live in the upper respiratory tract and can be hard to. Too often, many infected birds never recover completely, and, while active without symptoms, these birds become carriers of the disease. Because birds can be 'silent' carriers, or have very few or mild symptoms, the only way a racing fancier may realize his bird is sick is through a poor racing performance. Signs and Symptoms of Respiratory Infections <LI closure_uid_paa302="1103">Unwillingness to fly or poor racing performance <LI closure_uid_paa302="1094">Loose greenish droppings <LI closure_uid_paa302="1102">Weight loss <LI closure_uid_paa302="1105">Throat mucus <LI closure_uid_paa302="1100">Open beak and heavy breathing <LI closure_uid_paa302="1106">Rasping or gurgling when breathing <LI closure_uid_paa302="1107">Watery eye discharge Swelling in the eye area<LI closure_uid_paa302="1089">Nasal discharge Air sac or crop swelling from air trapped under the skin as the air sac tearsPreventative Measures Quarantine new birdsMaintain good ventilation<LI closure_uid_paa302="1099">Keep loft draft free Maintain low dust and ammonia levelsKeep litter cleanControl humidity<LI closure_uid_paa302="1097">Do not overcrowd Limit contact with wild birds (70% are either infected or carry a respiratory disease)Note: Do not attempt to treat or prevent respiratory infections 'hit and miss' with sporadic treatments at low doses. This can cause Rapidly resistance to effective drugs. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions drug in any and all treatments.

Sour Crop (aka candida or thrush) Cause and Transmission This fungal, digestive tract infection is very common. Often, it is the result of excessive antibiotic use.

E-Coli (aka Collibacillosis) Cause and Transmission This intestinal disease is Caused by the E-Coli bacteria and is more prevalent than Initially Thought. E coli spreads quickly through the loft because it is in the droppings and is transmitted through infected dust particles, in rodent droppings and by infected pigeon droppings coming into contact with nested eggs.

Coccidiosis Cause and Transmission Another very common disease Caused by a protozoan, coccidiosis infects the birds' intestines and is highly contagious. Pretty much all pigeons carry the disease but most adult birds are immune enough to keep the disease at bay and remain healthy. However, young birds or stressed birds can become infected. Stressors include things examined as racing, showing, relocation and lack of feed and water. Coccidiosis is transmitted by drinking unclean water and through contact with moist bird droppings. Signs and Symptoms of coccidiosis Loss of appetite and little desire to drink<LI closure_uid_n2j5hn="1299">Paint desire to move and wants to remain puffed up on perches, often with closed eyes Droppings are loose, greenish and can be very wateryWeight lossDeath in young birdsPreventative Measures Sanitary measures, keep the loft dry and clean, sanitized drinkersKeep away from feed chance of contamination with droppingsKeep feed away from contact with rodentsPrevent birds from drinking unclean water from gutters or mud puddlesQuarantine and observe new birds for several weeksDisinfect race baskets weeklyGive returning racers a preventative treatment soon after their returnE-Coli (aka Collibacillosis) Cause and Transmission This intestinal disease is Caused by the E-Coli bacteria and is more prevalent than Initially Thought.
