    If you’re raising chickens, this thread could save your flock.

     

    🧵1/ Pullorum Disease (aka Bacillary White Diarrhea) is a silent killer in poultry. Caused by Salmonella pullorum, it mainly hits chicks hard — and fast.

     

    Let’s break it down 👇

     

     

    2/ 🚨 What to look for:

     

    Chicks infected with Pullorum may show:

     

    White/pasty diarrhea sticking to the vent

     

    Closed eyes, droopy wings

     

    Huddling near heat source

     

    Labored breathing

     

    Weakness, stunted growth

     

    Pale comb & wattles

     

    Clogged vents from dried feces

     

     

    Don’t ignore these signs.

     

     

    3/ 🔬 Where it comes from:

     

    Pullorum spreads fast through:

     

    Infected eggs

     

    Contaminated equipment

     

    Contact with carriers (birds that look healthy but spread the bacteria)

     

     

    One infected chick can endanger the whole flock. 😷

     

     

    4/ 🛡️ Prevention is key:

     

    Buy chicks only from disease-free, certified hatcheries 🐥✅

     

    Disinfect brooders, feeders, drinkers regularly

     

    Avoid overcrowding

     

    Ensure good ventilation

     

    Keep strict biosecurity: No visitors, clean boots, separate age groups

     

    Test breeder birds & cull infected ones

     

     

     

    5/ 💊 Treatment (only under vet supervision):

     

    Antibiotics like Furazolidone or Tetracycline may help.
