自从禁止有效的饲料添加剂和治疗剂以来,已经成为一种重要的疾病,随后,土耳其生产的福利问题。我们进行了一项基于访谈的病例系列研究,以产生有关31个H.meleagridis感染的羊群中可能的疾病偏爱状况的假设。确定的参数与一般农场(羊群管理,生物安全措施,等。)以及组织造口病特有的疾病管理。观察到一些生物安全措施不足。卫生锁和清洁的不当使用以及设备的消毒频率,衣服,卫生锁可能是有利于组织造口症的疾病。这些因素可能会增加引入H.meleagridis的风险以及病原体在受影响农场传播的风险。昆虫,野生鸟类,垫料,被污染的粪便可能是H.meleagridis的潜在载体。在71%的受影响羊群中观察到易感胃肠道疾病。此外,与较高温度相关的应激事件,鸟的运动,疫苗接种记录与临床组织造口病相关.结果强调需要良好的疾病控制和健康管理,以确保可持续的动物健康和福利。
Since the ban of effective feed additives and therapeutics,
histomonosis has become an important disease and, subsequently, a welfare issue for turkey production. We conducted an interview-based case series study to generate hypotheses about possible disease-favouring conditions in 31 H. meleagridis-infected flocks. The determined parameters were related to the general farm (flock management, biosecurity measures, etc.) as well as the
histomonosis-specific disease management. Some inadequate biosecurity measures were observed. An inappropriate usage of the hygiene lock and cleaning as well as the disinfection frequency of equipment, clothes, and the hygiene lock could possibly be
histomonosis-favouring conditions. These factors could increase the risk for the introduction of H. meleagridis and the risk of a pathogen spread on an affected farm. Insects, wild birds, litter materials, and contaminated dung could be potential vectors of H. meleagridis. Predisposing gastrointestinal diseases were observed in 71% of the affected flocks. Additionally, stress events related to higher temperature, movement of birds, and vaccination were documented in association with clinical
histomonosis. The results emphasise the need for both good disease control and health management to ensure sustainable animal health and welfare.
