Definition of Aflatoxicosis in Poultry Aflatoxins are highly toxic, carcinogenic fungal metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus , A. parasiticus , and others Aflatoxicosis in poultry primarily affects the liver, but immunologic, digestive, and hematopoietic functions may be involved Weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion efficiency, pigmentation, processing yield, egg production, male and female fertility, and hatchability may be affected Some effects are a direct result of intoxication, while others are related indirectly to factors such as reduced feed intake Susceptibility varies, but in general, chickens, ducklings, turkeys, and pheasants are susceptible Signs and Symptoms of Aflatoxicosis in Poultry Unthriftiness to high morbidity and mortality The liver may be acutely reddened due to necrosis and congestion or yellow discolouration due to lipid accumulation; it may have hemorrhages of various sizes and patterns In chronic aflatoxicosis , the liver may be discolored yellow to gray and atrophied. Although the aflatoxins are carcinogenic, tumor formation is rare with the natural disease, probably because the birds do not live long enough for this to occur. A more typical gross finding is the yellowish to yellow-earth colour of the liver, the multiple haemorrhages and a characteristic reticular appearance of the capsular surface in Aflatoxicosis . Activity: Brainstorming What are the prevention and control measures against Aflatoxicosis in Poultry ? Treatment, Prevention and Control of Aflatoxicosis in Poultry There is no specific pharmacological treatment Toxic feed should be removed and replaced with unadulterated feed. Concurrent diseases (parasitic, infectious, and nutritional) should be treated to alleviate additive or synergistic disease interactions, and substandard management practices corrected In individual birds, give activated charcoal in the feed Treatment, Prevention and Control of Aflatoxicosis in Poultry Inspect feed mills regularly and clean any feed residues Poultry houses should have sufficient ventilation to avoid high relative humidity Antifungal agents such as organic acids (propionic acid 0.5-1.5 g/kg) are effective inhibitors Key Points Aflatoxins are very toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins, produced by moulds of the Aspergillus and Penicillium genera Aflatoxicosis is associated with grains and other feed sources such as maize, soyabeans , peanuts and millet The liver is most affected and toxicity can result in severe liver necrosis Good hygiene and the regular cleaning of storage bins, silos and feeding equipment are extremely important Control is best achieved by the avoidance of contaminated feeds Evaluation What are the common signs and symptoms Aflatoxicosis in Poultry?

Definition of African Swine Fever It is a peracute highly contagious and highly fatal disease of pig caused by African swine fever virus The transmission occurs by Argaside ticks Once established, the disease spread rapidly by direct contact or ingestion of contaminated feed Signs and Symptoms of African Swine Fever Fever that subside after four days Development of cyanotic skin Anorexia Huddling together Disinclination to move Incoordination of hind quarter Moving using front legs dragging the hind legs Naso-occular discharge Dyspnea and cough Pharmacological Treatment of African Swine Fever No specific treatment but treat with antibiotics for secondary bacterial infection. Lincomycin hydrochloride 10-15 mg/kg, IM, q 12 h and with hydrogen peroxide 8.3 mg/kg q 24 h, PO for 3-5 days, or Oxytetracycline 0.5g/kg of feed for 7 days, and 10-20 mg/kg IV or IM q 6 h for 7 days, or Trimethoprim- sulphadiazine , 15 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h for 3- 5days. or 48 mg/kg, q 24 h, IM Activity: Brainstorming What are the prevention and control measures for African swine fever? Prevention and Control of African Swine Fever Maintain disease free status by restriction of pig movement and serological monitoring and prevention of contact between domestic pigs and warthogs Prohibition of importation of pigs and pig products Currently there is no approved vaccine for ASF Prevention and Control of African Swine Fever Cont.… Prevention depends on implementation of appropriate import policies and biosecurity measures, ensuring that neither infected live pigs nor pork products are introduced into areas free of ASF. This includes ensuring proper disposal of waste food from aircraft, ships or vehicles coming from affected countries and policing illegal imports of live pigs and pork products from affected countries Key Points African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious haemorrhagic viral disease of domestic and wild pigs, which is responsible for serious economic and production losses. It is caused by a large DNA virus of the Asfarviridae family, which also infects ticks of the genus Ornithodoros Clinical signs and mortality rates can vary according to the virulence of the virus and the type/species of pig Prevention depends on implementation of appropriate import policies and biosecurity measures, ensuring that neither infected live pigs nor pork products are introduced into areas free of ASF Evaluation What is African swine fever? What are the common signs and symptoms of African swine fever? What is the pharmacological treatment of African swine fever? What are the control measures against African swine fever?

PST 06107 Basic Veterinary Pharmacology Session 32: Pharmacotherapy of Swine Dysentery Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: Define swine dysentery List signs and symptoms of swine dysentery Describe pharmacological treatment of swine dysentery Describe control and prevention of swine dysentery Activity: Buzzing What is Swine Dysentery? Definition of Swine Dysentery A contagious disease of pig caused by Treponema characterized by mucohemorrhagic diarrhoea affecting the large intestine The transmission occurs through ingestion of contaminated food Signs and Symptoms of Swine Dysentery The acute form of the disease is characterized by severe and often fatal bloody diarrheal. Affected pigs may be wobbly in the hindquarters and show evidence of abdominal pain, such as stretching and kicking at the belly The faeces may be red, resembling tomato ketchup, or may have a black, tarry appearance. Death usually results from dehydration caused by severe diarrheal Pharmacological treatment of Swine Dysentery Lincomycin hydrochloride 10-15 mg/kg, IM, q 12 h for 3 days, or Tylosin 8.8 mg/kg, IM, q 24 h for 3 days Activity: Brainstorming What are the prevention and control measures for Swine Dysentery? Prevention and Control of Swine Dysentery Optimizing sanitation by maintaining pigs on concrete floors that are washed down daily. Adhering to a rodent control program using a professional exterminator Segregating affected pigs in a sick pen, away from healthy pigs, and culling poor-doers Medicating water and/or feed with antimicrobials Stringent sanitation of the premises Vaccination for prevention of swine dysentery may represent a viable alternative; however, the effectiveness of commercially available vaccines appears to be less than optimal Prevention and Control of Swine Dysentery Cont.…. Develop an all-in all-out housing system with disinfection. Slurry channels should be separate Where solid dung passages are used it may be necessary to depopulate the whole house, clean and disinfect and bring in new pigs at weaning time that have not been contaminated Control flies, they can transmit the organism from one group of pigs to another Reduce the movement and handling of pigs to as little as possible particularly at weighing time when transfer of faeces is likely to take place and stress is likely to cause clinical flare ups Do not overcrowd pigs and endeavour to keep a dry environment; the organism will die out quickly on drying. Poor sanitation and wet pens enhance the disease Key Points Swine dysentery (SD), which is caused by a small snake-like bacteria called Brachyspira hyodysenteriae can be one of the most expensive diseases of the growing pig The early symptom is sloppy diarrhoea, which stains the skin of the perineum under the anus, and a rapid hollowing of the flanks In infected herds control is aimed at preventing the movement of the organism between groups of pigs Evaluation What is Swine Dysentery? What are the common signs and symptoms of Swine Dysentery? What is the pharmacological treatment of Swine Dysentery? What are the control measures against Swine Dysentery? References Riviere J.
