ADENO-COLI SYNDROME
There are some diseases during the season the health of pigeons
can seriously threaten and thus the aircraft performance dramatically affect.
Here, we mean the Adeno-coli syndrome.

Adeno-coli syndrome
This “Syndrome” role of two pathogens. Firstly the adenovirus
and secondly the E.Coli bacterium.
When we talk about this syndrome, we mean a disease, the especially when
young pigeons, approximately up to one year, occurs. Elder not be deaf or
infected from this disease picture.
You can see the emergence of the clinical characteristics, if young birds exposed to Streß
E.g. at the Einkorben for training flights. But also during other stressful
It can be circumstances such as overpopulation in the dash to the onset of illness
come.
The symptoms are sufficiently well known. Much drinking, poor appetite, vomiting and
the most prominent symptoms are water-thin diarrhoea. The condition worsens
fast and it comes to weight loss. The disease spreads rapidly
fast blow.
Within 48 hours, all young pigeons may be sick. A clean infection
with this so-called classical form of Adenovirose can within a week
recovered. Then, however, that no other verkomplizierenden
Play with diseases, such as the E.Coli bacterium. And since this is very often the case,
You therefore often of the so-called Adeno-coli syndrome.
The clinical picture can quickly just by contagion with the E.Coli bacterium
deteriorate and the pigeons can quickly undermine, leaner and green
get smelly excrement. Death can as a result by the E.Coli-
Bacteria caused complications occur.
In serious cases of infection with the adenovirus pigeons in a row can
Die weaken and damage the liver. Youngsters with serious damage
the liver cells recovered usually only slowly by the adenovirus. As a result of the
Backlog in the flight experience and condition the flight services are often after recovery
also not satisfactory.
The adenovirus of the classical form of Adenovirose caused a so-called
Catarrhale enteritis. The virus invades the intestinal cells in this and causes
Damage to the intestinal wall. The Dove and others through damage to the intestinal wall loses
Proteins. These form a good growth soil for bacteria normally in the gut
are present, such as E-coli. This E.Coli bacteria increases the damage to the
Intestinal wall. Death often occurs as a result caused by these bacteria
A complications (including blood poisoning).
No complications, then the pigeons can occur within one week of
recover the infection with the adenovirus.
But really, what do we see in practice? A large variation in the severity of the
Symptoms.
In some limited cases, pigeons will be within one week of the
Infection with the adenovirus recover and the damage is limited.
Complications of the E.Coli bacterium, then the disease can appear much
be serious and the recovery process much slower.
The possibility that an E.Coli bacteria cause their worsening symptoms
may, depends on the defense of the young pigeons. As also got the boy
Load with infection with trichomoniasis, Hexamitiasis or Ornithosis, is then
the picture by the further-weakened defense be more dramatic.

The Adeno-coli syndrome can rightly called “Multiple factors disease”
be described.
Other debilitating diseases such as Hexamitiasis or cancer, with a
weakened immune as a result, Streß factors such as Einkorben, an overfull shock etc.
all play an important role in the severity of the disease.
It is clear that our attention for young pigeons mainly on the
optimal hold of the defences of animals should be set.
The diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, age, wherein the
Symptoms usually occur, and the seasonal and relatively unrewarding nature mostly with large
Provide security. But should these symptoms to diseases like
Paramyxovirus infection, herpes infection, Streptococcose, Hexamitiasis and
Think salmonellosis. Security, that it has to do with the adenovirus, it gets
one by introducer corpuscles in the liver cells and intestinal mucosa.
Still no preventive vaccination can be used in the fight against of the disease.
The adenovirus in pigeons belongs to a different group than the adenovirus, the at
Combating of EDS in chicken is used. This vaccine is already more often
has been inserted in pigeons. Our experience is a one-off vaccination with
This vaccine against the adenovirus in pigeons is not effective. In
Belgian publications of results is if the young pigeons several
Times in a row to be vaccinated with this vaccine.
We could not try yet.
There are well known wise no drugs against virus infections. This means
that the fight is especially on tackling the secondary bacterial
Infections, shock hygiene, the prevention of Streß and the increase of Defense
must set of young pigeons.

Combat secondary bacterial infections
At the Adenovirose-coli complex we are going in the secondary infections
to do anything with E.Coli. This bacterium is present in 97% of the bowels of the pigeons. You
can be regarded more or less as normal intestinal inhabitants. But through
These bacteria can be changes as a result of the Adeno virus infection in the intestine
suddenly proliferating. The toxins that take away this bacterium can
the intestinal damage that pass through the intestinal walls and cause blood poisoning. In
You can't usually help the Dove this stage. The majority of surviving
this stage does not.
It is so very important to avoid the proliferation of coli bacteria. A few
Medium have a very good effect. Baytril (enrofloxacine) does well, earned but
No favoritism due to influence on bone growth. A good effect
AMCO, 22, FC-mix powder and have SL mix including trim-sulfa. In some cases, may
it be useful to curb the population of coli after stopping by a spa.
Because under these circumstances, it can sometimes also to a Streß-induced
increased proliferation of coli bacteria come. Sure there is even talk of
Overpopulation. But rather, we should take precautionary measures, so that you
must not choose this path. It should be preferred always, as little as possible
Antibiotics to use. The good bacteria suffer including also.

Impact hygiene

Impact hygiene is always important. But a side note should be said.
It is said that one should exaggerate nothing. This also applies to the hygiene. Of course
It is important to ensure that no distribution of drinking and feeding bowls
takes place. Hygiene can be not good enough here. But excessive hygiene
may on the other hand cause that especially young pigeons little “Children's diseases”
go through and build too little defense against relatively unimportant disease.
In practice this will not happen. In my experience he knows
Pigeon lovers this concerning what he is doing.

Streß prevention

Streß prevention is of course very important. Streß is often the cause of that is deferred
(hidden) Infections show.
Of course, not all Streß is preventable. The young pigeons need to just
be basked.
But Steß is usually avoided due to overpopulation. Certainly, if it to
exuberant strokes goes where keep returning this boy. Except that this Streß
It is also often caused, cause for the outbreak of E.Coli infection.
Streß in itself reduces the defense. Reduced defense increases the risk for
Infections. Drug treatment may be necessary. But she can be
in turn hurt the condition. And so you can get into a vicious circle.

Increase the natural defenses
In my opinion this is the basis for the solution to this problem. Usage of
Rather, medicine is a necessary evil.
You can contribute to increase the defense when it hygiene not
neglected but not exaggerated, so that it reduces infection pressure.
If we avoid even Streß, the body of the Dove has more chances,
a higher defense to build up.
But also by improving the intestinal flora of (young) pigeons, stimulating the
Defense. By improving the intestinal flora have the harmful bacteria in the case of the
Adeno-coli disease of less likely to proliferate explosively. Since in this case
the coli bacteria of less chance has to multiply, the boys can more quickly
recovering from virus infection.
If you want to achieve this, it must be verhütend. The method is very
limited, if the infection is in full swing.
In this case you, as I said must, often out of necessity seek refuge in drugs
Search.

For a good general defense it is important for the pigeon good food digestion,
to have. If you so ensures that the pigeon has a good intestinal flora, it is
on the right track. Of course, it's not like that never sick pigeons with good intestinal flora
can be. But it is fact that these doves by their better defense
Infections can more easily survive.

A pigeon with a healthy intestinal flora has a better feed utilization. The
Vitamin household is better. The consumption of building materials will be better. Short and
good: the pigeon can get to a better condition. And lately is always
clear that a good intestinal flora helps that damaging bacteria not so
can develop well. In this way, infections with these bacteria are less
serious run.

By acidification of drinking water of the pigeons with Apple Cider vinegar, phyto vitality, Herba
u.d.. it facilitates the good bacteria to proliferate.
In this way, you can provide a valuable contribution to a healthy intestinal flora.
But, you must watch that the drinking water is not too acidic. The acidity can
so low are also the good bacteria may develop not good.
The tests that we improved last year with the version of the phyto vitality
have carried out, show that this natural way of working is a pretty good
Post supplies to improve the condition and the growth of the form.

Our herbal vitality is used for many years by many pigeon lovers.
Years ago we started with multiple tests, where we the phyto vitality five
immune strengthening herbs have inflicted. And also the famous ginseng.
This root has a stimulating effect on the body.

It has been written much about vitamins and defense. I question the old
Wisdom, that a pigeon can get enough vitamins from their feed. I am
of course agree that a pigeon from good food enough vitamins and
Building materials can absorb to stay healthy under normal circumstances. But
that's where the problem is. Pigeon racing is just sport. And this requires
more of the body than under normal circumstances. The link between health
and defense is as strong as fragile. Even if one does his best, the Dove
as good as possible to provide the health like a House of cards will collapse.
If a shortage of essential building materials.

That's why I am of the opinion, that, if a lot of them is required, the pigeons this
better cope with when regularly administered them a good vitamin supplement.
This is about food or drinking water. To optimize the enzyme systems in the
Body with extra vitamin gift. In this way it contributes to the
Improving the defense at.
Farvisol is a tool that has proven itself in practice. This is a vitamin supplement
with a high content of vitamins and trace elements.
Some rules of thumb for good defense and a good basis for the development of the form:

1 avoid Streß. This important: avoid overpopulation.
2. with good basic hygiene, make sure that the infection pressure of the main
Pigeon diseases remains low.
3. optimization of enzyme systems by administering high good feed and good
Vitamins.
4. improving the metabolism. Concerns that the intestinal flora in optimum condition.
Help by regularly acidified water. (Apple Cider vinegar, phyto vitality
Defense drink)
5. regular monitoring of feces and throat on parasitic infections.
