Abstract

This paper aims to explore the diagnosis and control methods of common diseases in large-scale breeding of meat pigeons.Through in-depth understanding of meat pigeon breeding industry,we have selected several common diseases,including enterotoxic syndrome,pigeon paratyphoid,avian infl uenza of squabs,pigeon plague and other possible diseases.Firstly,we give a detailed account of each disease,including its pathogens,symptoms,routes of transmission,and possible economic losses.Then,we provide corresponding prevention and control measures for each disease,including vaccination,environmental hygiene management,isolation and treatment of sick pigeons,and rational use of drugs.At the end of the paper,we summarized and prospected the prevention and control of these six diseases,and emphasized the importance of strengthening the awareness of disease prevention and control in the meat pigeon breeding industry and improving the level of breeding and biosafety.At the same time,we also call on relevant industries and scientifi c research institutions to strengthen research on diseases in the meat pigeon breeding industry to provide strong support for the healthy development of the meat pigeon breeding industry.
