A disease which attacks growing pullets and ORIGIN: Not of bacterial origin, but otherwise suggestive of a con tagious or infectious disease. Current view point: probably a virus disease. SYMPTOMS: Sudden decreased feed consumption, drop in egg pro duction, depression and whitish watery diarrhea. Individual birds may have crop distension> sunken eyes, dark blue combs, shriveled shanks. Post Mortem usually shows pale breast muscle resembling the flesh of fish. Crop is often filled with sour-smelling food. Small yellowish spots may appear on the liver. Enlargement of kidneys is common with the accumulation of urates. CAUTION: Accurate diagnosis is necessary to differentiate between Blue Comb and Fowl Cholera. TREATMENT: Several types of treatment formerly recommended have mostly been replaced by the use of the Broad Spectrum > antibiotics or a combination of one of these with Furazolidone contained in a highly fortified feed. For treatment of Growing Pullets we recommend the use of our EARLY BIRD No, 50 Medicated Ration. For treatment of layers we recommend our EARLY BIRD No. 49 Medicated Ration. Feed these for sto 7 days. We have found them quite effec tive. When a mash and grain program is followed it is well to discontinue the grain and replace it with a limited amount of our EARLY BIRD No. 33 Poultry Fitting Ration. If you have birds that “do not look just right”, or trouble strikes your flock please call your Miller & Bushong representa tive or call Lancaster EXpress 2-2145 Collect. \x\ill/,/ HI Manufacturers ol iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii man.
