BLUE COMB
A disease which attacks growing pullets and
young laying chickens.
' 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 product- .
ion, 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 i
flesh of fish. Crop is often fiFed with sour-smelling food Small yel- 1
lowish spots may appear on the liver. Enlargement of kidneys is j
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mostly been replaced by the use of the Broad Spectrum antibiotics
, ox of one of these with Furazolidone contained in a
Tiighly fortified fded.
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 4 to 5 days. We have found them quite effective.
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 BfRD
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 representative or call Lan-
caster EXpress 2-2145 Collect.

The 1961 rate is based on
the minimum national aver
age support price which has
been increased 1 cent per
bushel to $179 per bushel,
to reflect 75 percent of the
estimated July 1 parity price.
