Every chicks are lost from the effects of a disease known as White Diarrhoea From this cause alone the financial loss Is so great that It has crippled many chances for success in the poultry Industry For many years scientific poultry husbandmen have been studying the cause of this trouble in chicks and have arrived at various conclusions but they all agree that it is a destructive condition to whichvery chicks are baby ble and where it becomessusceptiprevalent It is very difficult to A - Many observers are firm In their belief that white diarrhoea is transmitted from a hen which has previously had the disease and that the germs lurking in her system until the laying period are transmitted by the eggs By this theory the chick Is hatched with the disease and must be put under treatment immediately if fatal results are to be prevented Other authorities contend that the disease is a result of debility in the breeding stock Improper care of eggs intended for hatching improper methods of incubating or brooding chilling overheating or improper feeding methods insanitary poorly ventilated and filthy quarters musty or sour feed and many ether causes of like nature From the standpoint of a practical poultryman it is freely admitted that it Is possible that chicks may be adversely affected by any or all of these conditions and as a result may exhibit aymptoms of white diarrhoea in various stages of Intensity Any of the above conditions may so weaken or so debilitate the chicks that they cannot successfully withstand the infection of germs which would lead to a condition of diarrhoea Disease Being Eradicated It is some satisfaction to know the cause of a disease and the ''manner in which It is transmitted but after all what the poultryman most desires is instruction as to ways and means for its recognition prevention and cure From the fact that the disease has not spread throughout the country and that it is being out on most farms to a greut stamped extent indicates that it is possible to guard against it Where the disease is transmitted the female it is very difficult through to stamp out On account of the uncertainty of detecting the particular hen which is affected Where the disease is traced to any of the other causes mentioned above it is a matter which is in the hands of the operator Low vitality of the breeding stock ncorrect methods of incubating and brooding have more to do with the prevalence of diarrhoea In chicks than any other factor and If these conditions are corrected it only requires intelligent treatment to get rid of the “white plague" of chickdom Chicks affected with white exhibit several characteristicdiarrhoea symptoms but no one individual need necesexhibit all of them The sarily of symptoms are manifest in a group flock and each may be recognized in different individuals during the course of the disease Early Sympsom of the Trouble The first deaths may occur before the hen is taken from her nest the chicks removed from the Incubator or very thereafter At shortly time there are no manifestations this of the disease nor its symptoms and death is attributed to lack of vitalityusually The first symptoms to be observed is a condition of weakness the affected chicks become listless and huddle together They seem to be chilly and do not come from beneath the hen or the hover The hover may be heated above normal temperature but still the poor listless chicks crowd in an apwarm parent effort to They make little or no keep attempt to eat ’ the wings droop and the feathers are ruffled As the disease progresses the eyes are closed the greater part of the time and the little sufferers soon reach a point where they become indifferent to everything that goes on about them They emit a plaintive peep a chirp or shrill twitter As the condition further progresses the becomes weaker until It is a merepeep There gasp may be labored breathing and trem-lin- g before collapse Death may occur at any time during the course of the disease depending considerably upon the cause but the greatest mortality usually occurs between the fifth and twentieth day Practically all of the deaths cjccur while the chicks are render one month of age The general appearance of the chick Is one of shrinking of the carcass The become body Is humped the shrunken the claws longlegsthe beak long and narrow and the head appears smaller In size Within a few hours there is a whitish discharge somewhat resembling plaster of parts though often it is streaked with green The is usually profuse and there discharge occurs a condition known as pasting ver Breed From Afflicted Stock As a rule chicks which have had a severe attack of the disease and get well seldom develop into full matured birds and under no circumstances should they be kept for breeding stock They are sometimes misshapen and have poor feather development crowlike heads and are strikingly lacking in vitality In view of recent research made by experts in poultry husbandry and asex-a result of many years of practical perience it seema safe to offer -- some suggestions relating to the practical methods of combating this "white plague" It naturally follows that all hens suspected of being Infected with the disease should be reserved for the butcher and not allowed to become members of the breeding flock Only hens with strong constitutions excess cf vigor and vitality should be conIn this connection It Is sidered that the successful emphasized strongly rearing of chicks depends hatching andmeasure In a large upon the vitality and vigor of the breeding stock Since the development of the chick the first six to ten weeks of Its during life Is a fair index of lfs strength and poultryman will be vigor the watchful rewarded If these strong chicks are so-call- duced to the poultry raisers in the last half century none has been presented so nearly perfect as the White Houdan The originator worked on these fowls for seven or eight years before for any were offered for exhibition or was sale consequently the first exhibit striking White Houdans are equally as good In shape size and laying qualities as the dark variety The greatest drawback to the dark variety as a table fowl has been its dark pin feathers which is entirely eliminated in the new variety This feature alone Is sufficient to com marked to become candidates for the breeding flock All that have any taint of disease should be sent to the butcher as sood as the laying season 1b passed By this simple means theredis-Is an opportunity of eliminating the eased stock and incidentally build up a flock founded upon a strong parentage Filth Encourages Disease Incubators brooders and all other appliances used in hatching and rearing chicks should be cleaned- and disinfected frequently Always bear in mind that filth is the hotbed for propagating disease Remedial measures have practically narrowed down to preventive treatment and using every effort to keep the disease from becoming an epidemic A favorite practice and one that is meeting with universal favor is that of feeding the chicks sour milk hours after for their first forty-eighatching- as much as they will consume Along with the sour milk they are given a feed of fine oyster shell meal to act as grit Wnere chicks show a disinclination for feeding on this first meal of sour milk It Is often given by forcible methods A medicine dropper Is used for this purpose and a generous meal is given at the time the chicks are being transferred from the Incubator to the brooder It is not enough to merely the milk place the fountain containing before the chicks but they must be Induced to drink it and the larger the they consume within reasonquantity able limits the better will be the results Sour milk should form the bulk of the diet for several weeks especially until all danger of the disease has passed Dice mites and other pests are the poultrymen’s most
