Show PREVENTING ROUP IN COLD WEATHER Poultry Require Feeds With Vitamine A Content. What's sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander, and some of the things which are healthful in the diet of the family, are equally so In the diet of the poultry flock. Carrots, cod-liver cod-liver oil, and green vegetables belong on the table of the flock as much as on that of the family, according to P. B. Zumbro, extension specialist for the Ohio State university poultry husbandry hus-bandry department. "These foods carry car-ry vitamine A, a preventative of nutritional nu-tritional roup, a disease which often strikes flocks when they are housed during the winter and unable to obtain ob-tain green feed on the grange," says Zumbro. Symptoms of nutritional roup Include In-clude nasal discharges and swelling of the face, which are characteristic of ordinary roup, but the nutritional roup also causes lesions in the eyes and mouth. Post-mortem examination usually usu-ally shows the kidneys to be very pale, and marked with a network of white lines, and a deposit of white material on the surfaces of the liver and heart. Coroeplete discussion of the treatment treat-ment of nutritional roup and other diseases, dis-eases, as well as of problems of incubation, incu-bation, brooding, feeding, and management, manage-ment, are included in a correspondence course given by the poultry husbandry department of the university. |
