For our poultry-owning clients: Due to a recent outbreak of Newcastle Disease, we advise that you keep an eye on your hens for any signs of ill-health. Newcastle Disease (ND) is a highly infectious disease of poultry, captive birds and wild birds. Transmission is via direct contact with secretions of infected birds (including wild birds) or indirectly by contact with contaminated feed, water, equipment, clothing etc. The clinical signs in affected birds can be very variable. The disease can be present in a very acute form with sudden onset and mortality of up to 100%, or as a mild disease with respiratory symptoms or a drop in egg production. Clinical signs include: • Respiratory signs (gasping, coughing) • Nervous signs (drooping wings, dragging legs, twisting of the head and neck, circling, complete paralysis) • Loss of appetite • Dropped or complete cessation of egg production • Misshapen, rough-shelled, thin-shelled eggs containing watery albumen • Greenish watery diarrhoea Due to the constant threat of transmission of ND from wild birds,if you keep birds, even just one bird it is important to have high biosecurity standards including: • Prevent wild bird contact with your birds, their feed and bedding e.g. use of netting and fencing • Provide potable drinking water (not water that could have been contaminated by wild birds e.g. not lake or pond water) • Use designated clothing and footwear for attending and looking after your birds • Wash and disinfect your hands before and after looking after your birds • Keep different bird species separated where possible • Prevent direct contact with droppings from wild birds e.g. cover housing using canvas or tarpaulin • Keep the environment clean and unattractive to wild birds, e.g. keep grass cut, use scarecrows • Prevent rodents, pets and unnecessary personnel from having contact with poultry • Only buy birds from a known reputable source - isolate any newly introduced birds for 3 weeks if possible, and attend to your own birds before the new birds .When buying poultry, source birds that are vaccinated or consult your private veterinarian about vaccination • Clean and disinfect any equipment before use • Provide only commercial feed (it is illegal to feed farmed animal species with food waste) and clean up any food spills Humans can be infected with Newcastle virus, causing conjunctivitis or a flu-like illness. Please notify your doctor if you present with these symptoms after contact with domestic or wild birds. If you suspect that your hens or other birds are showing symptoms, please contact your vet immediately.
