fungal attack and antifungal
attack of fungi and antifungal drugs (antifungal product)
1. The causative agent
A fungal attack is diagnosed very rarely in pigeons. Not a contradiction, the fact that molds play an important role in reducing colombófila.Rara performance ever diagnosed fungal attack, as they only under certain driving conditions, that each pigeon is sensible to avoid produce disease conditions clínica.Bajo hygienic modern pigeon, fungi affect the body of the dove, only rarely cause disease and not visible, simply cause a reduction rendimiento.Hay a number of possible classifications for fungi. As the best division has been established in yeast and molds. Yeasts, mainly Candida species (Candida albicans) have their seizures associated with treatments of antibiotics, peak area of \u200b\u200bthe throat, the belly and under certain circumstances, in the gut of the paloma.Los molds, Aspergillus fumigatus primarily affect the respiratory tract, especially the breathing sacs of the pigeon. In difficult cases, can be attacked also, lungs and cerebro.Dermatophyten is another group of fungi, attack the bird's skin and cause among other things, the dreaded and hardly treatable skin infection, under the wings. Reducing performance as the pigeon, dermatophytes are not important. A dove contact with fungi can not be excluded. In a more simple fungi and beneficial bacteria live on the mucous membranes of the pigeons in balance. While sufficient beneficial bacteria occupy the mucous, fungi do not have a chance to multiply in a manner detrimental to the paloma.Después treatment with antibiotics, this balance is damaged, because the antibiotic acts indiscriminately killed bacteria and also a part of non-pathogenic bacteria and essential for the life of the pigeon. But fungi are not affected by the antibiotic and thus suffer a strong and favorable selection.

antifungal products
both human medicine and veterinary medicine, there are a lot of products against fungi, called antifungals (fungal attack called mycosis). But for use in avian medicine, some products are suitable only:
Nystatin (Candio Hermal ®), miconazole (Daktar ®), Ketoconazole (Nizoral ®), fluconazole (Didlucan ®), enilconazole (Imaverol ®), Natamycin (Pimabiciron ® N), just to name a few, that can be used in palomas.Pero used in the pigeon really only three: Ketoconazole (Nizoral ®), enilconazole (Imaverol ®) and Nystatin (Cardio Hermal ®). A fungal attack usually persists throughout life. As the danger of contagion is high, you should consider whether widowers affected by fungi: the pigeon frequently used antibiotics (must to use) and a fungus attack usually leads to reduced yields without symptoms enfermedad.El is an X-ray examination of the lungs and air sacs as well as a verification of the causative agent in a cultivo.La through X should (and should) only be performed with a high quality device and, when possible, only on film or sheet for birds. If you make a decision "standard" is not a light attack, which reaches to a decrease rendimientos.Para checking in the culture medium, it is a selective multiplication on a special nutrient medium. The material used as a sample, taken with narcosis (Anesthesia) and with an endoscope, the respiratory tract or a section of the bags aéreos.Para directly treat a fungal infection, have to strictly follow the recommendations of veterinarians. In this case the problem can be performed without treatment, during the race season and without fear of having a negative impact on rendimiento.Con a strong attack of fungi, flights should be stopped because the death of large numbers of fungi The body of the dove is flooded with poisons that are released from dead yeast cells. These poisons recharge the kidneys and liver and cause performance degradation or even loss paloma.En pigeon, aerosol treatment enilconazole is perhaps the most appropriate. Individual treatment of animals with ketoconazole, it is only recommended in certain cases. Griseofulvin should be used only if other therapeutic measures fail and in pigeons are not active on flights. For the aerosol treatment is required ultrasound nebulizer (Ultraschall-Raumvernebler). Usually each veterinarian has this product. The purchase of one of them is a good investment, since the device must be used often. With many products it can be vaporized in the loft, which immediately reach the airways. Not only are many treatments, but also large number of preventive actions can be performed easily and with little work. Also for the preparation of the airways to the flight competition (eg with bromhexine / Bisolvon) and the regeneration of normal mucosa of the bronchi, after a tough competition flight is achieved quite well and without problems with an ultrasonic nebulizer nebulizador.Realmente is a must in the modern pigeon. Its price is about 250 DM (German marks). What equipment do you need and how the product is diluted for nebulization, probably will advise the veterinarian. For Eniconazol achieved a more effective with the fogging of the product in the airways (even in unreachable air sacs, with a water treatment or individual treatment of animals), ie the site of infection, without overloading the body of the dove product: this kind of treatment does not create blood reaction, which in this case it would be unnecessary!. Use of the device is very simple: the product is dissolved in the recommended way (eg, 100 cc of product + 1000 cc running water) and placed in the storage container. The apparatus is placed in the loft, where fog can reach all the pigeons. Finally comes on and after a certain time (Eg 20 minutes) back off. A timer makes handling more efficient and saves time (the device on and off even during the night at intervals of treatment needed: in the night hours are all the pigeons in the loft and the fog is distributed evenly, because no Dove is bouncing).
