Parindon me Fungal infections 

Fungal infections, jinhe mycoses bhi kaha jata hai, jab fungi ka growth excessive ho jata hai aur host organism ke tissues ko infect karta hai. Yeh kabootaron mein bhi ho sakte hain, jahan moisture, poor ventilation, ya unhygienic conditions hone par fungi ka growth hota hai. Isse bachne ke liye, proper aviary hygiene aur ventilation ka dhyan rakhna zaroori hai, aur agar koi symptoms dikhein to turant veterinarian se salah leni chahiye.

Cause:

Fungal infections kabootaron mein kuch mukhya causes hote hain:

1. Poor Hygiene: Aviary ya cage ki cleanliness ka dhyan na rakhna fungal infections ka ek bada karan ho sakta hai. Agar kabootaron ke rehne ke area mein proper cleaning aur disinfection nahi kiya jata hai, toh fungi ka growth hone ka khatra hota hai.

2. Moisture: Excessive moisture ka hona bhi fungal infections ko badha sakta hai. Agar kabootaron ke rehne ke area mein water spills ya leakages hote hain ya phir agar ventilation sahi nahi hai, toh moisture ka level increase ho sakta hai, jisse fungi ka growth hota hai.

3. Stress: Kabootaron ko stress hone par unka immune system weak ho sakta hai, jisse unhe infections hone ka khatra badh jata hai. Stress ka karan ho sakta hai overcrowding, improper handling, ya phir changes in environment.

4. Contaminated Feed or Bedding: Agar kabootaron ko contaminated feed ya bedding diya jata hai, jismein fungi ka spores ho sakte hain, toh yeh bhi fungal infections ka karan ban sakta hai.

5. Weakened Immune System: Kabootaron ka immune system agar weak hai, toh unhe fungal infections hone ka khatra zyada hota hai. Iska karan ho sakta hai malnutrition, age, genetic factors, ya phir any underlying health conditions.

Symptoms:

Kabootaron mein fungal infection ke hone par kuch common symptoms hote hain:

1. Changes in Feather Condition: Infected area par feathers mein discoloration ya breakage ho sakta hai. Feathers dull ya brittle dikhne lagte hain.

2. Skin Lesions: Fungal infections ke hone par kabootaron ke skin par lesions ya sores develop ho sakte hain. Ye lesions red, inflamed, ya scaly dikhai ja sakte hain.

3. Excessive Scratching: Infected kabootar apne infected area ko constant scratching ya pecking karta hai, jisse skin irritation aur further damage hota hai.

4. Difficulty Breathing: Agar fungal infection respiratory system ko affect karta hai, toh kabootar ke breathing mein difficulty ya abnormal sounds (like wheezing) sunai de sakte hain.

5. Discharge: Infected area se discharge nikalna, jaise ki pus ya other abnormal fluids.

6. Lethargy: Kabootar ka energy level kam ho sakta hai aur woh lethargic ya weak dikhayi de sakte hain.

7. Loss of Appetite: Fungal infection ke hone par kabootar ka appetite kam ho sakta hai aur woh normal se kam khana khane lagta hai.

8. Weight Loss: Fungal infection ke prolonged presence mein, kabootar ka weight loss ho sakta hai.

Prevention:

Fungal infections se bachne ke liye kuch preventive measures hain:

1. Aviary Hygiene: Kabootaron ke rehne ke area ko regularly clean karein aur disinfect karein. Ismein droppings, old food, aur any organic matter ko remove karein taki fungi ka growth na ho sake.

2. Proper Ventilation: Aviary mein proper ventilation ka arrangement karein taki moisture ka level kam rahe aur fungi ka growth roka ja sake.

3. Dry Environment: Kabootaron ke rehne ke area ko dry rakhein aur water spills ya leakages ko immediately clean karein. Moisture se bachein taki fungi ka growth na ho.

4. Stress Management: Kabootaron ko stress se bachayein, kyun ki stress unka immune system weak kar sakta hai aur fungal infections ka khatra badha sakta hai. Proper handling aur sufficient space provide karein taki overcrowding ka issue na ho.

5. Nutritious Diet: Kabootaron ko balanced aur nutritious diet provide karein taki unka immune system strong rahe aur infections se ladne ki capability bani rahe.

6. Regular Monitoring: Apne kabootaron ko regularly monitor karein aur agar koi unusual behavior ya symptoms dikhein, toh turant veterinarian se consult karein.

7. Quarantine New Birds: Agar aapne naye kabootar introduce kiye hain, toh unhe quarantine mein rakhein aur unke health status ko monitor karein taki existing flock ko infections se bachaya ja sake.

Diagnosis:

Fungal infections ka diagnosis karne ke liye, veterinarian typically kuch steps follow karte hain:

1. Physical Examination: Veterinarian pehle kabootar ka thorough physical examination karte hain, jismein infected areas ko dekha jata hai aur kisi bhi abnormality ya lesions ko notice kiya jata hai.

2. History: Veterinarian ko kabootar ke recent history ke baare mein jaankari chahiye, jaise ki koi dietary changes, environment changes, ya phir koi recent stressor.

3. Skin Scrapings: Infected area se skin scrapings collect kiya ja sakta hai, jise microscope ke under examine kiya jata hai fungal spores ya any other signs ke liye.

4. Culture and Sensitivity Test: Agar fungal infection suspected hai, toh veterinarian fungal culture and sensitivity test recommend kar sakta hai, jismein fungi ka type determine kiya jata hai aur kis tarah ka treatment most effective hoga wo decide kiya jata hai.

5. Blood Tests: In some cases, blood tests kiya ja sakta hai jisse ki overall health status aur immune system ko assess kiya ja sake.

6. Radiography: Agar respiratory symptoms present hain, toh radiography ya x-rays kiya ja sakta hai jisse ki respiratory system ka condition dekha ja sake.

7. Biopsy: Agar kisi severe case mein infection ka cause ya extent samajhna ho, toh biopsy kiya ja sakta hai, jismein infected tissue ko sample ke roop mein collect kiya jata hai aur examine kiya jata hai.

Treatment:

Fungal infections ke treatment ke liye, veterinarian kuch common steps follow karte hain:

1. Antifungal Medications: Fungal infections ke liye antifungal medications prescribe kiya jata hai, jaise ki itraconazole, fluconazole, ya ketoconazole. Ye medications systemic ya topical form mein diye ja sakte hain, depending on the severity of the infection.

2. Topical Treatments: Infected areas par antifungal creams ya ointments apply kiya ja sakta hai. Isse infected area par direct action hoti hai aur infection ko control karne mein madad milti hai.

3. Medicated Baths: Kabootaron ko medicated baths diye ja sakte hain jismein antifungal shampoos ya solutions ka istemal kiya jata hai. Isse unki skin aur feathers ko directly treat kiya ja sakta hai.

4. Environmental Management: Aviary ya cage ko proper clean aur dry rakhein taki fungi ka growth roka ja sake. Proper ventilation aur humidity control bhi zaroori hai.

5. Nutritional Support: Kabootaron ko balanced aur nutritious diet provide karein taki unka immune system strong rahe aur unki recovery process accelerate ho.

6. Hydration: Infected kabootar ko hydrated rakhein, taki unki overall health maintain rahe aur medications ka proper absorption ho sake.

7. Isolation: Agar possible ho, toh infected kabootar ko isolate karke rakhein taki infection dusre birds tak na pahuche.

8. Regular Monitoring: Infected kabootar ko regular monitoring karte rahein aur agar koi improvement na dikh rahi ho, toh turant veterinarian se consult karein.

Treatment plan depend karta hai infection ka type, severity, aur kabootar ki overall health condition par. Isliye, sahi diagnosis ke liye veterinarian se salah lena zaroori hai.
