Tuberculosis of Poultry 
Under the above title, the Montana 
Agricultural College has issued a circu¬ 
lar descrihing tuberculosis of fowls as it 
occurs in the flocks of thafc and adjoining 
States. According to the author, Dr. 
Welch, this disease has become prevalent 
only within recent years, but is now so 
extensive as to cause a considerable ag¬ 
gregate loss to poultry owners. In any 
large flock there may be occasional deaths 
from tuberculosis though the flock as a 
whole does not display marked evidence 
of the infection. Tuberculosis is a dis¬ 
ease of mature fowls, being chronic in its 
nature and not showing itself by recog¬ 
nizable .symptoms in young pullets. It 
docs not appear to interfere materially 
with egg production in its earlier stages, 
and the emaciation, loss of color of comb 
ail'd w’attles, droopiuess and mussed, 
dirty plumage which distinguish fowls 
dying of it do not show until shortly 
before death. As the disease spreads in 
the flock, however, egg production be¬ 
comes curtailed and may easily fall to a 
profitless point. It is possible for eggs 
from tuberculous hens to carry the germs 
of the disease and infect chicks hatched 
from them, though the danger from this 
source is slight, much le.ss than that from 
the pre,sence of tuberculous sparrows and 
pigeons in the flock. Like the disease in 
cattle, tuberculosis is spread by contact, 
the droppings and discharges from sick 
individuals infecting the ground, food and 
water used by others. There are other 
diseases that produce the same emacia¬ 
tion and general symptoms occurring in 
tuberculosis but a post-mortem will or¬ 
dinarily clear up the diagnosis. The 
liver of a tuberculous bird will be found 
to be covered with yellowish white spots 
of broken-down tissue and similar masses 
may be found in the interior of that or¬ 
gan. The Willis of the intestines may also 
display a like appearance. In cases that 
are not advanced and show the disease 
only in the internal organs there is no 
reason why the flesh should not be used 
as food. As in cattle, localized tubercu¬ 
losis of the viscera does not render the 
meat unwholesome. There is no cure 
for tuberculosis; if a flock is badly in¬ 
fected, it is best to dispose of it and rear 
a new one on ground and in quarters that 
have never been used by diseased birds. 
It is possible to clean up and disinfect 
infected quarters but the process must 
be a most thorough one if it is to be ef¬ 
fective. As is the case with tubei’culo- 
sis of all animals, sunshine, air, cleanli¬ 
ness and good food offer the best means 
of prevention. m. b. d.
