Management of Bumble Foot in Duck

Multidrug resistant and multivirulent avian bacterial pathogens: tackling experimental leg disorders using phytobiotics and antibiotics alone or in combination

“…Similar findings were noticed in an earlier study conducted in Denmark ( Bisgaard, 1981 ), where Salmonella, E. coli and S. aureus were recovered from ducks with arthritis. Another study in India isolated S. aureus and E. coli from a duck with a bumble foot ( Choudhury, 2019 ). The variations in the occurrence rates of the incriminated avian bacterial pathogens among various studies in different countries might reflect substantial discrepancies in geographic location, sample types, identification protocols, infection control practices, antibiotic usage and seasonal and environmental factors.…”

A reactive systemic amyloidosis with fibrosis in a Vigova duck : A case report

“…A study on management of bumblefoot in duck demonstrated that Staphylococcus is one of the infectious agents in the digital pad leading to chronic infl ammation of the foot 11 . Since amyloid has an affi nity to collagen 12 , it is essential to assess the quantity of amyloid bound with collagen fi bers to fi nd the severity of damage caused by amyloid deposition in the connective tissue stroma of various organs. When stained with trichrome, amyloid that was aĴ ached to collagen fi bers appeared red while amyloid without collagen fi bre appeared blue 13 .…”
