O emprego da penicilina e da dihidroestreptomicina na cólera aviária

Abstract

A series of tests was carried out at the Instituto de Pesquisas Veterinarias "Desi-derio Finamor", in Guaiba, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, to determine if certain anti-brotics could offer protection against jowl cholera, produced by Pasteurella multocida, a member of the hemorrhagic septicemia group of organisms. Results showed that Despacilin, at daily of 20.000 nuits or Dibiotyl, at daily doses of 10.000 units, botl for 3 consecutive days, is recommended for chickens. All foul should be tested as possible carriers of Pasteurella, otherwise a new outbreak of the disease might appear later. To complement the action of the antibiotics, vigorous desinfection of the premi. ses and ordinary prophylactic measmes are helpful in the control of the disease.
