Pathomorphological analyses of pigeon diseases

Work topic: Pathomorphological analyses of pigeon diseases. Our work aim was to carry out analyses of pigeon diseases. The study investigated 84 pigeon corpses (56 decorative pigeons and 28 sports, 51 male and 33 female) from 7 different pigeon keepers. Samples of changed organ's were investigated histologically. Samples were dyed with hematoxylin and eosin, Ziehl–Neelsen methods. There was designed a questionnaire, to which 42 pigeon keepers answered. There were found, that for the most part of pathomorphological investigation's time, contagious diseases were set out to 70 proc. of corpses: tuberculosis, paramixovirosis, colibacteriosis, coccidiosis. There were noticed, that tuberculosis and coccidiosis occurrence is dependent by bird's age (p ≤ 0,05). Dependently by a breed - enterocolitis, which is statistically more reliable to sports pigeons then to decorative doves. Comparing two sexes, both males and females were suffered same diseases equally. By a data collected from a questionnaire most pigeon owners encounter salmonella, paramixovirosis and chlamydiosis. They do vaccinate (59 proc.) and most of them choose divalent vaccine from salmonella and paramixovirus
