Poultry
CHICKEN
 Coccidiosis
It is the most common diseases affecting small flocks around the world,this disease is causing
loss in performance and mortality.
This disease is caused by protozoan parasites from the genus Eimeria.
Treatment is usually administered by adding Amprolium to the chickens' water supply, however in
some cases, where sick chickens aren't eating or drinking enough, the medication is given orally.
 Avian Influenza
Also known as 'bird flu - is a disease primarily affecting birds and caused by a Orthomyxoviridae
family virus. According to its sub type it may be classified as high or low pathogenicity, presenting
different symptoms in infected birds.
 Mycoplasmosis
is an infectious respiratory disease that affects poultry. In laying hens, this disease causes reduced
egg production and hatchability. Mycoplasmosis is caused by several species of pathogenic
Mycoplasma bacteria.
 Marek's Disease
Marek’s Disease is a highly contagious (spreadable) viral disease of poultry, especially chickens, It
is known to cause tumors which can lead to paralaysis (among other clinical signs) and death.
While there is no treatment, vaccination represents an excellent example of disease control
 Virulent Newcastle Disease (vND)

It is considered to be one of the most significant diseases of poultry in the world.
can be spread from excretions from infected birds, aerosols and feces. Consequently, the virus can
be associated with contaminated feed, water, footwear, clothing, tools, equipment and the
environment.
This disease is no treatment and the disease is highly infectious understanding how the virus
spreads is essential to controlling the impact it causes.
 Fowl Cholera
It is a contagious, bacterial disease of birds caused by Pasteurella multocida. This disease causes
elevated mortality. Chronically, it causes lameness, and swollen wattles.
You can treat this diseases by Antibiotics such as sulfadimethoxine, tetracyclines, erythromycin,
or penicillin will usually decrease mortality in a flock.
Livestock
CATTLE
 Benign theileriosis in Victoria

It is a tick-borne disease caused by intracellular blood parasites belonging to the Theileria
orientalis group,The vectors of benign theileriosis in Victoria are believed to be ticks of the genus
Haemaphysalis,mainly H. longicornis, the bush tick.
 Bovine Johne's disease

It is a fatal wasting disease of cattle, goats, alpaca and deer caused by a chronic bacterial
infection. There is no treatment for BJD. While certain antibiotics may provide some temporary
relief, infected cattle will inevitably die.
Lumpy skin disease

is a highly contagious viral disease of cattle and buffalo that causes relatively low mortality.
Lumpy skin disease is an infectious, eruptive, occasionally fatal disease of cattle characterized by
nodules on the skin and other parts of the body.
lumpy cow skin disease has no direct antiviral treatment. Instead, the infected animals receive
supportive care, which involves the use of antibiotics, painkillers, and wound care sprays to treat
symptoms. As there's no treatment, vaccines are used to control disease transmission.
SHEEP
 Bluetongue
is a non-contagious, viral disease affecting domestic and wild ruminants that is Primarily to
sheeps transmitted by insects, particularly biting midges of the Culicoides species.
There is no specific treatment for animals with bluetongue apart from rest, provision of soft food,
and good husbandry.
Caseous Lymphadenitis
is a chronic, contagious bacterial disease that manifests clinically as abscesses of peripheral
and/or internal lymph nodes and organs. The characteristic purulent material is very thick and
nonodorous.
Sheep Scab
Sheep scab is an intensely pruritic, exudative, allergic reaction to the
Psoroptes ovis mites whichlive on the skin surface, causing intense irritation and breakdown of
the animal's skin.
There are only two types of treatment for sheep scab – organophosphate (OP) plunge dips
(containing diazinon) and endectocides (injectable group 3-ML).
GOAT
Orf (sore mouth infection, contagious ecthyma)

Orf is a common disease world wide in goats and sheep. It is also called "sore mouth" or "scabby
mouth." It is caused by a virus (parapoxvirus) that causes blisters to form on the lips, muzzle, and
in the mouth.
Treatment is supportive and typically consists of local antiseptics and dressings as needed,
sometimes with finger immobilization and/or antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections.
Q Fever
is a disease caused by a type of bacterium named Coxiella burnetii. It is primarily a disease of
cattle, sheep, and goats although other livestock and pets can also get Q Fever. The disease in
people ranges from asymptomatic to severe. Most animals have no symptoms but infection may
cause abortion in sheep and goats.
It is recommended to work with your veterinarian if you suspect abortions due to Q fever
Listeriosis
is a rare but serious disease of humans caused by the germ Listeria monocytogenes; it is usually
acquired by eating or drinking foods contaminated with the germ. Unpasteurized milk and cold
cuts are the foods most likely to transmit listeriosis.
Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. The most commonly prescribed treatment is intravenous
ampicillin.
SWINE
Porcine parvovirus
a virus in the species Ungulate protoparvovirus 1 of genus Protoparvovirus in the virus family
Parvoviridae, causes reproductive failure of swine characterized by embryonic and fetal infection
and death, usually in the absence of outward maternal clinical signs
There is no treatment for porcine parvovirus.
Pseudorabiesm
is a disease of swine that can also affect cattle, dogs, cats, sheep, and goats. Pseudorabies virus
(PRV) is a contagious herpesvirus that causes reproductive problems, (abortion, stillbirths),
respiratory problems and occasional deaths in breeding and finishing hogs.
There is no treatment but antibiotic medications can control secondary bacterial infections
Swine dysentery (SD)

is a severe, infectious disease characterized by mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and marked
inflammation limited to the large intestine (cecum and/or colon).
Treatment : water must be medicated with lincomycin, tiamulin or tylosin for at least 7 days.
HORSE
Tickborne diseases
are transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. These include Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis,
Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Powassan (POW), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Tularemia. Ticks
can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites
Treatment is similar to Lyme disease, and includes the use of tetracyclines (oxytetracycline,
doxycycline, minocycline); however, it is generally shorter (7 days).
Anthrax
- in horses is usually acute, and clinical signs depend on route of exposure. If ingested,
clinical signs include loss of appetite, colic, enteritis, fever, trembling depression, and
bloody diarrhea. Death usually occurs within 48 to 96 hours.
All types of anthrax infection can be treated with antibiotics, including intravenous

antibiotics (medicine given through the vein).
Mumps in horse
most commonly are due to a swelling of the parotid gland, caused by exposure to new, spring grass
or sugar-rich grass or pollens
Generally, removing the horse from the triggering grass is enough for grass mumps to clear up on
their own within a day or two; some advise giving antihistamine.
