Avian DNA Testing

DNA TESTING $30.00 per bird

Blood sample are taken & sent off.

PBFD Test (Beak & Feather) $50 per bird.

Please let me know if you suspect this disease as it is highly contagious.

Want to find out if your bird is male or female? I can help. You bring the bird/s to me or I can come to you by appointment as I am a Fulltime Veterinary Nurse.

I take a small blood sample from the foot. I send the sample/s off and receive results back in 2-3 weeks. I then notify you of results once I receive them and email you a copy of certificates. Very simple and quick process. We can offer you a combine deal of PBFD and DNA for $60 per bird.

As a mobile veterinary nurse I always practising routine biosecurity procedures

between flocks and owners working with them. Birds that are housed on the floor and have access to pastures and outdoor areas will have greater exposure to internal and external parasites. For birds housed in these conditions, it is important to have a prevention program in place and treat as required. This helps to minimise physical stress and keep birds in good condition so they can resist disease.

Parasite control, identifying and treating sick birds.

Parasite control starts by regularly checking your birds both on the body and

the environment, regularly inspecting birds for external parasites can give

your birds a happier and healthier life. Spraying or dusting birds thoroughly

with an approved insecticide if you can see lice or mites - spray the shed,

perches and nests thoroughly, making sure the insecticide gets into the

crevices. Cleaning sheds and rotating ranges to prevent worms

regularly checking faecal material for any sign of worms

always checking the label on worming treatments for withholding

periods as some are not suitable for production birds

consulting a veterinarian.

 

Vaccination can prevent many poultry diseases.

Vaccination can prevent many poultry diseases. Follow a suitable vaccination

program or only buy appropriately vaccinated stock. You can request

vaccination certificates from your supplier when purchasing chicks or pullets.

For breeders of poultry, when vaccinating:

  • always follow the instructions on the label, including storage conditions

  • use disposable syringes and needles

  • discard all unused vaccines, syringes and needles in a proper manner

  • be clean, but never use detergents or disinfectants near vaccination equipment.

  • Do not disinfect skin before vaccinating with fowl pox or Marek's HVT vaccine, as this will kill the vaccine virus.
