CCRD

CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE (CRD)

Chronic respiratory disease (CRD) has been reported in chickens and turkeys. CRD is a specific disease caused by the group of organisms known as pleuropneumonia-like organism (PPLO).

There are more than 100 species of Mycoplasma, 23 of which occurs in birds, to which 4 causes economic losses. These four species are Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) which affects chicken and turkey, Mycoplasma meleagridis (MM) and Mycoplasma iowae (MI), which solely affects turkeys.

In boriler M. gallisepticum causes CRD and is being exacerbated by other pathogens like E.coli,immunosuppresion, dust, ammonia, overcrowding, etc. On the other hand, M. synoviae causes mild respiratory diseases and occasional synovitis/arthitis. In layers, both species cause egg production loss.

Mode of transmission is through eggs, but can be also passed from bird to bird through nasal discharges and droppings. Symptoms includes nasal discharges,coughing, sneezing and swelling of the face.

Uncomplicated CRD is not a big problem today, however, CRD with co-infection of E.coli causes CCRD outbreak and high mortalities.

There are control strategies against Avian Mycoplasmosis. Management is a good key to success in prevention and lowering the cases of CCRD. Ensuring a free-mycoplasma breeder flocks has a big role in CCRD control. Eradication of MG in primary breeding stock must be in a priority list. Vaccination in breeders are being incorporated in every breeder flock health program. The use of antibiotics is also vital in eradication and prevention on both breeder and broilers.

Mycoplasma species are most sensitive to macrolides, ramphenicol group, tetracyclines and quinolones.

CARE/ TREATMENT

Metaplue is a patented florfenicol developed by KBNP Inc. It inhibits the protein synthesis of bacteria. Metaplue is a patented product due to its Unique manufacturing process, which contributes to the product stability. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic for Mycoplasma, gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Unlike chloramphenicol, it is both safe to humans and animals. It does not impose a risk on development of aplastic anemia in humans.

Metaplue is a fast acting and long lasting florfenicol. It can reach a peak serum level within one hour and has an elimination half life of 18 hours.

Metaplue also uses capric and caprilic acid from as solvents that contributes on better efficacy of Metaplue. Unlike other solvents, caprylic and capric acid are medium-chained fatty acid which are being absorbed by the digestive tract. These solvents are non-corrosive and non-toxic because they are derived from coconut extract,thus safe to animal use.
