In the world of poultry health, ๐. ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช infections often manifest in surprising and challenging ways. One of the most telling signs? ๐ ๐ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐.
When ๐. ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช strikes, the body responds with an inflammatory reaction, leading to the accumulation of fibrinโa protein that normally helps with blood clottingโunder the skin. This results in yellowish, thickened patches, a condition known as ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ.
While this is the bodyโs attempt to contain the infection, it also causes significant tissue damage. For producers, this means potential downgrading or even condemnation of birds during processing, translating to economic losses.
Recognizing and understanding fibrin deposition in ๐. ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช infections are key to better prevention and management, ultimately safeguarding poultry health and productivity.
