IOIO “The season is now approach­ ing when cases of new grain poisoning and blue comb disease may .be expected in Ontario”, says Dr. j. S. Glover, Ontario Veterinary College. In the past, many chickens have died as the result ,of feed­ ing on new grain, especially wheat. Most Ontario poultrymen are aware of this, and during the past few years comparative­ ly few birds examined in our laboratory have shown evidence of new grain poisoning. New soft wheat is more pala­ table but less digestible than hard wheat. If given the oppor­ tunity chickens gorge them­ selves with it, and soon become sick and die. Apparently some toxic subtance is present in the grain, if taken in sufficient quantity, results in death. Af­ fected birds usually die before any symptoms of sickness are observed. On post-mortem the crop is found to ,be packed with soft grain. The entire length of the intestine is inflamed, there is sloughing ’ of the lining, and the contents are a bloody slimv mass. Prevention consists of feeding no hew grain for several weeks after it has been threshed, and then .gradually changing from old to new grain. Many birds have died through picking up grain from the ground where threshing place. If found flock remainder of Epsom salts in the drinking water at the rate of throe quar­ ters of a pound to each ohe hundred ,birds. •Bike comb, or pullet disease, resulted in fairly heavy losses has recently taken hew in a it is is the the grain poisoning few* members of advisable to give of the birds a dose flocks last have been disease, but in Ontario poultry fall. Several causes suggested for this I feel convinced that a train of circumstances leads to this trou­ ble, farther than any one specific cause. The feeding of new wheat has been suggested by some, but I have seen many cases ,in flocks where no new grain was being fed. As observed here the disease occurs chiefly in pullets that are just coming into high production and are put into winter Quarters during extreme­ ly hot, humid weather. The first evidence of the dis­ ease is an abrupt decrease in food consumption, particularly of scratch grain. Mash consump­ tion may decrease, but this evi­ dence is less pronounced. Chick­ ens usually stand around inac­ tive food. next still, tempt to move and can be pick­ ed up easily. In the advanced stages the head and feet are cold, the comb and wattles turn blue, and the crop is usually full and hard. Digestion and Circulation appear to be almost stopped, and the individuals may tremble fore death. Little can vidual bird stages of an cause they do not eat or drink. Treatment must be given during the early stages, preferably in the drinking water, as then there is heavy Water consump­ tion resulting from the high fever. . For treatment We suggest tak­ ing away the hard grain if pos­ sible, permitting the birds ac­ cess to range, providing shade and ample watering facilities.
