    To address your question about the quarantine practice of her birds - she kept all her GFF birds together and separated from her overall flock.

    Greenfire Farms Birds and Avian Leukosis - Mareks Disease - Infectious Bronchitis - Mycoplasma synoviae

    There have to be other bodies that regulate commercial hatcheries I would think - within USDA or elsewhere. I thought NPIP just had the goal of improvement but I don't really know. If may come down to (like so many things) funding for additional staff and resources to expand. Thanks for the...

    Greenfire Farms Birds and Avian Leukosis - Mareks Disease - Infectious Bronchitis - Mycoplasma synoviae

    Three of the necropsy reports posted were from "my internet friends" and those reports contain confirmed Mareks, infectious bronchitis, and Mycoplasma (highlighted for convenience). This is a PSA only and looking for others who have had the same issues to try to create some accountability, not a...

    Greenfire Farms Birds and Avian Leukosis - Mareks Disease - Infectious Bronchitis - Mycoplasma synoviae

    Thank you for the advice on not waiting to report. I did hear that NPIP isn't concerned about Leukosis, which is troubling. I am not at all concerned about where the coccidiosis came from as this is super common - which is why I didn't even bring that up as a concern, or put it in the heading...

    I am looking for other people who have received sick birds from Greenfire farms to file a formal complaint with NPIP and other state or federal regulatory agencies. My concern is the farm is acting as a reservoir for fatal avian diseases that are being nationally distributed by their operation...

    I had the same problem with some Silver Marans I ordered from them - necropsy confirmed it is Avian Leukosis. Untreatable, only way to eradicate is to destroy your flock. Symptoms were the birds would become lame or very sleepy, have pale combs, appear weak, then drop dead. They never recover...

    Day 5 - then what? - Sulfadimethoxine 12.5 % Solution

    I realize this is an old thread, but research published in 2006 says sulfodimethoxine is detectable in the egg white until 20 days post treatment, detectable in yolks 14 days post treatment.

    Advice Needed On The Use Of Sulfadimethoxine

    After an outbreak in my flock I have been looking around for information about Sulfadimethoxine use in hens over 16 weeks. The packaging says it should not be used on them, however there are research papers online that shed light on residual antibiotics in eggs. Here is the one I found that...

    Coccidiosis & Eggs

    Coccidiosis itself does not, but treatment with sulfadimethoxine does. Here is the result of one research study performed on the drug content in the yolk and albumin: Sulphonamide residues in eggs following drug administration via the drinking water. Roudaut B1, Garnier M. Author information...
