thank you granny. That’s what I was worried about.Synovitis Synovitis is a worldwide disease of turkeys and chickens. The disease is caused by Mycoplasma synoviae and is frequently complicated by additional bacterial infections. There are two forms: (1) The respiratory form infects the trachea, sinuses, and air sacs and is more often found in broiler chickens. (2) The systemic form involves the synovial membranes of joints and tendons and is found in both turkeys and chickens. The systemic disease usually appears in turkeys at 10-12 weeks of age. Lameness is followed by lethargy, reluctance to move, swollen joints, loss of weight, breast blisters, poor growth, variable respiratory signs and lesions, and yellow, creamy fluid in swollen joints (hocks, wings, and feet). Chronically infected birds become dehydrated, emaciated, and have greenish diarrhea. Synovitis is most often transmitted from the hen to the egg. It also spreads bird-to-bird at hatch and thereafter. Birds are infected for life and remain carriers. Mycoplasma are sensitive to sunlight and disinfectants. They are mechanically spread via equipment, clothing, etc. Obtain stock from Mycoplasma-free flocks. No medication will eliminate the organism from the flock. There is no effective vaccine.
