No Cure for Fowl Cholera Says A&M Professor
Professor H E Embleton of A and M College states there is no cure for fowl cholera. He advises killing and burning affected birds or burying them deeply. If poultry houses are stationary or birds roost in one spot, rotate locations and move to fresh ground with a movable colony house. Disinfect the house with a 10 percent dip solution before moving. A pink-tinged water with potassium permanganate may help prevent spread to healthy birds.
