Botulism in Poultry Outbreaks Noted in Country Districts
Botulism in poultry appears occasionally in country areas. An Windsor district outbreak saw about 30 of 250 birds die after feeding on putrid giblets, with symptoms developing within 12 to 48 hours. The infection comes from a toxin produced by a microbe in anaerobic conditions, not from bird to bird. Recovered birds gain resistance. contamination from spoiled meat and dirty troughs is a key risk.
