[Penile inflammation in ganders].

K P Behr, K H Hinz

    DTW. Deutsche Tierarztliche Wochenschrift
    |March 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Penis inflammation and prolapse affected up to 28% of ganders in North German breeder geese. Affected males showed poor recovery rates, necessitating pre-breeding season screening and removal of diseased birds.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Avian Pathology
    • Poultry Science

    Context:

    • Observations of penis inflammation and prolapse in North German breeder geese since 1987.
    • Up to 28% of ganders exhibited local symptoms, while females remained asymptomatic.
    • No significant impact on general health, mortality, egg production, or fertility was noted.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the clinical signs, bacteriological findings, and outcomes of penis inflammation and prolapse in breeder geese.
    • To identify causative microorganisms associated with the observed pathologies.
    • To provide recommendations for disease management in affected flocks.

    Summary:

    • Penis inflammation and prolapse were prevalent in ganders, with varied microbial findings including Mycoplasma, Candida, Bacteroides, and Escherichia.
    • Recovery rates were low, with many affected ganders developing chronic necrosis or deformation.
    • Bacteriological analysis identified a diverse range of microorganisms in affected tissues.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the significant morbidity associated with reproductive tract disorders in ganders.
    • Suggests the need for vigilant monitoring and management strategies to mitigate economic losses in goose breeding.
    • Informs veterinary practices on potential etiological agents and the chronic nature of the condition in affected ganders.
