Net Tex Just for Scaly Legs
250ml and 500ml
Scaly legs is a disease caused by a parasitic mite (known as
cnemidocoptes mutans) that burrows under the scales of the legs or
feet, where it causes great irritation.
This results in a
multiplication of the tissue cells and the secretion of the serum. The
scales are raised, and the legs become thickened and have a cough lumpy
appearance.
The disease is easily recognised as the mites are
evident as tiny white spherical creatures, (approximately 0. 5mm in
diameter in the early stages). It is highly contagious and affects
birds of oil ages, although older birds and feathered leg breeds tend
to be more susceptible. it is most common in flocks kept on earth or in
dry litter runs.
In the early stages it would appear to cause
little inconvenience, but should it be neglected the birds lose
condition, go lame and have difficulty in perching. In the worst
instance mortality may occur.
