Farm-Poultry Doctor - Prevention and Cure of Poultry Diseases #228363

Writers in the poultry press, in telling what remedies to give, often say, "I gave three doses of 'something,' and cured the bird." Many letters have I received asking, "How much, and how often shall I give the medicine?" It is hoped that the directions here given are plain on these points.<br><br>A severe illness of a bird, even though it apparently recovers, reduces its value. Throughout these pages it is prevention of disease, rather than cure, that is emphasized. First, how to avoid; second, how to cure.<br><br>Our birds are at our mercy, and if disease appears in the flock, commonly, it is because of sins of omission or commission on the part of the owner.<br><br>If the ideas here presented shall lead to more healthy birds - increased profit - the book will have accomplished its mission.
