Clinical Signs in Turkeys

Coccidiosis in turkeys is a disease that does not cause a specific symptom, but include all of those signs related to enteric problems such as:

Pale birds
Huddling
Drop in feed and water consumption
Weight loss
Depression
Watery diarrhoea that may occasionally be blood-stained or contain clumps of mucus or shed mucosa
Tucked appearance, ruffled feathers
High morbidity
Mortality (may occurred on the 5th to 6th day post infection)

The signs and lesions of the infection depend on the species of coccidia causing the problem, its severity and the stage of the disease.
