Impact of flight load on the health of carrier pigeons

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Increased stress and short time for regeneration during the race are an important factors that significantly affects the health of racing pigeons and their flight performance. The aim of this study were to observe the health status of 80 racing pigeons (Columba livia f. dom.) in age 1.5 - 4 years originated from holding on west of Slovakia, which for three months completed eighteen races at a distance of 120 - 1150 km. At the beginning and at the end of the race season were taken the samples of swabs from cloaca and oropharynx. Comparing the most common diseases of pigeons, were found an increased incidence of coccidiosis (52.2%), trichomoniasis (31.9%), respiratory syndrome (7.2%) and ectoparasitosis (5.8%) after the race season. Results are showing that also despite increased prevalence of monitored diseases, the pigeons are able to provide flight performance and cope with changes in their organism during this difficult race period.
