Botulism in farmed ducks and pheasants

We recently investigated an outbreak of botulism in a duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) farm where 30,000 mallard ducks and 35,000 pheasants are reared from one day old for shooting. The farm set up is that ducks are kept on several ponds with the water refreshed using pumps. The pheasants are initially reared in small pens and later in large runs with adjacent cover provided by maize. The birds each receive commercial pelleted feed.
