How to distinguish Chicken feces and diagnose Chicken Diseases in raising chickens

In general, normal chicken manure is strip-shaped, and the surface of chicken manure is covered with a layer of white urate, which is moderate in hardness and softness. Its color can vary with different types of feed, mostly grayish green or sauce yellow. If it is too hard or too thin, it is caused by insufficient or excessive drinking water. But too soft is because there is too much bran wheat in the feed. If chicken manure is abnormal in quality, quantity, shape and color, it may be caused by disease. There are several kinds of abnormal chicken droppings:

Fleshy red feces: shaped like rotten meat, which is formed by exfoliated intestinal mucosa. It is more common in chickens with coccidiosis, taeniasis, ascariasis and enteritis in convalescent stage.

Hematological stool: black stool or tea black, commonly seen in upper gastrointestinal bleeding; stool red or bright red, more common in lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Yellow sulfur feces: the surface of feces is covered with yellow or yellowish urine. That is due to damage to the hepatic lobule, which affects bile excretion, causing bilirubin to enter the bloodstream and excreted through urine. It is common in appendicitis and hepatitis.

Green thick malodorous stool: feces show dark green, which is due to the mixture of bile and intestinal tissue cells, more common in avian cholera, Newcastle disease, laryngotracheitis and so on.

Rarefied feces: the chicken digests normally, but the feces are not shaped because of a large amount of water content in the feces, due to a sudden increase in drinking water in hot weather, too much salt in the feed, mild E. coli infection and slight toxic substances in the feed.

Rust-colored water sample: rust-colored water sample mixed with urate, sometimes mixed with indigestible feed. This is caused by severe intestinal bleeding. It is more common in diseases such as early Newcastle disease poisoning that cause gastrointestinal bleeding.

Milk-like feces: milky white, dilute water-like, like milk poured on the ground, more common in mucosal congestion, mild enteritis.

White thin feces: sticky, often sticky in the chicken anus, more common in chicken white dysentery.

White water sample: feces are watery and mixed with white urate particles. It is more common in chickens with loss of appetite, paralysis and uremia. This is because there is no food in the digestive tract and the feces are uric acid.
