What should I do if there is acne in the process of raising chickens?

Chicken farming is one of the projects that many farmers are engaged in. In the process of raising chickens, what they fear most is the invasion of chicken diseases, which will often lead to large losses in breeding. Among them, chicken pox is a very common viral infectious disease, which often occurs in late autumn. What should I do if there is acne in the process of raising chickens?

Symptoms of chicken acne

Fowlpox (Avian Pox) is an acute and contagious disease of chickens, which is characterized by the occurrence of acne on the hairless or hairless skin of chickens, or the formation of fibrous necrotic pseudomembrane in the mucosa of mouth and throat. It is easy to cause epidemic in collective or large chicken farms, which can lead to slow weight gain and weight loss; when laying hens are infected, the egg production decreases temporarily, and more deaths can be caused if other infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, sanitary conditions or malnutrition are complicated. it is more likely to cause serious losses to young chickens.

The incubation period of fowlpox is about 4-10 days. According to the symptoms and lesions, it can be divided into skin type and diphtheria type. Skin type is easy to occur in autumn, diphtheria type is more in winter, and there are mixed cases.

Skin-type fowlpox lesions occur in hairless and less hairy areas, such as chicken crown, drooping, face, nostrils and eye circumference, resulting in a verrucous acne.

The diseased chicken initially produced a small gray-white nodule on the skin, which enlarged rapidly and appeared yellow, fused with the adjacent nodules to form a large dry, rough, brown scab protruding on the surface of the skin. If the knot is peeled off, a bleeding focus will be exposed on the skin. The number of scabs varies, and sometimes it can cover the whole hairless part of the chicken head.

II. Prevention and control of fowlpox

Vaccination is the most reliable way to prevent fowlpox. The currently used fowlpox vaccine is safe and effective and is suitable for chicks and chickens of different ages. (1000 feather plus 3-5ml saline).

Dip the vaccine with a thorn needle and plant it under the inside of the chicken's wing. (the chicken wing has the thinnest triangle with only a thin layer of skin, and the chicken pox is pricked there.) each chicken is stabbed once. Broilers can vaccinate their chicks against Newcastle disease while vaccinating them against fowlpox.

To often clean the food trough, sink, feed bags should be special bags; regular disinfection, remove the pathogenic microorganisms on the surface of utensils, to prevent diseases into the chicken population. Chicken breeders should also do a good job in sanitary disinfection. Timely isolation of diseased chickens, or even elimination, and thorough disinfection of venues and appliances.

Rational use of vitamins and other additives in different stages, rational allocation of feed, do not add or reduce vitamins and other additives. If vitamin supplements are ignored for a long time, chickens will die sporadically at the stage of growth and development.
