What are the common diseases when raising chickens in spring?

1. Respiratory diseases

This is one of the diseases that often occur when raising chickens in spring, because the temperature in spring is not very high, especially the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. If the chicken shed does not take good measures to keep warm, the resistance of the chicken will be reduced, resulting in respiratory tract infection. In addition, there are also because of poor ventilation, high breeding density, poor sanitary conditions of chicken sheds, failure to clean up feces or feed residues in time, resulting in chickens infected with germs in the environment and respiratory tract infection. Most breeding sites are not like free-range chickens in farmers' homes, where they do not get light or exercise, so their immunity will decline and respiratory diseases will occur.

2. Influenza

In spring, not only people are prone to influenza, but also animals. Chickens with flu usually show signs of lethargy and dozing. If you see a chicken with such symptoms, you must isolate it in time, because the flu is very contagious, and the chicken is gregarious, and once one is infected, it is easy to get infected in pieces, so you need to be treated with medicine. do a good job of disinfection and environmental hygiene.

Usually recommended drinking water is warm water, you can close the doors and windows, if necessary, add warm equipment.

2. Ventilation at all times

Although it is necessary to close the doors and windows to keep warm, it is also necessary to maintain the ventilation of the chicken shed so that the fresh air in the respiratory tract can be kept fresh at all times and the growth of bacteria can be reduced.

3. Do a good job in disinfecting chicken sheds

The environmental hygiene of the chicken shed is very important, once there is a disease, it is easy to get sick as a whole, so usually do a good job of disinfection measures to clean up feces and excess feed.

Finally, the resistance of chickens can be increased by feeding, the protein content of feed can be increased by chicks, the energy in feed can be increased by growing chickens, and the supply of vitamins and trace elements can be increased in middle age.
