Can chickens also get "air conditioning disease" in summer? Prevention ideas and methods attached!

Meat-eating chickens and laying hens in summer have better hardware, and most of them have water curtains. However, there are misunderstandings in the use of water curtains, and there will be another kind of respiratory tract in summer-the respiratory tract caused by water curtains, so chickens will also get "air conditioning disease", so what are the ideas and methods of prevention and treatment?

First, the air conditioning disease of chickens

According to my experience, when chickens catch a cold in summer, it is due to the premature use of water curtains, the lack of plump feathers and the poor ability to adjust the temperature.

The chicken cold caused by improper use of water curtain has particularity, which gives breeding friends the feeling that there seems to be something wrong with the chicken, but the anatomical problem is not big, there is a strange feeling, and the food intake can not go up.

II. Principles for the use of water curtain

For the use of the water curtain in the chicken house, many people have a question: when is the most appropriate time to open the water curtain?

The use of water curtain, we all know that it needs to be based on experience. This experience should follow the nature of chickens. As the saying goes, chicks are afraid of cold and big chickens are afraid of heat. In the case of chicken feathers are not completely full, do not use water curtain, the chicken is not afraid of heatstroke, the temperature is high, can be used to increase ventilation to cool down. When the chicken to 25 days or so, the feathers of the chicken has been gradually plump, can resist the larger temperature difference in the outside world, you can consider opening the water curtain.

The use of the water curtain will make the chicken in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment, the cool water curtain will be closed at night, the chicken will be in a high-temperature environment, the temperature difference fluctuates repeatedly, and the chicken will repeatedly accept cold stress, resulting in a weakening of its physique, which makes us feel strange and unable to explain the reason. this situation is more similar to human "air-conditioning disease".

Chickens in repeated cold stress stimulation, there will be cold symptoms, but this cold is different from other season chicken cold symptoms, so it will also be neglected by us.

At this time, the chicken cold is caused by low temperature and high humidity, which can cause damp-cold symptoms of the chicken body. The weakness caused by this dampness and cold will affect the function of the chicken's lungs, that is, a weak cough. The specific performance is that the chicken coop chicken has respiratory tract, but it is not serious, there is a sound, not a sound. It doesn't feel like a cold, it spreads so fast, it's all over the henhouse.

After dissection, the whole visceral trachea of the wet and cold chicken looks like washing. But it looks clean and has no other symptoms.

Third, the thinking of treatment.

For such a weak chicken, the feed intake of broilers cannot go up, and laying hens are affected, there are only two ways to solve the problem:

On the one hand is to control the use of water curtains, early can not be used as far as possible, when using, according to their own chicken coop situation to explore experience.

On the other hand, through drug conditioning. Here I am talking about recuperation, not treatment. Because traditional Chinese medicine focuses on recuperation, Western medicine focuses on treatment. For such cold symptoms, the effect of western medicine is not obvious. Need to use the traditional Chinese medicine Jianchuang Fangdu powder, which is wet in the row, to recuperate, so that the food intake will increase rapidly.
