How to manage after the disease occurs in the flock

Chicken flock

During the onset of the disease, chickens will appear physiological dysfunction, showing a decline in the ability to adapt to the environment, but the demand for nutrients increases and the endocrine regulation of chickens will also be affected. If farmers can take better management measures and give adjuvant treatment at this time, then the recovery of the disease of chickens will get twice the result with half the effort.

I. elimination

1. Quarantined and eliminated. The reason for isolating seriously sick chickens: first, for seriously sick chickens, the amount of medicine for seriously sick chickens is not enough, so there will still be death, affecting farmers' judgment on the use of drugs, playing a misleading role. Second, sick chickens will continue to spread the virus, resulting in some poor immunity of chickens infected with the virus, aggravating the disease of chickens. Third, separate management of isolated seriously ill chickens, targeted administration of drugs, there may be some seriously ill chickens will recover and reduce the loss.

two。 Resolutely eliminated. For sick chickens that have no therapeutic value, they should be resolutely eliminated.

2. Feeding

The disease of chicken flocks will often increase their body temperature and disorder their metabolism. Therefore, it is necessary to change the nutrients and their contents and feeding methods in the feed.

1. We need to raise the energy level. According to the decreasing degree of feed intake of chickens, the energy level should be increased by 1-1.5 times.

two。 Increase the content of vitamins in chicken feed. Increase vitamin An and B by 2 to 3 times, vitamin E by 5 times, and increase vitamin C and D by an appropriate amount. In short, large doses of multivitamins are effective in promoting the recovery of chickens.

3. Properly reduce the content of fat in chicken feed. Especially when there are some kidney-related diseases in chickens to reduce the burden on the kidneys.

4. Increase the facilities and frequency of feeding chicken feed. If possible, wet the feed or process the feed into granular feed to stimulate feeding.

5. Keep feed and feed feeding facilities clean and hygienic to prevent mildew.

Chicken

Third, drinking water

During the attack of the flock, farmers must ensure the normal supply of drinking water for the flock, and also ensure that the water in the drinking fountain of the chicken is clean and adequate. If the drug is administered in the drinking water of chickens, it is necessary to calculate the dosage according to the normal amount of drinking water of the chickens and mix it evenly. Also pay attention to how long these drugs are effective in the water, because to ensure that the drugs can be fed within an effective time, farmers must remember not to cut off the water before administration.

IV. Ventilation

During the onset of the disease, the ventilation volume must be increased to keep the air fresh. But in winter, we should pay attention to the heat preservation of the chicken coop while ventilating, so as to avoid the direct damage caused by the thief wind and cold wind to the chicken. Ventilation is particularly important when chickens suffer from respiratory diseases, especially when they are infected with pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and mycoplasma. If we only want to rely on drugs for simple treatment without improving the environment of the chicken coop, it may have little effect.

5. Disinfection

Timely removal of chicken droppings in the chicken house, adhere to chicken disinfection, increase the frequency of disinfection. However, when chickens suffer from respiratory diseases, do not carry out aerosol immunization. But if the chickens need to be vaccinated urgently, please do not disinfect the chickens to avoid the disinfectant will destroy the vaccine.
