To be careful when giving medicine to chickens, there are several situations in which chicken farmers give medicine wrongly.

Raising chickens

It is common to feed chickens and give medicine. Common things require common sense. With common sense, we need to pay attention to things we need to pay attention to when operating. When giving drugs, we need to be careful not to make the following mistakes.

I. long-term use of drugs

From the day the chicks began to eat, a certain amount of antimicrobials were always added to the chicken diet during the whole breeding period and even the whole breeding period. One is to prevent and cure digestive tract diseases such as chicken pullorum, and the other is to be used as a growth promoter. The most widely used drugs are dysentery, oxytetracycline, olaquindox and so on. Even when some chicken farmers use other antibiotics, these drugs are added and regarded as essential additives.

2. Intermittent use of drugs

Not according to the course of treatment, but for the purpose of treatment, the method of stopping medication as soon as the condition improves. Due to the incomplete treatment, the chicken disease relapsed many times. This situation is mainly seen in new chicken farmers who are underfunded or have no experience in raising chickens.

III. Frequent change of drug varieties

When chickens get sick, they are eager to cure and hope that the medicine can cure the disease. Often one drug is used for a day or two, but no obvious improvement is seen and other breeds are changed. As a result, the course of the disease is delayed.

IV. Over-dose medication

Double the dose of medication, think that this can improve the treatment effect, avoid delaying the course of disease, as long as the poisoning phenomenon is found to stop the drug in time, generally will not cause large losses, but when the situation is serious, serious poisoning death accidents will occur.

5. Cumulative use of drugs

Some treatment of chicken diseases, when the use of one or two antimicrobials is not effective, and then increase the variety of drugs, even increased to 5-6. They mistakenly believe that more kinds of drugs can have a cumulative effect. There are varieties of cumulative drugs, dose cumulative drugs, the initial dose is lower, such as not effective to increase the dose again and again, and so on.

VI. Blind use of symptomatic drugs

Symptomatic therapy is a common method of drug use in clinic. However, for a flock of hundreds or thousands of chickens, there may sometimes be a variety of clinical symptoms, such as adopting the treatment measure of "headache and foot pain" regardless of priority, which is likely to lead to treatment errors. Sometimes it is found that there are wheezing symptoms and diarrhea symptoms in chickens, penicillin, erythromycin and other drugs for respiratory tract infection are added in drinking water, while dysentery, chloramphenicol and other drugs for diarrhea are mixed in the feed. In addition, it is also common to treat viral venereal diseases as bacterial venereal diseases.

VII. Blind combination of drugs

The combination of drugs is also a frequently used treatment measure in clinic. the reasonable compatibility of two or more drugs can expand the antibacterial range of drugs and improve the therapeutic effect. However, some chicken farmers do not understand the antibacterial spectrum and physical and chemical properties of drugs, and often use two or more drugs at will. For example, the combination of penicillin and oxytetracycline, penicillin and sulfonamides, erythromycin and oral rehydration salts are all taboo.
