Common disease symptoms and prevention methods of ducks

Duck is one of our common poultry, in our breeding range is very wide, nutritional value and high economic value, deeply loved by consumers. However, in the breeding process, with the larger breeding scale, the higher its incidence rate, causing economic losses to farmers, the following pro-farming network brings duck common diseases and their prevention and control methods, let's take a look together.

1. Influenza

This disease is a sudden disease, the onset is extremely rapid, but also has a strong infectivity, generally in autumn and winter communication, temperature changes between the attack. The symptoms are not eating, and the temperature is obviously elevated.

Its mortality rate is extremely high, generally in ducks after the disease performance for appetite waste, listlessness, high temperature fever, diarrhea, thin feces have foul smell, but also with bloodshot, breathing difficulties, the best exhaustion asphyxia and death.

Prevention and control methods: to strengthen feeding management, do a good job of environmental sanitation and disinfection, prevent bacterial breeding infection, ensure the freshness and cleanliness of feed and drinking water, feed should not be deteriorated, mildew, drinking water should be changed frequently, especially in the summer high temperature season. After the disease can be used in accordance with the instructions for use of special prevention and treatment drugs treatment.

4. Duck cholera

The above are common duck disease symptoms and prevention methods brought by pro-farming network, hoping to help you, if you want to know more about duck breeding knowledge, please pay attention.
