Science of feed restriction for young chickens
Under normal circumstances, the feeding of young chickens should be restricted. In the restricted feeding, some households think that the less chickens eat, the better, and the lower the quality of feed, the better. therefore, the supply of young chickens is single, irregular, no plan, no standard, careless management and so on. In fact, this practice misunderstands the original meaning of feed restriction.
The purpose of the feed restriction is to control the weight growth of the chicken, prevent the chicken from maturing too early (prematurely), maintain the standard opening time and body weight, slightly inhibit its growth, and prevent the chicken from increasing the accumulation of body fat due to eating too much food. in order to ensure the normal growth of chickens and the reasonable need for nutrients. However, feed restriction can not hinder the normal development of other organs and tissues of chickens.
The correct feed restriction is not inferior feeding, but should be carried out from the following three aspects: first, limit the amount of feed, that is, limit the amount of feed so that it is 10% or 20% less than free feeding; second, limit the quality of diet, appropriately increase the quantity of fiber and green succulent feed, and reduce the quantity of concentrate feed; third, limit the feeding time, that is, limit the feeding time, feed regularly every day or adopt the feeding method of stopping water one day a week.
After the end of restricted feeding (after 15 weeks of age), young chickens are transferred to free food, so as to prepare for the opening of production.

Porcine pseudorabies
The disease is an acute infectious disease of pigs and other animals caused by pseudorabies virus. It is characterized by fever, itching (except pigs) and symptoms of encephalomyelitis. Adult pigs often have recessive infection, with abortion, stillbirth and respiratory symptoms, while suckling piglets generally show neurological symptoms. Pathogen: the pathogen is herpesviridae, herpesvirus type I. The virus has strong resistance, but it is sensitive to heat, formaldehyde, ether and ultraviolet rays. There is only one serotype of this virus. Epidemic disease

Symptoms and pathological changes of salmonellosis in ducks
1. Symptoms through infected duck eggs infected with salmonella or out-of-shell ducklings infected with bacteria in the incubator, often with septicemia, often die quickly without showing any symptoms. Older young birds often have a subacute process. Lethargy, drooping head and eyes, drooping wings, loose feathers, significant anorexia, increased drinking water, watery dysentery, fecal adhesion to the anus, fear of cold and close to the heat source or crowding each other. Respiratory symptoms are not common. Ducklings have symptoms such as trembling, wheezing and eyelid edema, and often fall to the ground suddenly and die, so they have "cataplexy".
