Treatment measures for vitamin b1 and b2 deficiency in chickens

1. Vitamin B1 deficiency.

The chicken head suffering from the disease suppressed back and looked at the sky with two eyes. Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is essential for carbohydrate metabolism in chickens. Nerve tissue carbohydrates are oxidized to provide energy, such as vitamin B1 deficiency, then the nerve tissue due to insufficient energy supply, there will be neurotrophic disorders, leading to dysfunction, diseased chickens show polyneuritis. Vitamin B1 deficiency will also slow down intestinal peristalsis, intestinal wall relaxation, loss of appetite, growth stagnation. Vitamin B1 deficiency can occur in chickens of all ages, but there are more diseases in chicks and young chickens. The sick chicken has weak legs and unstable gait. Due to peripheral nerve inflammation, its head is extremely bent back, and its shape is like looking at the sky.

Prevention and treatment: first, adequate vitamin B1 is supplied in the diet of chickens, 0.8-0.9 mg per kilogram of feed is added to adult and adult chickens, and 1.5 mg per kilogram of feed is added to chicks, which can prevent the occurrence of the disease; second, thiamine 5 mg is injected into the muscle of sick chickens (once a day for a chicken) for 5 days, and the treatment effect is excellent.

two。 Vitamin B2 deficiency.

Chickens with the disease walk on their knees, that is, when they walk, they hit the ground with hocks and spread their wings like an acrobat walking a tightrope to maintain balance. Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a component of a variety of enzymes involved in redox reactions in chickens, which is closely related to the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Vitamin B2 also plays an important role in regulating cell respiration and redox, if lacking, it will affect the normal progress of biological oxidation, resulting in metabolic disorders in the body. In addition to the peculiar walking posture, another major sign of vitamin B2 deficiency in sick chickens is that their toes and claws are bent and curled inward.

Prevention and treatment: first, adding appropriate amount of yeast, skimmed milk and alfalfa powder to the chicken diet can prevent the occurrence of the disease; second, for sick chickens, 4 mg of vitamin B2 per kilogram is added to the feed for 7 days for 15 days. better results can be obtained.
