Poultry houses often have a history of coal-burning thermal insulation, due to warm Kang cracks, or chimney blockage, smoke, closed doors and windows, poor ventilation and other reasons, can lead to carbon monoxide can not be discharged in time, causing poisoning.

(2) characteristics of the disease: dyspnea and restlessness were common in poisoned chickens, which soon turned to standing or paralysis, lethargy, spasms and convulsions before death. Autopsy showed that the blood vessels and blood in each organ were bright red.

(3) Prevention and control measures: the coal fire heating device used in the chicken house and brooding room should pay attention to the ventilation condition in order to keep the ventilation good and the temperature suitable. As long as there is no mental paralysis, it can be prevented. In the event of poisoning, the window should be opened quickly for ventilation.
