Difficulty of chicken diarrhea caused by four feed inducements

1. The content of salt is too high. In order to enhance appetite and prevent the occurrence of feather pecking and anal pecking, too much salt was added to the chicken feed, which made the chickens drink too much water and often had strong diarrhea. In addition, the excessive amount of fish meal or the added fish meal itself contains too much salt, which can easily lead to excessive salt content in the feed and cause diarrhea in laying hens.

2. The addition of stone powder is too high. Excessive or rapid addition of stone powder in the diet will lead to excessive blood calcium in laying hens, increase the burden on the kidneys, cause kidney swelling, and eventually cause diarrhea. In order to meet the needs of laying eggs, the amount of stone powder in the diet of laying hens must increase step by step with the increase of laying rate.

3. The level of crude protein is too high. In order to make chickens lay more eggs, some breeders often increase the proportion of soybean meal in the diet. The content of soybean meal is too high, the body absorption is not complete, so as to stimulate the intestinal tract, accelerate metabolism, resulting in chicken feces yellowing and thinning, feed conversion rate reduced. In general, the crude protein requirement of laying hens is about 16%. If the protein content is too high or the egg energy ratio is not balanced, it is easy to weaken the liver and kidney function of laying hens, resulting in a large amount of urate deposition and even gout.

4. Mildew of raw materials. Raw materials in feed, such as corn and peanut meal, become moldy, and their toxins will stimulate and destroy the intestinal mucosa of laying hens, increase the permeability of intestinal mucosa and cause diarrhea in laying hens.
