The reason for the high mortality of chicks

What I fear most when raising chicks is the sudden death of chicks, but there are only a few causes of death, and many of the high mortality rates are basically caused by the following problems. Let's learn about it and see what reasons have been affecting everyone's aquaculture income.

1. There are many germs

The resistance of chicks is poor, and their protection against germs can be said to be close or non-existent, which all depends on the farmers' own awareness of disease prevention. However, many farmers actually do not care about the hygiene of chicks, such as allowing feces to accumulate, allowing outside animals to enter, and so on, which are easy to cause diseases, because they may become pathogens. Therefore, if the mortality rate of this chick is found to be high during breeding, everyone had better check the hygiene of their henhouse to see how it is, or to carry out a disinfection to see how the effect is, and whether the mortality rate is still that high.

2. Temperature factor

Temperature is also a common problem, which is mainly divided into two aspects, one is too high temperature, the other is too low temperature, both of which will significantly increase the mortality of chicks. Low temperature is generally due to the lack of warmth, and fast air circulation, resulting in lower temperature, if the active chicks do not like to move, then you can raise the temperature to try, because this may be a sign of low temperature. If there is a high temperature, you will find that the chicks are unwilling to hug and are more anxious, and when touching them with their hands, they will obviously find their body temperature on the high side. This is the effect of temperature on chicks. Temperature control must be done to reduce mortality.

3. Wrong use of drugs

In fact, many chicks do not perform very well at the beginning, they look like poor-quality chicks, and farmers will generally choose to use drugs in such a situation. Chicks should pay attention to the use of medicine, because it is not suitable for frequent use of drugs, many small problem farmers adjust the way of breeding, they will recover themselves, do not necessarily have to use drugs. It is found that chicks take drugs when there is a problem, and the mortality rate will increase over time, because their resistance to bacteria is pulled down by drugs, which is a high mortality rate caused by irregular use of drugs.

4. Physique factors

This reason is not easy to say, because there are good and bad chicks, and people do not know the specific situation of the chicks they bought, but Kandy, who has a poor physique, is much more dead. Due to hatching, transportation, breeding and other reasons, it is difficult for chickens with poor physique to adapt to various changes. A little inattention will cause them not to adapt, and then slowly worsen. This kind of chicks recover slowly, and finally various effects accumulate. The mortality rate naturally went up. It depends on everyone's ability to choose their own chicken breeds. when buying them, look at the seedlings of several families.

These are some of the reasons for the high mortality rate of chicks, it is difficult to achieve an immortal in the process of breeding, what we do is to reduce the mortality rate, especially in batch breeding. In the face of the high mortality rate, let's find the reason and prescribe the right medicine!
