What are the common diseases of chicks

The disease is the main prevention object when raising chicks, the breeding density of poultry is relatively large, many diseases are easy to appear, chicks are particularly prominent in this aspect, so what are the common diseases in chicken breeding? Let's learn about prevention so that we can prepare for it.

1. White dysentery

White dysentery is an infectious disease, which is a kind of strong contagious ability, which is generally caused by Shigella pullorum. Common prevention depends on sterilization and disinfection. If you use medicine, you can consider 0.01% gray manganese oxygen solution or 0.01% furazolidone solution. When the disease occurs, the symptoms are more obvious, unwilling to move, the stench of feces is serious, and it is accompanied by difficulty in breathing. the most obvious manifestation is that there is some gray mucus around the chicken buttocks, especially when excreted.

2. Coccidiosis

This is caused by parasites, which are generally unqualified in hygiene, causing coccidia larvae to breed in henhouses, preferably attached to chicks. The reproduction of coccidia itself is very fast, especially when there is a lot of chicken manure in the outside world, the growth space of coccidia eggs is sufficient, and its spawning spread is extremely scary. When the onset of disorderly feathers, standing still, poor mental state, feces show diarrhea, sometimes accompanied by bleeding and white substances excreted together, generally choose sulfonamides treatment, the effect is more obvious.

3. Ganzhu

This is generally caused by poor care of chicks as soon as they are hatched, such as insufficient drinking water and poor yolk absorption. The symptoms are mainly above the anus, when the disease occurs, the anus of the chicken is dry and the chicken is not excreted, and abnormal calls will appear over a long period of time. When this disease occurs, generally alleviate the dryness of the anus, you can consider cleaning with gray manganese oxygen solution, and then you can properly feed a little rape oil and so on to relieve the intestines and stomach, and finally dilute the intestines and stomach with water.

4. Fowlpox

I believe that this disease is not unfamiliar to many people. In the past, it can be a high-risk chicken disease. Now, with the corresponding vaccine, the harm is much lower, but the probability of occurrence is still very high. When the virus attacks the chicks, acne will appear in many places on the chicks, and acne may grow in the eyes, esophagus, corners of the mouth and other places, threatening the normal life of the chicks. This is the best early injection of preventive vaccine to avoid infection, after the onset of the disease to target the drug to remove acne, and then apply the medicine in the position of acne scab.

The above are some of the common diseases of chicks, different conditions in different places, the incidence and types of chicks will be different. When there is a disease in the chicken, we must first understand what the disease is, and consider how to prevent it when we treat it.
