Causes of disease easily caused by raising chickens in spring

Spring as a more comfortable season, many people will begin to raise chickens in this season. In fact, the environmental change in spring is relatively large, especially the temperature, the temperature difference between day and night is large. If chicken raising is not well managed, it will have a great impact on the growth of chickens. And raising chickens in spring is also easy to get sick. So what is the reason why raising chickens in spring is easy to get sick? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Climatic factors

Although the temperature in spring is higher than that in winter. But it is not stable, and the climate change is still quite large. In particular, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Therefore, when we raise chickens in spring, we still have to do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation. If the temperature in the henhouse rises and falls, it is very easy to lead to a variety of stress reactions and disease. For example, cold stress, cold and so on. As a result, the immunity of the chicken will decrease, and some complications will occur easily, which will seriously affect the growth of the chicken.

2. Poor ventilation

As I just said, in spring, the temperature is relatively low for the growth of chickens. Therefore, in order to do a good job of keeping the chicken house warm and cold, many farmers will seal the chicken house tightly. Thus ignoring the ventilation work of the chicken house, some chicken farmers will expand the breeding density, let the chickens warm each other, and so on. These measures will lead to excessive content of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the chicken house. It causes damage to the respiratory mucosa of chickens and, in severe cases, causes the disappearance of natural barriers, which leads to respiratory diseases in chickens.

3. Hygienic reasons

When we raise chickens, we should also pay attention to the hygienic environment of the henhouse. If the environmental hygiene of the chicken house is poor, it is also very disadvantageous to the growth of the chicken. For example, they do not clean up chicken droppings in time, or do not pay attention to the environment and the disinfection of breeding utensils. Will reduce the chicken's body resistance, and the chicken's resistance to decline, the pathogenic microorganisms hidden in the environment can take advantage of, resulting in chicken disease. And chicken feces will also produce a large number of bacteria, which will further increase the probability of chicken disease.

4. Nutritional factors

The growth of chickens has a great demand for nutrition. When we feed, we should pay attention to keep the nutrition comprehensive and adequate. If the content of vitamins in the feed is too low, especially if vitamin An or chickens have absorption disorders. Then the injured respiratory mucosa of chickens can not be repaired timely and effectively, thus creating conditions for the invasion of pathogens. Among them, the lack of trace elements such as zinc and selenium is the main cause of chicken absorption disorder, but also affect the development of chicken immune system, so we should pay more attention. In addition, we should also pay attention to reduce the stress response of chickens, stress can easily lead to chicken infection with influenza, E. coli and other bacteria.

The above is a brief introduction to the causes of the disease of raising chickens in spring. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
