Chicken cage manufacturers talk about the prevention and control of chicken pox
In the process of raising chickens, diseases are the killers that hinder the healthy growth of chickens and the economic benefits of farmers. Therefore, the prevention of diseases is very important. Among the common diseases of chickens, chickenpox is a viral infectious disease. And the distribution is very wide, chickens of all ages may be infected, but often occur in the young chicks stage, once the disease occurs, the mortality rate of chickens is relatively high, then how to prevent it, the chicken cage manufacturers Henan Dingtuo Group Introduce to the farmers.
First, the cause of the disease: sick chickens fall off and broken acne scars are the main form of spreading the virus, mainly through the wound of skin or mucous membranes. The ants, Aedes and Anopheles are the mediators that infect the virus. If the chicken is hurt by fighting, mane, crowding, etc., it is easy to infect the disease, causing a large number of deaths.
Second, the symptoms: natural morbidity, the incubation period of chicken pox is about 4-10 days, according to the symptoms and lesions of the diseased chicken can be divided into three types of skin type, mucosal type and mixed type, occasionally septic type:
(1) Skin type chicken pox: It is in the hairless or hairy parts of the chicken body, especially the head of the chicken, such as in the cockscomb, meat mites, eyelids, horns and cloaca, lower abdomen, legs and feet. Produces a small white nodule, which gradually becomes a reddish papule, and grows up like a mung bean big acne. It is yellow or grayish yellow, uneven, showing dry and hard nodules, sometimes blending with adjacent acne. Forms a dry, rough, tan-colored large braided nodule that protrudes from the surface of the skin. The acne can be used to cover the entire head of the chicken. Skin type chicken pox is generally mild and has no systemic symptoms, but in severely ill chickens, especially young birds show impotence, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc., and even death, and laying eggs are significantly reduced. Or completely discontinued, it is extremely harmful to the chicken farm.
(2) Mucosal type (diphtheria) type chicken pox: The lesion is mainly on the mucosal surface such as the mouth, throat and trachea. Initially rhinitis symptoms, after 2 to 3 days, a yellow-white nodule is formed on the mucosa, which protrudes slightly on the mucosal surface. Later, the small nodules rapidly enlarge and fuse with each other to form a yellow-white cheese-like pseudomembrane. The twisted cover is on the mucous membrane, much like the human diphtheria, so it is called diphtheria type chicken pox. Using a tweezers to tear off the fake film, the red fester is exposed. As the disease progresses, the pseudomembrane gradually enlarges and thickens, blocking the mouth and throat, causing the sick chickens, especially the young chickens, to suffer from breathing and swallowing, and the mouth cannot be closed. The sick chickens often breathe and make a “squeaky” sound. Due to difficulty in eating, the sick chicken quickly loses weight, is apathetic, and finally suffocates and dies. The disease is more common in chickens and young chicks, with high mortality rates and up to 60% for chickens. Some serious chickens, the nose and eyes are also affected, resulting in eye-nose chicken pox.
(3) Mixed chicken pox: refers to the simultaneous occurrence of lesions in the skin and oral mucosa, and the condition is serious. Generally, the mortality rate of chickens is small, the mortality rate of the young chicks is about 5%, and the young chicks can reach more than 10%, especially the crowded chickens. Hygienic conditions, insufficient feed or malnutrition, etc., prone to mixed disease, the mortality rate of 50%.
Third, the prevention and control of chicken pox: In addition to the general precautionary measures such as health and management of the chickens, the reliable method is to vaccinate. After one week of shelling, the chicks can be inoculated without blood vessels on the skin inside the sputum. About 4 months after the epidemic, the breeder still needs to continue the epidemic prevention and treatment. There is no specific drug at present, and some symptomatic treatments are generally used to alleviate the symptoms of the sick chicken and prevent other infectious diseases.
- Skin type chicken pox: use the disinfectiontweezerto peel off the affected part of the acne, apply iodine or gentian violet to the wound, apply cod liver oil to promote wound healing; 2. Mucosal type chicken pox in the mouth and throat There are fake membranes and plaques that can interfere with breathing and swallowing, so the farmer must carefully peel it off with a knife. The mucosal wound is coated with iodine glycerol (20 ml of iodine and 80 ml of glycerin). The peeled fake film and rust spots cannot be littered anywhere, and should be burned intensively to avoid spreading the virus. Swelling of the eye of the sick chicken, can also cut the eyelids, squeeze out pus or okara-like substances, then rinse with 2% boric acid or 5% protein silver solution, rinse with 1% potassium permanganate, rub the cod liver oil can.
