How to treat chicks catching a cold?

Colds are common in chickens, especially in sheds. If chickens are not properly ventilated, they are more likely to catch a cold. Winter is the season when chickens catch colds frequently, so farms should pay attention to the occurrence of chicken colds!

Pay attention to cold protection and warmth in daily management. The low temperature in winter is not conducive to raising chickens. Therefore, measures should be taken to prevent cold and keep the indoor temperature not lower than 3°C. Appropriately increase the stocking density, use coal stove pipes to deliver heat, repair the doors, windows and roof of the chicken house, paint and caulk the walls, prevent rain leakage and wind from entering the house, and close the doors and windows in strong winds and cold weather.

Feeding and management: Supplement light in the morning and evening, keep the light time 14-17 hours, install a 40-watt incandescent lamp with a reflector 2 meters above the ground for every 4 square meters of chicken house; appropriately increase the protein and energy level in the feed, increase the ratio of corn, fish meal, cake meal and fine bran; keep the environment quiet. Pay attention to drinking water, preferably warm water, add vitamins E, C and sugar multivitamin to the water. You can also add baking soda to the feed, 5% to 6% for laying hens and 0.5% to 0.8% for broilers.

treat:

Toad venom antibody (intramuscular injection, therapeutic dose: 0.5-1ml/kg) + concanavalin (200 catties/set) + tilmicosin (double the dose as instructed) + dimethoate (4-8 sticks), intramuscular injection, once a day, one injection for large groups of chickens is enough, and individual chickens with serious diseases can be picked out and injected again the next day.

Precautions:

First, we need to achieve full entry and full exit and conduct regular disinfection. For chicks, we use ofloxacin plus polysaccharide drinking water, and for adult chickens, we add drugs such as Baidusai and 3% bleaching powder to drinking water once a week. Spray quicklime powder on the floor of the chicken house, or disinfect it with 3% caustic soda solution first, and then disinfect it with 1:25 of Bacteriocides one day later, once a week.

Second, clean and disinfect the house frequently 3 to 5 times during the empty period, and pile up the chicken manure for fermentation.

Third, observe regularly and treat sick chickens in time. Fourth, follow the procedures to prevent diseases. In particular, vaccines for infectious diseases such as avian influenza, Newcastle disease, and infectious bronchitis should be injected. 0.1% of Baiqiuxiao and other drugs should be added to the feed to prevent coccidiosis.

Chicks with a cold generally become listless and do not eat. You can raise the room temperature appropriately, place the chicks close to the heat source to prevent them from gathering together due to fear of cold, use electrolyte multi-dimensional drinking water to relieve stress, and appropriately add some anti-viral and anti-cold drugs, such as Qingwen Jiedu oral liquid, Venus 6000, etc., which can relieve the cold of chicks. The temperature has a great influence on the growth and development of chicks, so the brooding temperature must be strictly controlled.

The temperature should be high in the early stage of brooding, and the brooding temperature for weak chicks should be slightly higher. Brooding humidity: The humidity in the brooding room should be maintained at 65-70%.

Maintain normal ventilation: When ventilating, be careful to prevent the chicks from catching a cold. It is required to increase the room temperature of the brooding room before ventilation. The best time for ventilation is around noon, and ventilation should be carried out slowly.

Chick immunization: Pay special attention to immunization. Observe the reasons for the decrease in feed intake, increase in water intake, and weight loss of chicks. How to prevent and treat. Use Daronghuacaoxinke for chickens with cold, fever and runny nose. It can control death in two days and completely cure the flu symptoms in three to four days.
