Symptoms: Symptoms of red palm disease generally begin to appear within 2-3 days of infection. Initially, the infected birds will slowly lose their appetite and become less energetic. As the disease progresses, the birds will develop red, swollen, and hot paws and feet. This is the classic symptom of red palm disease, hence the name. Other symptoms may include panting, ruffled feathers, and unexplained deaths.

Preventive measures: In order to prevent the spread of chicken red palm disease, farmers can take the following measures:

Regular inspection: Regularly check the health of the chickens, including observing changes in appetite, mental state and claws. Once any abnormality is found, appropriate measures should be taken in time.

Isolate infected chickens: Isolate infected chickens and reduce contact with other healthy chickens to prevent the spread of pathogens.

Improve hygiene: Keep the chicken house clean and hygienic, clean up the dirt in the chicken house regularly, disinfect it regularly, and ensure the hygiene and safety of drinking water and feed.
