1. What kind of chicken doesn’t get sick?

Chickens in paintings, model chickens, children's toy chickens, and dead chickens will not get sick.

2. How to prevent free-range chickens from getting sick?

There are two types of free-range chickens. One is to raise chickens in the courtyard, usually in small numbers, mainly for personal use. The other is to raise chickens in woodlands, orchards, hills, etc. for profit. Free-range chickens are more likely to be exposed to external pathogens, so they are often prone to diseases. For example, intestinal diseases such as necrotizing enteritis and ulcerative enteritis, chicken histomoniasis (also known as appendicitis or blackhead disease), parasitic diseases, chicken pox, etc. (This article is from the technical column of China Chicken Farming Network-Chicken Disease Professional Network)

To reduce the chance of disease in free-range chickens, the following points should be achieved:

1. Choose a good site. The site should be conducive to epidemic prevention and convenient for transportation. It is advisable to choose a dry, dry and well-drained place. There should be no stagnant ponds, sewage pits, etc. in the chicken activity area, so that the accumulated water on the site can be discharged after rain.

2. Build a chicken coop. A chicken coop of suitable size should be built so that the chickens can rest when it is dark or rainy.

3. Strengthen management. Supplement feed according to the season and site conditions to prevent the chickens from suffering from nutritional deficiencies. Remove the feces in the chicken house in a timely manner and disinfect the chicken house and activity area regularly. When raising chickens in the woods or orchards, prevent the chickens from accidentally ingesting pesticides and being poisoned.

4. Disease prevention. Feed some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs regularly. Deworm the chickens regularly. Routine vaccines should be administered on time and correctly, especially in summer and autumn, and chicken pox prevention should be done in advance.

3. How to prevent chickens from getting sick?

To prevent the occurrence of diseases, disinfect the breeding ground and control the temperature. The following points should be noted when raising chickens in summer:

One is to reduce the stocking density. Chickens are particularly afraid of heat, and the stocking density of chickens should be reduced in time according to the rising temperature.

The second is to change the drinking water frequently. In summer, the water in the chicken feeder is easily heated by the sun. The waterer should be placed in a cool place and the water should be changed frequently. It is best to use pure cool water from underground.

The third is to release the chickens early and pen them late. In summer, the chickens should be released to the playground at daybreak and fed, and then penned after dark to minimize the time the chickens stay in the chicken coop. After the beginning of the dog days, you can also build some wooden racks in the orchard for the chickens to roost, and let the chickens spend the night under the pergola.

Fourth, scientific feeding. In summer, the sunshine time is long, so the feeding frequency should be increased. Feed more in the morning and evening, less at noon, and feed twice a day, with a half-hour interval in between, so as to induce the chickens to increase their appetite.

Fifth, do a good job of epidemic prevention. There are many mosquitoes and flies in summer, which can easily spread diseases. Therefore, we must do a good job of disinfection and epidemic prevention in the chicken house to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

The chicken house should be cleaned once a day and the sand should be frequently placed on the floor. Reduce stress. Chickens are timid and easily frightened, and are very sensitive to changes in the external environment. Therefore, there should be a certain time and sequence for feeding, adding water, picking up eggs, disinfecting, cleaning, and cleaning up feces. Work should be done gently, and strangers and other animals are strictly prohibited from entering the chicken house. You can also add an appropriate amount of multivitamins or other anti-stress drugs to the feed or drinking water to prevent and reduce the losses caused by stress reactions.

4. What medicine should chickens take when they are sick?

(I) When giving medicine to chickens, you need to pay attention to several things

1. Do not administer medicine if the cause of the disease is unknown. Once the chickens are sick, you must find a professional teacher to find out the cause and condition of the disease and prescribe the right medicine.

2. The same type of drug should not be used for a long time. For example, sulfonamides for the treatment of coccidia should not be used continuously for more than 4 days, otherwise it will cause serious damage to the liver and kidneys. After taking the medicine once, liver and kidney protection drugs should be used.

3. Choose the appropriate method of administration

4. Understand the dosage and course of treatment

5. Pay attention to drug incompatibility when using drugs in combination.

(ii) When an infectious disease is suspected in a chicken farm, the cause should be identified and a diagnosis made immediately.

(1) The chicken farm should be tightly sealed, sick chickens should be isolated and a dedicated person should be appointed to manage them. The chicken houses, venues and all utensils should be strictly disinfected, and surrounding chicken farms should be notified to take preventive measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic. If the farm cannot confirm the diagnosis, sick chickens or newly dead chickens should be placed in a tightly sealed container and immediately sent to the relevant departments for inspection and diagnosis.

(2) Take effective measures against different infectious diseases. Regularly carry out epidemic prevention work on the chickens. When infectious diseases such as Newcastle disease, fowl pox, and avian influenza are confirmed, feed relevant drugs to uninfected chickens to avoid causing greater losses.

(III) Firmly establish the view that prevention is more important than treatment. This is the basic principle of disease prevention and control. Vaccines should be used for viral diseases and respiratory diseases. The environment should be disinfected in a timely manner. The environment can be disinfected by spreading quicklime in the breeding area, generally once a week, or by using dilute glutaraldehyde and povidone iodine from Longxiang Animal Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. For the prevention and control of coccidia, deworming and disinfection should be done regularly.
