How to treat chicken worms?

Coccidia is a parasite that can spread throughout the chicken house and affect the health of the chickens. Once an infestation is discovered, it is important to take prompt action to treat it. Below is a detailed introduction to the treatment and prevention measures for Coccidia infestation.

1. Symptoms of worms in chickens

First of all, knowing the symptoms of chicken worms is crucial for timely treatment. Chickens infected with chicken worms will show some of the following symptoms:

  • Diarrhea: Gallus gallus parasites can cause chicken feces to be sticky and mixed with mucus or blood.
  • Loss of appetite: Chicken parasites can affect the gastrointestinal function of chickens, causing them to lose appetite or stop eating.
  • Weight loss: Affected by the parasite, the growth rate of chickens will be significantly slowed down and their weight will be reduced.
  • Rough and matted feathers: Parasites of Gallus gallus domesticus will reduce the quality of chicken feathers, making the feathers rough and matted, and there may be patchy hair loss.

2. Treatment of parasites in chickens

The following treatments can be used to treat chicken parasites:

  • Drug treatment: Chickens infected with chrysopus can be treated by injecting antigens or taking oral drugs. Commonly used drugs include nitroimidazole drugs and anti-chrysopus drugs. During the treatment process, attention should be paid to the dosage and timing of the drug, and the veterinarian's advice should be followed.
  • Sanitary environment: Regularly cleaning the chicken coop and promptly replacing the stocking materials and bedding in the chicken coop can effectively reduce the breeding and spread of chicken parasites.
  • Healthy breeding: Keep the chicken house dry and ventilated, avoid drinking water contamination, conduct regular health checks on chickens, and strengthen feeding management to help prevent parasites in chickens.

3. Preventive measures to avoid reinfection

In order to avoid the recurrence of chicken parasites, the following preventive measures need to be taken:

  • Hygiene management: Keep the chicken house clean and sanitary, clean the chicken house regularly, and disinfect equipment and drinking water facilities.
  • Feed management: Keep the feed fresh and dry to prevent it from getting damp and moldy.
  • Take quarantine measures: separate new chickens from chickens that have been infected with the disease to prevent infection.
  • Regular veterinary checks: Ask a veterinarian to perform regular health checks on your chickens to detect and treat parasites in a timely manner.

In summary, the treatment of parasites in chickens includes drug treatment, improvement of sanitary environment and healthy feeding. In the daily feeding process, it is also important to strengthen hygiene management and preventive measures. Keeping the chicken house clean, the feed dry, isolating new chickens and regularly asking veterinarians for inspection can help prevent and control the occurrence of parasites in chickens.
