When the broilers sneeze and wheeze than heal, the veterinarian may say after inspecting the bird. Such symptoms can mean a deadly infection and a common cold with the wrong content. It will be correct to separate the sick individuals, start treatment with improvised drugs and consult a doctor.
Conditions that affect bird health
Broilers are a tender bird and it does not tolerate dampness, drafts, cold in the henhouse. If coughing and coughing at least one chicken, you need to pay attention to the condition of the room. It should be dry, including litter. From the floor should not pull a cold draft.
Heating lamps are placed so that the heat is at the feeder and in the far corner. Change the litter to fresh. In a close room, it is necessary to provide ventilation without drafts.
If the chickens are bought in a large farm, they are already vaccinated against the diseases common in the region. Then, first of all adults will fall ill, and this will be an occasion to vaccinate the livestock.
It is necessary to carefully examine the diseased chicken. Perhaps he just stuck a large foreign body, and it got stuck in the throat.
Doctors talk about wheezing as a sign of disease
One of the reasons why broilers wheeze may be a cold. In this case, during the illness, the temperature in the henhouse should be above 15 C, the litter is dry. The broth of nettle should be given instead of water. In a room, spray Isatizone or its analogs so that the birds breathe. Chilled broilers can sneeze and wheeze, than to treat them, the vet will determine. You can do inhalation for all broilers, using special smoke bombs.
The same symptoms of broilers, if they fell ill with mycoplasmosis. This fungal disease, develops mold in dampness. In the cramped areas, the upturned spores get into the respiratory tract and can hit the entire flock. If mycoplasmosis is detected, antibiotics are used for broiler chickens:
- streptomycin;
- tetracycline series;
- erythromycin;
- lincomycin;
- spiramycin and the like.
Antibiotics are added to feed at the rate of 2 g per 10 kg of feed. If you do not heal the birds, there will be no one to feed for two weeks.
A more serious disease of broilers is colibacillosis, when broilers wheeze. Than to treat the sick bird? If the bird has a dull look, stands for a long time motionless and refuses to eat, it's time to sound an alarm. Only the doctor determines the stamp of the pathogen and prescribes treatment.
The disease is dangerous because it is accompanied by a case, and the remaining individuals lag behind in development, the taste of meat changes. It can not be called dietary, because as a result of using large doses of antibiotics for broiler chickens, residues can be contained in muscle mass. The reason for the spread of the disease veterinarians see in the non-compliance with the conditions of the poultry.
Escherichosis bacteria can enter the poultry house along with a new brood of infected eggs, if hygiene was not observed in the poultry house. What to do and why chickens are broilers that have just hatched, wheeze. Such a brood can be considered doomed. It is necessary to reconsider the content of the breeding stock, to choose a clean material at the time of insertion into the incubator, without traces on the shell.
A symptom of a malaise is sneezing of broilers
Sneezing broiler chickens raises the question of why and what to treat. Incorrect content, cold, dampness, drafts lead to respiratory diseases of chickens. The weakest begin to sneeze first. It is necessary to drink the diseased birds with vitamins. Spout them with powder streptotsidom, rubbing powder in the nostrils. But such treatment will help in the first stage of the disease. Chickens, after sneezing, can develop a fatal bronchitis for them. Therefore, it is better for the young in prophylactic purposes to administer levomycetin and tetracycline (1 tablet per liter of water), Isatin or Lozewal.
Can the chicken of broilers be contagious?
Runny nose among fans of poultry farmers is considered a continuation of catarrhal phenomena and does not treat it. But the common cold can be contagious and halve the livestock in conditions of crowding. After all, it is the bird's nose that climbs into the feeder, transmitting the infection to the entire community. Especially the disease rages late in the autumn and winter for obvious reasons. The disease begins with weakened, lagging, late-hatched chickens. They have weakened immunity.
The symptom of the disease is a dirty beak with crusty crusts on the nostrils. After nasal congestion, the disease develops rapidly. The chicken starts:
- sneeze;
- to yawn;
- tears flow;
- a tumor appears on the eyelids.
The bird refuses to eat and dies. Therefore, broilers with the first signs of a cold should be isolated.
General rules for keeping broilers at the appearance of diseased birds
If during the feeding you noticed a bird with an unusual behavior for the pack, take a closer look. If the feathers are ruffled, the look is slovenly, the posture is dull, it's time to put the broiler in the insulator and watch it. At the same time, analyze the conditions of detention, make sanitary cleaning in the henhouse and consult with a specialist. If the broilers sneeze and wheeze, than to treat, the doctor will determine. You should follow his recommendations to keep the livestock.
