Features of chickens

The disease of coccidiosis in broiler chickens is especially dangerous. Pathogens - coccidia, develop and multiply in the intestines of individuals and lead to the death of epithelial cells. As a result, there is a violation of the integrity of the intestinal wall structure, and necrosis occurs.Then there is a violation of peristalsis and absorption, as a result, it causes a shortage of nutrients and leads to hunger edema.

In these conditions, 2-3 days are sufficient for the full maturation of the pathogen. The causes of the appearance of the disease is a change in food, stressful situations. That is why it is important to know how and how to treat coccidiosis in chickens.

The digestibility of nutrients is disturbed, this all leads to hunger edema and the death of broilers.

Sources of infection can become insects, people, tools. Treatment of coccidiosis in broilers should be carried out as quickly as possible.
