When we raise chickens in chicken houses andchicken farm equipment, chickens always have various diseases, and in many types of chicken diseases, chicken respiratory diseases are also a headache for many chicken farmers, especially in winter, chickens.
Respiratory diseases are high, so what are the main causes of chicken respiratory diseases? How to prevent it?

cause:

1. Aquaculture environmental factors

When the ambient temperature drops, the cold-proof measures of the chicken house withpoultry farming equipmentcan’t keep up, which can cause the chickens to feel cold and induce respiratory diseases. The temperature of the house is too low, the humidity is too high, the ventilation is poor, the harmful gas is excessive, the chicken is prone to cough, the tracheal rales and breathing are difficult. In order to keep warm, farmers generally increase the density of breeding, ignoring the ventilation of the house, resulting in air turbidity in the house, lack of oxygen, and harmful gases are seriously exceeded. Excessive density, malnutrition, leading to decreased respiratory mucosal resistance, causing respiratory diseases.

2. Stress factors

Stress response is an important cause of chronic respiratory disease in chickens. The common stress factors are mainly immunization. For example, some farmers are not standardized in vaccination, and the disinfection is not strict, which causes the chickens to develop a stress reaction, which causes the resistance of the flock to decrease, thus causing chronic respiratory infections in chickens, such as Vaccination with bursal vaccine is often followed by chronic respiratory airway inflammation in chickens. In addition, stress factors such as improper disinfection methods, unreasonable immunization procedures, and large changes in daily temperature difference during the breeding process are also the cause of the outbreak of respiratory diseases in the chickens.

3. Improper feeding management

Chicken feed has a single nutrient, unscientific formula, poor sanitation and epidemic prevention conditions, and non-standard treatment of dead chickens. Or the environment of the chicken farm is not good, and the treatment of chicken manure and other irregularities is another important factor that causes respiratory diseases.

Precaution:

1. Strengthen management

Strengthen feeding management, improve the epidemic prevention conditions of chicken houses, and implement strict sanitation and epidemic prevention systems. It is necessary to strengthen the fine management, and to achieve “different water changes, diligent cleaning, diligent disinfection, diligent observation, and diligent recording.” At the same time, maintain good ventilation in the chicken house to avoid sudden cooling and heat to reduce various induced factors.

2. Choose quality chickens
