Compared with adult chickens, chicks have weak immunity, a large response to environmental stress and an imperfect digestive system, and are very prone to diarrhea. What is the specific reason for chick diarrhea and what kind of medicine is used?
Chick diarrhea can be caused by a variety of reasons, which need to be observed in time and treated accordingly.
1.Eating problems
Chicks may experience loose diarrhea due to poor diet or maladaptation of the digestive system. Because the digestive system of chicks is not well developed, if the feed is not suitable, it may cause diarrhea. Therefore, we should feed the chickens according to their growth stage and needs, and ensure that the feed is clean and free of mildew or contamination.
If the chick has diarrhea due to indigestion, we can supplement the beneficial bacteria, such as using: Changyi Swordsman, to maintain the balance of intestinal flora and relieve the diarrhea symptoms of the chicks.
2.Bacterial or parasitic infections
Chicks can be infected with bacteria or parasites, causing diarrhea. For example, common salmonella, Escherichia coli, and internal parasites (tapeworms, nematodes, roundworms, coccidia, etc.) can cause diarrhea in chicks.
For chick diarrhea caused by bacteria or parasites, we need to choose the agent according to the specific pathogen or parasite type**. For example, for common chick dysentery, we can use: Likang Swordsman + Enrofloxacin**;For intestinal bleeding or damage caused by parasites, we can use: Likang Swordsman, to help repair the intestinal mucosa of chicks and relieve diarrhea symptoms.
3.environment or stress
Factors such as high or low ambient temperature or humidity, frightened chicks, and overcrowding due to too high a feeding density can cause chick diarrhea.
For chick diarrhea caused by environmental stress, the chick will generally return to normal after a few days, but if the chick diarrhea is very severe or lasts for a long time, we need to use: Weikuang Swordsman + Changyi Swordsman to relieve the chick diarrhea caused by stress.
If the chick has diarrhea, we need to observe it in time to see if it has other symptoms, such as loss of appetite, weight loss, poor mental state, etc. If the condition is serious or lasts for a long time, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian in time for an accurate diagnosis and** to avoid serious harm to the health of the chicks.
