"What's wrong with the chick sticking its neck and screaming and opening its mouth to breathe? Is there any disease that I have?" I recently saw a farmer asking this question in the breeding herd. It is actually relatively common for chicks to have this symptom, and the following two diseases are most likely to cause this symptom in chicks. Let's take a closer look.
First of all, the chick sticks out its neck and screams and opens its mouth to breathe, possibly suffering from infectious bronchitis. After the chick is infected with the disease, it will have poor spirits, shrinking its head, closing its eyes, drooping wings, loose feathers, being afraid of cold and piling up, runny nose, tears, sneezing, stretching its neck, opening its mouth and panting for breath, and wheezing sound accompanied by breathing, and individual chickens will also have swollen faces. Moreover, if the disease is contracted at the chick stage, it will directly affect the later egg production, resulting in a decrease in egg production quality and egg production rate.
Therefore, we need to strengthen the prevention and treatment of the disease. For chicks infected with infectious bronchitis, we can use: Dukang Swordsman + Asthmatic Swordsman + Doxycycline for treatment.
Secondly, the chick may also be infected with infectious laryngotracheitis. Infectious laryngotracheitis virus in chickens multiplies in the body of chickens, resulting in inflammation and lesions of the respiratory tract, and in severe cases, the death of sick chicks. The symptoms of infectious laryngotracheitis infection in chickens mainly include: dyspnea, wheezing, swelling of the larynx, red eyes, watery eyes, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. When the condition is severe, chickens may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, drooping wings, and neck extension.
For infectious laryngotracheitis in chicks, we can first use the laryngeal vaccine for emergency vaccination, and then use: Qingjie Swordsman + Doxycycline + Wheezing Swordsman, for 4 days, which can have a good therapeutic effect.
The above are two more common diseases and treatment drugs that cause chicks to stretch their necks and scream, and we farmers can learn about them. Follow me and learn the knowledge and technology of poultry farming together!
