The symptoms of chickens panting with their mouths open are common in chicken farming and are often encountered by farmers. But many farmers don't know what causes this symptom in their flock. Next, I will give you a detailed analysis of the causes of chickens panting with their mouths open and the measures to prevent respiratory tract infections in chickens for your reference.
1. Prevention and control measures
1. Timely medication
For respiratory tract infections in chickens, we can use: doxycycline + wheezing swordsman + masheng swordsman for treatment, and at the same time, with cod liver swordsman, it is conducive to helping the respiratory mucosa recover and can effectively alleviate respiratory symptoms.
2. Chicken seedlings are vaccinated and immunized
Choose eggs that are free of disease infection to hatch chicks and ensure the health of the chicks. At the same time, do a good job in the immunization of chicks to prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases.
3. Strengthen feeding management
Strengthen daily feeding management, keep the chicken house clean and dry, and well ventilated. Clean up the manure and debris in the chicken house regularly to reduce the breeding of harmful gases and germs.
4. Reduce stress factors
Stress is an important factor in the induction of respiratory diseases, including environmental stress (such as high temperature, cold, noise, etc.), management stress (such as density, capture, transportation, etc.). The occurrence of these stressors should be minimized to keep the living environment of the flock stable. In addition, regularly replenishing the flock: the Mine Swordsman, can reduce the harm caused by stress.
2. Reasons
1. Heat stress
Chickens are susceptible to heat stress in a high-temperature environment and exhibit symptoms such as panting, opening their mouths, etc. This is because chickens increase heat dissipation by opening their mouths to pant for air in order to lower their body temperature.
2. Respiratory tract infection
Respiratory tract infections are the most important cause of gasping for air in chickens. In the case of a dirty chicken house environment, chickens are particularly susceptible to bacteria, viruses, etc., such as colds, flu, infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis and other diseases will cause respiratory tract infections in chickens, making them show symptoms of panting with their mouths open.
3. The feeding environment is not suitable
The farm is dirty, poorly ventilated, and the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia in the house is also easy to affect the breathing of chickens and cause respiratory tract infections.
By taking the above measures, we can effectively prevent and treat the respiratory problems of chickens, reduce the phenomenon of chickens opening their mouths to gasp, and improve the health level and production efficiency of chickens.
