Hello everyone, I am Mr. Xue who focuses on poultry farming. Coccidiosis is a common protozoal disease in chickens, which is widely distributed and occurs widely, and is the most harmful to chicks. The disease mainly occurs in chicks under 3 months of age, especially chicks within 15-45 days of age are the most susceptible, and chicks under 11 days of age rarely develop coccidiosis, which may be due to the immunity brought by eggs.
In addition to being age-related, the occurrence of this disease is also closely related to its feeding environment. When the feeding density is too high, damp and hot, the bedding is damp, the ventilation is poor, the lack of vitamin A and vitamin K in the feed, and the poor sanitary conditions, it is easy to cause the occurrence of coccidiosis.
Clinical symptoms of coccidiosis: the sick chicken is weak, mentally ill, loose feathers, sagging wings, like crowded together, eyes are closed, like dozing. Diarrhea is often present, and bloody stools are excreted, and even blood in the stool. Cockscombs are pale and anemic. Most chickens die within 6-10 days of onset. The mortality rate of chicks is more than 50%; a small number of sick chickens endure immortality, but their growth and development are seriously hindered.
Autopsy symptoms:
1. Coccidiosis cecal: the two branches of the cecum are significantly enlarged, can be 3-5 times normal, the appearance is purple or purple-black, the intestinal lumen is filled with coagulated or fresh dark red blood, the cecum epithelium becomes thicker, there is serious erosion, the sauce red liquid flows out after rupture, and the muscles are white.
2. Small intestinal coccidiosis: mainly see intestinal wall dilation, thickening, there is serious necrosis. At the site of the breeding body, there are obvious pale white spots, and there are many small bleeding spots on the intestinal mucosa. There is coagulated blood or carrot-colored jelly-like contents in the intestinal tubes.

Coccidiosis is a common disease in chickens, and wherever there is a chicken, there will be coccidiosis. In addition to direct economic losses such as chicken deaths, the occurrence of this disease can also lead to lower feed remuneration and secondary diseases. Therefore, how to formulate effective prevention and control measures and what should be paid attention to in peacetime has always been a problem that breeders and avian disease prevention and control workers pay attention to and discuss. According to our practice for many years, combined with the needs of the prevention and control of coccidiosis, we should pay attention to the following points.
1. Most anticoccidia drugs mainly inhibit the asexual reproductive stage of endophytic development of coccidiosis, so it is necessary to administer drugs early in production practice to actively prevent the occurrence of the disease.
2. If you use sulfonamide anticoccidiosis to prevent and control coccidiosis, you should not only pay attention to early medication, but also pay attention to the foot treatment course according to the instructions for use, generally 3-5 days. If the drug is only administered for 1-2 days, the drug is stopped when the effect is seen, which not only does not achieve the purpose of complete treatment, but will lead to the emergence of drug-resistant worm columns and affect the treatment effect of coccidiosis in the future. The same is true with the use of other coccidiosis drugs.
3. Chickens have decreased appetite when coccidiosis occurs, or even completely abolished, but the desire to drink is enhanced, so it is best to choose water-soluble anticoccidiosis drugs when treating coccidiosis, and administer drugs through drinking water.
4. While using drugs to control coccidiosis, there must be good environmental hygiene. Keeping the ground dry, timely removal of feces and replacement of damp feed, regular disinfection, reduction and killing of coccidiosis oocysts in the chicken coop environment and preventing their spore development are of great significance for reducing the incidence of coccidiosis.
Today, Teacher Xue recommended a "white ball diarrhea kang", chinese medicine adds changshanone, white head ong extract, effective and does not hurt the kidneys. Compatibility with the addition of intestinal mucosal repair agents and hemostatic sensitivity, both symptoms and root causes. The treatment of coccidiosis cecal coccidiosis can also treat small intestinal coccidiosis, control blood and stool for 12 hours, and rapidly reduce mortality.
Today's sharing ends here, I hope the article is helpful to your breeding, if you encounter problems in aquaculture, you can (add Teacher Xue, give you breeding help, make money worry-free) Pay attention to Teacher Xue, update the breeding technology every day, disease diagnosis and treatment programs, welcome to comment in the comment area to discuss, forward, collect, and make progress together.
