Respiratory diseases in layer chickens are a common problem in layer breeding, especially in winter and spring. There are many factors that cause respiratory problems in layer chickens, such as poor ventilation in chicken coops, excessive concentrations of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and dust, or some disease factors including infectious bronchitis, Newcastle disease, avian influenza and mycoplasma, which can cause respiratory problems in layer chickens, and vaccines with strong immune virulence often cause respiratory problems in layer chickens.
The impact of respiratory problems in layer chickens on layer chickens is related to the causes of respiratory problems: in general, respiratory problems caused by the breeding environment will not cause excessive losses as long as the environment is improved in time; and the respiratory problems caused by epidemics are related to the strength of the virus, the health status of layer chickens and the level of antibodies.
The reserve chicken of the layer chicken has respiratory problems, which lead to growth and development obstruction, weight and uniformity are not up to standard, and the heavy causes the increase of dead Tao; respiratory problems occur during the egg laying period, the quality of eggs decreases, and the heavy leads to a decline in egg production and an increase in dead Tao. For such a common and consequential layer respiratory problem, eucalyptus essential oil is a good choice.
Eucalyptus essential oil, also known as eucalyptus essential oil, the main components are 1.8-eucalyptin, a-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, a-non-lamene, terpene alcohol, piperone and so on. Studies have found that eucalyptus essential oil has bacteriostatic bacteria, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and insect repellent functions, and green, safe, has been widely used in medical, food and daily chemical supplies and other fields.
Eucalyptus essential oil is clinically used to treat respiratory diseases, including sinusitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pneumonia. Eucalyptus essential oil in the respiratory tract: first of all, eucalyptus essential oil has a good bacteriostatic effect, can degrade the bacterial cell wall, destroy cell membranes and membrane proteins, make cell fluid leakage, cytoplasm coagulation, damage to nucleus activity; secondly, eucalyptus essential oil has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, can inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory substances cyclooxidase (dinoprostone synthesis of tachymosin), so that the body inflammatory reaction tumor necrosis factor (tnf-a), pro-inflammatory factor interleukin (il-lβ, Genes and protein expression levels such as il-6) are reduced, thereby exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties and protecting the health of the body; again, eucalyptus essential oil has a mild stimulating effect on the nasal cavity and bronchial mucosa, which promotes mucus secretion, thereby helping to unclog the blocked nasal cavity and bronchi. In addition, eucalyptus oil can also stimulate saliva production and secretion, which immediately activates the swallowing reflex and suppresses coughing.
Layer respiratory disease is an important threat in layer chicken breeding, with the advent of the era of antibiotic invincibility, respiratory problems began to become tricky, not easy to prevent and treat, then, in this case, the use of eucalyptus essential oil to solve the respiratory problems of layer chickens is a good choice, may wish to try.
