During chicken rearing, in addition to selecting good chicks and feed and following scientific, standardized husbandry practices, disinfection is an effective measure for preventing chicken coccidiosis.
1, disinfect poultry houses, feeding utensils, and equipment by sprinkling or spraying with 20% limewater, 30% wood ash water, or Baidu Sha disinfectant (diluted with water according to the instructions). Maintain suitable temperature, humidity, and stocking density.
2, during the season when this disease is prevalent, provide vitamin A and vitamin K to enhance the body's immune capacity and increase antibody levels.
3, during the chick stage, anticoccidial drugs may be mixed into feed at the optimal dose and fed for 3-5 days.
4, when coccidiosis breaks out in a flock, the following drugs are commonly used for treatment.
(1) Robenidine is a broad-spectrum anticoccidial drug with high efficacy, mild toxic and side effects, and good palatability. It can be effective when other anticoccidial drugs fail. Mix 3-5 grams into every 100 kilograms of feed and use for 3-5 consecutive days.
Add 1.5 grams of robenidine, 20 milliliters of propylene glycol, and 80-00 milliliters of Tween, then heat to 70°C until dissolved to prepare an aqueous solution with a concentration of 30 ppm for the flock to drink. Long-term use may cause an off-flavor in chicken meat (eggs).
(2)10% salinomycin sodium. Mix 5-7 grams into every 100 kg of feed and feed for 3-5 days.
(3) Sulfadimethoxine. Mix 50 grams of the medicine into every 100 kg of feed. Use for 3 days, stop for 3 days, then use again for 3 days (halve the preventive dose).
(4) Penicillin, at 2-3 ten thousand units per kg of body weight, mixed with 0.2 mg of Vk3 injection and administered by intramuscular injection, 1 times daily for 3 days.
(5) 30% sulfachloropyrazine sodium powder (water-soluble). A broad-spectrum, highly effective anticoccidial drug with significant therapeutic effects against various coccidia. For treatment, administer in drinking water at 1 grams per kg of chicken for 3 days. For prevention or general treatment, add 1 grams per kg of water and allow free access to it; in cases of severe infection, mix 2-3 grams of powder per kg of water and administer in drinking water. Alternatively, mix 25-30 grams of the medicine into every 100 kg of feed and feed.
(6) Sodium sulfate adjunct therapy. This method is suitable for the late stage of small intestinal coccidiosis, when the intestinal lumen is filled with pus and blood. It is superior to treatment with anticoccidial drugs alone. Directions: For every 1000 chickens, administer 500 grams of sodium sulfate in drinking water for 3-5 days. In severe cases, it may be administered orally by gavage 2 times. The aim is to rapidly expel the pus and blood from the intestines, allowing the medication to be fully absorbed and exert its therapeutic effect.
