Clever use of brown sugar in chicken raising: these wonderful uses you should know
After chicks hatch After chicks hatch and are moved from the hatching room to the brooding room, first give them drinking water with 5%-8% brown sugar water plus vitamin C, then start feeding, and continue drinking it for 3 days; this can promote the absorption of egg yolk, reduce disease incidence, and improve feed conversion rate. During long-distance transport of chicks (breeding chickens) ⟦4 <p>After chicks hatch</p><p>After chicks hatch and are moved from the hatching room to the brooding room, first give them drinking water with 5%-8% brown sugar water plus vitamin C, then start feeding, and continue drinking it for 3 days; this can promote the absorption of egg yolk, reduce disease incidence, and improve feed conversion rate.</p><p></p><p>During long-distance transport of chicks (breeding chickens)</p><p>After chicks (breeding chickens) experience long-distance transport by train and plane, they are prone to dehydration, depression, and other adverse conditions. After arriving at the destination, letting them drink 5%-10% brown sugar water can quickly restore their strength, while also improving their defense capacity and reducing mortality. If they are given 5%-10% brown sugar water before long-distance transport and then transported, the adverse conditions caused by long-distance transport can be avoided or reduced.</p><p>During chicken stress</p><p>Moving chickens to another house, beak trimming, and changing feed can lead to poor development, decreased egg production rate and immunity, reduced rearing rate and disease resistance, and increased disease incidence. When moving chickens to another house, trimming beaks, changing feed, and 2-3 days before and after immunization, giving them 10% brown sugar water to drink can prevent the decline in immune function caused by stress, resist stress, regulate body fluid balance, stimulate appetite, supplement nutrition, accelerate chicken recovery, and improve production performance. In cold winter, giving chickens 5%-10% brown sugar water to drink can also help dispel cold, resolve blood stasis, and strengthen the stomach.</p><p>When chicken diseases occur</p><p>When chickens suffer from infectious diseases such as pullorum disease, colibacillosis, and coccidiosis, while using normal medication, giving them 5%-10% brown sugar water to drink for 3-5 consecutive days can form a protective film in the chicken intestine, reduce irritation of toxic substances to the intestinal tract, and reduce mortality. When chickens have kidney swelling or nephritis, using 5%-10% brown sugar water together with auxiliary drugs can effectively eliminate kidney swelling. Brown sugar is also a nonspecific immunomodulator, which can strengthen the chicken body's defense function and works better when combined with antibiotic drugs.</p><p>After chickens are poisoned</p><p>When chickens suffer from gas poisoning, drug poisoning, or feed additive poisoning, immediately stop using the poisonous drugs and additives, and at the same time let them drink 10% brown sugar water for 3-5 days; this can effectively relieve poisoning symptoms and reduce mortality, and the effect is even better when combined with vitamin C.</p><p>It should be noted that brown sugar water should not be drunk for too long, generally no more than 1 week, otherwise it is likely to cause digestive system disorders.</p>
