(1) Cause: Carbon monoxide poisoning is a toxic disease of poultry caused by inhaling carbon monoxide gas, characterized mainly by systemic tissue hypoxia resulting from the formation of a large amount of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood. Poultry houses often have a history of burning coal for warmth; cracks in the heated kang, a blocked or back-drafting chimney, tightly closed doors and windows, and poor ventilation can all prevent carbon monoxide from being discharged in time, causing poisoning. (2) Disease characteristics: Among the poisoned chickens, difficulty breathing and restlessness are commonly seen, soon progressing to standing motionless or paralysis,

Poultry houses often have a history of burning coal for warmth; cracks in the heated kang, a blocked or back-drafting chimney, tightly closed doors and windows, and poor ventilation can all prevent carbon monoxide from being discharged in time, causing poisoning.

(2) Disease characteristics: Among the poisoned chickens, difficulty breathing and restlessness are commonly seen, soon progressing to standing motionless or paralysis, lethargy, and spasms and convulsions before death. Necropsy shows that the blood in the blood vessels and various organs is bright red.

(3) Prevention and control measures: When coal-fired heating equipment is used in chicken houses and brooding rooms, attention should be paid to ventilation conditions so as to maintain good ventilation and a suitable temperature. As long as you do not become careless, it can be prevented. Once signs of poisoning appear, windows should be opened promptly for ventilation.
