A farmer raised 1000 Sanhuang chickens, and at 35 days of age, 6 suddenly died. That day, the feed intake of this flock of Sanhuang chickens decreased. After the onset of the disease, slight bloody droppings appeared in the large flock, and over the following 10 days, bloody droppings and pale yellow or light green droppings increased, and the number of deaths increased. Apart from emaciation, the chickens were still in fair spirits. Coccidiostats were used continuously for 3 days to treat cecal coccidiosis, but the effect was not obvious. 1.

A farmer raised 1000 Sanhuang chickens, and at 35 days of age, 6 suddenly died. That day, the feed intake of this flock of Sanhuang chickens decreased. After the onset of the disease, slight bloody droppings appeared in the large flock, and over the following 10 days, bloody droppings and pale yellow or light green droppings increased, and the number of deaths increased. Apart from emaciation, the chickens were still in fair spirits. Coccidiostats were used continuously for 3 days to treat cecal coccidiosis, but the effect was not obvious.

1. Necropsy:

The livers of the dead chickens had characteristic features, being slightly enlarged, with round or irregular, slightly sunken ulcerative lesions on the surface, with a special shape. The ceca were enlarged, and the contents had caseous necrotic cores. Based on clinical experience, the diagnosis was chicken cecal coccidiosis.

2. Treatment process:

1. Metronidazole was prepared as a 0.05% aqueous solution for drinking water, while VK was supplemented, used continuously for 5 days. The above symptoms were brought under control, and there were no deaths.

3. Summary: In recent years, among free-range farmers, this disease has occurred sporadically, and because farmers did not pay much attention to it, economic losses were relatively serious, @#@230@#@ and enthusiasm declined. I put forward three suggestions regarding this phenomenon.

1. During the rearing of Sanhuang chickens, strengthen cleaning and hygiene management, do routine disinfection well, and at the same time regularly use anthelmintics such as levamisole to expel other nematodes and parasitic diseases.

2. During the rearing of Sanhuang chickens, use raised net flooring or cage rearing, frequently clean chicken manure and compost more.

3. Treat disease early.
