Causes and Prevention of Pasting Around the Vent in Chicks

Pasting around the vent in chicks is a symptom caused by a variety of stress factors, such as delayed first feeding of chicks, excessive protein content in the feed, low environmental temperature, and illness. Pasting around the vent mainly occurs in the first few days after chicks hatch.

Prevention and control of pasting around the vent in chicks: First, add an appropriate amount of antibiotics to the diet. Second, adding 0.2% to 3% complex enzymes or dried yeast to the diet, especially to diets containing barley or wheat, can effectively reduce the stickiness of the feed and promote the digestion and absorption of food by chicks.
