Most often laying hens are subject to such diseases as koktsidioz, askoridoz and tuberculosis. Bad leaving and the wrong feeding is the most common reasons of problems with health of feathery pets.
Koktsidioz
Activators of a koktsidioz it is considered to be the simplest parasites of koktsidiya which in the nature there are 9 types. Distributors of this disease are rats, mice and also wild and poultry. Infection of hens occurs at the use by them in food of a forage in which the parasite lives.
That the bird is infected koktsidiozy it is possible to judge by her behavior. Sick birds, as a rule, move with the lowered wings, eat very little and constantly are in search of the solar place. Having found such place, hens, having ruffled up, are there for all day. This disease progresses rather slowly, however, if not to treat birds, eventually it can lead to full paralysis of wings and paws.
The most effective medicines for treatment of a koktsidioz are "koktsidovit", "аватек" and "сакокс". Proceeding from the fact that these medicines are most effective in combination with antibiotics treatment of hens should be made only under observation of the experienced veterinarian. To save birds from a koktsidioz, first of all it is necessary to take care of purity of the hen house and also stock, drinking bowls and fodder tanks. It is important to watch that on a farmstead there were no rodents as these animals are the main carriers of an infection.
Askoridoz
Askoridoz is most often widespread among chickens or young hens. A distributor of a disease is the large parasite nematode who after hit in an organism feathery with a forage settles in his intestines. Symptoms of an askoridoz – a loss of appetite, emergence of slackness in movements, significant delay of growth. The hens infected with this disease, as a rule, rush very seldom. Askoridoz at chickens is treated by piperazin solution - 0.25 g on water liter, for an adult bird – 0.5 g on the same amount of water. The best prevention of a disease – the maintenance of the hen house, drinking bowls and feeding troughs in purity.
Tuberculosis
Unlike a koktsidioz and an askoridoz, tuberculosis is almost incurable disease which is very difficult for diagnosing at early stages. At emergence of the main signs of the desease (damages of skin and mucous a mouth and also development of tumors on joints), the disease does not respond to treatment any more. Tuberculosis is dangerous also to people therefore sick feathery should be hammered immediately, and to burn a corpse. It is impossible to apply in food meat of the chicken who got sick with tuberculosis at all.
