2. Analysis of common causes of bleeding in chickens
According to the latest data from the Poultry Disease Research Institute of China Agricultural University, the causes of bloody stools in chickens mainly fall into the following six categories:
| Cause type | Proportion | Typical symptoms | High incidence age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coccidiosis | 42% | ketchup-like stool | 15-45 days old |

| Others | 3% | mixed symptoms | - |
3. Recent high-incidence cases: key points for prevention and control of coccidiosis
Monitoring data in July shows that the incidence of coccidiosis in East China increased by 37% month-on-month. Special attention is required:
1.Transmission route:It is mainly transmitted through contaminated feed and drinking water. Humid environment accelerates oocyst development.
2.Typical symptoms:The sick chicken is depressed, has disheveled feathers, and has dark red feces with mucus.
3.Treatment options:
| drug type | Representative medicine | Usage and dosage | Course of treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulfonamides | Sulfaquinoxaline | 0.1% mix | 3-5 days |
| Ionophores | maduramycin | 5ppm ingredients | continuous use |
| Chinese medicine preparations | Artemisia annua powder | 0.5g/kg body weight | 5-7 days |
4. The recent focus of farmers
1.Precautions:Keep the litter dry (humidity <25%), disinfect regularly (twice a week), and implement an all-in, all-out system
2.Nutritional management:Adding vitamin K (10g per ton of feed) can enhance coagulation function
3.Differential diagnosis:It is recommended to do a stool microscopy (the diagnosis can be confirmed by detecting oocysts) to distinguish it from ulcerative colitis and other diseases.
5. Special reminder from experts
1. The recent high temperature weather has led to an increase in drinking water. Pay special attention to water line hygiene. It is recommended to flush twice a day.
2. It is forbidden to use moldy feed, as moldy feed will aggravate intestinal damage.
3. Electrolytes (glucose + sodium chloride) should be supplemented during treatment to prevent dehydration
4. After the same batch of sick chickens are cured, it is recommended to give Newcastle disease vaccine after an interval of 15 days.
Through the above system analysis, we hope to help farmers accurately determine the cause of chickens bleeding and take targeted measures. If symptoms persist for more than 3 days or the mortality rate exceeds 5%, you should contact the local veterinary department for treatment in time.
