HEALTH/DISEASES PREVENTION
Chickens are fragile and can get sick very easily especially when young
There are two major sources of disease.1. Metabolic diseases due to nutrient deficiency
2. Pathogens which can be Bacteria, Virus, Fungi/Protozoan.
Diet if not correctly formulated can result in the bird getting a metabolic disease due to a nutrient deficiency (vitamins or minerals) in the diet
Other diseases are caused by minute organisms called bacteria and viruses. It is often necessary to treat the chicks as soon as they hatch with a vaccine which allows them to resist the disease if it occurs. This is normally done at the hatchery. Newcastle disease is present in many countries and chickens need to be vaccinated more than once.
Remember that “prevention is better than cure!”
Prevention is by far the best and most economical method of disease control. Prevention is mainly achieved by the implementation of effective bio-security and vaccination programs. proper husbandry practices, and an in-depth knowledge of disease management. -
