I am a layer stud chicken breeder from Kediri, East Java. My chicken is 60 days old attacked by green poop, every day there is always death, I have given Therapy but not so influential. What medications and treatments are suitable for my chickens ?

Answer:

The green color of green feces comes from the color of chicken bile. Its occurrence can be caused by various causes, namely non-infectious factors such as chickens not eating, or infectious factors (diseases) such as ND, cholera, AI, malaria, “malaria like” and so on.

Green feces can appear as a result of chickens not getting feed. Green feces will begin to appear ± 13 hours after the chickens are fasted (in the digestive tract there is no feed). Chickens will have greenish, slimy diarrhea. Some of the conditions that can be found in this green stool include when the DOC just came to the cage, when the laying hens were forcibly fasted with the aim of rejuvenation (force molting) and when shipping chicken reject / harvest of farm to the chicken slaughter site.

If the cause is because the chicken does not eat then immediately give feed. If forced to do the act of gratification (feed) should not be too long (4-6 hours) and avoid giving excess drinking water when gratification. Excess drinking water will accelerate the emptying of the digestive tract, thereby accelerating the friction of the intestinal surface. As soon as the chicken is fasted give drinking water plus sugar and Strong n Fit as well as provide feed to restore the condition of the body and fill the empty digestive tract. Recommended at the time, given the feed in the form mash or powder to make it easier for the digestive tract to digest.

Green feces caused due to infection are always accompanied by clinical symptoms and changes in the surgical picture of the carcass. So it is advisable not to make a picture of green feces as the main benchmark in diagnosing the disease because it depends on the sensitivity and experience of a person in diagnosing. It needs supporting data from carcass surgical changes and laboratory tests in order to determine the disease, treatment and treatment on target. Green feces due to infection also shows a different texture of each disease, including nd disease will cause green feces Moss is not slimy, as well as changes in the surgical carcass will be found inflammation at the top of the nodules proventriculus, in the heart and fat peyer patches small intestine.

While AI disease causes feces of green color pupus (light green) in the form of paste and slimy, in the carcass surgical changes will be found bleeding in the small intestine, heart fat, esophageal border and proventriculus, as well as decreased egg production and death.

On the disease. “malaria like” , other symptoms that appear are lethargic chickens, anemia, decreased egg production and sometimes accompanied by death. In the carcass Surgery found inflammation of the kidneys, enlarged spleen and the presence of bleeding spots on the organs in the body and chest muscles. And more importantly, found that the spreading vector Culicoides sp. (shape like a big mosquito, sucking blood and wings spotted) around the cage.

If the cause is viral diseases such as ND and AI, then immediately carry out an emergency revaccination of healthy chickens with Medivac ND Clone 45 to stimulate the rapid formation of ND antibodies. Similarly, if the chicken attacked AI by using Medivac AI. The goal is that healthy chickens can immediately form antibodies. The faster antibodies are formed, the less the virus binds to the target cell. Also do a renunciation of sick chickens so as not to transmit the virus to healthy chickens.

If chickens are infected with cholera, carry out treatment using antibiotics, for example, Choleridine, Ampicol, Neo Meditril, etc. As for the case of “malaria like”, chickens can be given Maladex through drinking water. Give the drug according to the rules of Use and dosage for maximum results. Besides thattightness biosecurity and carry out the disinfection of insects around the cage with antiparasitics such as Larvatox. In addition to eliminating fly larvae, Larvatox will also help with stool drying. Give vitamins such as Vita StressVita StrongStrong n Fit or Fortevit to maintain endurance and accelerate the recovery of the body of chickens.
