Korep or ringworm is still much discussed among chicken hobbyists, especially during the rainy season like today. Korep is a fungal infectious disease of the skin that is quite a concern because it can affect the performance of chickens. The most common types of fungi found in fungal infections of the skin are Microsporum gallinae<\/em>. It can also be caused by Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton megnini, Trichophyton simii, Epidermophyton<\/em> sp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korep Disease Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The appearance of clinical symptoms of korep disease will appear white crusty sores on the skin that is not hairy. It can also extend to parts of the skin that are not hairless and around the base of the hair follicle. In severe cases chickens can feel itchy and even lose feathers with hyperkeratosis or thickened skin conditions. The most common cases found in fighting chickens are fungal infections of the comb and face. If not treated immediately, the fungus that causes korep very quickly spread to other areas of the skin and can cause hair loss. The skin around the area of hair loss will appear dry, scaly and thickened. Hair loss generally occurs on the top of the head. But it can also extend to the neck and wings. Where feathers have a very important role in chicken performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some hobbyists complain that if a chicken gets a fungal infection, it can be transmitted to other chickens. Hobbyists also complain that if chickens are infected with fungi, they will easily relapse or become infected again. Please note that fungal infections can be transmitted between chickens through direct or indirect contact such as through equipment. It is important to note that equipment and cages can act as a transmission medium. If the chicken is affected by a fungal infection, the treatment carried out must be completed. These two things are what must be watched out for so that fungal diseases do not easily recur. In the treatment of this disease, in addition to complete treatment, it is also important to decontaminate or suppress fungal contamination in the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
