Prolapse of the cloaca is a multifactorial problem observed in layersMost of the commercial firms make selection for high egg production in white and brown linesToday most of the commercial lines are excellent lines with a high potential og high productivity for a long time.in the past, some of the prolapse problems observed were more related to the genetic selection, but in the last decade almost ...

in our farm prolapse was the highest causes of mortality but after we change our Ca(Supplement with raw calcium carbonate in feeder) sources the problem was reduced then can you see your Ca source?

Dear Farmer. Prolapse is mainly associated with management of laying hens during rearing and laying period which lead to the following conditions 1. Over or underweight Birds ? Overweight birds are more prone to prolapse due to general muscle weakness and a tendency to lay larger eggs. Too much fat around the reproductive organs can also lead to prolapse. ? Birds that are underweight (according ...

Dear Farmer you please consider all the points mentioned by other participants and also consider the following ones, 1- please deworm your birds if not done so 2- offer green fodder daily to birds;hang the fodder within shed so bird remain busy. 3- if debeaking is not proper then touch the beaks again. 4- Increase nesting space. 5- the site of egg laying should be in dark 6- use liquid parafin in ...

In egg type layers, prolapse is difficult to distinguish from cannibalism which is associated with beak trim length, strain of bird, light intensity, excessive egg size.

Very useful and practical suggestions given by all experienced personalities. I want to add a point that whenever the feed type is changed, the fiber and other levels changes. Particularly in broiler breeder at 6-8 WK and 15-17 WK age during growing period, the feed is changed and subsequently we observe getting cases of prolapse in growing flocks. During laying all points have been covered, I th ...

Prolapse could be triggered by various factors which some of our learned panelists have so clearly indicated.I would only add to these by pointing out a few more. One of them is Vent Gleet or infection of the cloaca which can develop into Prolapse- this happens in isolated cases and not in the form of a flock problem as is the case here. What I have seen being more critical is that certain good br ...
