Poultry diseases
When chickens are healthy they consume less feed and produce more quality eggs. They are less trouble to look after and less money is spent on medical costs. Poultry disease can spread rapidly among chickens because they are usually kept together in the chicken house. The chickens share the same feeders and drinkers, which can spread disease and infections rapidly from sick to healthy chickens. In intensive egg production systems, much focus is placed on the egg laying performance of the flock. Poultry diseases can negatively affect the health and performance of your flock. Important and common poultry diseases include necrotic enteritis, chronic respiratory diseases, gangrenous dermatitis, fowl cholera, and avian influenza.

I faced on a flock that its production stopped about 65% production rate after molting (for about 3 weeks in this percentage). Birds breed are LSL, their first cycle performance was good (more than 90% till 52 weeks of age, FCR about 2.1 till 70 weeks, mortality rate is normal). Molting lasted about 2 months and it was done at 85 weeks of age (because of management decision). Now the flock seems normal in terms of health (we checked ND, AI H9N2 serology). No symptoms are seen. Conditional...

This causes great economic losses to them. Mostly I use sulfaquinoxaline or toltrazuril salt in water and clopidol in feed to control and treat coccidiosis but sometimes...
