Poultry Disease Prevention And Treatment

About This Course

This course provides crucial knowledge and practices for maintaining the health and wellness of poultry through effective strategies for disease prevention and treatment. A well-balanced diet for chickens should include approximately 20% protein, essential amino acids for growth, corn for energy, and necessary vitamins, fats, and carbohydrates. Ensuring quality nutrition is vital for building a robust immune system capable of combating infections and diseases. It is important to monitor the quantity of feed according to flock size and feeder capacity to guarantee a steady food supply. Allowing chickens to roam freely reduces stress and improves their overall health by encouraging natural foraging behavior, which aids their digestive systems. Rapid identification and treatment of illnesses, in consultation with a veterinarian, are critical for the survival of affected birds, and isolating sick chickens is essential to protect the rest of the flock.
