Coryza Or Colds This morning I got a complaint from my friend that his chicken had a bad cold and of course the chicken looked very weak. This disease can attack all ages and quickly spreads viciously through the air, direct contact with infected chickens, other animals as carriers that come to stop at the cage, and can get through food and drink. Symptom: Chickens look lethargic, weak, short of breath, snoring, coughing and sneezing. The beak and nose are runny, sometimes the eyes are swollen and watery. The cock's comb and wattles are sometimes swollen. Causes, prevention and treatment: The cause of this disease is the bacterium Haemophilus galinarium which is more active in cold and humid weather. Prevention of the attack of this disease is good sanitation by trying to keep the cage dry, warm and protected from wind and rain. Vaccination against this disease already exists and is usually carried out according to recommended dosage; usually once every 3 months when the weather is cold. Chickens should be given antistress vitamins to maintain their body condition. If you see one or two sick chickens, they should be separated from the chickens immediately Sick chickens can be treated with antisnot drugs for 5 consecutive days and can even be injected with antibiotics such as penicillin, streptomycin and so on. If using herbal medicine, you can take turmeric, ginger, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, all ingredients take just enough then puree with a mixer and then boil. After all the ingredients are boiled, mix in the drinking water of the sick chicken, just enough so that the condition of the chicken's body remains warm and the appetite can recover.
