Why doesn’t medication work when your chickens are sick?

During the breeding process, chicken health issues have attracted much attention. However, sometimes we will find that the chicken is sick but does not get better after taking medicine, or it has just recovered and becomes sick again. The chicken is over and over again, procrastinating, and the cost of medicine remains high. Why is this? Today, we will reveal the reasons.

1. Diagnosis errors

There are many types of chicken diseases with similar symptoms. If the diagnosis is not accurate, the medication will naturally be ineffective. Just relying on yourself to judge the disease, lack of experience and medication errors will not only increase the cost of medication but also fail to achieve good curative effect. To ensure the accuracy of diagnosis, you need to consult a professional technical teacher.

2. Improper use of medication

Factors such as drug selection, dosage, route of administration, and duration of treatment can all affect efficacy. Choosing targeted drugs and following the dosage and duration of treatment recommended by your veterinarian are the keys to ensuring efficacy.

3. Virus mutation

Viral diseases are prone to mutation. After the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, the syndromes are different at different stages of disease, resulting in the ineffectiveness of the original drugs. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the syndrome characteristics at different stages of onset and adopt targeted prevention and treatment strategies.

4. Complications

Chicken diseases are often accompanied by complications and are difficult to cure with single drug treatment. In response to this situation, a comprehensive treatment plan and synergistic medication are needed to improve the efficacy. Take intestinal problems. Some people only treat diarrhea and treat intestinal problems, ignoring complications. What if there is a problem with the adenomyotic stomach? If you keep cutting, it will become messy.

5. Drug quality issues

The quality of some drugs on the market varies. When purchasing, you should choose regular channels to ensure the quality of the drugs.

6. Poor feeding and management

Factors such as poor breeding environment, malnutrition, and excessive density may cause chickens to have reduced resistance and become susceptible to illness. Improving feeding management and improving chicken resistance are important measures to prevent diseases.

7. Drug sensitivity

The same batch of chickens get sick with the same symptoms, and if the same medicine is used, one batch of chickens may be cured, but another batch is still not. It may not be a bad medicine, but a problem of drug resistance and sensitivity. Therefore, it is recommended that chicken farms conduct drug susceptibility testing.

To sum up, there are various reasons why medicines for chicken diseases are ineffective. To solve this problem, it is necessary to analyze and improve it from many aspects. Farmers must continue to learn, improve their own veterinary knowledge, and do a good job in feeding and management to ensure the health of their chickens. At the same time, we must also pay attention to industry trends and actively respond to disease challenges to ensure that chicken diseases are diagnosed and treated promptly and accurately.
