In the process of breeding and production, the small pieces of wet material in the trough will touch the crop of the spitting chicken,whether it is pigeon, quail, broiler breeding or laying hen breeding, some chickens in the flock will spit water into the trough.It is soft, filled with a lot of liquid, and when you lift the chicken thigh upside down, a mucous liquid will flow from your mouth. There was no obvious abnormality in the mental state, growth and production performance of the chickens.
This kind of vomiting of chickens is obviously not a normal phenomenon, so what is the reason for the chickens to vomit? How to prevent it?
Analysis and Prevention of Chicken Spitting
1. Candidiasis (commonly known as bursitis)
It is a fungal disease of the upper digestive tract caused by Candida albicans. Chickens with crop inflammation will gradually reduce or not increase their feed intake, have difficulty swallowing, and be thin.
Anatomy mainly forms a white pseudomembrane in the crop, the color of the crop becomes lighter, and the inner wall of the crop is inflammatory and infected, causing the mucus to spit out , The onset rate is slow, and the growth and production performance of the flock will not appear immediately, so it is generally not easy to be found by breeders.
2. Mycotoxins poisoning
Mainly vomitoxin, when vomitoxin poisoning is manifested as vomiting water, diarrhea, substandard feeding, the color of spit water is generally light brown, the anatomical crop, adenomyosis has dark brown contents, and severe gastric cuticle ulcers , Glandular enlargement, mucosal erosion.
3. Eat rancid feed
The chickens ate the rancid feed, which was abnormally fermented in the crop, producing acid and gas, causing the crop to be full, and the sour viscous liquid flowed out of the mouth when the chickens bowed their heads.
4. Newcastle disease
Since Newcastle disease can cause fever in chickens, the amount of water they drink will increase. However, the spit caused by Newcastle disease is often a relatively viscous liquid, that is, when the chicken is lifted upside down, mucus will drip from the chicken’s mouth. Especially in the later stage of feeding, the early signs of Newcastle disease, he would spit acid water and pull green feces at the same time.
5. Gastroenteritis
There are many types of glandular gastritis, and there will be many symptoms. Today, I will only tell you which glandular stomach symptoms will cause severe vomiting. The onset is most obvious after 20 days.
The food intake does not increase or does not meet the standard for several consecutive days, and the drinking water increases. It is not obvious, the phenomenon of overfeeding occurs, the feathers are black, the crop is full of liquid, no material, the anatomical crop has serious water accumulation, the glandular stomach is swollen like a gizzard, and a large amount of feed is stored in the glandular stomach, which is loose and inelastic, and the intestinal wall becomes deformed. Thin, brittle, not many dead, chickens with this symptom spit water and are very serious.
6. Intestinal coccidiosis, Clostridium and other mixed feelings
Causes swelling of the intestinal wall, causing local inflammation and infection, internal heat, pain, the chicken needs to drink water, but the water is blocked from going down, a large amount of mucus and water are mixed in the crop and accumulated, refluxed, and discharged through the mouth, and the absorption function of the chicken changes after eating. Poor, this can be seen through the feces, a large number of undigested feed particles, and the color of the feces is yellow. Generally, in this case, the proportion of chickens spitting water is not high, and there will be sporadic diseases one after another.
7. Heat stress
This cause is mainly onset in summer. Due to the hot weather in summer, the chickens drink more water, and then the phenomenon of spitting water will occur. Chicken spitting is obvious. This cause is mainly relieved by cooling.
8. The temperature in the house is high, the density is high, and the ventilation is small.
A large number of clinical practice shows that chickens of the same age will have different water spitting phenomenon due to the high density of the chicken house and different ventilation.
9. Nervous palsy
There are many laying hens, all of which are more than 150 days old. The appearance of crop cysts is swollen, the degree of vomiting is mild, and other symptoms are not obvious.
To sum up, there are many reasons why chickens spit water, and the symptoms of different reasons are also different. Friends of chicken farmers can diagnose the cause of chicken spitting according to the symptoms of the chicken, and start from the aspects of management and disease, so as to correctly prevent and treat.
