Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have got a bird that seems to be suffering from cocci. The bird sleep off with head drop on the chest.

What is the best cocci drug I should get.

Noted..... I ve lost one already to the same symptoms

Help4rmme2u:

I said maxicocc,, use in their water every time u refill for 5 days..



Mean while, I noticed my birds are sneezing and coughing,, I mean almost all.. What's the problem I don't want to loose my birds its going to the 7th week already..

obstead200:
it is that ventilation issue they toldare u about. Ur poultry pen construction is wrong for use in the tropics. The birds have no choice but to breath in all that ammonia. Open up the pen. Remove those planks ASAP

obstead200:
how old are ur birds? Most diseases have the symptoms u mentioned

Help4rmme2u:
Hello fam, I need help ASAP!!! One of my birds(broiler) seems to be sick. With it's head moving front and back and it looks like it lost balance... Pooo seems to have a red colour too... What's the way foward?

omonikiba:


Nice.

I get mine from two weeks old and not more than 20. My own safeguards has been giving them garlic second day of buying them, and depending on weather i give panadol when it cold. It drive cold away from them immediately. I also give bitter leaf, vitamin c, and ugu leaf. Vitamin c makes them eat like anything and ugu makes them big.

I raised cockerel in two months with this method. Even the seller dint believe it.

Let me also add, the most recent i got were very fragile, some couldnt even stand well. I bought calcium, ground it and add to their food, i did that twice and the result was superb. They fly like anythings now in their cage.

Also, when its very hot, i give them cold water. I take block from freezer atimes and add to their water.

Help4rmme2u:

Thank you Sir, but the drinkers I bought cannot be suspended. What should I do?

oluwasemipe:
brother,have you given them LASOTA?if you haven't given them go and give because that is the symptoms for NEWCASTLE DISEASE.good luck

doctorexcel:


THE BIRDS ARE 4WKS OLD

oluwasemipe:
.madam when you have large number of birds giving them ugwu,panadol might not help coz you dealing with large number of birds

obstead200:
u are so correct bro. All these kinds of things I read here......ugu, garlic, ginger, mornings, organic poultry farming.........bla bla bla are not for commercial farmers farming for profit. How on earth can u administer garlic to 500 birds and expect to make profit? Or how many tablets of septrin or Panadol can u put in their water? How many heads of ugh will they consume?

doctorexcel:


no i only give them viramix. Will get the lasota by monday. I pray it is not too late. Thanks bro

Let's not be hasty here please...He didn't say nervous breakdown..if it was to be Newcastle..I am sure he'd have seen birds twisting and sprawling by now...Please treat coccidiosis abeg...Make una dey find mentor abeg...Poultry business is serious business..Dont wait until your birds are down before you find help..Get a good coccidiosis drug....
I recommend Five anticoccid from five vet
Obatylodox
Embarzine forte..
Make sure you combine with viramax or gumbocine

oluwasemipe:
@Oluwakayode,it is not a matter of been hasty,there are Vaccination and drug programs you follow when you are raising birds.but when you are not following the program you should know that you are on your own and anything that happens you should bear the consequences.at day 7,lasota should be given to the birds,day 9, you vaccinate with gumboro, you will repeat the process at day 14 and 18 respectively after which you now give them coccidiostat every two weeks coz of coccidiosis.with this,you won't have any cause to panic.thanks

does it mean that cockerels suffer cocci more than other birds. I raised black layers , they are not susceptible to cocci. and am even crossing it with cockerel because of the trait.

oluwakayode25:

yea, am taken them to hatchery. I took four broiler crossed with cockerel and the four came out healthy chicks.

Cockerel at tender age have little or no flesh on, cocci will hit it hard at that stage if allowed...I once had a cocci break out...I had 8 broilers and 51 cockerel in my pen at that moment at about 4 weeks of age.. cocci took 4 broilers and about 43 cockerel..I was just picking their carcasses like they were hit by IBD...Btw with yoir experiment, are you taking the eggs to the hatchery?

oluwakayode25:


This is standard of course, but the point is you don't vaccinate a sick bird, never!!!,,You help them improve on antibiotics and other medications before you now vaccinate, vaccinating sick birds is like severing one's head off because of head ache...I understand you very well, I am a young farmer but these are things I 've learnt and seen in my young career.
Giving lasota to birds already down with Newcastle is like killing them on purpose...you boots broken down immune system first and then lasota can come in later when the birds begin to respond to the antibiotics..My 2 cents.

oluwasemipe:
i am not saying he should vaccinate sick birds,my point is, had it been he gave them all the required drugs and vaccines and there is enough ventilation in his pen he wouldn't have had all this issues.but the Op also need to tell us what he observed about his birds.

jfkenny:

jfkenny:
a layer doc should be less than 80 from my calculation. if these broiler crossed with cockerel turns out good i will also ditch broiler. imagine buying 1 broiler DOC at above 250..

Cassie74:


Where do noilers fit in in all this... Tot they are a cross breed between broilers and Cockerel?

oluwakayode25:


True this...I agree...Even after administering lasota..birds still break down with Newcastle..how much more when you don't administer vaccines at all, if hygiene was 100% top notch, but how can you match that,,
