How to prevent chickpeas
Recently, sporadic cases of chickpea (fowl pox) have appeared in some farms, causing farmers to pay attention. Chickpea is an infectious disease caused by fowlpox virus. It is mainly spread through mosquito bites or direct contact. Prevention is the key. The following is a prevention guide and structured data compiled based on the hot spots across the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Transmission routes and symptoms of chickpeas
Chickpeas are divided into skin type (scabs on areas with sparse feathers) and diphtheria type (oral mucosal ulcers), with higher mortality in young birds. The following is an analysis of the transmission channels:
| Communication method | Proportion | High season |
|---|---|---|
| mosquito bites | 65% | summer and autumn |
| direct contact | 25% | All year round |
| pollute the environment | 10% | humid environment |
2. Preventive measures
1.Vaccination: Chicks aged 7-14 days are immunized for the first time, and the immunity is strengthened before laying eggs.
2.Mosquito control: Install window screens and spray mosquito repellent regularly (refer to the table below).
| Mosquito repellent methods | Frequency | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| pyrethroid spray | 1 time a week | avoid feed trough |
| mosquito coils | Night use | keep ventilated |
3.environmental management: Clean feces every day and disinfect 1-2 times a week (0.5% peracetic acid is recommended).
4.Nutritional fortification: Supplement vitamin A (5000IU/kg feed) to enhance mucosal resistance.
3. Recent hot cases and responses
According to feedback from the breeding forum, a chicken farm in Shandong Province in June resulted in a 20% infection rate due to failure to immunize it in time. The post-treatment measures were as follows:
| processing stage | measures | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Early stage of onset | Isolate sick chickens + apply iodine and glycerin | controlled spread |
| peak period | Whole population emergency immunization | New cases returned to zero after 7 days |
4. Common misunderstandings
•misperception: Adult chickens do not need to be vaccinated (actually any age can be infected)
•Disinfection blind spot: Ignore drinking water line disinfection (virus can survive in water for 48 hours)
5. Summary
Preventing chickpeas requires a three-pronged approach of "immunity + environment + nutrition", with special emphasis on mosquito season prevention and control. It is recommended that farmers establish epidemic prevention logs, regularly check the status of chickens, and detect and handle early.
