Hi @zabuabdullahgmail-com and @proola34gmail-com . We consulted with a few experts on the topic of coccidiosis and CRD, and here is some advisory from them:
“Coccidiosis can occur in high density flocks and in birds that are in direct contact with feces. It is caused by a protozoan parasite which enters the gut of the bird through ingestion of feces. Generally, birds raised in cages with no contact with fecal material do not develop the disease. Respiratory diseases are caused by viral, bacterial, fungal and mycoplasma infections. Crowding can cause dust in the bird house, can also lead to accumulated ammonia which can in turn trigger off a respiratory infection.
To improve the situation,
For Coccidiosis: review coccidiostat program. Use Monensin+Narasin in pre starter & starter, chemical coccidiostat like robenidine in finisher (rotate with different combinations every 3 months). In case of clinical outbreak: use Tortazuril or ESB 3 in water for 3 days. Use probiotics in water as well as in feed
For CRD: for mycoplasma control : use Tylosine 10% in feed 1 kg per ton of feed in all feeds.
If E.coli present: use Amoxicillin or Erythromycin in water for 5 days. (In case of outbreak)
For prevention; Tylosine in feed and Levofloxacin in water for first 5 days and day 21 onwards for 5 days. Don’t use LaSota strain instead use Clone ND live vaccine”Feel free to implement on your own, and let us know if this is helpful or if you have further questions.
