05.01.2022 Posted by Cathy Newton on the Incubation Group: Coccidiosis: A lot of people are hatching chicks at this time of year - some for the first time. When rearing t...hose chicks you need to be aware of this disease as it can kill your chicks within days in a severe outbreak. Coccidiosis is caused by parasitic Protozoa. Most coccidia in poultry belong to the genus Eimeria. It is common worldwide, but is especially likely in warm, humid weather. It is also common in younger or growing birds. There are many strains, and birds can be affected by different strains at the same time, or in succession. Coccidia causes disease in chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks where they develop in the intestinal tissues. Birds that have coccidiosis often display a characteristic posture. They hunch up, fluff up and can drop their wings. They may have: diarrhea soft mucoid faeces bloody droppings pink intestinal tissue in droppings hunched posture with ruffled feathers droopiness loss of appetite or even interest in water slow growth weakness aenemia - may see pale comb and skin The disease is spread by droppings of infected birds. It can be spread on used equipment, feed containers, feet of humans and wild birds etc. There are two main types of Coccidiosis Intestinal Coccidiosis and Cecal Coccidiosis. In the intestinal version the intestinal tract is affected by the Eimeria, and in the Cecal version, the cecum is affected. Coccidia have two main phases in their life cycle; one phase occurs outside the host and involves the development of the infective stages (oocysts), and the major phase which occurs within the host and involves massive multiplication and sexual reproduction. Birds ingest a number of oocysts and become infected. The severity of the infection depends on the numbers that they are host to. At a low dose the immune systems responds to the challenge and deals with the infection. When birds ingest too many they can develop visible symptoms and if the disease is unchecked it can kill them. Incubation period Cecal Coccidiosis: 5 6 days Intestinal Coccidiosis: 5 days Treat urgently with a medication for Coccidiosis according to directions. Raise chicks on clean dry litter and avoid crowded or damp conditions. Make sure drinkers are not spilling water into the litter. Make sure water and feed is uncontaminated by droppings. Use medicated chick starter or grower. Ensure that chicks are warmly housed out of draughts. In severe cases raising chicks on a wire grill can reduce ingestion of the oocysts and help recovery. In severe cases, reducing the protein level in the feed can also be of assistance. Monitor droppings during and after treatment. Often morning droppings can show blood, even if the day is normal. Putting newspaper under perches or on brooder floors can make the droppings easier to see. Some Common Medications (many available at produce stores): Baycox (Toltrazuril) Coccivet (Amprolium, Ethopabate) Sulphaquin (Sulphaquinoxaline) Sulpha D (sulfadiazine) Sulpha 3 (Sulphaquinoxaline+Sulphadimidine+Sulphathiazole) Sulphadim (Sulphadimione) You may like to follow treatment with a vitamin supplement (especially A and K). Survivors of one strain may become infected with a different strain and require further treatment. Survivors of severe infections may never be productive.
