Poultry Health & Supplements
Protect Your Flock from the Inside Out
Keeping your chickens healthy can be a challenge. Insuring their health is more than just providing food and water.
Whether you raise chickens for eggs or meat, their health starts in the gut. Their digestive system is complex and a balanced gut microbiome is essential for a productive flock.
Common Health Concerns for Poultry
Like all animals, poultry is susceptible to a range of health issues. Understanding these health concerns is important to manage your flock.
Parasites
Parasitic infections are caused by mites, lice, worms, and protozoa. These parasites can cause anemia, weight loss, reduced egg production, and immunosuppression.
Foot Abscesses
Abscesses can be caused by infection, or bacteria getting into a cut. This can be very painful for poultry and can lead to limping, soreness, and swelling.
Respiratory Diseases
Respiratory disease can be caused by viruses, bacteria, ammonia, or poor ventilation.
Influenza Virus (AIV)
AIV, also known as the Bird Flu, is caused by a type of influenza A virus. It is spread through contact with infected birds, their droppings or contaminated surfaces.
