What is broiler gout and how to treat broiler gout

Broiler gout refers to the deposition of urate, which leads to the rapid death of chickens. This gout is mainly related to high feed protein, imbalance of calcium and phosphorus ratio, and great damage to the liver and kidneys.

For gout on broilers, especially large meat and other breeds, if gout occurs, it has a lot to do with irrational drug use and drug abuse.

This is a typical broiler drug abuse, resulting in gout. Therefore, in addition to management, feed, scientific medicine is also needed.

We welcome an exchange of views.

After dissection of <> visceral gout of broilers, many lime-like white dust or flocculent substances are scattered on the surface of the thorax and abdominal air sacs, lungs, pericardium, liver, spleen, kidney, intestine, and mesentery, the ureters are thickened, and the ureters are filled with a large amount of white mucus; In severe cases, there are irregular stones, sometimes with high swelling on one side of the kidney and atrophy on the other; Articular gout is mostly swollen around the toe joint, and there is a gray-white creamy or gray-yellow viscous liquid inside the incision and swelling.

(1) Prevention.

The main reason for the prevention of gout is that the protein content in the feed should not be too high, it is not suitable to feed a single feed for a long time, and it is not suitable to feed sulfonamides that damage the liver for a long time. Strengthen feeding management, keep the chicken house hygienic and dry, ventilated, adequate drinking water and proper exercise; Rationally match the proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the feed and add vitamin A and vitamin D.

2）**。The cause of this disease should be found from the feed formula. Adjust the feed formula, reduce the protein component, stop feeding drugs that damage the liver, increase the content of multivitamins in the feed, supplement rich vitamin A, increase some green feed, and provide sufficient drinking water, and the condition will improve quickly.

Chapter 5 Prevention and Control of Common Viral Diseases in Chickens.

Causes.

Chicken gout disease is characterized by the accumulation of a large amount of uric acid in the blood, and the deposition of urate in internal organs and bones and joints, causing symptoms such as emaciation, weakness, and movement disorders. The main causes of this disease are: (1) improper feed mixing, excessive addition of stone powder to the feed, high protein content, lack of vitamin A; (2) Poor management, insufficient drinking water, and not long exercise; (3) Long-term or excessive dosing of sulfonamides.

**Method. **Medium Elimination** and combined with taking rhubarb soda tablets. (1) Stop using the original feed and feed the low-calcium feed without stone powder; Discontinuation of iodaramines. (2) Take rhubarb soda tablets, each kilogram of body weight tablets (including grams of rhubarb and sodium bicarbonate), seriously ill chickens are directly dosed one by one, and the rest of the mixture is used twice a day for 3 days.

At the same time as the rhubarb soda tablets are used, Baoshu Novi and AD3 powder are added to the feed, and sufficient drinking water is given.

Diagnosis and treatment experience. The author believes that the large amount of food during the breeding period, long-term feeding of high-calcium feed, high-density cage breeding, and no exercise conditions are likely to lead to gout in chickens; In addition, sulfonamides are commonly used drugs, such as overdose or long-term administration can cause or aggravate renal damage, so that urate accumulates in the body, causing chicken gout.

Adjust the chicken feed formula to reduce the protein content.

Dandelion and it soaked in water together, diuretic, excrete excess uric acid, and prevent gout!

Zhengzhou Gout and Rheumatism Hospital introduced that feasible measures can be taken for the specific ** surveyed, and good results can be obtained. Atropine can be tried orally twice a day. Allopurinol can also be tried, taken orally twice a day, which can lead to an acute gout attack, and colchicine can be given 3 times a day to relieve symptoms.

When the disease of large chicken farms, it is not the main countermeasure, it should be actively eliminated, improve the feeding management conditions, and add vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus in the feed in an appropriate proportion, and do not cause high calcium conditions.

What are the symptoms and methods of chicken gout Chicken gout is a nutritional disease caused by the disorder of nucleoprotein metabolism in chickens. It mostly occurs in caged laying hens, and sick chickens are manifested by the accumulation of a large amount of urate in various organs or joint tissues.

1. Clinical symptoms Poor spirits, loss of appetite, emaciation, anemia, pale flesh, and unkempt feathers. The stool is thin and contains a large amount of white urate, which forms a starchy paste. The cloaca is relaxed, and the feces often cannot be expelled involuntarily, contaminating the feathers in the lower part of the cloaca.

The joints are swollen and painful, first soft and then hard, forming nodules. Swelling mostly occurs in the joints of the limbs, slow movement, difficulty in moving, and weakness in the legs and reluctance to move in the later stage. Some chickens had difficulty breathing, had spasms and other neurological symptoms, and finally collapsed and died.

2. Changes in autopsy The kidneys are enlarged and lighter in color; The ureters are markedly thickened and unevenly thickened, and the hard lumen is filled with lime-like deposits. The heart, liver, spleen, mesentery, and peritoneum are covered with a white urate in the form of a film. The joints of the toes and legs are swollen, and white urate deposition can be seen in the articular cartilage, periarticular tissues, synovium, tendon sheath, ligaments, and bone marrow.

Third, the first method to reduce the content of protein in the feed, especially to reduce the amount of animal protein raw materials to feed the nutrition is comprehensive, balanced, rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements of high-quality, fresh feed, especially vitamin C and vitamin A content should be sufficient.

Fourth, preventive measures chickens in all stages of growth must have scientific nutritional standards, can not increase or decrease the content of feed composition and content, especially the content of animal protein. Otherwise, gout will occur due to nutritional deficiencies that make the weight unsuitable or due to excess protein. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the storage of feed, first of all, the feed storage time should not be too long, and it should be used up within the effective shelf life.

Secondly, the storage conditions should meet the requirements, not damp, and not feed spoiled or moldy feed.
