🐔 Curly Toe Paralysis

Curly toe paralysis, also known as curled-toe paralysis, affects chickens by causing inward curling of the toes, making walking difficult.

Causes and Symptoms

- It occurs when the sciatic nerves are damaged, often due to Marek's disease or riboflavin (Vitamin B2) deficiency.

- Affected chicks may show progressive weakness, reluctance to move, and inward curling of toes.

-Advanced cases may lead to atrophy of leg muscles and difficulty accessing food or water.

Prevention and Treatment

- Ensure your chicken feed contains sufficient vitamin B2

- Chickens need a minimum riboflavin content of 4.4 mg/kg in their diet.

- Treatment involves providing vitamins in water and using devices to stretch the toes for a few days. With time, affected chicks can recover.

🐔 Coccidiosis in Poultry 🐔

What is Coccidiosis? Coccidiosis is caused by intracellular protozoa parasites known as coccidia. In chickens, the genus Eimeria is most common.

Identifying Coccidiosis:

• Diarrhea, mucous and blood in the droppings (blood may be an indication of caecal coccidiosis)
• whitish soiling around the vent (common in intestinal coccidiosis)
• Other signs include pale skin, lack of vigor, loss of appetite, and ruffled feathers.

Diagnosis and Treatment:

• Effective treatments include amprolium, sulfadimethoxine, sulfaquinoxaline, and sulfamethazine.
• Changing bedding, disinfecting feeders, and ongoing preventive measures are crucial.

Preventing Coccidiosis:

1. Maintain Dry Surroundings: Coccidia thrives in humid environments, so keep your chicken areas dry.
2. Clean Bedding Regularly: Replace wet bedding promptly to prevent the spread of coccidia through f***s.
3. Quarantine New Birds: Isolate new additions for two weeks to prevent the spread of potential infections.
