Baycox and other drugs for the treatment of chickens
Chicks born in an incubator and growing without a hen are much less protected from diseases than their peers who are under the care of a hen. One of the drugs that every poultry farmer should have at hand, Baycox, chicks instructions for use will tell you the dosages and methods of use.
In the list of diseases dangerous for chickens in the first days of life and young growth, there are several dozen infectious, viral and parasitic diseases. They are often difficult to recognize, and the bird will die within hours or days. Therefore, literally from the first day, it is important to take care of the birds' immunity.
How to drink chickens in the first days of life? Incubator chicks appear sterile. And the digestive system is gradually occupied by both beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms. Any failure in nutrition or conditions of detention in this case threatens to disrupt the fragile balance, the development of intestinal infections, helminthic invasions and other unpleasant problems.
What is contained in these preparations, and what is their effect on the chicken's body?
Chicken probiotics
Probiotics are therapeutic and prophylactic preparations containing substances that can have a beneficial effect on the intestinal microflora, maintain its balance, and, if necessary, restore it. Mostly, probiotic products contain products of microbial origin.
For chickens, probiotics are useful from the first days of life. An example of an effective product is the Bacell feed additive. The drug contains:
- enzyme complex;
- substances that contribute to the accelerated formation of microflora in the intestines of poultry;
- components that prevent the development of pathogenic microflora;
- live strains of beneficial microorganisms.
The advantage of Bacell is its natural origin and effective action against birds of almost all ages and breeds.
Once in the body of chickens, the probiotic increases the digestibility of the feed given, which affects the rate of development of the livestock and its quality indicators.
For older birds, use the drug Vetom. An active biological supplement designed to normalize the intestinal microflora and increase the natural resistance of the bird's body. This probiotic for chickens and young animals is effective in cases of intestinal disorders, diarrhea, it can be given during rehabilitation after taking antibiotics and stressful situations, for example, after vaccination of poultry.

Like probiotics, vitamins are important for chickens. No matter how balanced and nutritious the feed for young animals is, it cannot fully meet the needs of rapidly growing chicks in amino acids, vitamins and microelements.
To exclude vitamin deficiency and prevent the threat of associated painful conditions, among other drugs, Trivitamin is used for chickens. This product contains groups of essential vitamins A, D3, E in the form of a solution in oil.For prophylactic purposes, the drug is given together with compound feeds or mixtures that go to the common feeder. When Chicken Twitamin is used for treatment or rehabilitation, it is given to each bird individually.

Chickens are given the drug with feed or water from the first days of life, which allows you to achieve the speedy growth of the bird, its resistance to stress, infection with parasites and infections. Like other vitamins for chickens, Aminovital helps to successfully fight existing diseases, and is also used after recovery for a speedy recovery.
