Ways To Give Medications To Chickens

If you own a poultry farm and have raised
chickens for a long time, no matter how caring
you are about the environment that they live in,
there is going to come a time when your chickens
will fall ill and you will have to administer
some type of medicine to them. The medication for
broilers can either be given orally or through an
injection as per your veterinarian's
instructions. But as you can imagine, that isnt
always the easiest thing to do. According to
poultry medicine companies, the easiest way to
administer antibiotics to sick chickens is by
diluting it in their drinking water. But if there
is a specific vaccination for chicken that needs
to be administered individually via the oral
method, there are a few easy steps that you need
to follow. Step 1 Lift your chicken and grab
her around the middle while pinning her wings to
the body. Step 2 Flip her over gently in a way
that her feet are up in the air. Step 3 You
then need to kneel on the ground and place the
chicken gently between your knees. Step 4 After
this, gently pry open the chickens mouth with
the help of your fingers by delicately pressing
it at the hinge.

Step 5 It is then time to give the medication
for broilers to them. However, you cannot pour
the medicine down their throat since it could be
dangerous. You should instead use a syringe to
give the medication or antibiotics to poultry by
squirting in a little at a time, allowing the
chicken the swallow it. You can also administer
the medication for broilers through injections.
Read the label of the medication carefully to
know which injection method to use or get in
touch with your veterinarian to know more. The
process to give medications to chickens is an
easy one, you simply need to be patient until you
master the technique. We hope this article comes
in handy the next time your chicken falls ill and
you need to give her the required medicines.
The health of your entire flock is largely
dependent on the vaccination for chicken you
choose to give them. Chickens are usually kept in
cramped commercial production facilities.
Medication for broilers and vaccination for
chicken was developed with the intention of
reducing death rates, creating herd immunity, and
reducing the risk of potential transmission of
diseases among chickens. But it is always good
to keep yourself informed regarding the
vaccination to give your chickens. The list of
vaccinations and antibiotics poultry isn't a
comprehensive one since the poultry medicine
companies keep introducing new drugs in the
market. Here is a list of some common ones.
