TREATING COCCIDIOSIS IN CHICKS

[Glenda Heywoodo]

Hi there, I just wrote this recipe down for future refrence! Now none of my chicks or chickens are sick so for learning sake could you please post a thread for this topic for us newbies?

Also I would like to know where to find the signs and symptoms for this? How would a healthy group of birds get this if no new birds are carried in? Forgive my ignorance please!
Hi, I am Debbie!

i FED THIS FOR CHICKS FO MANY MANY YEARS AND FOUND IT WORKED FINE.
If you keep having coccidisis problems with chicks
switch to corid or 7days in the water

CORRECT CORID DOSAGE FOR COCCIDIOSIS IN CHICKENS
Glenda Heywood
NEVER PUT ACV IN WATER WITH ANY MEDICATION AS IT NULIFYS THE MEDICATION
AND THE CORRECT AMT OF CORID 9.6% IS 2 tsp TSP OF CORID TO GALLON OF WATER
do this for seven days
here is the way I have used corid
Well with all that has been said here is the thing with CORID you can put it in the water for 7 days and yes it can be fed to adults as they get coccidiosis as well as the chicks
do this
HERE IS THE RECIPE FOR THEM ASAP YOU GET THE CORID
THESE TWO ARE YOUR SITUATION AT THIS TIME
(2 do any of them not eat or drink yet?
(3 do you see any signs of blood in the manure?
can be slightly if first day
most times they only drink not eat
(4 for coccidiosis I like amproylium best generally CORID
but most feed stores don't stock it
My friend here gives some info on coccidiosis
Nathalie Ross"
(1 coccidiosis I think it might be helpful for you to know that coccidia are
very VERY hard to trace in a fecal. When I worked as a vet tech, it
was common procedure to go ahead and treat with a combination
antibiotic/antiprotazoan medication like Sulfa products (Sulmet being the most
common) based on symptom diagnosis rather than physical evidence of the
oocysts. use Sulmet to treat them for coccidiosis
(2 gut bacteria ..............................................................................
THIS IS PERTANT TO YOUR PROBLEM NOW
At 7 weeks, the babies are still in the
process of getting their gut bacteria in order. See, they're born
without any bacteria at all in their gut. So they eat at day 2, and put
food in there as a food source for themselves but also for bacteria.
Basically, it's first-come-first-serve for bacteria. If the bad ones get
there first, they take over and your birds get ill. IF there are some
good but mostly bad, the same thing happens. If you give your birds
probiotics (substances containing live beneficial bacteria) your GOOD
(3) bacteria will have the advantage. Those good bacteria crowd out the bad,
make it impossible for the bad bacteria to live in anything but minimal
numbers, and thus help your birds to stay healthy. So I always
recommend giving probiotics weekly from week 2 til point of lay. Then I move
to once a month or as needed. You can use live-culture yogurt
(1 teaspoon per 8 newly hatched, moving up to 1 teaspoon per point of lay
(2) bantam, 1 tablespoon per point of lay large fowl - no more please). You can
also use powdered livestock probiotics (Probios dispersable powder
being my absolute favorite - it's the choice of exotic bird breeders,
(3) Or, you can go to the human health food store
and pick up a human supplement like "acidophilus" (Lactobacilus
acidophilus), or a combination of acidophilus and B. bifidum
(4) sold to combat
yeast infections. The latter is a particular useful thing for a poultry
hobbiest to have. The addition of b. bifidum helps combat thrush.
(5) Thrush is essentially a yeast infection that is common to birds because of
the way their crops store feed in wet conditions. Things tend to get
fungus and yeast there, and thus the yeast infection. That infection
goes throughout the bird's system and is really a mess, so that
bifidum/acidophilus mix is the best. Try to find a non-dairy liquid, and you'll
have the ultimate probiotic.
(6) E.Coli ................................................................................
.............THIS IS VERY PERTANT FOR YOUR BIRDS
In case your babies are said to have an infection of E. coli (most
likely case) then you can try putting some vitamin E in their feed.
......................................................................
(7) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BIRDS NOW
( GLH- advises using the 400 mg Vit E capsules cut end off and squeeze into wet mash
and putting in a wet mash for them to eat
( use one capsule Vit E per bird treating and do this twice a day for a week
Vitamin E helps fix E. coli overpopulations. You know what else helps fight E. coli?
(8) b. bifidum. It secrets a substance that E. coli just
can't stand. See where this is going?

(8-A) Put the amt of corid in the gallon of water for 7 days
also make this wet mash with corid for two mornings
when they finish it clean out the wet feeders and restock the dry feed
if using corid 9.6%
for 9 chicks
18 tsp OF of dry mash
36 tsp of water
add 2 tsp of corid 9.6% to the water
feed 2 tsp per chicken for a feeding
feed this two mornings to get the medication in the birds
also at same time put the corid or sulmet in the drinking water for 7 days
each chick get 2 tsp of the wet mash with coccidiosis meds
[8-B] speckled hen gives corid(9.6%) liquid in 3-4 tbsp of corid per gallon of water
and after medicating give the following things
THIS IS FOR YOUR CHICKS NOW
the corid amproylium will work for coccidiosis
(9) THIS IS FOR YOUR CHICKS NOW
but now you have a difficient gut problem with the E.coli
and it needs to have the Vitamin E put in the wet mash probiotic to help the E.coli gut problem
do this
(10) now the
natural probiotic recipe is is:
1/2 qt of dry crumbles
3/4 QT of milk, sweet, sour, or buttermilk or a mixture of all or some
1/4 cup of non flavored yoguart ( no artificial sweetmer)
mix good
YOU CAN ADD LAST ON TOP OF WET MASH
1/4 CUP OF APPLE SAUCE AS THEY WILL EAT THAT GOOD
(11) (12) NOW THE IMPORTANT INGRIEDIENT FOR EACH CHICK FED
and add 1- 1000 mg of Vit E by cutting the end off the vit E capsule for each chick fed this wet mash
putting it in the wet mash
this for each chick your treating
so for each chick use 2 tsp of mixture and 1-1000 mg of Vit E
twice a day for them till the manure is solid
(12) and feed each chick
2 tsp full of the wet mash probiotic and what they will clean up in 20-30 minutes
then clean wet feeders and restock dry crumbles
(13) do this twice a day for a week
till the chicks manure is right
then quit the Vit E make just the wet mash probiotic
then once a week for life
All the while after mdicating the birds use ACV IN THE WATER
do not use ACV with medication
(14) 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon of the chicken water so their gut flora wil be regulated they should have this at least 3-5 days a week
then three days aweek after they are over coccidiosis
the vit's are neccessary to clean up the damaged gut problem
email me any questions so you are not confused

INFORMATION ON SULMET FOR COCCIDIOSIS
EXPLANED BY NATHALIE ROSS
Nathalie Ross
I would put them on 7 days of sulmet in the water...
for the coccidiosis now that you have it
Nathalie's explanation of sulmet is
Sulmet is sulfamethazine.
Sulmet is used for treatment against bacterial scours in cattle, which just happens to be E. coli.
It also is used against Coryza, Pastuerella, and Salmonella Pullorum in poultry. It's an old fashioned sulfur drug, very broad spectrum, safe for babies, easy to give.
then give them the wet mash probiotic so they can make good gut flora
Here is the way I would use and have used sulmet for coccidiosis
Now what to do and what to feed after medicating for coccidiosis
to make sure they eat the medicated wet mash do this first ans second day of treating and medication in the water 7 days
also I use the wet mash with sulmet or corid
2 tbsp of dry crumbles(chicken mash)
4 tbsp of water
1 tsp of sulmet add to the water
if using corid
2 tbsp of dry mash
4 tbsp of water
add 2 tsp of corid 9.6% to the water
feed 2 tsp per chicken for a feeding
feed this two mornings to get the medication in the birds
also at same time put the corid or sulmet in the drinking water for 7 days
speckled hen gives corid(9.6%) liquid in 3-4 tbsp per gallon of water
and after medicating give the following things
either the corid amproylium or the sulmet will work but now you have a difficient gut problem with the E.coli
and it needs to have the Vitamin E and selenium put in the wet mash probiotic to help the E.coli gut problem
do this
now the
natural probiotic recipe is is:
1 qt of dry crumbles
2 qts of milk, sweet, sour, or buttermilk or a mixture of all or some
1/4 cup of non flavored yoguart ( no artificial sweetmer)
mix good
NOW THE IMPORTANT INGRIEDIENT FOR EACH CHICK FED
and add 1- 1000 mg of Vit E by cutting the end off the vit E capsule for each chick fed this wet mash
and 1 seliunium tablet crushed for each chick fed this wet mash
putting it in the wet mash
this for each chick your treating
so for each chick use 2 tsp of mixture and 1-1000 mg of Vit E
and 1 sleinium tablet crushed in the wet mash probiotic
twice a day for them till the manure is solid
and feed each chick
2 tsp full of the wet mash probiotic and what they will clean up in 20-30 minutes
then clean wet feeders and restock dry crumbles
do this twice a day for a week
till the chicks manure is right
then quit the Vit E and selinium make just the wet mash probiotic
then once a week for life
All the while after mdicating the birds use
do not use ACV with medication
2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon of the chicken water so their gut flora wil be regulated
they should have this at least 3-5 days a week
then three days aweek after they are over coccidiosis
