Don't feed chickens with hot fermented feed
During the hot season, feed is highly susceptible to moisture and heat, making it prone to spoilage and acidification. When chickens consume this spoiled feed, it can irritate the lining of the hernia sac, leading to inflammation. If the leftover feed produces excessive acid during decomposition, that acid can be absorbed through the chicken's intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream, causing acidosis.
Once acidosis occurs in chickens, they often show clear symptoms such as purple combs, drooping wings, fluffed-up feathers, and a significant decrease in appetite—some may even refuse to eat altogether. In severe cases, affected chickens may become lethargic, fall into a coma, or even die if not treated promptly.
To prevent acidosis, it’s essential to avoid feeding chickens with spoiled or fermented feed. Keep feeding utensils clean and regularly washed. Avoid overstocking feed; only prepare or purchase what is needed for a short period. Store feed in a dry, well-ventilated, and cool place to prevent mold growth. It’s also beneficial to mix wet ingredients into the feed and provide fresh water at all times so the chickens can drink freely. If you notice any signs of acidosis, take immediate action based on the severity of the condition to improve the chances of recovery.
Proper management and attention to feed quality are key to maintaining the health and productivity of your flock during the hot season.
