Chlorine and sodium deficiency are diseases characterized by neurological symptoms and abnormal egg production.
1. Causes
The content of chlorine and sodium compounds in the diet is insufficient; there is an antagonistic effect between iodide and chloride, and excessive dietary iodine causes chlorine deficiency.
2, the main symptoms
The young birds exhibited neurological symptoms. Their frightened legs stretched backwards. They also fell forward and fell on the ground. They returned to normal and relapsed several minutes later and died of failure. Poor growth of sick birds and keratinization of the cornea. Poultry egg production decreased and egg weight became lighter, weight loss, and omnivorous food.
3, necropsy features
The chicks have thick blood and soft bones.
4, prevention points
The rational preparation of the diet, so that the content of sodium chloride in the diet in the 0.3 to 0.4%, can prevent the occurrence of the disease. However, if the diet is provided with a feed with a high salt content, such as salted fish meal, the amount of sodium chloride added should be calculated to prevent repeated additions, which in turn leads to salt poisoning (lethal dose 4 g/kg body weight).
