Chicken formaldehyde poisoning symptoms

2020-11-03

As a kind of disinfectant, formaldehyde can denature protein and present a powerful sterilization effect. It is mainly used for fumigation and disinfection of various items. It can also be used for immersion disinfection and spray disinfection. It can kill reproductive bacteria, and can kill spores, Viruses and molds. But if used improperly, it can cause formaldehyde poisoning.

 
Causes of chicken formaldehyde poisoning
 
The main reason is that after fumigation and disinfection with formaldehyde (formalin) and potassium permanganate, there is not enough time to open doors and windows to drain the remaining air. Especially at low temperatures, although there is residual gas without irritating odor, when the temperature of the poultry house rises, the formaldehyde gas evaporates, causing poisoning. It is also seen in the wrong use of formaldehyde to disinfect poultry.
 
Clinical symptoms of chicken formaldehyde poisoning
 
In acute poisoning, the chicken is depressed, appetite and drinking appetite are significantly reduced, eyes are watery, photophobic, and eyelids swell. Runny nose, cough, difficulty breathing, and even open mouth to wheeze. In severe cases, obvious narrowing sounds are produced. Yellow-green or green loose stools. Often suffocated to death.
