Using Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Poultry Care Spray can be part of an effective method for treating fowl pox and ensuring your chickens remain healthy.

Step-by-Step Fowl Pox Treatment

• Wet Form: Lesions in the mouth, oesophagus, or trachea, potentially causing respiratory distress.

• Isolate affected birds to prevent the spread of the virus to other poultry. Effective poultry care products for disease management can help control the spread.
• Ensure the bird is calm and securely restrained to minimise stress.

Clean the Affected Area

• Use clean water to gently wash away dirt and debris from the lesions.
• Trim feathers around the affected area if necessary to improve access and application.

Application of Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Poultry Care Spray

Comprehensive Information on Fowl Pox

Fowl pox is a viral infection affecting chickens, turkeys, and other birds. It spreads through direct contact with infected birds or via vectors like mosquitoes. The disease has two forms: dry (cutaneous) and wet (diphtheritic).

• Dry Form: Characterised by wart-like nodules on the skin that eventually form scabs. These lesions are typically found on the comb, wattles, and other unfeathered parts.
• Wet Form: Involves the formation of diphtheritic lesions in the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity, which can lead to respiratory distress.

Prevention involves good biosecurity practices, controlling mosquito populations, and vaccination in endemic areas.
