1. Why is liver disease the biggest “hidden killer”?

The liver is the most important metabolic and detoxification organ of the body. It can also be called a "sedimentation tank" or a "sewage treatment plant". The quail liver is the largest solid organ in the body, accounting for about 2%. Because the liver nervous system of quails is underdeveloped and has dense blood vessels, and because the liver is sealed in the abdominal cavity and highly concealed, it is difficult to detect problems with it. Once acute death occurs, it will be in the advanced stage. Therefore, liver disease is the biggest "invisible killer". There are many causes of liver problems in poultry, such as nutrition, parasites, disease factors, toxins, and other drug poisonings. Even after the above diseases are cured, they will have a serious impact on the production performance of quails.

Currently, many liver disease problems are closely related to mycotoxins. In addition, the liver's own repair ability is very strong. When found When the main clinical symptoms caused by liver disease, or when death occurs, a certain period of time has passed in the course of the disease.

In addition, in the current breeding process, when treating certain diseases in the early stage, such as preventing and treating Mycoplasma synoviae, chemical drugs are used repeatedly and the treatment course is long. If the health care of the liver is ignored, hidden dangers will be left and the liver will increase. If the problem occurs, you can use Dr. Kemei during treatment to remove mycotoxins, repair liver function, clear away heat and detoxify, and relieve immune suppression for comprehensive prevention and treatment. ‍

2. What are the common and frequent "liver diseases" in laying poultry?

① Quail fatty liver syndrome:

This disease mostly occurs in quail egg-laying peak periods and in high-producing chicken flocks. Egg production will decrease significantly and quails will die suddenly. A large amount of lipid substances appeared in the liver tissue of the quail, which damaged the liver function. Eventually, the quail died of liver hemorrhage. There is a big difference between fatty liver and hepatic hemorrhage. The main difference is that fatty liver mainly occurs in egg-laying poultry, and it commonly occurs in caged egg-laying quails. Necropsy shows: there are large amounts of fat deposits in the abdominal cavity and mesentery, etc. The liver is enlarged, brittle, khaki in color, has blunt edges, and has bleeding spots and other lesions on its surface.

②Hepatitis E:

Quail hepatitis E is caused by the hepatitis E virus , the main symptoms of sick quail are hepatosplenomegaly and decreased egg production rate. There are many small bleeding points or necrotic lesions under the liver membrane, and the liver becomes brittle, accompanied by splenomegaly and multiple pale lesions on the surface or section of the spleen. The main onset period is mostly in summer and autumn. The disease spreads quickly and has a long course. It can spread to the entire flock in one week. The course of the disease lasts for several weeks, which will cause the egg production rate to drop sharply or fail to reach the peak of egg production, seriously affecting economic benefits.
