Antibiotics

In poultry farming, maintaining the health and well-being of your chickens is primary. Chicken antibiotics play a crucial role in poultry management, aiding in the prevention and treatment of various bacterial infections that can threaten the health of your flock. However, it’s essential to use antibiotics responsibly to ensure both the safety of your chickens and the quality of the products they provide.

Chicken antibiotics are available in injectable, oral, and topical forms. Injectable forms of antibiotics are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream targeting the site of infection. Oral antibiotics are liquid, or powder mixed into the water supply, which is ideal for flock treatment. Chickens can suffer from abrasions, pecking sores, bumblefoot, and scratches. Topical applications such as Vetericyn are applied to the wound for fast healing.
