Blindness Chicken

Night blindness is a common disease that occurs in birds. The cause of chicken blindness is a dysfunction of the brain due to a lack of essential substances in the diet. This leads to impaired vision, slowed growth, decreased productivity and reproduction. This occurs due to a lack of selenium, vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids in food. Because of this, bird organisms lose the ability to see in low light. In some cases, birds stop seeing even in bright light. Blindness causes the death of large groups of birds, especially in conditions of poor diet. It is necessary to monitor the nutrition on the farm to prevent the occurrence of this disease.
