Can the newly hatched chicks be fed garlic boiled water?

Yes, but feeding garlic to chickens is different from feeding garlic to big chickens. Chicken's gastrointestinal function is weak. If you feed the chicken garlic directly, spicy garlic can easily burn the chicken's stomach, so chop up the garlic, boil water and cool it before giving it to the chicken.

Garlic contains natural garlic oil, which has antibacterial effect. In late summer and early autumn, the temperature drops suddenly, and chickens are prone to diarrhea, diarrhea, pneumonia and other diseases. Garlic oil has a good inhibitory effect on these diseases.

The stomach of a chicken is much weaker than that of a big chicken. In addition, the hot weather in summer and poor ventilation in the henhouse will lead to an increase in bacteria in the henhouse. If it is not disinfected in time, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, feeding garlic water to chickens can effectively kill bacteria and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.

Although it is very helpful for the growth of chickens to feed garlic boiled water, garlic boiled water can't be given to chickens often, and it is usually only given to chickens in the hottest summer and when chickens are prone to illness in late summer and early autumn. The smell of garlic boiled water will make many chickens dislike it, so you can add more water when boiling water to reduce the smell of garlic.

Boiling water with garlic can not only reduce the incidence of chickens, but also promote the intestines and stomach of chickens and greatly increase their appetite.

Matters needing attention

It's much easier to feed garlic to the big chicken. Generally, garlic can be chopped and directly stirred in chicken feed. The purpose of feeding garlic to chickens is more to increase their appetite. In summer, when the weather is hot, their appetite will decrease. Therefore, chopping garlic and feeding it to chickens every once in a while can greatly increase their appetite. Garlic also has the function of sterilization and bacteriostasis, and chickens are prone to get sick in summer, which can improve the resistance of chickens.

In rural areas, people will use many folk remedies when feeding chickens. In addition to garlic, people will dilute vinegar with water and feed it to chickens. Vinegar can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce the growth of bacteria. But pay attention to the concentration of vinegar, which generally accounts for 5%- 10%, and feed it 3-5 times a month, not too frequently.
