“…Mortality of hatching poults is greatest during the first 2 wk posthatch and is characterized by decreased feed and water consumption and morbidity that cannot be attributed to a specific etiological agent (Phelps, 1985). Force feeding poults with various antibiotic, vitamin, and sugar solutions before ad libitum feeding has been reported to decrease mortality and promote growth (Kienholz and Ackerman, 1970;Moreng et al, 1970;Enos eta/., 1971;Waldroup etal., 1974;Twinning et al, 1978). These earlier studies indicated that prefeeding of antibiotic and nutrient solutions reduces mortality and other adverse effects associated with lengthy intervals between hatching and placement into brooding houses.…”

A commercially available antibiotic and nutrient solution was prefed by gavage into the crops of newly hatched poults, which were then brooded under standard conditions of continuous lighting, 35-C temperatures, and ad libitum feed. Treated poults exhibited higher feed consumption, hematocrits, and total red blood cells during the week following the prefeeding regime. Prefeeding partially ameliorated the typically low hematological parameters that have been associated previously with early poult mortality. The results of this study suggest that prefeeding an antibiotic and nutrient solution significantly improves the welfare of poults during the 1st week after hatching.

The Effectiveness of Nutrient Solutions Given to Young Turkey Poults in Drinking Water or by Oral and Parenteral Dosage

et al. 1974

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Studies have been conducted with young turkey poults to determine the effectiveness of several commercial nutrient preparations for stimulating early growth and reducing poult mortality. A single oral dosage of a complete nutrient solution (Ambex) was effective, especially when poults were held for 12 hours before starting. The addition of several commercial "stress packs" or water soluble zinc bacitracin to the drinking water of poults for the first 14 days was also effective, especially if the commercial preparations contained soluble antibiotics.
