Veterinarian Zhang from Shandong Wildlife Rescue Center reminds:
"Summer is a period of high incidence of diarrhea in peacocks, and farmers need to pay special attention to feed storage. When symptoms of diarrhea occur, samples should be taken for inspection before medication is given to avoid overuse of antibiotics leading to drug resistance. For precious species, it is recommended to establish health files in advance and record daily fecal status as a comparison benchmark."
