Watery, yellow, green or brown droppings in the shed are the most common worry in winter batches. One bad morning can turn into wet litter, weak birds and a lost batch within days. Here is how to find the cause, what to fix first, and how to use Septima for loose droppings in poultry at the right dose.

Why do poultry birds get loose droppings?

  • Intestinal infections: E. coli and Salmonella, and in some batches Clostridium (necrotic enteritis).
  • Coccidiosis: often brown or bloody droppings from the second or third week.
  • Wet litter and dirty water: bacteria multiply fast in a wet shed. Read wet litter and loose droppings in winter.
  • Feed problems: a sudden feed change, poor quality ingredients or mycotoxins.
  • Cold stress in chicks: chilled chicks eat less and the gut suffers (see the winter brooding guide).

The colour of the droppings gives a clue. The droppings colour guide explains what each colour usually points to.

Fix these first

  • Dry the litter, repair leaking nipples and check ventilation. A supplement cannot work in a wet shed.
  • Clean the water lines and check the water source.
  • Check the feed: was there any change, any musty smell, any new lot?
  • Look at the birds: if there is blood in the droppings, high mortality or a sudden drop in feed intake, call your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis. Do not treat this at home with guesswork.

What is Septima?

According to its label, Septima is an anti-diarrheal combination for poultry with anti-diarrheal compounds and herbal bioenhancers in a dextrose base. The label lists these benefits:

  • Corrects loose droppings in poultry birds.
  • Beneficial in sudden mortality due to intestinal Salmonella and E. coli infections.
  • Helpful in prevention of early chick mortality.
  • Works in loose droppings and diarrhoea.
  • Fights against coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis (Clostridium species).
  • Reduces the intensity of fowl cholera.

Septima dose

SituationDose (per label)
Moderate intestinal infection1 g per 6 kg body weight, or 1 g per litre of water
High mortality1 g per 4-5 kg body weight, or 2 g per litre of water
E. coli infectionUse after antibiotic treatment (as advised by your veterinarian)
Brooding1 g per 100 chicks
Important: the label says do not mix any other drug, sanitizer or acidifier with Septima. Give it on its own in the water, and keep the other products for a different time of the day.

At 1 g per litre, one 500 g pack makes 500 litres of medicated water. For brooding at 1 g per 100 chicks, one pack covers about 50,000 chicks, which is roughly ₹16 per 1000 chicks (prices may change; confirm on WhatsApp).

Septima or a probiotic?

They do different jobs. Septima is for a gut that is already upset: loose droppings, intestinal infection, early mortality. A probiotic such as Remipro is for building and keeping a healthy gut flora, and for the weeks after the problem. Many farmers use Septima to settle the droppings first and then follow with a probiotic. Read the full plan in probiotic for poultry: gut health and FCR.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the symptom and ignoring the litter. Dry the shed first.
  • Mixing everything in one drinker. Septima should not be mixed with other drugs, sanitizers or acidifiers.
  • Guessing the dose. Weigh the powder and measure the water.
  • Waiting too long. Early chick mortality and sudden deaths need action on the same day.
