Renal Disorder a kind of kidney disease in which there is an inflammation, loss of kidney function and in worst condition led to kidney failure. Urolithiasis, a degenerative renal disease, which is caused by the formation of urolith in the ureters of laying hens. It is also caused when uric acid becomes too high in the bloodstream and kidney is unable to remove that excess uric from the body. With the accumulation of excess toxins in the blood and kidney, the absorption of nutrients from feed lowers which lowers the health and growth.
How is uric acid produced?
All birds consume some type of feed which contains different types of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This feed goes into the digestive tract where the feed is started breaking and releasing nutrients. Proteins which is also released during digestion produce amino acids and it is absorbed by the body which is used for growth, body development, repairing tissue, cell formation, enzymes, and hormones. A large amount of amino acids is burned to produce energy. When this happens nitrogen is produced which is a toxic material and need to be disposed of. The nitrogen freed from this protein in the form of ammonia which birds convert it in less toxic uric acid. This uric acid is then removed from the body with the help of kidneys.
