My grandmother lives in Xiaoshan reclamation area and has a chicken farm at home. Every time I go to her house, there are always chickens and eggs on the table.

One day last year, I went to my grandmother's house. I saw a plague among chickens there, and many of them died. My grandmother is too distressed to eat. I accidentally cut down a cactus and fed it to a plague-ridden chicken.

Soon after, we found that the chicken became energetic and had an appetite. After examination, the disease of this chicken was basically eliminated. Looking for the reason why this chicken recovered, everyone thought that cactus probably played a role. At this moment, I remembered the teacher once said that in China medicine, many plants can be used as medicines to treat some diseases.

In order to find out the real reason, my cousin and I began to investigate chicken farms. We know that many chicken farmers are also trying to cure diseases such as chicken plague with cactus.

So, what is the relationship between cactus and chicken plague? After consulting materials and visiting experts, we finally learned that the stem of cactus contains quercetin, glucose, resin, tartaric acid and protein. The stems and leaves also contain triterpenes, malic acid, succinic acid and 24% potassium carbonate. Quercetin and tartaric acid have antibacterial effects and are the bane of chicken plague.

At this point, we understand why cactus can cure chicken plague, and we are also amazed at the magical effect of cactus.

In order to further determine the best usage and dosage of cactus in treating chicken plague, we did another experiment.

First, we took 20 sick chickens from the chicken farm and divided them into 5 groups with 4 chickens in each group. Take some fresh cactus, cut off the prickles on the epidermis, wash them, and squeeze them out with a juicer. Finally, a certain amount of cactus juice was mixed with a certain amount of feed in the dose cup, and then it was fed to chickens, which achieved different effects on different doses of five groups of sick chickens.

The experimental results show that the fourth group has achieved the best effect, that is to say, the treatment effect of taking 4 grams of cactus juice in the morning and evening is the best. From this, I think that if cactus is made into a drug to prevent and treat chicken plague, it will have a very good effect and reduce the pollution caused by synthetic drugs.

Because cactus is easy to grow, it can also save a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it is popularized quickly and has excellent market prospects.
