The invention provides application of a perylenequinone compound in the preparation of feed for preventing and treating poultry viruses, and belongs to the technical field of biological engineering and agriculture. The invention relates to the preparation of the feed for preventing and treating the poultry viruses such as Marek's disease virus, avian leukosis virus subgroup J, chicken infectious anemia virus, avian reovirus, newcastle disease virus, infectious bursal disease virus, goose parvovirus, duck plague virus, avian influenza virus and the like by adding the perylenequinone compound into poultry feed. The perylenequinone compound comprises hypocrellin, elsinochrome, polyanticin, cladosporin, calphostin, cercosporin and the like, and has a series advantages of being convenient to extract, having good stability, having no obvious side effect for oral administration, realizing quick metabolism and the like. The dosage of the perylenequinone compound in the preparation of the feedfor preventing and treating the poultry viruses is 1-50umol of perylenequinone compound per kg by weight every day; the dosage of the perylenequinone compound in the preparation of the feed for preventing and treating the poultry viruses is 50umol-200umol of perylenequinone compound per kg by weight; moreover, the perylenequinone compound has very obvious effect of preventing and treating the poultry viruses, meanwhile can be produced through modern biotechnology, and can bring good economic and social benefits.
