10 WAYS TO REDUCE EXPLOSIVE DISEASES FOR CHICKEN
Outbreak of diseases is one of the causes of great losses for livestock farmers and deaths occur at the same time. When a breeder is faced with a bird mortality epidemic, before reaching the end of the production cycle, he should not expect to get a good profit immediately after the sale. Mortality losses can be avoided or minimized.
THIS IS POSSIBLE, THE FOLLOWING IS HOW TO ACHIEVE IT;-
1. WASH THE WATER VESSELS EVERY TIME AND DRY OUT THE REMAINING WATER Make sure you drain the remaining water apart from washing the container with soap every day, keep clean water without drugs and do not use river water or those whose source you do not know. If you are going to use medicinal water then use important 'vitamins' like 'vitalyte' which help to kill germs.
2. GIVE THEM WATER BEFORE FOOD Birds are different from humans or other animals. Make sure you give them water before food, especially if you use maranda, this is to make sure they don't step on each other when they fight for food in the same place.
3. DON'T GIVE THEM STINKY FOOD It is very dangerous to feed your birds/chickens moldy food, it is like feeding them poison. Mold or stench makes chickens sick very easily or cause other health problems.
4. CAREFULLY MONITOR VACCINATION AND TREATMENT SCHEDULES The breeder needs to get the right treatment and vaccination for the birds that you breed. Vaccinating birds will help strengthen their immunity against dangerous diseases such as measles, smallpox, mumps and measles. Medicines such as dewormers and antibiotics are very important to the health of chickens and other birds.
5. BUY AND RAISE HEALTHY CHICKS Many health problems of birds or chickens are the result of poor previous life of the chickens or they are inherited. Be aware, some birds/chickens inherit bad health from their parents. However, some breeders also raise chickens that have poor health and therefore sell chicks or eggs that are weak and affected and thus the buyer finds himself buying problems.
6. PREVENT THE COLLECTION OF AMMONIA AIR If the birds stay in the cage for a long time, it causes ammonia air to be produced in abundance, this air causes the birds to suffocate to death. Always remove fresh or rotting mulches and replace them as soon as possible to avoid deaths from infestation or respiratory diseases.
7. PREVENT MICE AND LITTERS The bird cage should not allow mice or small animals of the firefly species to enter, and wild birds by placing nets or spraying medicine, if they find an opening they will kill and eat your bird/chicken and leave pathogens when they eat food or drink your bird's water.
8. CONSIDER CLEANLINESS AND SAFETY This aspect of cleanliness and safety is broad, but what you have to do is to focus on cleanliness outside and inside the shed. You need to complete the health security of your birds/chickens at all times, something that many breeders do when they are surprised by an outbreak of diseases.
9. GIVE THEM ENOUGH FOOD Birds, like other animals, cannot grow and produce well if they are given poor and little food. Good food is a strong foundation and protection because poor food leads to weight loss and immunity to be low and therefore die early. Do your best to give the chickens enough food, but don't overfeed them.
10. PROTECT THEM AGAINST SEVERE COLD Extreme cold is an enemy to the health of animals, birds and humans. Try your best to protect your birds from the cold as it kills just as quickly as poison. Provide them with a source of heat during the winter or build a shelter that does not pass the extreme cold.
