Certain diseases in chicken can occur at a particular age of their life. However, proper management and adequate sanitation measures can help in preventing diseases. Poultry disease outbreak is an unpleasant occurrence that poultry farmers do experience in one time or the other.
Downtime between flocksAdequate downtime of at least 14 days with appropriate cleaning and disinfection measures between flock placements helps to reduce transmission of disease between flocks and allows time to prepare for the next flock. Stakeholders Meeting for Sustainable Management of Fisheries Bharat Ka Amrut.Well-defined biosecurity practices throughout broiler production (pre-, during and post-placement) are crucial to successful poultry production.Effective biosecurity can aid hygiene, vermin and insect control on-farm and help to limit disease transmission within and between barns. BiosecurityWebinar on National Campaign on System Diversification in Aquaculture. Some critical focus areas are as follows: 1.
As a result, ensuring a good start in poultry production can have a significant impact on the future health and performance of the birds.The brooding period is an important time for intestinal growth and the development of a balanced microflora. Brooding managementWith today’s improved genetic capabilities and the fast growth of birds, more time is being spent during the critical brooding phase. Maintaining intestinal integrity during this time through innovative technologies provided in the Alltech ® Gut Health Management program is critical in allowing birds to perform to their maximum levels despite gut health challenges. This parasite can have an impact on intestinal integrity and may predispose birds to other intestinal problems. Coccidiosis preventionCoccidiosis is a disease caused by a microscopic intestinal parasite.
As wet litter problems increase, ammonia levels in the barn rise, which can be potentially detrimental to bird health. Without proper management, even in patches, wet litter can serve as a breeding ground for potential pathogens and may be a starting point for intestinal stress that develops and leads to disease. Litter condition and quality have an impact on broiler intestinal health and profitability, starting from when the chicks are placed all the way through production.Wet litter presents a vicious cycle for intestinal health. In addition to standing and resting on the bedding, birds will naturally peck at the litter.
Poultry will generally consume more water than feed. Water managementDrinking water accounts for 70–80 percent of the bird’s daily drinking needs. Too much dusty material may lead to respiratory problems.
Adequate feed access is also achieved by following the feed line manufacturer’s recommendations for the number of birds per feed pan or line of trough feeder.Birds will naturally peck at litter but avoiding “out-of-feed” events helps to reduce the potential for birds to peck excessively at the litter. Proper feeder line height corresponding to the height of the birds helps to reduce feed wastage and mixing feed with litter, and it ensures that all birds have access to feed. Feed managementBirds must have easy access to feed. An abundance of clean water will reduce challenges and maximize performance.Factors to consider when thinking about water management include:Quality, height, pressure, mineral content and accessibilityCleanliness of drinker lines/regulators prior to flock placement and during productionFlushing water lines between flocks and during productionElimination of biofilms and mineral buildupDrinker equipment maintenance 8.
