"three defenses" of raising chickens in summer

1. Anti-moisture:

That is, pay attention to keep the chicken coop and playground dry. The most suitable relative humidity for broilers is 50-70%. When the relative humidity is higher than 70%, the feather adhesion, contamination and arthritis will also increase. Especially in the environment of high temperature and humidity, it is easy for microorganisms to breed and induce the occurrence and spread of diseases. Therefore, the potholes in the playground should be filled up to maintain smooth drainage and rainy weather, especially to keep the chicken coop dry to prevent the breeding of mold.

2. Mosquito and fly prevention:

That is to prevent mosquitoes and flies from invading the chicken body. There are many mosquitoes and flies in summer. In addition to paying attention to the hygiene of the chicken house and sports ground, the weeds around the chicken house should be removed, the sewage trench should be filled up, the screen windows should be nailed in the chicken house, and mosquitoes and flies should be sprayed regularly to ensure a peaceful environment for broilers.

3. Disease prevention:

That is, disease prevention. High temperature will reduce the resistance of broilers, which is prone to coccidiosis, staphylococcosis and so on. Therefore, in addition to adding antibiotics to the feed, it is also necessary to carry out chicken house and chicken disinfection. Disinfection drugs should choose broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, non-toxic and adhesive disinfectants, such as Baiduzhujing, sodium hypochlorite, etc., according to 15 milliliters per square meter for spray, the spray should be 50-80 cm away from the chickens. Under normal circumstances, 1-2 times a week, once in the morning and once in the afternoon in hot days, and the drug concentration will be reduced by 30-50% accordingly.
