High humidity is easy to breed bacteria how to manage meat pigeons in rainy season

In the south, the rainy season is long, the humidity is high, and it is easy to breed germs, which leads to the problem of meat pigeon breeding. therefore, a series of measures should be taken to protect the normal growth of meat pigeon and make it through the rainy season safely.

Meat pigeon

Moistureproof: it is cloudy and rainy in the rainy season, which is easy to cause dampness for a long time. The bedding of the pigeon house is easy to be moist and moldy, causing aspergillosis of meat pigeons. Therefore, pigeon dung should be cleaned in time on cloudy and rainy days, and bedding should be changed frequently to keep the pigeon house dry. Meat pigeons like to be dry and afraid of moisture, so they should pay attention to moistureproof. Spread a layer of lime on the floor of the pigeon house and a layer of clean sand on the playground. Often open the doors and windows of the pigeon house to ventilate and reduce the humidity in the house. Once the pigeon house leaks, repair it in time.

Cleaning and disinfection: spray disinfection is generally not suitable in rainy season, because spray disinfection will increase the humidity of pigeon house. Plant ash or quicklime can be sprinkled on the ground and then covered with clean bedding grass. Sweep the column twice a day, once a week, and thoroughly disinfect it with 5% soda water or 10% 20% lime milk once a month. Make sure that inside and outside the pigeon house, feed, drinking water, trough, drinking fountain, tools are clean and hygienic. Adhere to the epidemic prevention system, carefully observe the flock of pigeons every day, find sick pigeons, timely isolation and diagnosis.

Ventilation: rainy weather, through the exhaust fan, the pigeon house of saturated water vapor timely exhaust, pigeon house air fresh, strengthen ventilation. Otherwise, pigeon houses are prone to bacteria or mold, and pigeons are prone to disease.

Controlling the amount of water consumed by meat pigeons: food intake, environmental temperature, meat pigeon body size, activity, egg production and so on will affect the amount of water consumption. The suitable humidity in the house should be 40%-80%. In the rainy season, due to the excessive humidity in the pigeon house, it is easy to inhibit water metabolism in the body. If the amount of drinking water is too large, it is easy to cause enteritis and constantly increase the humidity of the pigeon house. If the humidity is too high, it will make the feathers of meat pigeons dirty, especially at high temperature, which will hinder the evaporation and heat dissipation of meat pigeons, accumulate heat in the body and produce heat radiation disease. At low temperature, the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water vapor in the air increase, and the meat pigeon loses too much heat, which is easy to catch cold and even frostbite.

Focus on prevention and treatment of enteritis, meat pigeon coccidia, aspergillosis:

The main results are as follows: (1) adding appropriate amount of multi-dimension to the feed to enhance the disease resistance of meat pigeons. (2) generally use traditional Chinese medicine to treat enteritis caused by excessive humidity. (3) Anticoccidial drugs are often added to the feed, and the safe and economical effect of diclazuril is selected for prevention (Xinqiubao), 100ml / 150L water. (4) adding 0.04% copper sulfate to the water can prevent mildew. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent feed from damp and mildew. When feeding, attention should be paid to timely elimination of moldy feed.
