Matters needing attention in adding drugs to livestock and poultry feed

Livestock and poultry breeding

Targeted administration of drugs. The drugs added to the feed should be administered according to the breed, age and growth stage of the livestock and poultry. Young, old and weak livestock, poultry and females should choose drugs with less sensitivity, lower toxicity and less dosage. The drugs added in the formula feed should choose antimicrobials and insect repellents that are easily absorbed by the stomach and intestines, while penicillin, which is easily destroyed by digestive juices, should not be added.

Tell whether the medicine is real or not. When purchasing drugs, it is necessary to identify the authenticity, do not buy no trademark, no manufacturer, no approval number and expired drugs. Drugs that are moldy, spoiled and odorous can not be used. Don't buy too much medicine at one time, you should buy and use it now.

Pay attention to the incompatibility. Generally speaking, the goal can be achieved by adding one drug, so do not use two drugs. If you use two or more drugs, you should pay attention to incompatibility, such as pepsin can not be used with alkaline drugs, antibiotics should be cross-used to prevent bacteria from producing drug resistance.

The dose should be accurate. First of all, we should determine whether the added drugs are for preventive or therapeutic use, and determine the dosage according to the individual differences of livestock and poultry. Generally speaking, prophylaxis requires only half of the treatment or even 1 to 4. At the same time, the use of some drugs with obvious drug residues, such as gram ball powder, should be prohibited to prevent future problems.

Mix the medicine well. The proportion of drugs in feed is relatively small, so it should be pre-mixed with a small amount to make it mix well, so as to avoid excessive consumption of livestock and poultry and cause poisoning. Feed with drugs should be used now.
