How to Control Avian Influenza in Chicken Farm

Nowadays, there are often some viral infections in chicken breeding, the most common of which is bird flu. However, there are also many types of avian influenza, such as the current pre-H7N9 influenza and previous avian influenza viruses such as H5N1, H7N1, H7N2 and so on. Different bird flu viruses and their effects on different breeds of chickens will also be different, so how do chicken farms generally prevent and control bird flu? The editor has sorted out the following points for you. Let's take a look at them.

1. Maintain good ventilation in the farm.

Maintaining good ventilation in chicken farms is an easy-to-ignore detail in preventing bird flu. The main performance is when the climate is relatively cold, while keeping warm, we also need to pay attention to proper indoor ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh to avoid infection with bacteria, and cold prevention is also necessary to avoid influenza caused by a cold.

2. Keep the farm clean and hygienic

Sanitary cleaning of chicken farms is also very necessary. Because chicken manure and some food residues have been piled up for a long time, but not treated in time, a large number of bacteria will grow after fermentation, and chickens basically move in this environment, leading to bacterial infection. it is also very possible to trigger a new type of bird flu. Basically, we have to clean up at least every three to five days or so in order to keep the farm clean and avoid unnecessary losses.

3. Do a good job of disinfection and sterilization

The sanitary treatment of the farm is not a simple cleaning, in which the work of disinfection and sterilization is also very important. Many chicken farms are cleaned every day, but eventually lead to bird flu, a large part of the reason is that the chicken farms are not disinfected. In order to avoid the occurrence of bird flu, chicken farms usually need to be thoroughly disinfected every 15 to 20 days.

4. do a good job in vaccine prevention and control measures.

Vaccine control measures run through the whole breeding process. First of all, the farms need to have a special vaccine for the prevention and treatment of bird flu, and then the selection and purchase of the vaccine should be formal, and then the injection of the vaccine should also follow the formal process, which is the best way to deal with it. In normal feeding, we can mix an appropriate amount of antibiotics in the feed to enhance the resistance of chickens, at the same time, we can also inject vaccines from time to time to form antibodies in the chicken body to achieve the effect of immunity.

5. Isolation treatment

We all know that bird flu is very contagious, so it should be quarantined in time when the outbreak of bird flu is found. In general, the symptoms of bird flu are very similar to those of the common cold. as long as similar symptoms are found, they can be isolated, and then diagnosed and finally treated, which can stop the loss to a large extent.

At present, it is also a season for frequent occurrence of bird flu, so chicken farmers should be more careful when raising chickens. The recent weather changes are relatively large, pay attention to keep warm and cold measures, so as not to cause a cold, at the same time, buds should be prepared for vaccine prevention. The above is what the editor shared with you today about how to prevent and control bird flu in chicken farms. I hope it will be helpful to you.
