What to pay attention to when raising partridges
1. Strictly implement hygiene and epidemic prevention systems. Partridge farms should establish hygiene and epidemic prevention systems and carry out comprehensive epidemic prevention measures. The content of comprehensive epidemic prevention includes the selection of the site, the design, construction and layout of the partridge house, scientific feeding and management, provision of nutritionally complete feed, cultivation of healthy breeding partridge flocks, maintenance of a clean rearing environment, timely and planned vaccination, and scientific immunization procedures, etc.
2. Frequently replace the disinfectant in the disinfection pool at the entrance of the partridge farm or the entrance to the production area. Non-production personnel must not enter the production area. Strictly implement the hygiene and epidemic prevention requirements for breeding eggs and the hatchery.
Emergency measures when an infectious disease occurs at a partridge farm
1. Breeders should frequently go to the partridge house to observe the health status of the partridge flock. Once an abnormality is found, after preliminary examination, if a certain infectious disease is suspected, measures such as isolation, diagnosis, treatment or emergency vaccination should be taken immediately. Achieve early discovery, early diagnosis, and early handling.
2. When a highly infectious disease is found, the site must be immediately sealed off and decisive measures taken to stamp out the epidemic.
3. Sick partridge houses and the equipment used must be thoroughly cleaned (washed) and strictly disinfected. Feces and pollutants should be piled up for fermentation treatment. Culled sick partridges or dead partridges must be burned or buried in specially dedicated deep pits.
