Why should broiler farming pay attention to disinfection?
No matter what you farm, disinfection work is essential, and broiler farming is no exception.
Before the chicks arrive, the coop must be disinfected. Fumigation disinfection is generally used for coop disinfection. Feed troughs and drinking water utensils can simply be disinfected with disinfectant solution, or they can be placed inside the coop for fumigation disinfection. If this is not the first time farming, then coop disinfection starts from the moment the chickens are sent to market. After broilers are sent to market, there are many pathogenic microorganisms inside and outside the broiler house, so a thorough cleaning and disinfection must be carried out. Disinfect the floor, walls and surrounding areas of the broiler house, gather all manure into piles and let it ferment, and clean and disinfect all farming tools with chemicals. Before disinfection, the coop should first be swept and washed, and organic waste should be cleaned up thoroughly so as to improve the disinfection effect.
Routine disinfection can also be understood as regular disinfection. There is no strict standard for how long the interval between disinfections should be, but increasing the frequency of disinfection is necessary. During disinfection, attention should be paid to rotating the use of disinfectant drugs, so as to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from developing drug resistance and tolerance. Large-scale farms generally have strict disinfection systems and measures, while ordinary farmers raise fewer birds, so disinfecting once a week is recommended.
Emergency disinfection when an epidemic occurs. Once it is confirmed that the flock has an infectious disease, in addition to effective isolation, disinfection is necessary and must be done quickly. Quickly clear away all feed, drinking water and manure, and carry out emergency disinfection; when necessary, feed and drinking water must also be disinfected. If an infectious disease occurs at broiler farms or households outside the site, thorough booster vaccination and disinfection work are also needed.
