How to Do a Good Job in Sanitation and Epidemic Prevention for Greenhouse Duck Farming
Greenhouse duck farming is a relatively popular farming method at present. The main reason is that the site cost of greenhouse construction is much lower than the cost of building a farmhouse, and both the farming scale and the farming area can be expanded. However, when using greenhouses for farming, sanitation management and disease prevention and control are very critical, so we need to establish a comprehensive sanitation and epidemic prevention process and preparatory work. Today, let's take a look with the editor at how greenhouse duck farming does a good job in sanitation and epidemic prevention.
1. Greenhouse disinfection
When building the greenhouse, we can disinfect the greenhouse in advance. This is because the purchased greenhouse may carry a lot of bacteria. If it is not disinfected, then after the ducklings are put into the house, it will cause bacterial infection, leading to disease among the ducklings and large-scale death. Generally, a disinfection spray can be used to disinfect the greenhouse, not missing any detail, and the greenhouse can only be assembled after the smell of the disinfectant has completely dissipated.
2. Duck house disinfection
After the greenhouse is built, the duck house needs to be disinfected. If we have not done much treatment to the selected duck farming site, then it will more or less contain some bacteria, pathogens, and the like. Generally, formalin can be used for disinfection, or potassium permanganate mixed with water and formaldehyde can be used for disinfection. During disinfection, the temperature of the duck house should be around 18 degrees, and ventilation should be maintained at the same time. It is fine once the smell has dissipated.
3. Duckling disinfection
Ducklings should generally be purchased from regular farms, so that the ducklings bought back will be guaranteed. At the same time, when buying ducklings, do not seek cheap prices and buy ducklings from epidemic areas. Although the ducklings are bought from regular places and are relatively high-quality and healthy ducklings, in order to avoid risks in the future, before the ducklings enter the farm, they should be disinfected. Because ducklings are relatively fragile, toxic substances naturally cannot be used for disinfection. Generally, some glucose water, anti-stress electrolytes, vitamins, probiotics, and the like are used to achieve the effect of strengthening the physique and disinfecting, and to improve the survival rate.
4. Daily management
In the process of greenhouse duck farming, daily management is very important for preventing the occurrence of diseases. We should irregularly clean up the feces, food residues, bedding, and wastewater in the farming greenhouse. Feces and bedding are generally cleaned about once every three days, while food residues and wastewater need to be cleaned every day. About every half month, carry out a thorough disinfection of the greenhouse, including the feed troughs and water troughs. Finally, according to the different growth stages of the ducks, control the temperature, humidity, density, air, and so on in the farming greenhouse. Feed should be high-quality feed, and antibiotics can be added to the feed to prevent diseases.
5. Vaccination
Vaccination is the most effective method for preventing infectious diseases in ducks. For ordinary farmers, they all understand that at certain specific times, ducks need to be vaccinated to ensure the healthy growth of the ducks. At the same time, antibodies can be formed in the ducks' bodies, so that when a disease breaks out, immunity can be produced and thus no impact will be caused. For example, one-day-old ducklings are injected with attenuated duck viral hepatitis vaccine, four-to-five-day-old ducklings are injected with the combined vaccine for duck infectious serositis and Escherichia coli, and week-old ducks are injected with attenuated duck plague vaccine.
