1. When mixing drugs with water or feed, the amount of medicated water or feed should be properly controlled so that it can be consumed within 2 hours. When mixing medication, the drug and feed should be evenly blended; when using injectable drugs, the volume of liquid per injection: young poultry no more than 0.2 ml, growing poultry no more than 0.5 ml, and adult poultry no more than 1.5 ml. 2. When using antibiotic drugs, the first dose should be doubled. During treatment, generally 3-4 drugs with different antibacterial spectra can be selected to broaden the bactericidal range. For preventive medication, only one drug is needed.

3. Do not change drugs frequently. Only if the same drug has been used for 2-3 consecutive days without effect should a new treatment plan be considered.

4. Each antibiotic should not be used alone for a long time, otherwise drug-resistant bacterial strains are very likely to develop.

5. After poultry are infected by pathogenic bacteria, due to reduced resistance, there may sometimes be varying degrees of secondary viral infection. Therefore, while using antibacterial drugs, antiviral drugs can be added.

6. While treating, adverse factors causing the disease should be eliminated. Such as excessive stocking density, temperature and humidity being too high or too low, poor air quality, and other adverse factors.

7. When spraying disinfectants in poultry houses or disinfecting with poultry present, respiratory diseases are easily induced. Therefore, poultry should be given drugs to prevent respiratory diseases.
