Successful Poultry Health Management
Maintaining the health of your poultry flock requires a comprehensive approach covering several key areas:
1. Biosecurity
Biosecurity is the first line of defense against disease. This includes restricting access to houses, disinfecting equipment and vehicles, and limiting contact with outside birds.
2. Vaccination Program
Follow a regular vaccination schedule under the supervision of a specialized veterinarian to protect your flock from common diseases like Newcastle and Gumboro.
3. Proper Nutrition
Provide balanced feed that meets the needs of poultry at each growth stage.
4. Daily Monitoring
Monitor birds daily and look for early signs of disease such as decreased appetite or behavioral changes.
