If the chicken house is not disinfected, it will provide a good living environment for many pathogenic microorganisms. And now that poultry battery cages are widely used in poultry farms, disinfection of chicken houses has become a top priority.

Disinfection methods commonly used in chicken production

There are generally three methods of disinfection in chicken farms (with chicken disinfection, drinking water disinfection and environmental sanitation disinfection). These three disinfection methods can respectively cut off the transmission routes of various pathogenic microorganisms.

Disinfection with chicken (spray) can kill pathogenic microorganisms in the air of the chicken house, the surface of the chicken body, the ground and the walls. It is of great significance to prevent the infection of chicken respiratory diseases. In addition, the concentration of harmful gases in the chicken house is reduced, and the effect of heatstroke prevention and cooling can be achieved at the same time.

Drinking water disinfection can kill pathogenic microorganisms in the drinking water of chickens and can purify the intestines. Scientific and reasonable disinfection of drinking water can reduce the occurrence of intestinal diseases in chickens, but it has no effect on preventing respiratory diseases, and needs to be combined with chicken (spray) disinfection.

Environmental sanitation and disinfection include disinfection of chicken farm grounds, chicken farm aisles and transportation vehicles. There are many farmers who often drink disinfectant for chickens, thinking that chickens will not develop diseases. In fact, this is a wrong understanding.

Precautions for disinfection of chicken farms with layer cage systems

Disinfection needs to be done continuously. The disinfection of chicken farms is a continuous preventive work, and the disinfection time is uninterrupted. It is better to do it once every 4 to 5 days during the breeding period; it is better to disinfect it once a week during the egg laying period. Drinking water disinfection is generally 1 to 2 times a week, 3 to 4 hours each time. Note that 3 days before and after the epidemic prevention, as well as on the day of epidemic prevention and during the medication period, the drinking water of the chickens cannot be disinfected.

Choose the right sanitizer. Using only one type of disinfectant can easily cause pathogenic bacteria to develop drug resistance, and the same batch of chickens should alternately use disinfectants.

The above are the three methods and precautions for disinfection of poultry farms shared by battery cage manufacturers. I hope there is a place that can help poultry farming friends.
