0776639643

New born chicks cannot maintain their body temperature due to lack of well developed
body feathers to conserve body heat. So they need artificial heat to maintain body temperature. The management and care of baby chicks is known as brooding.

*Abrooder house:*
A brooder house where young chicks are grown up to 4 - 6 weeks of age.
Preparation of brooder house before arrival of chicks
· Poultry Sheds should be kept vacant for at least three weeks for dry & wet cleaning before arrival of chicks.
· Proper cleaning and disinfection of pen (walls / ceiling / floors) should be done with *viruchoc disinfectant* before arrival of chicks.
· Equipment in the house (feeders, drinkers, brooders) should be cleaned thoroughly with soapand rinsed with *viruchoc disinfectant* and expose to sunlight for 5 days before arrival of chicks.
· Clean and flush out all the water lines before and after disinfection using *decagri* solution if the water system is automated.

*Brooder Management:*
Brooding is the most critical period in rearing of chicks. So, proper brooding management is crucial for achieving efficient growth & body weight and preventing undue mortality of chicks. Brooder space of 450-650 sq.cm is recommended per chick.

*Management of Litter Materials in the brooder house:*
Litter material such as dried sawdust, rice husk or wood shavings should be spread evenly on the floor upto a depth of 2–4 inch and then levelled and compacted in the brooding area. The litter materials should be stirred at regular interval to prevent caking. Wet litter / mouldy litter should be removed immediately with replacement of new litter materials.
Houses should be pre-heated for a sufficient period to achieve target house and litter temperatures prior to chick arrival. The temperature in the poultry house should be monitored regularly for uniformity.
The litter material inside the brooding area should be covered with corrugated paper /old news paper *(brooder paper)* to prevent chicks from eating litter materials. There should be provision of foot dip at entrance of poultry house. The workers and the supervisor must be provided with separate uniform and foot wear for containment of diseases.

A disease is any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury.
We should not as farmers that a disease is a uncertainty that causes *financial headache* to the farmer, ending up consuming the small profits to be gained making the business less profitable to the farmer.
Virus,bacteria and fungi multiply every minute of every hour ,making it risky to the livestock, here is the mistake done unknowingly. Farmers have a tendency of misting the poultry House in periods of stocking new livestock or when selling off livestock leaving the farm in a reckless life.
Here we need to practice biosecurity measures to increase our lifespan in business, and this can be reached on when biosecurity is put in practice.
*Abaffe what's the meaning of biosecurity?*
Biosecurity refers to measures aimed at preventing the introduction and/or spread of harmful organisms (e.g. viruses, bacteria, etc.) ... but this can be done with the help of the best disinfectant *(VIRUCHOC DISINFECTANT)*which leaves no life to harmful bacteria and pathogens.
VIRUCHOC disinfectant we use 30mls per 20ltrs of water in presence of animals and 50mls /20ltrs in absence of animals.

Body weight and uniformity assessment

Monitoring the body weight progression of the birds during the growing and rearing periods is essential to obtain good uniformity. Birds outside the pattern can delay and anticipate the start of egg production, however, in either situation there will be a compromise with the flock performance. To avoid this, our goal is to achieve 80% uniformity, representing an individual weight variation of 10% below and 10% above the average weight. It should be noted that the body development of the layer occurs according to a sequence of events.

Up to 6 weeks of age the organs of the digestive tract and the immune system present much of their development.From 6 to 12 weeks there is a period of rapid growth, a stage in which the hen obtains most of the adult growth, i.e: Muscular growth, bone and feather development, with 95% of the skeleton developing at the end 12 weeks.

Therefore, good production practices should be put in place from incubation to the rearing and production phases.

For this reason, it is essential that the flock is healthy and the feed supply, water and temperature levels, trough space, beak trimming, and density are all adequate.

When the flock is uniform, there is the guarantee of:

A good production peakHigher egg massGreater persistenceA uniform egg size

Beak trimming

Due to increased production, laying birds are more susceptible to aggressiveness and cannibalism. The manifestation of this type of behavior can be associated with:

Beak shapeLight intensityGenetic predisposition for aggressionAgeNutritionDensity in the cage or floorBird hierarchy within the group

Beak trimming, in addition to avoiding cannibalism, is a management practice that reduces mortality and productive performance of birds and provides better usage of the feed.

The loss of feathers resulting from aggression within the flock can cause both economic problems for the producer and welfare problems for the birds.

The economic loss is due to the fact that the removal of feathers leads to problems in maintaining body temperature, leading to an increase in feed consumption, as well as pecked eggs in some cases.

Stress, resulting from the wrong procedure and failure to trim beaks, can affect the initial production of eggs. For this reason, this is considered a precision operation where the experience of the team that performs it is a key feature for its success.

Feeding

Nowadays, it is common to observe the launching of laying hens in the market with high production rates and persistence of production together with a low feed consumption. As a consequence, the birds became more demanding and show difficulty in gaining weight.

The growing and rearing phases are responsible for the good or bad development of the birds, and may be influenced by various factors, which interfere with feed consumption, such as:

EnvironmentLine genetics, where there are specific peculiaritiesHealthNutritional requirement

These factors are interrelated and their effects on birds are interdependent, for example: improper placement of layers can influence the body weight of the birds, which affects the productive period and the weight of the eggs. The feeding programs are part of the factors that provide a good uniformity to the batch, their function is:

Adapt nutrient levels according to the age and development of birdsProvide adequate amounts according to requirementOptimize costsReduce excess nutrients and reduce excretion of unused nutrients

In order for the feeding program to be adequate, it is necessary to know the main nutritional aspects of each stage of development of the layers. This practice will give the producer autonomy on the decisions to be made based on the age and weight of the flock, in which nutritional levels can be reduced or increased and feed intake can be regulated according to the requirements of the birds.

Light program

Various environmental factors play important roles in controlling the biological functions of birds, light being one of them. Programs with artificial lighting have been used in the production of layers, and breeding stock, to perfect weight gain, control age by delaying the sexual maturity of chickens by stimulating the reproductive system in the appropriate period. From there the objective is to stimulate egg production and synchronize laying and thus:

Increasing the production of eggs in the first phase of production, improving the number of hatching eggs, increasing the size of the first eggs and reducing overweight birds due to excessive storage of fat, since the feeding surplus in this phase is for maintenance and production.

The choice of bulb type will depend on many factors, such as cost, durability, maintenance, and efficiency. In practical terms, incandescent and fluorescent bulbs are used because they have greater intensity and durability, less maintenance, and less energy expenditure.

In the case of a change in feed quality, it should be taken into account that, in order to have good production rates, it is necessary that the practices of temperature control, housing density, body weight evaluation, uniformity, beak trimming, feeding and light program are applied correctly. These actions serve to favor the suitable development and growth of the birds, as well as allow good productive indexes in the laying phase and thus guaranteeing a successful outcome.

Did you know that you can out come Gumboro disease in your flock.
Gumboro disease: What is it and how to prevent it?

Gumboro disease is an avian pathology of viral origin that affects young poultry and can have high mortality. How to prevent and control it?

What is Gumboro disease?

Gumboro disease has also been called Bursa of Fabricius disease because it is the target organ of the virus. This pathology is caused by a virus of the Birnaviridae family, genus Avibirnavirus.

Domestic fowl are the natural hosts of the disease and develop the clinical form of the viral disease. However, ducks and turkeys can also become infected.

Epidemiology of this avian pathology

Gumboro virus disease is distributed worldwide and causes great economic losses to the poultry industry in many countries. Its impact lies in the marked mortality and immunosuppression of infected poultry. Immunosuppression is a condition generated by the virus that predisposes poultry to become ill and die from other infectious agents.
For this reason, biosecurity measures and vaccination have been the main strategy for the global control of Gumboro disease. The virus presents certain resistance to environmental conditions such as heat at 60°C for one hour, making it difficult to control by this method.
Currently, it is a disease of great importance due to the emergence of highly virulent strains that produce clinical cases in vaccinated animals.

Gumboro disease affects mainly young poultry that still has the Bursa of Fabricius. It is important to remember that poultry between 2 to 6 weeks of life still have this immune organ and present a marked activity. Therefore, they are susceptible to infection and the development of this viral disease. Birds older than 8 weeks rarely develop Gumboro disease, although cases may occur if the strain involved is highly virulent.
Symptomatology of Gumboro disease

The symptomatology of this avian pathology depends on the strain involved, the breed of the poultry, the age, and the immune status of the animals. The damage generated in the Bursa of Fabricius is severe and permanent, which leads the poultry to have immunosuppression. This immune deficiency makes the poultry susceptible to infections such as Salmonella spp., E. Coli, Coccidiosis, Adenovirus, Mycoplasma, among others. In addition, they do not respond adequately to vaccinations.
How to prevent Gumboro disease?

The control and prevention of Gumboro disease has two main axes: vaccination and biosecurity. Due to the nature of the virus and its resistance to the environment, it is difficult to control; it can resist up to four months in the environment.
Vaccination is carried out in chicks during the first weeks of life. In addition, passive immunity of the chicks through the egg must be guaranteed. For this purpose, mothers are vaccinated with the inactivated virus at 18 weeks of life and revaccinated annually. This generates antibodies that can be transferred to the chicks.

For vaccines, it is recommended to use highly attenuated strains to achieve effective immunity and avoid risks of subclinical presentation of the disease.

Biosecurity in poultry is an indispensable element to minimize the impact of viruses. The all-in-all-out principle is a biosecurity component that ensures keeping the virus out of the premises and preventing its circulation. On the other hand, Good Poultry Husbandry Practices have key tips at every stage of production to control viruses.
when I talk about Biosecurity. It must runs 🏃‍♀️ to *Viruchoc disinfectant*, nothing is termed as biosecurity without Viruchoc disinfectant.

*Viruchoc disinfectant* is the most highly concentrated liquid that kills all viruses bacterias and un needed micro-organisms.

for emerging circumstances in Gumboro cases endeavour to use *SANGROVIT WS* , it stimulates the immune system of the bird if infected with the virus

Brooding isn't the most challenging period in poultry rearing. Every stage in poultry is crucial and delicate so careness is needed.

Poultry production involves several stages before poultry products reach consumers, including the rearing of these birds from hatch to peak performance and the subsequent harvesting and processing of broilers and eggs.
In modern poultry farming, the basic objective is the need to house birds that can show their full productive potential during the laying period. Success at this point occurs due to high productivity rates that are influenced by genetics, nutrition, environment, and management.

However, the proper management of poultry activity must be linked to a proportionate administration to achieve the best technical and economic results within that farm. For this to happen, we must properly plan for the facilities, the ambient temperature, the feeding of the layers and all the factors related to the uniformity of the batch.

Temperature

The layer is a homeothermal animal, so the temperature of the environment is a parameter related to thermal comfort, being the thermoneutral zone necessary for the bird to express its full genetic potential and to make better use of nutritional strategies.

Environmental temperature is a very important factor that can affect the performance of laying birds. High temperatures 🌡 cause:

Production losses, with reduction in the thickness of the shell, providing the incidence and contamination by bacteria and / or coliformsWeight loss of egg componentsPoor egg formationReduction in lay rate

Heat stress, depending on the magnitude and duration, can cause high mortality rates. During the growing and rearing periods, the influence of the ambient temperature results in a reduction of the voluntary ingestion in the birds, which promotes the decrease in the intake of nutrients, directly affecting the productivity of the flock, culminating in the reduction of the increase weight and fat storage. This is detrimental to the uniformity of the flock at the start of lay.

Cold stress also impairs flock uniformity, due to increased feed consumption to increase catabolism and endogenous heat production.

Housing density

High density in cages has become increasingly prevalent in commercial layers, as a way to reduce housing and equipment costs per bird. However, the reduction of the cage area per bird, as well as the feeder and drinking area; when practiced in excess, can have a negative effect on the growth and performance of the layer. The latter causes a decline in feed consumption and, consequently, in the reduction of the live weight and in the muscular and skeletal development of the bird.

All-in all-out systems (AIAO)
*VET VICTOR*
0706276412
0776639643
0760134953

*NOTE* that *AIAO system* can also do well in poultry.
In AIAO systems, pigs of the same age (within two weeks) or class are housed together in a room or shed (age-segregated rearing) and arrive and leave about the same time. They may be weaners, growers or finishers, or may be sows due to farrow during the same week. The essential points of an AIAO system are that:

all pigs are removed from the room or shed before the next group of pigs move in

the facilities are thoroughly cleaned between batches.

Cleaning is one of the most significant factors affecting the improved growth rates and reduced levels of disease associated with AIAO production. A high-pressure hose can be used to thoroughly clean the space for the next batch, without the risk of wetting pigs or spreading micro-organisms to other pigs.
Another advantage of AIAO is that fewer pigs share the same air space i.e. stocking density (pigs/m3 airspace). As air currents transfer micro-organisms from one pen to another, reducing the number of pigs in any particular air space can slow disease spread. Increased stocking density results in increased dust and bacteria levels, increased disease levels, and reduced growth rates.
A major aim of age-segregated rearing is to reduce the contaimination level in the shed to below the infective dose for each disease (so that the pig does not become sick), to eliminate contact between groups of pigs and to limit the stress on the pigs i.e. to improve the level of hygiene, air quality and temperature control.

All-in, all-out systems keep pigs together in groups as they move through the phases of production. The groups are closely matched by age, weight, production stage and condition. Animals from different groups are not mixed during their stay on the farm. Each group is moved into a phase of production together, such as from farrowing house into an empty nursery. When a group moves forward, the facility is completely emptied and cleaned ready for the next group.

By comparison, in a continuous-flow system, sows are bred and farrow continuously. The pigs move through the system as individuals, not closely matched age groups. Housing is never totally emptied because pigs or sows are always moving through it.

Practicalities

Whether an all-in, all-out system involves the whole of the facility or by house will depend on the size of the farm. For very large producers these systems can make sense, as they have pigs at different ages, although kept entirely separate, perhaps even on different sites. This means that staff time and responsibilities can be divided according to life stage. However, for a small farm it can mean that the labor intensive farrowing stage, for example, happens all at once.

Managing all-in, all-out systems on outdoor pig units can also be a challenge. In order to keep groups separate they may need to employ double lines of electric fencing around paddocks or other physical barriers to avoid nose-to-nose contact. Although the areas will be rested between groups

whenever practicing the *AIAO* system , biosecurity is pivotal in order to keep the health of pigs 🐖. For this case please endeavour to use *VIRUCHOC DISINFECTANT*

*HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY AMMONIA CONCENTRATION IN YOUR LIVESTOCK ⁉️*

0706276412
0776639643
0760134953

AMMONIA EXPOSURE
Ammonia is a gas. It is highly soluble in water when it comes in contact with the inner lining (mucous
membrane) of the respiratory tract following inhalation, or in contact with the eyes. It dissolves in the mucus (liquid produced by the mucous membrane) and produces a highly irritating chemical substance ammonium hydroxide, which produces very damaging effects.
Ammonia production in a poultry shed depends on:
I. Inadequate ventilation. Improper ventilation can lead to wet litter. Ammonia fumes develop in wet
litter and droppings.
2. Wet litter (increased moisture). When litter moisture is between 20 - 25%, ammonia is usually not
produced. Ammonia production starts when moisture exceeds 30% and increases further as the
temperature rises. Wet litter exposes to more coccidiosis.
*Harmful Effects of Ammonia on your chicken flock*
I. Ammonia damages the respiratory system and thus predisposes to infections, such as E.. coli infection,
infectious coryza, and Ranikhet disease.
2. Decreases growth rate.
3. Ammonia also reduces body weight and feed efficiency.
4. Ammonia reduces feed consumption and growth rate. Egg production could also be affected.
Ammonia, in concentration of I 50 ppm and above, sometimes causes 'ammonia blindness' in broilers, also
known as 'ammonia burn'. It is caused by ammonia fumes coming out from poorly managed litter
in an ill-ventilated house.
Symptoms
Affected birds keep their eyes closed, stand depressingly with ruffled feathers, and are reluctant to move. The condition usually affects both eyes. Affected birds do not eat and become
weak.
Prevention
I . Ensure proper ventilation.
2. Ensure proper litter management.
3. Spray the litter materials with *DETRIL ODOR* it reduces ammonia levels in your poultry flock.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE THE PEN LITTER?

There are no defined days on when the litter should be changed. However, we can consider the following major 6 factors when changing it;

 Weather or environmental conditions.
 Ammonia concentration and smell in the coop.
 Number of birds, coop space size and quality of feeds used.
 Level and Quantity of litter used in coop space.
 Existence of flies in the Poultry coop.
 Use of odor control chemicals.

Note:
Birds droppings have got ammonia in
them, the typical smell like that of human urine that has been kept for something like 2 days, To keep the coop clean, sprinkling *dry care powder* and *detril odor* on your coop floor can help reduce odors. Just like baking soda, *dry care powder* is alkaline and therefore will absorb and help neutralize the humidity levels in your poultry coop

1. What's that only rat poison that gives results 🤔 ⁉️
2. How does it work ❔
3. How do I used it❔
Answers are
Qn1.
▪︎Brodifacoum pellets is the best and superious rodent poison ever. Don't be scammed by fraudsters. These pellets talk for them selves ,they are pink in colour, pellet form (bagiya) ,they produce their own scent, and they must contain a distributor name as *(VETAVIANA SERVICES)*
QN2.
▪︎BRODIFACOUM PELLETS produces an attractive redolence that lives every rodent investigating where the redolence could be fumigating from. 🐀

▪︎Brodifacoum pellets cause blood clotting in any invading rodent that may take a taste on the pellet.
You should take note of this, our clients did you know that the rodent that have tasted the pellet dies and their are no loose ends 🤔 .*(RATS DIE BUT THEY LEAVE NO EVIDENCE, TEZIWUNYA BUT THEY DRY UP WITHOUT SMELLING)*

▪︎Since Brodifacoum pellets cause dehydration and thirsty in rodents that have tasted 😋, but though a rat 🐀 drinks full 20ltrs of water and milk 🥛 it will still kick the bucket 🪣 😅. *( Brodifacoum the best)*

QN3.

▪︎This is the most challenging part in all though it's simple and interesting 👏 👍.
Since rats 🐀 are pedestrians no vehicles, trap in their most used path way.

When trapping the poison , it should be out of reach of children and your livestock, design a small box composing of inlets and outlet holes to enable rats enter eat from there and go .

We are all notified by the rat's feeding points. Rats eat on animal and poultry feed, they feed on eggs, they also feed on rubbish pits , so trap the poison near their feeding points their will definitely consume the pellets due to their redolence.

Afarmer hates it when his or her flock is sick especially from a disease or condition that is persistent. The disease which of a great economic importance in our country is Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD).

CRD is a mycoplasmal disease, caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. M. Gallisepticum causes a Respiratory disease, affecting the entire Respiratory tract, particularly the airsacs where it localizes. All airsacs may be involved because cloudy in appearance and filled with mucus. In the later stages , mucus develops a yellow colour and cheesy consistency.

M.gallisepticum infection is extremely important both in broiler and layers . While it's not a great killer. Affected laying flocks have been shown to produce as many as 20 fewer eggs per year than normal flocks. Also it is an important egg-transmitted disease.

The disease is characterized by abnormal Respiratory sounds, coughing and nasal discharge. Symptoms are usually slow to develop and the disease has along course. Complicated CRD (CCRD) , also known as airsac disease is a severe airsacculitis, which occurs when M. Gallisepticum infection gets complicated by E.coli and some Respiratory virus infections.

CRD spreads through the following ways

-Infection is usually transmitted through the hatching egg. This is the major means of spread.

-carrier birds 🐦 are responsible for transmitting the disease. Direct contact of susceptible birds 🐦 with the infected carrier chickens causes outbreaks of the disease

-Spread may also occur by contaminated dust, droplets, or feathers carried through the air.

-People are important carriers.

Ways through which a farmer can Identify M.gallisepticum

I. In adult flocks symptoms include abnormal respiratory sounds, nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, and
breathing through the open beak. Feed consumption is reduced and birds lose weight.

2. In laying flocks, egg production decreases, and the disease is usually more severe during winter.

3. In young chicks there is rattling, sneezing, and sniffing, all indicative of a respiratory difficulty.

4. In broilers, most outbreaks occur between 4 and 8 weeks of age.

5. However, the appearance of disease depends, as already mentioned, on the presence at the same time of
other disease-producing organisms, or stress factors. Uncomplicated infections usually cause no
symptoms, or cause mortality only in the very young.

Treatment can be provided to the flock:
M. gallisepticum is susceptible to several antibiotics
*Respir fresh* shouldn't be left out, add it together with antibiotics for effective treatment.

Dear farmers remember that control and prevention is better than cure.

♡ Treatment is only a temporary solution and is usually quite expensive. Removal of infection is the most satisfactory means of control .

♡ Since M. gallisepticum is transmitted through eggs, maintaining chicken flocks free of M. gallisepticum is only possible by obtaining replacement flocks that are known to be free of the infection, and rearing
them in strict isolation to avoid introduction of the disease.
