Many farmers use chicken raising equipment to raise chickens. But the chicken coop should be disinfected frequently. Otherwise, it is easy to cause the chicken to get sick and die. And the waste, eggshells, fluff and so on from the hatchery. Coupled with the temperature and humidity conditions during incubation, it is also a good environment for its reproduction and growth. If you do not pay attention to the strict disinfection of the hatchery environment, incubators and breeding eggs. Avoid the epidemic and occurrence of diseases.
The environment of the breeding farm should be disinfected once a week. Commonly used disinfection drugs are: caustic soda, peracetic acid, prosthetic acid, etc., and the use concentrations are 1%, 0.3%-0.5%, and 5% respectively. Spray the disinfectant on the water according to the above-mentioned use concentration. The hatchery should be kept clean. It is strictly forbidden for non-staff in the hatchery to enter the incubator. Workers should also undergo strict disinfection and change clothes before entering the hatchery.
Formaldehyde fumigation is often used for disinfection. Generally, 42 milliliters of formaldehyde solution and 21 grams of potassium permanganate are used per cubic meter of space, and the fumigation is sealed for about 30 minutes at a temperature of 20 to 2490 and a relative humidity of 70% to 80%.
The sterilization of the breeding eggs is as early as possible after the chicken body is produced. However, the centralized disinfection after collecting the eggs is often used in production. There are many disinfection methods and disinfectants used, but the most commonly used is fumigation with formaldehyde. The dosage is 28 milliliters of formaldehyde per cubic meter of space, 14 grams of potassium permanganate, and fumigation for 20-30 minutes. Special attention should be paid to: The embryos of hatching eggs that are incubated for 24-% hours are very sensitive to formaldehyde. Do not use formaldehyde fumigation at this time. If disinfection is necessary, replace them with other disinfectants.
Formaldehyde gas has a strong irritation to the mucous membrane of animals, so you should pay attention to your own protection when using it. After each disinfection, the formaldehyde gas in the incubator and the breeding egg store should be quickly removed. Some hatcheries have tried formaldehyde fumigation of chicks just out of their shells to control Marek’s disease and pullorum. Production practice has proved that the method of raising chickens with chicken raising equipment is not easy to control due to the concentration of formaldehyde and fumigation environmental conditions. A little carelessness will cause the chicks to become blind, so it is not recommended to use it.
