Doing a good job in feeding management is to improve the quality of the whole flock, maintain a healthy physical state and enhance the body's resistance to diseases. So the work to be done can be summarized as three aspects:
First, it is rich in nutrition. According to the age, variety, type, weight and use of chickens, it is fed with complete mixed feed to meet their needs for various nutrients.
Second, carefully feed, do not feed moldy, rancid and rotten materials, do not drink dirty and toxic water, and control the disease from the mouth.
The third is to create an environment, strive to keep the living environment of chickens relatively stable, and require indoor air circulation, reasonable density and appropriate temperature and humidity. Clean frequently, eliminate waste and control pollution. All employees strictly abide by the established feeding management system. Foreigners refuse to visit for fear of bringing bacteria in.
Any chicken farm must establish a series of strict epidemic prevention systems and formulate scientific immunization procedures, strengthen health management, cut off transmission routes and eliminate pathogenic factors. This requires the following measures.
Specialization of production: It is best to keep only the same breed of chickens in a chicken farm. For example, Sha Yi laying hens farm only raises Issa laying hens and does not raise other kinds of laying hens; You can also only raise chickens of the same age and breed in the henhouse.
"all-in and all-out" system: all-in means that only chickens of the same age are raised in the same henhouse; Chickens in the same henhouse are all sold or eliminated at the same time. This system is conducive to the implementation of feeding management and technical measures, the thorough cleaning and disinfection of chicken houses and utensils, and the "clean start" of each batch of chickens.

Avoid cross-infection: chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys or other livestock and poultry cannot be raised together, otherwise some diseases will be difficult to control.
Reasonable structure of henhouse: different types of henhouse (such as hen henhouse, broiler henhouse, chicken henhouse or breeder henhouse, etc.). ) should be as far away as possible in the same chicken farm, and the distance between chicken houses should meet the health and epidemic prevention standards.
Establish a health card: each batch or henhouse should fill in a health card, which lists the variety, incubation date, transfer times and time, preventive administration or vaccination date, vaccine type, onset time, symptoms, causes and treatment results, so as to master the health status, disease types and incidence laws of each batch or henhouse.
Eliminate sick chickens in time: sick chickens are extremely dangerous sources of infection, so we should correctly identify them and eliminate them in time. Strict treatment of sick and dead chickens is of great significance to maintaining the health of the whole group of chickens.
Selecting drugs to kill mold: disinfection and sterilization with drugs is a routine work in chicken farms. All personnel entering the production area, chicken coops and all chicken-related equipment and appliances are disinfection targets. Cleaning first, then applying medicine, the effect is better.
Quarantine and immunization: these two tasks should be carried out regularly. Eliminating sick chickens through quarantine can also prevent exotic chickens from entering the market with diseases. According to the immunization program, chickens can be vaccinated regularly to gain immunity to certain diseases. For example, inoculation with Xincheng vaccine can prevent the occurrence of chicken plague.
Regular deworming: once infected with parasites, chickens grow slowly, lay fewer eggs, become emaciated and weak, consume more substances, and even die in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly expel insects, especially flat chickens, such as using drugs to prevent chicken coccidiosis.
Preventive medication: purposefully add a proper amount of a drug to the diet or drinking water to enhance the body's resistance and prevent certain diseases; Or preventive administration for a period of time according to epidemic information to avoid the occurrence of diseases.
