- Monday, February 04, 2019
There are many factors like selection of good chicks, location of farm and labour in the eggs production, but where most farmers get it wrong is in the aspect of poultry health management which is the major function of proper medication and vaccination schedule. Below is the schedule you can follow as guide based on your experience in poultry farming:
Day 1 -- Multivitamins/glucose
Day 2-5 -- Antibiotics and multivitamins
Day 6 -- Multivitamins
Day 7 -- LaSota vaccine
Day 8 -- Multivitamins
Day 9-12 -- Anticoccidial drug
Day 13 -- Multivitamins
Day 14 -- Gumboro vaccine
Day 15 -- Multivitamins
Day 16-20 -- Antibiotics + Vitamins
Day 21 -- Gumboro (booster) vaccine
Day 28 -- LaSota (booster) vaccine
Week 5 -- Tyloxine based drug (as antiviral)
Week 6 -- 1st deworming
Week 8 -- Antibiotics drugs
Week 9 -- 1st coryza
Week 12 -- Lasota
Week 13 -- 2nd coryza
Week 14 -- 2nd deworming
Week 15 -- Lasota
Week 17 -- Antibiotics
Week 18 -- Deworming
In between the weeks, you need touch alternating between antibiotic, antiviral and Anticoccidial treatments. In some cases, you can give them only clean water if there's no disease symptoms. Give the birds enough feed and water to yield optimum performance.
Give your birds Lasota once in a month, you can also be deworming your birds every 4 to 6 weeks depending on the symptoms. If the weather condition is harsh try and use Multivitamins/Electrolytes . Your birds need multivitamin a day before and a day after vaccination to ease their stress. Manage the litters during brooding to avoid disease outbreak. Consistent strong biosecurity should be practiced to generally control diseases and infections.
