Technical raising backyard chickens

Chicken towards bio security (biosecurity) to ensure the safety of the disease and ensure sanitation and disinfection work so disinfected must be done regularly. Before raising steam spray to disinfect cages prescribed. During the weekly livestock pens and spray the entire area around (except feeders, drinking troughs) 1 times. Spray from week 1 to week 10 with a solution of 2.5 ml DONACIDE / 1 liter of water at the sun.
1. Preparation of culture conditions
Before bringing about raising chickens need to fully prepare all material conditions, techniques such as:
- Barns, blinds, bamboo woven strapless, shooting heating, troughs, drinking troughs. All must be sterilized before use 5-7 days.
- Prepare adequate food, veterinary drugs, vaccines required for chickens.
- Barns to ensure a cool summer, warm in winter closed.
- Flooring correct technical design, tall and drainage.
- Quality Bedding: husk, clean shavings, thick 5cm -10cm sprayed disinfectant before use.
- Make sure air circulation in the barn.
a. Barn
- Choose the high ground dry, cool place to build chicken coop. Should shed east or southeast to catch the morning sun and is avoiding the afternoon sun.

- If Backyard chicken sheds where to avoid the sun and rain overnight, density eligible garden chicken drop at least 1 head / m2.
- The front door of the cage towards the southeast. Floors made of mesh or bamboo sparse 0.5m above the ground to create ventilation, dry, easy to clean up.
- Fences around the garden with B40 mesh, nylon mesh, bamboo wood ... depending on culture conditions of each household. Daytime Drop dry chicken yard, garden about not playing chicken, chicken enclosure evening.
b. Chicken cage creep
- The size 2m x 1m, 0.5m high leg raising enough for 100 chickens.
- Heating chicken with lights (75W two balls for 100 chickens).
c. Trough
- When chickens are small (1-3 days old) sprayed on liner paper feed for chickens in a cage creep.
- When the 4-14-day-old chickens fed with chicken feeders for chicks.

- Wash the feeder, clean drinking troughs, observing the dietary status of chickens walking, if you do find sad, moody need to isolate right track.
- Use a 75W light bulb for 1m2 nursery barn to keep the heat shield, depending on the weather to adjust the heat by raising or lowering the height of the bulb.
- Observe that if chicken is chicken gathered around the bulb is cold, heat dissipation away from the bulb is located at the convergence angle is being draughty barn and chicken walk free diet is the right temperature throughout the night light hop.Thap chicken in the nursery stage to prevent rats, cats and chickens to eat more food.

Do not drop the curtain (just drop when cold rain storm). Just 2 weeks 1 times 10% of chicken weight to calculate the average weight.
- Note that while the culture or vaccine is required for the stunted, locked and separate culture to achieve high uniformity ratio.
- Chicken manure removal is often (if in cage) or late phase (if adopted on the husk) and must be carefully incubated with fresh lime 3 months after exertion.

The Day
Food No. 1 (%)
Food No. 2 (%)
5. Sanitary

a. The cause of the disease
- Non Poultry, poultry weakened, susceptible varieties.
- Habitat:
+ The food is not easy to balance nutrition rabid animal.
+ Clean Water.
+ The air temperature ....
b. The resistance of the body poultry
- Each animal has a physical barrier to protect the body.
- Resistance by humans by injecting the vaccine prophylaxis (resistance initiative).
c. The preventive hygiene measures
Sanitary +
- Good Food.
- Clean water.
- I have the same resistance to disease is high.
- Cage clean.
- Around the barn to luminescence.
- Make good process for veterinary hygiene and disease prevention.
