Poultry farming is more about management than medicine.
Many farmers believe that the solution to every poultry problem is to buy more drugs.But here’s the truth: no amount of medicine can replace good management.All those antibiotics you keep pumping your birds with will do more harm than good.
Healthy, productive chickens come from how you manage them daily, not just what you treat them with.Many poultry farmers have what we call addiction to antibiotics and multivitamins.They dish it out to their birds like sweets.They use all manner of drugs and when all else fails they now remember that there is a vet.It's always already too late when a vet is called in.
Good management means:
✔️ Clean housing – a dry, well-ventilated house keeps diseases away.
✔️ Proper feeding – balanced feed helps birds grow faster and lay more eggs.
✔️ Safe clean water – chickens drink twice as much water as feed; dirty water spreads lots of poultry diseases.
✔️ Good brooding – the first 2 weeks of a chick’s life decide its future.Poor brooding leads to poor growth of your birds.
✔️ Correct vaccination timing – prevents disease instead of treating it later.Some farmers ignore vaccination and regret later.
When these things are in order, your birds will rarely fall sick. But when management is poor, even the strongest drugs cannot stop losses.Be vigilant in observing the above mentioned.
Always remember this simple rule:
Good management prevents disease, medicine only cures it.
