With a flock of nearly 100 chickens, after each batch of raising and selling, I spend about 1 month in isolation from the new batch. Also during this time, I cleaned, cleaned the cage and then released the seed. To be more cautious, in addition to avian flu, I actively contacted the veterinary facility to vaccinate against other common diseases such as ecoli, cholera, gumboro... Thanks to careful care, plus vaccination with the right dose and right disease, my family has had a good source of income from livestock for the past few years.
