Poultry farming is a profitable branch of agriculture as the demand for products is always high. However, to obtain the desired result, it is important to know how to raise chickens correctly, while following the appropriate technology. Phileo by Lesaffre is committed to nature and uses beneficial microorganisms to improve chick care, significantly reducing the use of antibiotics and keeping birds healthy.
Features of cultivation
At first, chickens are vulnerable to diseases that can arise due to improper maintenance and incorrectly selected feed. When raising chickens, the following nuances must be taken into account:
- Place. The room in which chickens are kept must be clean, well ventilated and equipped with the necessary equipment. The microclimate in the cage or box should be close to the microclimate of the incubator.
- Temperature and humidity. Raising chickens requires a certain temperature regime. At first, the air should be heated to about 30 degrees, then the temperature should be gradually lowered. The humidity level should not exceed 70%.
- Light mode. Lighting for chicks should be done using infrared lamps.First, lighting should be maintained throughout the day, and then gradually reduced to 14 hours a day.
- Walking. Chicks need fresh air, so when they reach two weeks of age, they can be taken outside. The pen intended for walking must be covered with a canopy.
Prevention and treatment of diseases
Previously, antibiotics were traditionally used to prevent and treat bird diseases. However, now an effective measure that increases resistance to various diseases is the use of yeast fraction. Safmannan products from Phileo by Lesaffre, used in feed, have a beneficial effect on the intestinal health of birds and their immune system.
Salmonellosis is one of the most dangerous diseases of birds. The postbiotic Safmannan allows chickens to develop resistance to salmonella. It creates an unfavorable environment for the development of pathogens and helps increase the number of beneficial bacteria. Phileo by Lesaffre's effective programs and natural products used in chicken production help to safely replace antibiotics and keep birds healthy.
