CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to kill flies in chicken farms (fly killing methods in chicken farms)

1. How to eliminate too many flies in the brooder house?

If there are too many flies in the brooder house, you can put more adult chickens into the brooder house and let them eat the flies.

2. How to remove flies in the chicken coop without affecting the chickens’ food intake?

The problem of mosquitoes and flies in the chicken house is a common problem with a certain seasonality. There are more flies in the summer, and although there are also flies in the winter, they are relatively rare. However, when there are too many flies, it will have a great impact on the overall growth of the chickens.

Mosquito and fly damage:

Flies can spread various diseases, such as E. coli, Pasteurella, etc. Especially after chickens become sick, flies will accelerate the development of the disease.

Even when the chickens are healthy, dense swarms of flies constantly biting the chickens' eyes and other places will make them irritated and affect their feed intake.

If there are mosquitoes, the most direct manifestation is the harm of fowl pox, which will affect the appearance and sales price of chickens.

Common fly control solutions in the market:

There are two main types of fly killers that are relatively cheap and popular among farmers on the market:

1 Cyromazine.

Adding cyromazine to feed directly blocks the development of fly larvae and fundamentally reduces fly breeding. However, cyromazine is quite harmful to humans and may cause fetal malformations.

It is now banned in the market, and even if it is used, it is only used by a small number of people. It is recommended not to deliberately add this type of drug.

2. Attractants.

This type of drug is more popular among farmers in the market. You can see the effect of killing flies, and dense flies die. However, this type of drug has a fatal disadvantage: the more you use it, the more flies you will get.

I encountered a similar situation in a farmer's chicken coop. In the spring, there were not many flies. However, there were particularly many flies in the chicken coop of one farmer. When I asked the reason, it turned out that they used a fly-killing drug that could attract and kill flies.

This type of drug will attract flies from the surrounding areas into the chicken coop, resulting in more and more flies being killed, and if not killed, the flies will become excessive, forming a vicious cycle.

For both methods, it is not recommended for farmers to use. It is normal to have flies in the chicken house. If the number is not large, you don’t need to use medication. If you need to control it, you can control it from two aspects: management and rational use of medication:

1. Seal the chicken house.

Many chicken coops nowadays are relatively simple, so this is difficult to achieve, but it is necessary to consider adding screens at vents and other locations to reduce the number of flies that directly enter the chicken coop.

2. Clean the chicken coop.

The feces in the chicken house needs to be cleaned regularly to reduce the breeding of fly larvae.

3. Drug control.

Spraying drugs such as cypermethrin on the walls, aisles and other places in the chicken coop, where chickens do not move, can inhibit the survival of flies to a certain extent.

3. How to eliminate flies in breeding farms? What should we do if there are too many flies in breeding farms?

Summer is here. Besides the headaches caused by diseases, farms also have endless flies. Although flies are not parasites, the harm they cause is more serious than any parasitic disease, so they must also be treated as parasites.

1. Clean up the environment where flies breed:

Feces are the main breeding ground for flies. The farm collects the feces produced into septic tanks or special manure pits every day, and seals and ferments them with plastic regularly. (No air leakage)

2. Cleanliness of the environment in the farm:

The feces and spilled feed in the pens are the main breeding grounds for flies. The hygiene of the pens is equally important and must be done well every day. Check the spilled feed regularly and clean it up in time. If conditions permit, you can install an automatic feces scraping system (which not only solves the problem of difficult feces treatment, but also saves labor and time). You can refer to
