Layer disease refers to the general term for various infectious and non-infectious diseases that occur in chickens. Common layer diseases include avian influenza, Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, etc. These diseases have caused serious economic losses to farmers. Therefore, prevention and control of layer diseases is an issue that farmers must pay attention to.

The main transmission routes of laying hen diseases

Layer diseases are mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, digestive tract and skin. The main routes of infection are direct contact with the source of infection, droplet transmission, fecal contamination or contaminants, and transmission through key links (feed, drinking water, breeding facilities, etc.).

Preventive measures for laying hen diseases

1. Management of the breeding environment <br> Prepare the chicken house facilities, keep the inside and outside of the chicken house clean and hygienic, disinfect regularly, and control the air humidity, temperature and ventilation.

2. Strengthen feeding management <br> Rationally distribute feed to improve the nutritional level of the chickens. Change feed regularly and ensure that drinking water facilities are clean and unobstructed. Pay attention to adding necessary minerals and vitamins to the chickens to enhance their immunity.

3. Prevention and control of pests and diseases <br> Regularly monitor pests and diseases and take necessary prevention and control measures. Chickens infected with diseases should be isolated and treated in time to prevent the spread of the source of the disease.

4. Strict hygiene management <br> Actively remove dirty substances inside and outside the chicken house, keep the environment clean and odor-free, and reduce the growth and spread of pathogenic microorganisms.

Prevention and treatment of laying hen diseases

1. Vaccination <br> According to the epidemic situation of the farmers' location, formulate a scientific and reasonable vaccination plan, vaccinate regularly, and enhance the immunity of laying hens.

2. Drug prevention and treatment <br> For known diseases, take appropriate preventive drugs in time, such as antibiotics, sterilizers, etc. For chickens that have been infected, appropriate drug treatment should be given in time to relieve symptoms and reduce economic losses.

3. Regular inspection and monitoring <br> Farmers should ask veterinarians to regularly inspect and monitor laying hen diseases, promptly detect and diagnose potential diseases in the flock, and take appropriate control measures.

Summarize

Prevention and treatment of laying hen diseases are very important for farmers. Farmers should strengthen the management of the breeding environment, rationally distribute feed, regularly carry out pest and disease control, strictly manage hygiene, and adopt vaccination and drug prevention and treatment methods to maintain the health and production performance of laying hens.
