CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to control flies in chicken farms (What are the methods for controlling flies in chicken farms)

1. How to remove flies in the chicken house 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.

2. How to deal with flies when raising poultry?

Flies come here because they are looking for smells. It cannot be said that there is feces. As long as there is an environment suitable for flies to lay eggs, flies will come here. Fly prevention and control measures:

1. Put domestic garbage in plastic bags and clear them out every day. Do not let them stay in one place for a long time to prevent flies from coming into contact and laying eggs.

2. Trash bins (boxes, carts) must be covered and removed in a timely manner.

3. Timely eliminate garbage and sanitary dead corners in front of and behind houses, inside and outside units.

4. Restaurants, stalls and places where food is available should have fly prevention and fly killing facilities.

5. Residents in urban areas are prohibited from raising poultry and livestock.

6. Do not use chicken, duck or fish viscera or bones as flower fertilizer.

7. Hotels, restaurants and bars should have complete fly prevention and control facilities, and garbage should be sealed and removed in time. 8. Natural enemies can be used for prevention and control. For example: spiders, geckos, etc.!

3. How to eliminate flies in farms?

With the development of large-scale breeding industry in rural areas, disease prevention and control becomes particularly important, especially in the hot and humid summer. Due to the large-scale breeding of flies and mosquitoes, the spread of animal diseases is accelerated, which has become an important hidden danger of the current disease outbreak and has brought many adverse effects to the breeding industry. Scientific and effective prevention and control of flies and mosquitoes has become a practical problem that urgently needs to be solved in large-scale rural farms.

Methods/Steps

1. Improve the hygiene of the farm. Clean the farm inside and out, especially the living area of ​​the livestock, clean up the sewage and livestock feces in the dead corners, and improve the sanitary conditions of the farm.

2. Add fly-proof facilities. For indoor breeding, screens and curtains can be installed on doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes and flies from entering the breeding farm.

3. Use fly-killing tools. Choose appropriate fly-killing tools according to the size of the farm and the geographical environment, such as fly-killing lamps, fly-killing paper, etc.

4. Kill flies with drugs. Use drugs to kill mosquitoes and flies, and spray the insecticide in places where flies often move, but be careful to choose the right insecticide and keep it away from livestock.

5. Biological fly control: Biological fly control is to cultivate some natural enemies of flies, such as beetles and wasps, to eliminate flies and inhibit their reproduction.

6. Environmental disinfection. Regularly disinfect the living environment of livestock in the farm to kill potential pathogens and drive away flies.

Kind tips

Some plants that can prevent mosquitoes and flies, such as tuberose, can be planted in the farm.

4. What should I do if there are a large number of flies inside and outside the chicken coop?

There are many flies in the chicken house in summer, which is a big problem affecting the hygiene of the chicken farm.
