Main Problems
Rearing, diseases and vaccination
Fowl pox: Very few cases were reported in mixed farms.
Clostridial enteritis: Caused sudden death in more than 30%
of young chicks. Zinc bacitracin in diet was used
successfully as preventive treatment.
In 2 farms all disease problems in breeders disappeared when
good nutrition and biosecurity program were used.
In one farm aspergillosis caused problems (respiratory
problems in breeders and low hatchability) due to low
quality hay in diet.
