Livestock and poultry management measures during rainy season

Livestock and poultry farms should be constructed on elevated, flat ground, avoiding low-lying areas or flood-prone regions such as valleys. This helps prevent water accumulation and reduces the risk of disease outbreaks caused by damp conditions. After heavy rainfall, it's crucial to drain standing water promptly. Clean and disinfect any areas or equipment that have been submerged. Open doors and windows to improve air circulation, which helps reduce humidity and prevents the spread of diseases. Ensure proper moisture control inside the buildings to maintain a healthy environment for the animals. Access to the production area must be strictly controlled. Foreign vehicles and personnel are not allowed to enter without prior approval. If entry is necessary, all vehicles must undergo thorough disinfection. Additionally, the movement of staff should be monitored, and no other animals should be permitted in the farm area to minimize the risk of contamination. Regular and strict disinfection measures should be implemented. A 3% to 5% solution of fire-based disinfectant can be sprayed on the ground weekly. Waste should be removed regularly and sterilized using bleach (5%), formaldehyde (3%), or peracetic acid. All feeding equipment, such as troughs and sinks, must be cleaned and disinfected frequently to maintain hygiene standards. Mosquitoes and rodents pose significant threats to livestock and poultry, as they can transmit infectious diseases. Weeds around the farm should be cleared regularly. In early summer, install fine mesh screens on doors and windows to keep out mosquitoes and wild birds. Insecticides can be added to feed, and insecticidal sprays should be applied in areas where mosquitoes and flies are prevalent. For example, administering vitamin B1 (30–40 mg every three days) to pigs can create an odor that repels mosquitoes. Additionally, rubbing tomato or mint leaf juice on the pigs can effectively deter insects without harming the animals. Different livestock species require tailored preventive measures. Especially after rain, when temperatures rise, heat stress can lead to bacterial infections or disease outbreaks. Implement cooling strategies such as providing shade, misting systems, or increasing ventilation to help animals cope with high temperatures. Proper feeding practices are essential for maintaining animal health. Improve the nutritional content of feed by including high-protein, vitamin-rich, and mineral-dense ingredients. Ensure clean and sufficient drinking water is always available, and avoid feeding moldy or contaminated feed, which can cause serious health issues.
