Poultry 4 Flashcards
defined as the set of sanitary and preventive measures that, if applied permanently, prevent, and avoid the entry and exit of infectious disease
biosecurity
objectives of biosecurity
- to limit the introduction of infection into a poultry operation
- to reduce lateral spread between units following an initial outbreak
how many meters away should medium and large scale piggery and poultry shall be
-small scale
1,000 meters away from built up areas
- 500 meters away
piggery and poultry shall be located at what radius from sources of ground and surface drinking water
25 meter radius
entry amd exit of all birds at the same time, the same group enters and leaves. no crossing of group of birds
all-in-all-out system
vital biosecurity process that every farm mist implement to control various diseses like Marek’s disease, Newcastle d. or avian infectious bronchitis and etc
vaccination
contains an intact but weakened pathogen. providw long lasting immunity
modified -live (attenuated)
contains completely inactivated pathogen, which is no longer infectious. provide short term immunity thus regular booster shots are needed
inactivated (killed)
developed using recombinant DNA technology, genes from a payhogen is inserted into a harmless host organism which then produces antigens
recombinant
made by inactivating toxins produced by pathogens, aims to protect animals against bacterial disease caused by toxins rather than bacteria themselves
toxoid
mist be stric when necessary.the withdrawal period of these must always be considered
medicines
the time period req. after cessation of treatment to assure that drug residues in poultry meat and eggs are below the maximum residue limit
withdrawal period
test such as necropsy, microbiological samples, serologies, or histopathology can be conducted to identify possible cause of death
mortality
rest period of flocks to reduce the risk of disease passingbetween bird batches
down time
-recommended down time after a disease outbreak
-abscence of disease outbreak
-21 days
-14 days
process of washing, cleaning, and eliminating of dust, debris, and germs on the surface
sanitation
method of destroying pathogenic microorganisms and removing most organisms present on the surface. kills most disease causing germs
disinfection
handling and killing all microbial and forms of bacteria, fungi, and viruses
sterilization
process of eliminating insects, vermin, and similar unwanted plagues of pests
disinfestation
a two step process
step 1- dry cleaning
step 2- wet cleaning
cleaning
final result of disinfection depends on many factors like
- clean surface
- label use
- non-porous surface
- contact time
- proper dilution
ways to apply disinfectant
- fogging
- spraying
- fumigation
3 methods to control rodents
a. farm management
b. mechanical control
c. chemical control
2 way farm management
2 way mechanical control
1 way chemical control
1a. eliminating hoding places and nesting sites
1b. remove food and water
2a. snap traps
2b. glue boards
3a. rodenticide
