 Mix 10kg of hydrated lime, 3kg of coarse and 1 litre of formalin in 20litres of water. Ensure to wear
hard glove and then paint the floor and the wall, 1metre from the ground. This should be done 5-
7days before receiving the chicks.
 Stocking rate for broilers is 10 -20adult birds per square metre (1m by 1m space) and 35-50 chicks

chickens are growing. In addition, ensure to be lifting the drinkers and feeders to chickens’ back
height.

administer amprolium in their drinking water for 5days. For coughing, sneezing, infectious coryza
