    It should be a routine process, but it depends on the specific characteristics of the house.

    In a cage system, the droppings must be cleaned daily, and in deep litter, litter for older birds must be changed every 4-5 days, or depending on the stocking density.

    Thus, to reduce SE and other health risks, a complete dry cleaning, washing and disinfection (C&D) of the poultry house after each flock or at minimum once each year is recommended.

    Poultry housing should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to maintain a healthy environment for the birds. Here’s a general guideline:<div>
    </div><div>Cleaning and Disinfection Frequency</div><div>1. *Between flocks*: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the poultry house between flocks to prevent disease transmission.</div><div>2. *Daily removal of manure*: Remove manure and soiled bedding daily to maintain a clean environment.</div><div>3. *Regular disinfection of equipment*: Regularly disinfect equipment, such as feeders and waterers, to prevent the spread of disease.</div><div>
    </div><div>Factors Influencing Cleaning Frequency</div><div>1. *Bird density*: Higher bird density may require more frequent cleaning.</div><div>2. *Age and health status*: Younger or immunocompromised birds may require more frequent cleaning.</div><div>3. *Disease prevalence*: Areas with high disease prevalence may require more frequent cleaning and disinfection.</div><div>
    </div><div>Importance of Proper Cleaning and Disinfection</div><div>1. *Disease prevention*: Regular cleaning and disinfection can help prevent disease outbreaks.</div><div>2. *Bird health*: A clean environment can promote bird health and productivity.</div><div>3. *Biosecurity*: Proper cleaning and disinfection are essential components of biosecurity protocols.</div><div>
    </div><div>By following a regular cleaning and disinfection schedule, poultry producers can help maintain a healthy environment for their birds.</div>
