In layer chicken, comb colour is directly proportional to its reproductive hormones and laying cycle.

Hens with large, bright red comb indicate that the they are healthy and are in good production stage.

Thanks Dr. Pardhu and Wahab — great reminders! Regular flushing and using hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners really help maintain clean, safe water lines.

Farmer can also reduce feed intake after sunrise till sunset, make sure cold/cool water is always available, avoid overcrowding of the birds.

Excellent point — spray vaccination depends heavily on droplet size, nozzle calibration, and chick distribution to ensure uniform coverage, while in ovo offers precise dosing but requires strict machine calibration and egg viability checks to avoid hatch losses.

[Muddasar]

That’s a great reminder using anti-stress supplements, ensuring cool clean water, and proper ventilation are key to minimizing heat-related losses and keeping birds healthy during high temperatures.

The poultry sector should prioritize strict antibiotic stewardship through preventive health programs, improved biosecurity, and vaccination instead of routine antibiotic use. Greater transparency in antibiotic reporting is essential to build public trust, while continuous monitoring and responsible prescription use can help control diseases without fueling antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Great response. Thank you sir.

But, what actually cause resistant? I have been thinking on this for sometimes now. Could it be short administrative duration of the use the drug, under an ideal farm operation.

For instance, some antibiotics will say 5-7 days. Even, Lab usually recommends duration. If a farmer decided to use it for 4 days, all in the name of cutting cost.

What should a manager do in this case.
