Monitoring feed and water intake in poultry can be done by measuring the amount of feed and water provided and comparing it to the remaining amounts at regular intervals. Utilizing weigh scales for feed and calibrated water dispensers can provide accurate data. Additionally, observing bird behavior and activity levels can help assess overall intake and health trends.

Fowl pox vaccines can create stakes, or localized lesions, as a result of the live virus in the vaccine stimulating an immune response. These lesions typically develop at the vaccination site and indicate that the body is building immunity against the disease. While these stakes are generally harmless, they serve as a visual marker of successful vaccination.

Litter should generally be stirred or turned weekly to manage moisture and reduce ammonia buildup, promoting a healthier environment. Full litter changes are typically recommended every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on factors like flock size and housing conditions. Regular monitoring of litter quality can help determine the optimal frequency for maintenance.

A sudden drop in feed intake can be caused by stress factors such as changes in environmental conditions, overcrowding, or disturbances in the poultry house. Health issues, including diseases or infections, can also lead to decreased appetite among birds. Additionally, poor feed quality or changes in feed formulation might deter birds from eating.

Recording and analyzing production data involves systematically collecting metrics such as feed intake, weight gain, and health observations over time. Use spreadsheets or specialized software to organize the data for easy access and analysis. Regularly review the data to identify trends, evaluate performance, and make informed management decisions to optimize production.
