can we use IB vaccine during production of breeders?

lab tested up to drinking standard water should be used . provide fresh water with clean, disinfected tanks , water lines and drinkers/nipples. no. of drinkers as per no. and age of birds with proper height of the birds. uniform birds size in flock ensure access to all.
feed of high quality with all nutrients protein, energy, vitamin, minerals, etc as per standards, specie, age, physiological stage, with limits of mycotoxins, no. of feeders as per birds numbers and age, weight and proper height.

Highly effective in reducing bacterial diseases challenges and thus help in reducing morbidity and Mortalities in the flock, highly recommended long span birds like comercial layers and breeders birds

Water though commonly overlooked but is most nutrient, farm owners must ensure it available, accessible, reachable and free of pathogenic organisms….Poor access to water will always lead to poor feeding this poor growth and production

Once you don’t create conditions to make the oocyst infective your flock will remain safe

Sero profiling is also an important factor in some instances to determine when to give the first shot when considering maternal derived antibodies MDA

The three main types of poultry production systems are intensive, semi-intensive, and extensive, differing in terms of input, output, and how poultry are housed, fed, and managed. The intensive system offers high input and output, often using cages or deep litter, while extensive systems involve low inputs and outputs with birds foraging freely. Semi-intensive systems fall between these, providing a balance of controlled housing and outdoor access.

To manage water pH, identify if the water needs to be made more acidic or alkaline. For low pH, add alkaline substances like baking soda or use neutralizing filters. For high pH, add acidic substances like lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid. For larger systems, consider acid/alkali injection systems or aeration to naturally adjust pH levels.

The most suitable metal for a pellet mill die is alloy steel (like 42CrMo or 20MnCr5) for most general purposes, or stainless steel (like 4Cr13 or X46Cr13) for corrosive or oily materials.
