A poultry farm cannot survive in a dirty environment. There is a minimum hygienic condition to maintain in a poultry farm if the chickens are to remain in good health for optimal production and maximum profits.
The poultry farm must be cleaned regularly and the droppings should be cleared before it constitutes an agent of disease. The farm house must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before bringing in new stock of chickens.
A farm house is dirty and in urgent need of cleaning when it has an offensive odour. The farmer should clear the chicken droppings mixed with saw dust into disposal bins on regular basis.
The chicken droppings contain ammonia which is a health hazard that can lead to outbreak of disease. When the droppings are cleared, fresh wood shavings should be brought in and spread on the floor.
The farm surroundings must be kept clean at all times.
