Drinking water administration is one of the most commonly used methods for poultry administration, and some small details in the operation of drinking water administration are related to the efficacy of drug use. This seemingly simple thing is not an easy thing to do well. Poultry drinking water administration operations should adhere to the following principles for reference.

Pay attention to careful observation and drive the flocks from time to time to ensure that every chicken in the flocks can drink the liquid medicine.

When diluting the medicine, first dilute it with a small amount of warm water, and then add it to the water to be used for the medicine. During the dosing process, stirring should be continued to increase the dissolution of the drug.

After each administration, the drinking water line should be cleaned once to prevent the water line from being blocked!

When dispensing drinking water for chickens, the current preparation should be used, and the length of the drinking water administration time and the drugs that are not easily destroyed in the water should be drunk within a certain period of time at most 4 hours to ensure the efficacy and medication. Control the water for 1-2 hours before making the chicken feel thirsty.

If you need to adjust the chemical properties of the drinking water (such as pH value), this should be done before adding medicine.

Do not add medicines to water that exceeds the standard such as microorganisms and chemical substances.

Be careful not to mix alkaline and acidic drugs for drinking.

Do not add alkaline drugs directly to a container that has just used an acidic solution, or add acidic drugs to the container that has used an over-alkaline solution.

Do not mix traditional Chinese medicines (except astragalus polysaccharides) and chemical drugs for drinking at the same time, and administer them separately.

Do not mix two or more chemicals to dissolve at the same time, especially two chemicals with poor solubility.

If it is necessary to mix two compatible chemicals, first add the chemical with the best solubility into the drinking water to dissolve it completely, and then add the pre-diluted second chemical.

Before each addition of medicine, check and calculate the daily water consumption of the chickens, and calculate the water consumption for dissolving the medicine and the daily consumption according to the daily water consumption, so as to ensure that the chickens drink the medicine within the specified time. .

Master the length of water administration.

Drugs that are not easily destroyed in water can be freely consumed by poultry throughout the day; drugs that are easily destroyed in water should be consumed within a certain period of time to ensure efficacy. Water was stopped for 25h before administration to make chickens feel thirsty.

The amount of liquid medicine for chickens should be appropriate.

Too much will cause waste of medicine, and too little will cause some chickens to drink medicine, which will affect the curative effect. The amount of liquid medicine should be determined according to the water consumption of the chickens, and the water consumption is closely related to the age of the chickens, breeding methods, feed types, seasons, climate and other factors.

Pay attention to the incompatibility between drugs.

When using two or more drugs at the same time, you must pay attention to the incompatibility between them.

It is often heard that farmers and friends have failed to achieve efficacy after feeding chickens with drinking water, sometimes even ineffective. So it is said that the drug problem, as everyone knows, the drugs that meet the quality standards. If you don’t use it according to the requirements, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to the details of giving chickens drinking water. When raising chickens, every detail cannot be ignored!
