• Keeping rodents and wild birds away: Rodents spread diseases into the farm through their droppings or secretions. They are kept out through placing wire nets and avoiding spillage of feeds outside the poultry house. SanitationThe poultry house should be kept clean to ensure that there is no spread of diseases. Everyone should wash their hands with a disinfectant and wear protective clothing - a dust coat and gumboots before they enter into the poultry house. There should be a footbath at the entrance of every poultry house that all visitors should dip their foot wear.
