LPM 221: Commercial Poultry Production and Hatchery Management (1+1)

RODENT CONTROL

•  Keep rodents out from the initial stage of farming itself, since once the farm is infested, it is difficult to get rid of them.
• Remove piles of unused equipment and empty gunny bags as they serve as breeding places for rats, mice and squirrels.
• Remove spilled feed daily. Store feed in well-ventilated, rodent-proof rooms.
• Use traps in the initial stages and later rodenticides. Rodenticides should be used at night according to specifications.
