Yes, maintaining approximately six inches of litter during winter is crucial for poultry health. Here’s a summary of why this practice is important:
-
Insulation: Adequate litter depth provides insulation, helping to keep birds warm and reduce heat loss.
-
Moisture Absorption: Litter absorbs moisture from manure and the environment, preventing wet conditions that can lead to respiratory issues.
-
Pathogen Control: Regularly replacing wet litter helps minimize the risk of bacterial and fungal infections, promoting better gut and respiratory health.
-
Comfort: A clean and dry environment enhances bird comfort, reducing stress and improving overall well-being

Thank you for contribution to knowledge. Kindly suggest preventive and curative measures for fungal infection from brooding to rearing stage

We may give copper sulphate through drinking water 50 to 100 gms / 1000 ltrs of water one whole day per month to broilers and also to breeders (as a antifungal agent)

This will definitely attract more cost in poultry farming during winter.
