Flock Sanitation Tops Disease Prevention Says Expert
Iowa State College poultry specialist W R Whitfield urges sanitation for laying flocks and chicks as the best defense against disease. Proper diet housing and clean water matter more than remedies added to drinking water, which only slow spread. If used, potassium permanganate requires daily fresh mixing, while bichloride mercury and chlorine have stability limits and container risks.
