The epidemic prevention system of deer farms
The epidemic prevention system of deer farms is provided by the 5830 Agriculture Website Navigation: Deer farms must conscientiously implement the policy of "prevention first", earnestly do a good job in hygiene and epidemic prevention work, ensure the health of the deer herd, and improve the production capacity of deer. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a practical and feasible hygiene and epidemic prevention system and adhere to its regular implementation.
1. Deer farm management system
1. Dead deer should be subjected to an autopsy at a designated location and cannot be handled arbitrarily. Sixth, domesticated grazing deer herds should graze in designated areas and must not be mixed with other livestock.
2. A disinfection tank or other disinfection equipment should be set up at the entrance and exit of the deer farm area, and personnel entering must undergo thorough disinfection.
3. Pigs and chickens raised by the families of deer farm employees must not enter the deer farm area. If an epidemic occurs, it should be reported promptly.
4. Vehicles and horses from the deer farm going out must carry their own water and feed troughs. The vehicles used for transporting feed within the farm, such as cars, tractors, and horse-drawn carts, must be clean. It is strictly forbidden to use vehicles that have transported pesticides and manure without being cleaned to transport feed.
5. Non-deer farm vehicles and horses are strictly prohibited from entering the premises. Vehicles transporting feed must pass through and park at designated locations, must not use the farm's feeding utensils, and residual waste such as manure must be cleared promptly.
2. Water hygiene system
1. Water sources must be protected from pollution. Animal carcass pits and manure fields must be far away from water sources.
2. Drinking water must be clean, transparent, odorless, colorless, free of pathogenic microorganisms, parasites, and parasite eggs.
3. Regular checks on drinking water should be conducted, especially during rainy days when the groundwater level is high; disinfection of well water and spring water should be carried out.
4. Deer must have sufficient access to water, and warm water should be provided during winter.
3. Feed management system
1. Feed must undergo processing and formulation to improve digestibility. Grain feeds and oilcake feeds should be crushed and soaked; root feeds should be cut into pieces; straw feeds should be chopped or crushed. In summer, soaking feed should not exceed four hours to prevent spoilage. Fifth, feed warehouses should be located on higher and drier ground with good ventilation, ensuring rodent and bird control. Sixth, strict precautions must be taken against wild animals and domestic poultry and livestock entering feed fields and storage areas.
2. Suspicious feed must be inspected by veterinary or specialized personnel before deciding whether it can be used.
3. It is strictly forbidden to purchase feed from epidemic areas.
4. Prevent contamination and spoilage of feed during collection, transportation, and storage.
4. Hygiene system for deer sheds
1. Deer sheds must be kept clean and hygienic, requiring daily cleaning.
2. When selecting a site for the deer farm, it should be far from villages, various pastures, and major roads. The terrain should be high and dry, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. The constructed deer shed should have smooth drainage, a flat floor, and be easy to clean.
3. Feces and garbage from cleaning the deer sheds should be piled in the downwind and lower-lying areas of the deer farm, far from water sources and deer sheds. Manure must undergo biological fermentation and disinfection before being used as fertilizer.
4. Feeding troughs, water troughs, and tools should be kept clean at all times. Feeding tools should be fixed for use and stored in a fixed position after use. Tools must not be exchanged between different sheds and must not be taken outside the farm.
5. Deer sheds must be disinfected at least twice a year, once before calving and once before breeding. Temporary emergency measures must be taken if an infectious disease occurs.
6. Staff working in the deer sheds must wear uniforms and work shoes (boots). Work clothes and shoes must not be worn home or to other places outside the farm. Visitors and relatives must not be received inside the deer sheds.
