I am Dr. T. K. Roy speaking on behalf of Expert Village. They are small chicks. Their body
resistance is not that strong as that of the adult birds so they require protection. And
it is the breeder who started giving them protection. That is, we started giving them
vaccinations. You have seen when the chicks are taken out from the incubator they are
given some vaccine in the form of a drop in the nostril. So that is what we call the extrain
of RD vaccine. That is very dangerous disease known as as Ranikhet Disease or commonly known
as RD. Ranikhet Disease, that is a viral or virus disease, so to protect the birds we
start giving a vaccination right from the one day stage. And then the same vaccine is
repeated...for giving...one day what we are giving the protection is not to maintain more
than 12 weeks or 14 weeks. So before that we have to give them again a vaccination for
the same disease and in that case the protection remains life long. So that is the second vaccination
we are to give between 6 and 8 weeks. And apart from that, there are other vaccine cultures.
There are vaccines for the Fowl Cholera. There are vaccines for Fowl Pox. There are vaccines
for Fowl Typhoid and there are certain bacterial diseases also for which though there is no
vaccine, but there are good medicine now available which can be used to prevent the bacterial
diseases among the poultry birds. You give them better comfort. You give them better
feed. You give them good, clean water and you give them proper protection at proper
age and the birds will be happy to grow and they will give you back what ever care and
nutrition you have done for the birds by giving more meat, more eggs, when they grow old.
Thank you.
