If the DOC or pullet ready to spawn were placed in a cage ever used, then the program should:
1. Cleaning cages and equipment, approximately 21 days prior to occupancy.
2. All equipment such as dining / drinking water, brooder and others removed to be cleaned and then stored in a clean anyway.
3. All the old litter must be removed and replaced with a new litter
4. All surfaces, such as ceilings, walls and floors must be cleaned. Similarly, the feed shed and barn eggs should be clean anyway.
To know for sure of a disease is very difficult, because it is only possible in the laboratory. However, farmers should at least be able to observe his clinical symptoms such as:
1. Egg production declined
2. Decreased appetite
3. The high mortality
4. Chicken seems lethargic, inactive eat
5. Sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and more.
With the above mentioned disorders, then the farmers could take further steps to eradicate the disease.
Once farmers know that chickens exposed to the disease, immediate action should be taken. Namely, while a definitive diagnosis of the disease is unknown, regular chickens are given antibiotics that have a broad spectrum vitamin and supplement in their feed. Thus, this will reduce stress, because stress itself is a predisposing factor of a disease.
