Fungal diseases

 Major control measures include:

1) Minimizing exposure to the fungus and risk factors involve.

2) The removal of the birds from the polluted area.

3) Hatchery hygiene in young chickens through carefully cleaning and disinfection of the hatching equipment.

4) Contaminated material(s) removed to prevent additional exposure as removing the old litter and the mouldy feed.

5) To avoid an aspergillosis outbreak, resist using mouldy litter or feed.

6) Attempting to avoid disturbing the infected material(s) to reduce spore aerosolization further.

7) Higher air exchange rates or ventilation , lessens the severity of the epidemic.

8) Eggs that are seriously infected or fractured should not incubated because they stimulate fungal growth and since they may rupture and release spores into the hatching machine.

9) Related risk factors (bad ventilation, high temperature, humidity,…..)
