You might be interested :

Today I would like to touch on the topic: “How to avoid losses on private farms. Conditions for keeping chickens, poultry, rabbits and other animals.” I think this will be interesting to many readers of the site.

And in fact, if you look closely, some villagers are doing great with keeping chickens, poultry, and rabbits. There are no losses, everyone grows healthy, gains weight and makes their owners happy. But for others, it’s the other way around - animals die, losses occur, and the owners themselves have a complete desire to stop engaging in these areas of livestock farming on their personal subsidiary plots. Very often I hear - “Rabbits? Screw them. Yes, he cheated, that was it. I spent so much time, effort, and money. And what? Everyone died. Only losses. It’s not profitable.” I heard similar statements about chickens and broilers. So, what is happening and why does this happen? Why do some people succeed and others don’t? What conditions should there be for keeping chickens, poultry, rabbits and other animals on private farms so that they all grow up and there are no losses?

How are chickens, poultry, and rabbits kept in the village?

I have been living in the village for more than three years and observing. During this time, I visited many villagers in their private farms and farmsteads. And what did you see? Some have order. The smell of manure is practically absent, as is the manure itself. Everything is clean and tidy. Each bird is housed separately in its own enclosures. Pigs separately, cows and rabbits too. Everyone has their own barn, their own place.

For others it's the other way around. A real mess. It cannot be called any kind of visible order. Everything is scattered. Geese, ducks, chickens all together. They wander from morning to late evening, anywhere, begging throughout the village. There are mountains of droppings in the utility yard, it’s impossible to walk through without stepping on it and getting dirty. But the satisfied owners, squelching their boots, spread the vital waste of their poultry around the area. The barns are common to all the animals, the main place was found, but in cramped conditions and no offense or who knows. And there are a large number of such yards. So what? The reader will say. Whoever wants, does so and lives. Right. Only for those who prefer chaos, suddenly, for unknown reasons, animals die in batches. And this is no longer fun. At this, the villagers throw up their hands, raise their eyes up, look at the sky, quietly muttering, and lament something about a hard life, about the trials and blows of fate that have fallen on their heads. They draw their smartest conclusions about how it is not profitable to keep certain animals, birds. Or maybe not everything is so complicated, you just need to look around you a little and understand the reason for what is happening, and not reason.

Now I’ll tell you a little about my rabbits. Life in the village taught me not to brag and not to swear. Therefore, so that ill-wishers do not jinx me and dark times do not come to me. I’d rather play it safe, spit over my left shoulder three times and knock on the wood….

Everything worked out. Now we can continue. So, I will continue my story. I've been keeping rabbits for over a year. During this time, he did not vaccinate them, did not inject them, did not give them antibiotics or medications. (It's not good, but I decided to try it). The only thing I did was try to adhere to certain rules in nutrition and maintenance. I'll tell you about nutrition next time. But I’ll go into a little more detail about the conditions of detention. I will not invent anything, I will simply introduce readers to a number of documents with which I successfully became acquainted at one time and applied what I read in my keeping of poultry, rabbits and pigs.

Rules for keeping poultry on private farms.

Strange as it may sound, the first document is the order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation dated 04/03/2006 No. 103 “On approval of veterinary rules for keeping birds on private backyards of citizens and open-type poultry farms” (Registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on 04/27/2006 No. 7759). What does this document say, how will it be useful to poultry farmers, especially those who are interested in the living conditions of chickens. I will give small, hopefully useful, excerpts from it, and you can decide for yourself what is useful and can be applied in practice and what is not:

“…..poultry farm buildings are located on an area that has appropriate slopes for drainage and drainage of surface water;

isolated walking areas are equipped for separate keeping of each type of bird on the territory adjacent to the premises;

the internal surfaces of farmstead premises (walls, partitions, ceilings) must be made of materials accessible for cleaning, washing and disinfection;

floors of premises for keeping poultry in farmsteads must have sufficient strength, low thermal conductivity, resistance to wastewater and disinfectants and meet sanitary and hygienic requirements;

premises for keeping poultry in farmsteads must be equipped with natural or mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation, ensuring the maintenance of optimal microclimate parameters;

As you managed to draw your attention to, the main thing is cleanliness, separate keeping of each type of bird and other animals. Let's continue further:

"3.2. To create favorable conditions for the health of birds, the following activities are recommended:

When keeping poultry on floors in farmsteads, sawdust, wood shavings, straw cuttings and other materials are used as bedding material. When changing each batch of poultry, the deep litter is removed and the premises are thoroughly mechanically cleaned and disinfected. When replacing the bedding material, the floor is cleaned, disinfected (sprinkled with a layer of lime - fluff at the rate of 0.5 kg per 1 m2 or other disinfectants are used), after which the bedding material is laid with a layer of 10 - 15 centimeters. Do not use moldy, frozen or damp litter.

3.3. It is recommended to equip windows, doors, and ventilation openings in every poultry keeping room with mesh frames to prevent wild birds from flying in.

3.4. Visiting poultry keeping premises by unauthorized persons is not recommended.

3.5. Before entering the poultry keeping room, it is recommended to change clothes, shoes and put on clean work clothes.”

I would especially like to highlight the recommendation to prohibit contact with migratory wild birds. From my village experience, I noticed that when crows fly out with their chicks in mid-June - July, young broilers and free-range chickens die. I found out that this unpleasant circumstance occurs among the majority in the village. Many who have learned from life feed and pierce the bird with antibiotics, and do this regularly during this period of time. Others, on the contrary, lock poultry in barns, ensuring its safety.

I would also like to draw attention to unwanted visits by unauthorized persons to your buildings containing poultry and animals. It is unknown in what conditions these people’s animals are kept and what diseases their animals suffer from. Where strangers go, what farms, territories they visit, and it is completely unknown what they might bring to you in their clothes and how this will affect the health of your charges. I personally ruled out this possibility in my courtyard.

To visit my sheds with pets, I dress in clothes designed specifically for this work, change my shoes, and do not allow them to be in the shoes I wear when walking along the village streets.

A little about the veterinary rules for keeping and feeding poultry.

"4.3. Eggs from backyard poultry used for incubation must be clean and subject to pre-incubation disinfection. Hatching eggs are stored at a temperature of 8 - 10 degrees. C and relative humidity 75 - 80 percent. The maximum shelf life of chicken eggs is 6 days, turkey and duck eggs are 8 days, and goose eggs are 10 days. On each subsequent day of storage, embryo mortality increases by approximately 1 percent.

4.5. Standards for bird stocking density per 1 sq. meter of floor in the courtyard is as follows:

young animals of egg and meat breeds – 11 – 12 heads;

adult poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese) – 3 – 4 heads.

4.6. The feeding front (the length of the feeders accessible to the bird) per bird must be at least:

for an adult bird – 6 – 8 cm;

for young animals – 4 – 5 cm.

4.7. The drinking front (the length of the drinking bowls accessible to the bird) per head of bird should be at least 1–3 cm.

4.8. Keeping, feeding and watering different types of poultry in farmsteads is carried out separately.”

I hope that many readers will gain the necessary information from what they read. This will help avoid losses in private farms and allow you to properly maintain chickens and poultry.

Do you know?

That in every region and rural settlement there are “Rules for keeping agricultural (productive) animals in personal subsidiary plots, peasant (farm) holdings, and individual entrepreneurs on the territory...” and they are valid in the territory of populated areas. And what follows from this? And they should be fulfilled by every resident of the village and village.

I will give the main points from these Rules (these rules are completely identical in different localities):

« In order to prevent diseases, animal owners are obliged to ensure optimal living conditions for animals and cleanliness at all livestock facilities.

Owners of pig livestock are obliged to ensure that they are kept without walking in a room closed to wild birds or under sheds, excluding contact with other animals and access by unauthorized persons.

…. in private farms of citizens, the distances from premises and walks (enclosures, sheds, pens) for keeping and breeding animals to the windows of living quarters and kitchens must be no less than those indicated in Table 1:

Normative gap, not less than meters	Livestock, heads, no more
	pigs	cattle	sheep, goats	horses	bird	main stock breeding stock
	pigs	cattle	sheep, goats	horses	bird	rabbits	fur animals

If the distance from the places where animals are kept to residential premises in a personal subsidiary plot is not observed, the owner of the personal subsidiary plot is obliged to reduce the number of farm animals kept on the personal plot of land to the norm, or to remove the maintenance of the number of animals exceeding the maximum norm outside the rural and urban settlement with registration of the owner of a personal subsidiary plot as an individual entrepreneur or peasant (farm) enterprise.

The distances from barns for livestock and poultry to mine wells must be at least 30 m. To the border of an adjacent land plot, the distances according to sanitary, domestic and veterinary requirements must be at least:

from a manor house with one or two apartments – 3 m;

from buildings for keeping livestock and poultry - 4 m;

from other buildings (bathhouse, garage and others) - 1 m;

from the trunks of tall trees – 4 m;

from medium height – 2 m;

from the bush - 1 m.

It is not allowed to keep animals in residential premises, on the territory of a household, the boundaries of which are directly adjacent to public places (kindergartens, schools, parks, medical institutions, etc.).

The presence of animals outside the yard without supervision is prohibited.

During the spring and summer, the livestock of animals, with the exception of pigs, must be organized by its owners into herds for grazing with the appointment of a responsible person. If it is impossible to organize grazing of animals in the herd, the Owners are obliged to ensure that the animals are kept in stalls.

Grazing of animals in organized herds is permitted on pastures.

Free grazing of animals is allowed in the fenced territory of the owner of the land plot.

It is prohibited to graze animals in public places (flower beds, stadiums), within the boundaries of coastal protective strips and highway right of way.

Unattended grazing of animals is prohibited.

The driving of animals to grazing areas is carried out by the owners or authorized representatives (shepherds) through the territory strictly designated by the settlement administration in accordance with a specific livestock driving plan, indicating the streets along which driving is permitted.”

What do these Rules say? In a populated area, be it a village or village, there are restrictions on the number of animals kept; they are shown in the table above. Therefore, for those who think that I have a house in the village, a plot of land that falls under the personal subsidiary plot (personal subsidiary plot), and I will do what I want there. I will walk animals anywhere. I will build a real farm and make a living from it. I can disappoint you - it’s not that simple. There are restrictions and they will have to be followed. After all, neighbors live nearby through the fence and have the right to a normal life, who will not put up with manure flowing in streams onto their plot. In the summer there is an unbearable stench, and thick, large flies fly around, successfully raised on your livestock farm. You will have to ensure that your farmstead does not become a source of acute infectious diseases of animals, including those dangerous to humans.

In custody.

In most cases, we, the owners, are to blame for the death of poultry and animals on private farms. We disdain to comply with basic standards for keeping chickens, poultry, rabbits and other animals. I will list once again the basic rules for keeping animals, which I myself adhere to and recommend to you:

Maintain cleanliness of the premises, promptly clean premises with animals, remove them, store them properly, and be sure to dispose of manure and droppings.
Observe the norms for the density of stocking of animals in the premises. Understand that every animal needs space to roam freely. In these conditions they grow much better.
Create conditions for accessibility to drinking bowls and feeders.
Ensure separate housing, feeding and watering of animals.
Prevent access to animals and the premises in which they are kept, migratory wild birds and unauthorized persons.
Maintain hygiene and visit animals in clean clothes and shoes by the owner himself.

Following these basic rules will eliminate the loss of animals on your personal farms. Checked personally. Vlad Pchelkin.

The last of the Laws that awaits rural residents in the near future.

At the moment, the following documents concerning rural residents are under consideration in the State Duma of Russia.

1. Federal law. On amendments to the Federal Law “On Personal Subsistence Farming” and on the recognition as invalid of certain provisions of legislative acts of the Russian Federation. (PROJECT).

The main point of this Law is that state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, taking into account sanitary, veterinary rules and regulations, can establish requirements for the maximum (maximum) number of farm animals of each type kept on a plot of land and used by citizens for running personal subsidiary plots .

2. Federal law. On amendments to Article 6 of the Federal Law “On Personal Subsistence Farming” and the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences. (PROJECT).

The main points are as follows:

The maximum norms for keeping farm animals and poultry in a personal subsidiary plot on a personal plot of land are established by the law of the subject of the Russian Federation.

Violation of the maximum standards for keeping farm animals and poultry in a personal subsidiary plot on a personal plot of land - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of three thousand to five thousand rubles.
