Today I want to touch on the topic: “How to avoid losses in personal subsidiary plots. Conditions for keeping chickens, poultry, rabbits and other animals. I think it will be interesting to many readers of the site.

And in fact, if you look closely, some villagers have everything wonderful with keeping chickens, poultry, rabbits. There are no losses, everyone grows healthy, gains weight and pleases the owners. And for others, the opposite is true - animals die, losses occur, and the owners themselves have a complete desire to stop being engaged in these areas of animal husbandry in their personal subsidiary farm. Very often I hear - “Rabbits? Yes, well, them. Yes, I did, it was like that. How much time I spent, but how much effort, how much money. So what? Everyone died. One loss. It's not profitable." Similar statements had to be heard about chickens and broilers. So, what is happening and why is this happening? Why do some people succeed and others don't? What should be the conditions for keeping chickens, poultry, rabbits and other animals in private farms so that everyone grows up and there are no losses?

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

I have been living in the village for more than three years and have been watching. During this time, I visited many villagers in their personal subsidiary farms, farmsteads. And what did you see? Some are in order. The smell of manure is practically absent, as is the manure itself. Everything is clean and tidy. Each bird is located 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 is impossible to call at least some visible order. Everything is scattered. Geese, ducks, chickens all together. They roam from morning until late evening, wherever they want, begging all over the village. In the household yard, there are mountains of litter, it is impossible to pass without stepping on and getting dirty. But contented owners, champing their boots, spread the life waste of their poultry around the district. Sheds are common for all animals, the main place was found, but in cramped conditions and not offended, or who knows. And such yards a large number of. So what? The reader will say. Whoever wants to, he does it and lives. Correctly. Only for those who prefer a mess, suddenly, for some unknown reason, animals die in batches. And this is no longer fun. To this, the villagers shrug their hands, raise their eyes up, look at the sky, muttering softly, lament something about a hard life, about the trials and blows of fate that fell on their heads. They draw their smartest conclusions about how unprofitable it is to keep certain animals, birds. Or maybe not everything is so complicated, you just need to look a little around yourself and understand the reason for what is happening, and not argue.

Now let me tell you a little about my rabbits. Life in the village taught me not to brag and not to promise. Therefore, so that ill-wishers do not jinx it, and dark times do not come for me. I'd better play it safe, spit over my left shoulder three times and knock on a piece of wood ....

Everything worked out. Now we can continue. So, I will continue my story. I've had rabbits for over a year. During this time, he did not vaccinate them, did not prick them, did not give them antibiotics and medicines. (This is not good, but I decided to try). The only thing he did was tried to adhere to certain rules in nutrition and maintenance. I'll talk about nutrition next time. But I’ll dwell on the conditions of detention in a little more detail. I will not invent anything, I will simply acquaint readers with a number of documents that I once successfully met and applied what I read in my keeping of poultry, rabbits and pigs.

Rules for keeping poultry in private farmsteads.

Strange as it may sound, the first document is the order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation dated April 3, 2006 No. 103 “On approval of veterinary rules for keeping birds in private households of citizens and open-type poultry farms” (Registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on April 27, 2006 No. 7759). What this document says, how it will be useful to poultry farmers, especially those who are interested in the conditions for keeping chickens. I will cite short, hopefully useful excerpts from it, and you will decide for yourself what is useful and can be put into practice and what is not:

“….. Poultry premises of farmsteads are located on the territory with appropriate slopes for runoff and drainage of surface water;

while maintaining different types birds in the farmsteads must be provided with their separate maintenance. Different types of birds are kept in separate rooms of one or different buildings, which provide manholes for the birds to independently exit to isolated walking areas;

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

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

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

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

As you managed to draw your attention, 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 birds on the floor in backyards, sawdust, wood shavings, straw cutting and other materials are used as bedding material. When changing each batch of birds, 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 - fluffs 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. It is forbidden to use moldy, frozen and damp bedding.

3.3. It is recommended to equip windows, doors, ventilation openings in each poultry room in the courtyard with mesh frames to prevent wild birds from flying in.

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

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

I especially want to highlight the recommendation to ban contact with stray wild birds. From my village experience, I noticed that during the flight of crows with chicks in mid-June - July, there is a loss of young broilers and chickens that are in free range. I found out that this unpleasant circumstance occurs in the majority in the village. Many who are taught by life solder and pierce the bird with antibiotics, and they do it regularly during this period of time. Others, on the contrary, close poultry in sheds, ensuring its safety.

I would also like to draw attention to the unwanted visits to their buildings with the content of poultry and animals by unauthorized persons. It is not known in what conditions the animals are kept by these people, what causes their animals to get sick. Where strangers are, what farms, territories they visit, and it is completely unknown what they can bring to you in their clothes and how this will affect the health of your wards. I personally ruled out this possibility in my courtyard.

To visit my barns with pets, I dress in clothes reserved specifically for this work, change shoes, not allowing being in shoes in which I walk along the village streets.

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

“4.3. Backyard poultry eggs used for incubation must be clean and pre-hatch disinfected. Hatching eggs are stored at a temperature of 8 - 10 degrees. C and relative humidity of 75 - 80 percent. The maximum shelf life of chicken eggs is 6 days, turkey and duck eggs - 8 days, goose eggs - 10 days. On each subsequent day of storage, embryonic mortality increases by approximately 1 percent.

4.5. Norms of planting density of birds per 1 square. the floor meter in the courtyard is as follows:

young growth of egg and meat breeds - 11 - 12 goals;

adult bird (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese) - 3 - 4 heads.

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

for an adult bird - 6 - 8 cm;

for young animals - 4 - 5 cm.

4.7. The watering front (the length of drinkers available to the bird) per bird head should be at least 1–3 cm.

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

I hope that many readers will extract for themselves the necessary information from what they read. This will help to avoid losses in personal subsidiary plots, and will allow you to properly keep chickens and poultry.

Do you know?

That in every region, rural settlement there are “Rules for keeping agricultural (productive) animals in personal subsidiary farms, peasant (farm) farms, individual entrepreneurs on the territory ... ”and they operate on the territory of settlements. And what follows from this? And their implementation follows by every inhabitant of the village and the village.

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

« In order to prevent disease, Animal Owners are required to ensure optimal animal welfare and cleanliness at all livestock facilities.

The owners of the pig herd are obliged to ensure its free-range content in a closed to access wild birds indoors or under sheds, excluding contact with other animals and access by unauthorized persons.

…. in personal subsidiary farms of citizens, the distances from premises and walking areas (aviaries, sheds, pens) for keeping and breeding animals to the windows of living quarters and kitchens must be at least those indicated in Table 1:

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

In case of non-observance of the distance from the places of keeping animals to living quarters in a personal subsidiary plot on a household land plot the owner of a personal subsidiary plot is obliged to reduce the number of farm animals kept on a personal plot of land to the norm, or to remove the number of animals exceeding the maximum norm beyond the boundaries of a rural and urban settlement with the registration of the owner of a personal subsidiary plot as an individual entrepreneur or a peasant (farm) economy.

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

from the manor one-, two-apartment house - 3 m;

from the building for keeping livestock and poultry - 4 m;

from other buildings (baths, garages and others) - 1 m;

from the trunks of tall trees - 4 m;

from medium tall - 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 compound without supervision is prohibited.

The livestock, with the exception of pigs, in the spring-summer period should 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 provide stall keeping of animals.

Grazing of animals in organized herds is allowed on pastures.

Allowed free grazing of animals in the fenced area of the owner of the land.

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

It is forbidden to graze animals without supervision.

Driving animals to grazing sites is carried out by owners or authorized persons (shepherds) along the territory strictly designated by the administration of the settlement in accordance with a specific plan for driving livestock, indicating the streets along which driving is allowed.

What do these Rules say? In a settlement, whether it is a village or a 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 land plot that falls under the LPH (personal subsidiary plot), and I will do what I want there. I will walk the animals anywhere. I will build a real farm and I will earn a living from it. I'm sorry - it's not that simple. There are restrictions and they must be followed. After all, neighbors live nearby through the fence, who have the right to a normal life, who will not put up with when manure flows in streams to their personal plot. In the summer, there is an unbearable stench, and fat big flies, successfully raised on your livestock farm, fly around. 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 birds and animals in personal subsidiary plots. We disdain to fulfill elementary norms 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 in the premises, timely clean the premises with animals, take them out, properly store them, be sure to dispose of manure and litter.
Comply with the norms of the density of planting animals in the premises. Understand that every animal needs a place to roam freely. Under these conditions, they grow much better.
Create conditions for access to drinkers and feeders.
Provide separate keeping, feeding and watering of animals.
Exclude access to animals and the premises in which they are kept, stray wild birds and unauthorized persons.
Maintain hygiene and visit animals in clean clothes and shoes by the owner.

The implementation of these elementary rules will eliminate the loss of animals in your personal farms. Verified personally. Vlad Pchelkin.

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

On the this moment The following documents concerning rural residents are under consideration in the State Duma of Russia.

1. Federal law. On the introduction of amendments to the Federal Law "On personal subsidiary plots" and on the invalidation of certain provisions of legislative acts of the Russian Federation. (PROJECT).

The main point of this Law is that the authorities state power Subject to the sanitary and veterinary rules and norms of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, requirements may be established for the maximum (maximum) number of farm animals of each species kept on a personal plot of land and used by citizens for personal subsidiary farming.

2. Federal law. On amendments to Article 6 federal law"On personal subsidiary farming" and the Code of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses. (PROJECT).

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