Procedure for fumigation: done 48 hours prior to the chick arrival. fumigated with 2 kg bleaching powder and 4 litres of formalin for every 1000 sq. ft. after fumigation should not be opened till the day of chick arrival.
Potassium permanganate method
Potassium permanganate method 2 parts of formalin mixed with 1 part of KMNO4 for complete expulsion of gas. 1) Single strength concentration: mixing 40 ml formalin with 20 g kmno4 for each 2.83 m3 of space 2) Double strength: 80 ml of formalin with 40g of kmno4 for each 2.83 m3.
Preparation of shed to receive chicks
