BIO-SECURITY AND SANITATION REQUIRED
IN SUCCESSFUL POULTRY FARM OPERATION
By Manny Pinol

Many people who are not familiar with the critical operations of a poultry farm, or a livestock farm, sometimes feel
offended when they are refused entry to some areas of the farm.
If only they realize that human beings are the most efficient carriers of poultry and livestock diseases, they would
understand the deep concern of farm owners on the presence of strangers in the critical areas of the farm like the
breeding and brooding areas.
One disease-carrying individual, who may have unintentionally brought in virus his shoes or clothes collected from
contaminated areas, could wipe out a multi-million peso poultry farm and render the farm owner bankrupt.
Today, in the Braveheart Farms in Barangay Paco, Kidapawan City, we have established quarantine areas at the
entrance of the breeding and brooding area.
This is intended to provide bio-security to the breeding stocks and the chicks that we have in the farm.
Aside from the establishment of a quarantine area, we also make sure that new birds that arrive in the farm, are
confined first in a quarantine area and kept there for at least a month before they are brought to the breeding area.
They are given a bath and dewormers, immunized and vaccinated before they could be brought in to the farm
proper.
Inside the farm, especially in areas where the chicks and the breeding chicken are kept, it is also mandatory that
disinfection be conducted every now and then.
Brooders occupied by chicks must be washed and disinfected before a new batch of chicks is introduced.
This can be done by simply spraying the facilities and surroundings with disinfectants available in the market.
Since we are raising chicken naturally in the free-range, we make sure that the disinfectant that we use is organic
and environment friendly.

Boxing Sunday
TEAM PACQUIAO LEAVES FOR MACAU MONDAY
By Manny Pinol

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and his entourage of about 80 family members, training staff and friends will
leave on a chartered flight for Macau on Monday, exactly one week before his fight against American Brandon "Bam
Bam" Rios.
Sources in the Pacquiao camp said the entourage has been trimmed down allowing only very close family friends
and loyal supporters of the 8-division world champion.
The fight against Rios comes after a shocking 6th round knockout loss to nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico,
a debacle that resulted in the disappearance of many former hangers on and free-loaders who used to swarm
around Pacquiao.
The Nov. 24 fight at the Cotai Arena in Macau will be on a Sunday morning but will be aired live in the US and South
America on a Saturday night because of the time difference.
The morning fight in Macau was so designed to cash in on the lucrative Pay Per View market in the West.
The Nov. 24 fight is also a very critical fight for Pacquiao because a loss to the younger Rios could send him to
retirement from boxing.
