Construction of a concrete floor and foot bath within an existing poultry pen to reduce the risk of infection and disease in poultry, St. Lucia

Construction of a concrete floor and foot bath within an existing poultry pen to reduce the risk of infection and disease in poultry, St. Lucia

Traditionally, poultry production (both broiler and layer) has played an integral role in small farming systems and for food security throughout rural and suburban communities in Saint Lucia. The Ministry of Agriculture has, over the years, given tremendous support to poultry production and marketing systems and has assisted in strengthening existing farmer associations and processing initiatives for the sector. With increasing intensification, the production of healthy stock for the market and the enhancement of bio-security protocols and disease mitigation systems have been compromised on many farms. In order to address this situation a concrete damp-proof floor was constructed to facilitate proper litter management and reduce disease threats.
