In between the weeks, you need to be alternating between antibiotic, antiviral and Anticoccidial treatments. In some cases, you can give them only clean water if there's no disease symptoms. Give the birds enough feed and water to yield optimum performance. Read more about Types and Quality of Poultry Feed required by your birds.
Give your birds Lasota once in a month, you can also be deworming your birds every 4 to 6 weeks depending on the symptoms. If the weather condition is harsh try and use Multivitamins/Electrolytes. Your birds need multivitamin a day before and a day after vaccination to ease their stress. Manage the litters during brooding to avoid disease outbreak. Consistent strong biosecurity should be practiced to generally control diseases and infections. Read more about Biosecurity
