kendraloops:
please kindly advice. 1 of my birds has been inactive for about 2 weeks now. it first started limping, but was feeding well. now, if you don't put it's beak in the feeding trough, it won't eat or drink. I've tried the pawpaw leaf therapy but no improvement. it's not growing at ALL. though I always meet it in a different position from where I Ieft it overnight.

it sticks out one leg like it hurts or something. I've tried massaging it, still no luck. no observed growth at all, still looks just the same like when I got it.

what do you suggest?

What's the age?
Is the leg swollen?
Touch the leg, is it hot?
What feed are you using?
A picture would have been better.

Pawpaw leaf is mainly for control of protozoan disease like coccidiosis.

Rabbit farming scope and it’s national importance:

Rabbit farming is another livestock activity with great scope as it is relatively easy, rewarding and takes little space compared to other livestock activities. Rabbit farming can also provide a very valuable additional source of income in the hilly areas where opportunities of employment are very limited. Another important consideration is food production cycle, which shows that rabbit need not be in competition with man for it’s food.

Main Advantages of Rabbit farming:

1. Rabbits are highly prolific and a good female can produce 25 to 30 kits (young ones) per year.

2. Rabbits can be reared in small groups (up to 50 nos.) in the kitchen garden / backyard of farmer’s house with kitchen waste as feed. Family labour is adequate to take care of labour requirements of the unit. Initial investment cost is low.Quick returns i.e. within six months after the establishment of farm.

3. Rabbit meat is rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids and is categorized as white meat.

4. Rabbits are the best producers of wool on per kg body weight basis. They require 30 % less digestible energy to produce one kg of wool as compared to sheep.

5. Income generation at quarterly interval makes the repayment easy.Apart from providing wool, rabbits also provide income from sale of kits, meat, pelt and manure.Residual feed, together with rabbit manure is highly suitable for vermi compost which in turn provides excellent manure for fertilizing the
agriculture fields.

6. Rabbit wool is 6 – 8 times warmer than the contemporary sheep wool. It can be mixed with silk, polyester, rayon, nylon, sheep wool and other fibres to make good quality hand looms as well as hand knitted apparels.

7. Rabbits consume a large amount of forage from diverse origins and hence, can be reared on roughage with very less quantity of costly concentrate feed.

Its mainly caused by a lack of vitamin B (thiamine) and likely vitamin D. Solution is to give a complete feed with good multivitamins in either feed or water.
Possible causes could be poor feed, too much drugs especially anticocci drugs which doesn't go with vitamin B, etc.
If possible, isolate the weak one and put the multivitamin in the feed and water. Feed it well. That should solve the problem.

A good multivitamin is vitalyte. Double the normal dosage for like a week and let's see the outcome.

Good day... my 4 weeks old broilers eat like crazy, so I started giving them chaff from maize, after which I give them their normal feed. Hope the chaff won't affect their growth or affect them medically?

nuvieak:

For best results ur maize chaff are roughage and will not improve ur birds instead of getting betting results law of diminishing result will set in
And if the maize chaff is not very dry it can lead to CRD

So Pls look for money and feed them right for best results

Provide more space for the birds so they can move around freely and avoid feed pouring on the floor even water that will help u reduce dirty on the liter but changing the litter regular is also good to reduce disease since the birds are on the floor

I wasn't able to get Vitalyte for my bird but I got a close substitute(according to the seller). Hope he's right and it works just like Vitalyte. But I saw my bird standing today for the first time in weeks. I was so happy, It was a great surprise.

I only just started administering the drug yesterday though, so, is it just coincidence that my bird stood today or the drug is already taking effect?
