Help4rmme2u:it is that ventilation issue they toldare u about. Ur poultry pen construction is wrong for use in the tropics. The birds have no choice but to breath in all that ammonia. Open up the pen. Remove those planks ASAP 1 Like |

Hello, i think there's a lot I can learn from you. I don't want to ask you for your digits but here's mine 08060661311 whatsappy, name's George. Pls send me a message, I would very much love to learn a few things from you. Cheers. Nice. I get mine from two weeks old and not more than 20. My own safeguards has been giving them garlic second day of buying them, and depending on weather i give panadol when it cold. It drive cold away from them immediately. I also give bitter leaf, vitamin c, and ugu leaf. Vitamin c makes them eat like anything and ugu makes them big. I raised cockerel in two months with this method. Even the seller dint believe it. Let me also add, the most recent i got were very fragile, some couldnt even stand well. I bought calcium, ground it and add to their food, i did that twice and the result was superb. They fly like anythings now in their cage. Also, when its very hot, i give them cold water. I take block from freezer atimes and add to their water. [/quote] 2 Likes |

doctorexcel:bro please place those birds on a strong antibiotics, viracid, tiviral and a good cocci drug IMMEDIATELY. Am suspecting ur birds have gumboro (infectious bursal disease), at that age if u have vaccine failure, the possibility is always high. Gumboro is an epidemic. It can wipe out the entire farm in 3 days Also place them back on brooding mode. Seal up the environment and give them heat to encourage them to drink the medicated water 1 Like |
Re: Cost Of Raising 100 Hundred Broilers In My Home-made Poultry by obstead200(m): 1:01am On Jul 08, 2018 |
oluwasemipe:u are so correct bro. All these kinds of things I read here......ugu, garlic, ginger, mornings, organic poultry farming.........bla bla bla are not for commercial farmers farming for profit. How on earth can u administer garlic to 500 birds and expect to make profit? Or how many tablets of septrin or Panadol can u put in their water? How many heads of ugh will they consume? 3 Likes |
Re: Cost Of Raising 100 Hundred Broilers In My Home-made Poultry by oluwasemipe(m): 5:08am On Jul 08, 2018 |
obstead200:using garlic is less expensive but I still think the synthetic is more effective and sustainable compare to organic drugs,i am experimenting on the effect of organic drugs and synthetic with 5000 broilers,2000 organic and 3000 synthetic,my conclusion is that the organic is more of preventive rather than curative while the synthetic works for both.organic will only be effective by using it for small number of birds,while the synthetic works for large flocks of birds. 1 Like |

doctorexcel:.it will not be too late.i observed that you covered your pen with wood,it would be better if you can remove and net your pen round because of cross ventilation because too much of heat we make your birds to be subseptible to diseases due to inhaling of ammonia which can lead to coccidiosis,chronic respiratory disease among other.goodluck 1 Like 1 Share |

oluwasemipe: Let's not be hasty here please...He didn't say nervous breakdown..if it was to be Newcastle..I am sure he'd have seen birds twisting and sprawling by now...Please treat coccidiosis abeg...Make una dey find mentor abeg...Poultry business is serious business..Dont wait until your birds are down before you find help..Get a good coccidiosis drug.... I recommend Five anticoccid from five vet Obatylodox Embarzine forte.. Make sure you combine with viramax or gumbocine |

Thanks bro[/quote Please call me on 07067443194] You do not vaccinate sick birds gaddamit...you'd hate yourself... If your birds have bloody poo..calm down..if you noticed the bloody poo is real confirm blood then it's real serious then...lucky you...you'd be weeping if they were to be cockerel by now...Get a good cocci drug...Mix with antibiotics preferably...you need to get their immune system up...Just like in humans...immune system breaks down and opportunistic infections creep in... If you notice some are too weak to drink..get a syringe...without the needle of course and try to give them the medicated water orally..you might save some this way....please do not ever vaccinate sick birds no matter what...you get them up with antibiotics first...please!!! 1 Like |

oluwakayode25:@Oluwakayode,it is not a matter of been hasty,there are Vaccination and drug programs you follow when you are raising birds.but when you are not following the program you should know that you are on your own and anything that happens you should bear the consequences.at day 7,lasota should be given to the birds,day 9, you vaccinate with gumboro, you will repeat the process at day 14 and 18 respectively after which you now give them coccidiostat every two weeks coz of coccidiosis.with this,you won't have any cause to panic.thanks |

i have serious reservations about you pen,it is poorly constructed..suspending it was a bad idea..that why thorough cleaning is difficult hence coccidiocis...ventilation is poor.goodluck though experience is best...in poultry you never say die...i once lost 90 birds in one bros come see high Bp |
Re: Cost Of Raising 100 Hundred Broilers In My Home-made Poultry by oluwakayode25(m): 8:21pm On Jul 09, 2018 |
oluwasemipe: This is standard of course, but the point is you don't vaccinate a sick bird, never!!!,,You help them improve on antibiotics and other medications before you now vaccinate, vaccinating sick birds is like severing one's head off because of head ache...I understand you very well, I am a young farmer but these are things I 've learnt and seen in my young career. Giving lasota to birds already down with Newcastle is like killing them on purpose...you boots broken down immune system first and then lasota can come in later when the birds begin to respond to the antibiotics..My 2 cents. |

[quote author=oluwakayode25 post=69201524][/quote] does it mean that cockerels suffer cocci more than other birds. I raised black layers , they are not susceptible to cocci. and am even crossing it with cockerel because of the trait. |
Re: Cost Of Raising 100 Hundred Broilers In My Home-made Poultry by oluwakayode25(m): 8:55pm On Jul 09, 2018 |
jfkenny: Cockerel at tender age have little or no flesh on, cocci will hit it hard at that stage if allowed...I once had a cocci break out...I had 8 broilers and 51 cockerel in my pen at that moment at about 4 weeks of age.. cocci took 4 broilers and about 43 cockerel..I was just picking their carcasses like they were hit by IBD...Btw with yoir experiment, are you taking the eggs to the hatchery? |

oluwakayode25:i am not saying he should vaccinate sick birds,my point is, had it been he gave them all the required drugs and vaccines and there is enough ventilation in his pen he wouldn't have had all this issues.but the Op also need to tell us what he observed about his birds. |
Re: Cost Of Raising 100 Hundred Broilers In My Home-made Poultry by oluwakayode25(m): 10:26pm On Jul 09, 2018 |
oluwasemipe: True this...I agree...Even after administering lasota..birds still break down with Newcastle..how much more when you don't administer vaccines at all, if hygiene was 100% top notch, but how can you match that,, |
