AkayTopsy:
@grownaira and All, Would u pls throw more light on how to Mix E.S.T Mix with feed since it must be consumed immediately?

what quantity of feed?

How long do they mean by IMMEDIATELY (30mins? 1hr?)

omotititi:
Thank you AkayTopsy. I will check their website and get a contact number to call. I appreciate.

kengeorge:
What do you do when you discover that your point of lay birds have CRD? most of the time it leads to early lay mortality and it is very difficult to treat. which kind of medication can help you through this phase as I have used tylosin based drug, enrofloxacin and the situation just persist.

obnelly:
All, how do we prevent the growth of algae inside our water lines.I mean the nipples.
It reduces the pressure in the nipple thereby reducing the amount of water consumption by the chicken.
Chicken stress themselves to get water by pecking the nipple severally .
Disease infestation from water likely possible because some amount of algae can be consumed by the chickens.
Pls any solution to this problem will be highly appreciated.

Have you tried selko pH?
No kelvin I think I will visit my vet shop tomorrow.
Can I administer it while chickens are in the cage?

















Have you tried selko pH?

AkayTopsy:
@omotititi and eggxel you're welcome.

Thanx grownaira. if mixing E.S.T Mix with the feed is as effective as mixing it in their water then it isreally COST EFFECTIVE using the feed bro.

@Kelvin96 what's your experience with Koudjis Concentrate pls.

kelvin96:


The best i have seen so far..... For broilers, i can get 2kg for 6 weeks birds, but i have to start them with galdus, for the first seven days.

Juliana7:

As regard how to mix the KBC 10,

Grower 17 - 37 days; KBC10 100 kg, maize 650 kg, soya meal 250 kg



Finisher after 37 days; KBC10 80 kg, maize 695 kg, soya meal 225 kg.


There is another one called kbc30

@grownaira, the 2kg i talked about is live weight.

kelvin96:


You really dont have to wait for them to fall down before treating them. if i were you i will use tylosin or tylodox for them when they are 10-12 weeks ...Please dont use tylosin for laying birds or for POL birds

FarmTech:

Why do you say that? I used it for mine to treat crd and that's what lab result recommended.

kelvin96:
Kbc 10

FarmTech:

..
Add an organic acid like citric acid to their water.

bigiyaro:

omotititi:
@Kelvin...thank you for all ur valuable contributions. Please where are you located in Benin so that i can visit your farm to learn and also exchange the little i know with you sir.

Juliana7:
Wow @kelvin u are awesome with ur invaluable response to questions thank u. Pls @kelvin d SELKO PH u recommended to obnelly can it be gotten from a vet store here in nigeria. And also @grownaira u are d "bomb", thanks for responding to my question. Thanks

kelvin96:


Where is your location?

kelvin96:


yes definately it will take care of the crd....if d birds are laying, it will crash the production, and it will take a very long time before they can bounce back,that is if they ve not gone far in their laying circle . And for pol, it delays them from laying on time.

FarmTech:

..
My last batch of birds were prone to crd and to prevent frequent illness, I have to give tylodox every month. And I did not record any drop or ceasation of egg production. Even u can mix it in feed (@ preventive dose) to prevent crd as shown here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/471896/. The drug that shud not be given to layers are sulfa-based drugs.
