Hello ogas in the house pls like how many bags of feed will boilers feed on for a week 150 boilers

Broilers typically consume an average of 67g of feed per day (depending on how often you feed them). It is generally agreed that 67g per day is okay for good growth.

Thus 67g x 150 = 10050g i.e 10kg per day
10kg x 7days =70kg.

As the chicken feed are always packed in 25kg bags, that means you will need almost 3bags every week.

Thank you Sir, maybe i will try embazine forte during my next production. I was able to do my vaccination without any spill, we thank Baba God!

pcoolioz:



yes, heard its terrible when it spills. I mix mine outside the pen, thats safer IMO. Also, for anticocci, I use embazine forte...seems reliable, I dont know prococ so cant say.
cowbell is still milk, you just need any milk to dilute the agents in the water or so, lol I used dano for my last set and they are still alive..so...

3bags or 70kg per week? You might be grossly
Under feeding them.
Although, it depends on their age.
I stand to be corrected thou.

well, it depends on the age of the broilers like you've rightly pointed out
2l on whether the birds have already attained the farmers desired size for his/her target market and just using a maintenance ration.

hello nairalanders, i have been following this thread for the better part of two years now ,so i think its only right my first post on nairaland is made on this thread. this thread helped me in finally making up my mind to start my poultry(initially with 50 broilers as a test run) to providing me with added information that has prooved useful to me at various stages of my endeavour. thanks a lot guys, you have been very helpful.

Can someone please talk about rearing local Turkey? Lets take a break from inexhaustible layers birds discussion a bit. Let me start by asking questions:
Q1. Why does the hen not know when stop brooding? Mine keeps returning back to her nest even after taking away hatched eggs and none left.
Q2: Why do poults not know how to start feeding after several days? I force feed mine, only the resilient ones survive.

jamp:

[quote author=jamp post=39951054]. It is very possible. It depends on the breed. Agrited lohman breed can give 95% with good management..

Fellow farmers. As hamartarn sets in, vacinate ur birds against newcastle as this is d season..my 2 cent

viktor556:
Thank you. The tips are from chakra. Ive re-tightened them and so far so good.

It doesn't matter where the tips are from. Ur drilled holes are either too big or your water pressure is too high. Post a picture of your water supply line to the nipple pipe to me, if u drilled the whole what size of drill bit did u use, I may be able to advice if u still need one. (idyette@gmail.com)

Hello. Pls how do I make my birds lay big eggs? I saw d first egg in june(first batch), first egg for the second batch is was in august. They are around 1000 and I feed them 104g/bird.. I use animal care ..the eggs I saw from jos today are big

Good evening all. I am looking to buy 60 crates of eggs on or before 7am Monday morning in the Abuja/nassarawa axis. If you can supply please reach me on 08035993454. Thanks

Keep on pushing the nipple in and out,if it continues dripping,just change it.Some of the nipples have factory error.

viktor556:
I need help guys! I just installed tip drinkers in my battery cage and many of the nipples won't stop dripping water. I thought it's only supposed to drip water only if birds peck on it.

Comments/opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.
