Eggcelent:
mbuotidemjames. The reality of nutritional values of feeds is almost always different from what the manufactures claim especially in a country lacking control as ours. Besides, manufactures get their raw materials from different sources & at different prices, hence differences in cost of production/price. Also relevant is the knowledge that there are different formulas for producing similar feeds. My advise will be that you go for the feed which gives you the best result. Success. tunezvic. If you're sure you birds are otherwise in good health & the ventilation, as well as quality/quantity of feed is ok, I'll suggest you give stresoak + multivitamin with vitamin K to counter the heat stress. Success

Thanx man.

I noticed that the protein content in Hybrid feeds are more than that of Amobyn and Top feeds.......but why is top feed still costlier than hybrid when it is the protein that the chicks need to grow?
Can anyone here advise me to use Hybrid
..
A lot of factors is involve. They may have different production cost. Protein quality might differ and so on. It's now left for u to test the 2 feed on say, 6 birds each and find out which one is better. I'm currently doing a similar experiment with my feed and top feed.

That can't contain 100 birds. Management will also be cumbersome.

My story;

As a primary school teacher, I felt I was underpaid regardless of my selfless services therefore needed more cash as my needs increased daily. At a point in my life, the money I was borrowing from Friends and Family to meet my daily needs became more than my income, then I realized I needed other sources of income.

house what is the accurate dosage for administration of kepromec


Dosage and administration
For oral administration.
Poultry : 1 ml per 5 litres of drinking water (1 ml per 15 birds or 0.25 - 0.32 mg per kg bodyweight).
Cattle, sheep, goats : 0.2 ml per 10 kg bodyweight.
For control of ectoparasites (e.g. lice, mites etc.) repeat treatment the following day.
Medicated water should be used within 24 hours.

Additional dosage instructions for poultry:
1. Multiply the average weight of the birds to be treated with the number of birds.
2. Divide this total weight by 25 for the quantity (ml) of Kepromec Oral to be administered.
3. Administer this quantity of Kepromec Oral in 1/4th of the daily water consumption of the flock to be treated.
4. Withdraw normal fresh water 1 hour before administration.
5. Return to normal fresh water after complete consumption of the medicated water.

Withdrawal period

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by mbuotidemjames: 4:37pm On Mar 12, 2016
Helo great farmers...
Please I want to ask....anybody dat has reared Amo birds before?
How long does it take to mature?
How do they look?
Because this is my first tike of rearing them and its four(4) weeks now but they look like two weeks and three weeks olds birds....and some look stunted while hairs have grown all over them. I used to put Agrited before and by 4 weeks....they will grow fat and inviting.
Is it normal or is it from the type of feed im using(hybrid)?
Please advice urgently on what I must do to make them grow well....please help me.....i have uploaded their pictures too.

Note: its smaller than how its appearing on the picture.

Good-day sir, tylodox contains tylosin and doxycycline while doxitel contains doxycycline. If tylodox did not give you results, then doxitel would not likely give you as well. Has a Vet assessed your birds? If yes, what's the reason for the cough? If the suspicion is for CRD, you might want to consider another anti-mycoplasmal (like enrofloxacin or ciprofloxacin) for 5-7 days and afterwards, give mentofin for 3days to decongest/clear their airway (mentofin is given after completion of antibiotic treatment). If they are on deep litter, change the litter as well. Best of luck sir.
