Babacele:
by the 6 th week, 80% of d broiler birds I raise on vital usually show positive changes. Max birds are good birds too. check d date of expiry of d feeds, the weight of the birds 1.2 kg or smth now. n see if nothing is wrong, u can decide. hope no history of worms in your farm? just saying . Cheers

Sorry for asking this question. Please what is the meaning of "deworm"? How do I go about it? Please explain it for me to understand. Thanks.

hayor2014:
Please I need an advice..i want to do the concrete casting of my pen(layers pen with gutter) next week.... Do I need to cast with iron rod in the portion where the poo will drop.....

raphemmanuel:
do you mean their weight should be 1.2kg by now?
to indicate that the birds are doing well?

Babacele:
yes sir.

raphemmanuel:
no my dear it shouldn't be so. a broiler bird at 7 weeks should be more than that 1.2kg.
Have you forgotten that broiler are sold at 8 weeks with a weight that should not be less than 2.0kg.
now imagine 1.2kg at 7 weeks which means at 8 weeks they will be 1.7 to 1.8kg which is not up to market size.
For my birds they are 1.5kg at 7 weeks.
the reason while I said am not get a better results from vital feed was my birds attain 1.5kg at 6 weeks and I was expecting more from them, to my surprise they still maintain that same weight on 7th week and were eating more while some decline to 1.3kg.

olawale4725:


ђєll๐, we av d samr prob. Cn u pls share the pics after the casting has been done. I have 1k layers at my backyard so u cldnt dig a pit so as to prevent pollution to d neighborhood. Buh smtyms wen rain falls, it do wash out the poo under the cage which usually make my poultry dirty (i dnt knw if u do experience this) so i wnt to knw how the casting wld look like and the total cost. Plsssssszssszsssssssss

hayor2014:


I have not the problem you do cos I have birds yet... The estimate I was given was

100 bags of cement
2 trailer load of 30 tonne sharp sand or stone dust
1 trailer lost of 3/4down granite and labour cost of 160k...

That's all...will send the pics before(hopefully) and after(certainly)

most POL now in Nigeria come from good parent stocks but the management practices of the breeding companies defer: some maintain very high standards as regards feeding, biosecurity, vaccination, staff welfare etc which reflect on the State of the POL. e.g Obj, Zartech, Amo, Animal care etc I ll pm you that we can chat better.
