Olushurlly:
Hi house, please what's the current price of broiler starter and finisher 25kg each (top feed)?

TrustZee:
pls farmers, I need a reply

dam4wummy:
have a budget of 700-800 per bird

TheShade:


It is because the farmer allowed it by succumbing to the antics of middlemen. Please go and check egg retail price in market and find out if there is any fall in price, it rather went up. The question then is; who is benefiting from the reduction in the price at the farm? Middlemen of course.

As a farmer you need to be strong financially and don't bite more than what you can chew, i.e. Don't expand beyond resources as that will lead to financial pressure. A situation whereby a farmer must sell the egg production for the day to be able to raise money for the feeds of tomorrow will lead to such farmer taking whatever price offered by the middlemen

Hello, the small eggs you have are called peewee eggs, that's the size you will get at first when your layers start laying eggs then after some weeks, they will start laying small, medium,large etc. I am like you too an d looking for peewee market and my Oga told me I can sell them for 500 a crate

What I'm saying is Dat I gave Dem gumboro first.... My mistake becos no one replied here n a friend told me I should give gumboro before lasota. The main issue here is that my chicks are still sleeping while standing and they are not eating well...thereby affecting their growth. Below are their pictures..
They will just put their heads down like that as if they want to eat and before you know, their eyes are closed. They are too dull.... Please what might be the cause. This is not huddling.....sir, help

Ayodapoemmanuel:

giving gumboro first is not your error but it could be error of administration, normally gumboro should be given btw 9-12 days after B1 vaccine which is optional(i don't use it) follow by lasota @ 14-16 days, follow by 2nd gumboro and lasota at a week interval to boost the 1st given. (Note: vaccination stress bird! So try to allow your bird to rest for atleast a week before given another vaccine)

officialfestus:
1st day,(marex diseases vaccine),method of vaccination(in drinking water)........
1-14days,(newcastle disease i.e1st dose) 14days.....(gumboro vaccine i.e 1st dose) 3-4 weeks (fowl pox vaccine) 4/5thweek(gumboro i.e 2nd dose),,,,6th week (newcastle disease vaccine komorov or lasota)

Hi House. I have 520 layers which are 50weeks old. I currently feed them 2.5 bags daily and i get an average of 14crates daily. The issue is with the current rise in the cost of feeds and reduction in the price of eggs, i am considering reducing their feeds to 2 bags daily.

I would need your kind advise on how it can affect production in the short and long run. Cos by feeding them half bag less i get to save 8,900 weekly which would go a long way in increasing the profit margin.

Thank you.
