Farmers in the house pls help. i gave amprolium to my laying birds to trt coccidious n my egg production drop. what should i do. 28 wks old .plsssssssssss help

I must say I'm very surprised ure treating coccidiosis at that age, coccidiosis is a protozoan disease that is common in poultry! But I'm most cases only young birds ( 8weeks down),
How sure are you that its coccidiosis, the probability that its coccidiosis is very low, if you had seen blood stained faeces, from experience it could other causes such as a pecked vent, or maybe prolapse or some other mechanical injuries.
I have a feeling you treated wrongly
MY OPINION THOUGH.

Pls, where can I get DOC ( 50 broilers) needed for a start.
Please, reliable source.
Thanks in advance
You can always get DOC anywhere in the country, the only thing to be careful of is the source of the chicks, you have to be sure of what ure buying, I know this because I remembered there was a time I was working on a farm that produces DOC, people from outside come to the farm and atimes bring cartons of other big farms (such as zartech, obasanjo, CHI and co) to buy chicks,
I'm sure these chicks bought will be presented as chicks from the larger and more trusted farms!
So just be careful, its even harder for someone like you cos ure getting just one carton.
If ure ibadan, get in touch with me, I'm getting a carton too this morning for a friend, but I'm getting zartech chicks.
I hope I've been helpful?
Wish you success as you start the venture.

Hello, sorry u dint get answers to your questions, I've been off a while,
Well zartech broilers chicks cost about #200, but u know pprices are unstable, I'm getting their chicks this morning, so u can get to me by evening so I can give u the current price and as well give u their contact.
As for feed I'm not sure of the answer, but one thing I can say is that top feed is one of the best and most trusted feed in the country now,

Hello. Please I gave my birds the 3 in 1 vaccine at 20 weeks old (and they haven't started laying though even at 21) did I give them late? Will they ever lay and when? Thanks

Well I hate to say this but you did not do your rearing properly, how on earth did you wait til 20 weeks before giving 3 in 1 vaccine, a vaccine that should have been administered at the 17th week. Even at 21 weeks they should have started dropping, so that is also probably a reflection that the management in terms of feeding and others have not been adequate.
Just chill a bit they will drop soon. Goodluck.

Thanks to everyone for the valuable contributions to this thread. I am about to start my own farm but intend to start with Point of Lay birds for some economic reasons despite the capital cost.

Can anyone recommend a trusted farm where I can purchase POLs? My farm is located close to Asaba in Delta State.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can start with pol or poc.
But u must be careful based on the pol of lay you wants to buy, because some pol vaccination and medication is not complete and the seller will just sell it to gullible members of the public

@ papilpapilo90. A pen owner who has the same age of birds as mine ( they were brooded together) have started seeing eggs and they gave their birds the 3 in 1 vaccine a day after I gave mine..My birds look better than theirs

I'm in a Ado-ekiti there is well know farmer here call METROVET I source my birds through them, I'm also using their feed from day 1. But on the carton I could observe nastech was written, so I'm sure the got them from nastech.. The birds are Isa-brown. They started laying at 18th week and 6days exactly, they reach 50% output at the end of 21st and 80% at their 24th week.

Just 300 birds as I was advise to start little since I had no experience, going for more 500.

Well done bro. You have done really well. 90% production in deep liter, that is amazing.

I reside in ado too and would like to interact with you.
