*5 REASONS WHY YOUR BROILERS DON'T GROW UNIFORMLY BUT SOME GROW BIG AND SOME GROW SMALL AFTER FEEDING EQUALLY.*

Have You Ever Bought Day Old Broilers And After 2weeks Of Feeding You Found Out That Their Growth Is Not Uniform?

It can be so painful and saddening after spending thousands of naira to buy birds, buy feeds, buy their vaccines and medications and their other essential needs and later discovering that after all those efforts your birds are not growing or some are growing more than the others or you just discovered that your birds are not uniform. I can tell that kind of situation can be so disheartening and depressing and make you want to give up on poultry farming. But wait for hold on don’t give up there are a lot of things you didn’t know and didn’t learn about before you started your poultry farm, and this lack of knowledge I bet will cost you more than what you will have used to acquire the necessary knowledge before starting.

Now straight to business do you know broilers are not just broilers in Nigeria? the hatcheries that sell broilers to us in Nigeria sell different types of breeds to us that’s why if you buy For example agrited (Ross 308) last month and this month you bought Zartech (Cobb 500) you will have different results. And if you don’t know about this before, have written a post about it just scroll up in the group to find the post.

HERE ARE THE 7REASONS WHY BIRDS DONT GROW UNIFORMLY.

1) The hatchery you ordered your birds from or the type of broiler breed you were supplied.- The first reason your birds don’t bring out quality is that they are not from quality hatcheries so if you buy birds from suppliers because the birds they advertised to you are far cheaper than the hatcheries that produce quality birds your birds are very likely not to grow uniformly. and you may end up with results you won’t like.

2)You don’t prioritize the first 5days of your birds.
While every day in the life of a broiler chicken is important to their growth and the first 5 days can make or mar the life of your chicks. In other words, what you do or fail to do in the first five days can impact your chicks throughout the rearing season, be it 6 weeks or more. So, you must pay close attention to your chicks and give them the necessary attention needed to give them a good start. Get a good multivitamin, Antibiotics, and Anticoccidiosis for them, and also feed them professional or good starter feed for their first 7days.

3)Your male birds always grow fast and are always bigger than the female birds.
Males birds eat well and faster than female birds and because of this, even if your birds are healthy and you have done all things to make them have the same weight they still won’t because the females will always weigh lower than the males

4)You don’t lay a good foundation for your birds because you feed them low-quality feeds even on Day 1? Oh no no don’t do this don’t ever do this because if you do you have already caused problems for them. Feeding your birds low-quality feed starting from day one will make them give you results you don’t want to have in the next few weeks.

5)Another reason why you may later end up with non-uniform birds is because of a disease outbreak and this will occur if you Don’t care for your birds and don’t brood them with the required heat they need at day old. If you also give your birds low-quality feeds they won't be able to build the immune system that will help them resist and fight against diseases and this will also make you spend more money on drugs and medications. If you brood your birds well you will spend less on their medications.
