Can anyone help me sell point of Lay at 17 weeks. I am ready to pay for consultancy.

How old are the birds? Are dey black or brown? Where is ur farm located? What is d source of the birds?

Hello house,
I recently noticed this on a few of my birds. I guess it is fowl pox. The birds were vaccinated when they were 12 weeks, they are now over 60weeks. Please how do I treat this? Do I need to re-vaccinate? Thanks.

Hello house, please what are the factors that affect egg shell colour?

fnk:
I can tell you right now that I think there are a lot of things, solutions that can act like that, I just think that we have all followed the crowd in most cases. And example here is that I remember in some pages back, where everyone coming on board as only interested in POL because that was threading, everyone seems to just want to start making money right away without learning the industry or at least understanding some of the processes of poultry farming. So we jump in in the middle without even thinking outside the box.

When I lived in Uruguay, where we had our first poultry farm, and this is where the idea of; if you can clean the water that these birds drink very well and also keep the water in a state that bacteria cannot survive in it, you can grown healthy birds without synthetic medication. Now guys, this idea is unconventional, but it works. We had a water treatment company with our key product from Brazil, it was a physical catalyst, the apparatus is connected to the water line, and as the water hits the cells in this apparatus, a change occurs in the molecular structure of the water, leaving it in a diamagnetic state, and when water is in a diamagnet state, bacteria can not survive in it, and bunch of other benefit to the water and its containers, i.e, pipes, tanks etc. So, using this treatment system in our poultry, we noticed that birds grow better and was healthier, they eat more and the morality was less, and we used less drops.

I know some of us are almost in a race against ourselves to make it big, but if you take time to look into these questions " How else? What else?" I promise you, you will find your own system, a system that works.

Warning: I am not saying to drop everything you are doing to pursue this alternatives, just a small lab in your farm and experiment.

@ fnk : you have spoken well but you have to consider peole like me who have little knowledge about science related matters but have passion for this field. Also we are all not equally opportuned to assess d level of exposure,finance etc that some have...will plead u be more elaborate and help us direct our research. Most pple hav limited funds that can cater for a few birds talk more of try stuffs we copy on the internet that might cause a great loss.

How old is the bird and if it has laying at what age did it start laying?
Are you sure you didnt start feeding it on layers mash too early?
Was there blood stains on the eggs it laid (if you took time to monitor and was able to pin point the eggs it laid)?

D bird is 47weeks old, started laying on d 18th week. Its likely there was blood stain on the egg although d other birds were peaking it so not sure if d blood below it was frm d peaking or egg laying. By the way, I operate the deep liter system.

Hello house...pls the amount of fat in d bird in d picture too much? If yes, how can it be reduced?

pet01:
Pls why is animalcare feed price always rising. From N2050 to N2100 as at 1 month ago and now N2140, what is going on?

Cost of feed has risen generally.I bought Vita feed concentrate last week for 3100, the price is now 3200. Scarcity and high cost of Soya is attibuted to all dis increase. Cost of Maize and wheat Offal is also on the high side.

How are you guys coping with d currect market situation?

Hello house, has any one tried Vita feed layer concentrate and was it ok?

Hello fellow farmers...I have eggs for sale at good price. Our farm is located at ibadan,u can contact me on 08038525537.

naughtylagosguy: Wow. That's nice. I have one more question. Please do you advise one start with DOC or POL?

Well...it depends on a lot of factors. Some are of d opinion dat first timers shuld start wit POL cos of d stress of brooding and time it will take for d birds to start laying but starting from DOC actually helped me to understand d field better...it opened me to a lot of experience. For DOC u hav to hav enough captial for medications,vaccinations and feeding till about 18-24weeks....etc
