Please anybody using access signature card here??

Day 14
Mortality..... 1
cause of death.... Possible vaccination failure
Brooding stage is now over....
Permanent site.....

So far the only issues in the farm is just cough which is being tackled with tylodox.... And one of our bird has swollen eye filled with cloudy substances for some days now, the eye is always closed... But good news, we have suspected that it was caused by worms in the eye and is being tackled with drops of Ivermectin solution directly into the affected eye... Though it is not a very recommended way to treat eye worm but it is effective...
More info to come as time unfolds

Day 11...
Mortality.... Zero
Gumboro vaccine was administered today, followed by multivitamins... Though this vaccination was supposed to be administered by day 10, it was rather done today because yesterday was Sunday and we could not get the vaccine....

Commercial feeds from my research does not give desired results

I formulated my own feeds...

Day 7.....
Mortality is still at zero..
Anti cocci was administered through water...
Birds are very agile, though some are having little cough which will be treated as soon as possible...
Heat source have been removed permanently....
Windows open for good ventilation

Haliraph:
Please how much will it cost to raise 100 broilers?

100 broilers to week 8 should not cost you more than 80k to 90k excluding feeders, drinkers, and pen house constructions

Haliraph:
Please how much will it cost to raise 100 broilers?

For how many weeks do you want to keep them? Do you have a pen house already?

Day 6...
Mortality is still at zero...
Antibiotics and multivitamins have been withdrawn from their water...
Birds are very agile and always eating.....
Heat application is at a minimum or should I say controlled manner, i.e we monitor their behavior towards the heat supplies... During the day they pant and run from it so we just give heat during the cool evening and at night..... We plan to totally remove the heat source after day seven...

Sure brother... That is the essence of this trend

matoseyems:
Following, plz update regularly as I want to learn fro u and start doing same too.


Thanks

Day 3.....
Zero mortality... Still on multivitamins and antibiotics....
Very agile and they have even started growing feathers on their wings... And its very noticeable...

Of a truth charcoal is way cheaper but I had already bought kerosene that will go through brooding... But I have taken note of that.... Thanks guys

Forgot to post this..... Antibiotics used was gendox... And multivitamins was neobro

Yeah.. Buh the heat produced by the stoves can cover the whole room... Although this room can brood 200 or more, we are using it because it based on availability... If a smaller room was available it would have been used instead... Thanks for the observation though

EMMAACHILE:
The spacing is too much. Kudos. Expecting to raise some soon.
Agrited Ross 308 or Obj Marshal. I want tall birds abeg.

Upon arrival they were given water first containing vitamins for anti stress and antibiotics .....2 kerosene stoves was used as sources of heat..

Arrival of birds..... 100 agrited broilers... plus 1 extra per carton that is total of 102 birds and all are still intact....

Brooding pen preparation

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while my data was exhausted... My birds were supposed to come in on Tuesday but could not be delivered because of Independence Day... So they will come in first thing tomorrow morning..

Actually there are two of us starting with 50 each... Making it a hundred

pdozie:
Why not start with 50 for a start? There is always room for expansion

It's 13 by 10 ft sir[

EMMAACHILE:
That structure looks larger than 13 feet. Can you take the size again?

LordKingsley:
I think the space available is very small for one hundred birds. To a large extent, space affects the performance of poultry.

That pen house ia 13ft by 10ft.. That is stocking at 1 bird per 1.3 sq ft or 9 birds per sq metres which is not up to the recommended spacing pwr bird which is 10 to 12 birds per sq metres or 1 bird per 1.1 sq ft....

how do you mean sir... Please enlighten me

EMMAACHILE:
That density will not be sustainable

More to come

Good day folks, I would love for everyone to join me as I embark on this epic farm journey... Though it's my first time, I intend to stock a hundred birds as Christmas is my first target.... I will be posting details of my day to day progress and pictures on this trend... Please advice and critics are highly needed on this trend to put me in the right direction incase I am doing it wrong.... Pictures of my ongoing pen house constructions are below..... 13 by 10ft... Stocking at 1 bird per 1.3 sq ft...

Good day house... Please can someone help me with the current price of DOC broilers, grower and finisher feed.. I plan to start a small farm of 200 birds next month to gain experience and I want to make out my cost analysis... Thanks for your assistance
