Bagging it is not the problem, but when it is bagged nobody wants to carry it bcoz its wet and has heavy ordor

hayor2014:
@chikach The plague of poultry farming is the litter, u should just ensure that as little water as possible is used for initial cleaning and ensure that the litter is bagged and then use water to wash off the gutter, litters should be bagged with the sacks for the feed..

Thanks bro, i have heard of larvicide, but it is not currently avaliable in my state, Imo pls add me on whatsapp 08038912791 if you can buy it and waybill it for me thanks.

TollyD:
Mixing the bird feeds with larvicide (To Eliminate flies and reduce odor). You also dig about two pit about 4ft deep, don't cover it, use alternately (when one is full use the second one) to allow the dropping to dry. You can them excavate and spread the dried dropping

Fellow Farmers please how do i dispose battery cage litters, its always wet & nobody wants to buy or carry them, i even dug a soakaway pit, yet it got filled up within a month and the ordor is nothing to write home about......pls help am stranded

alakara:
400g, you're on the right track.Which breed if I may ask?

Thanks for Answering.....

trusteeggs:
Thank you but I buried it immediately it died as advised by my vet, he advised I buy oxytet la to inject the three sick birds but because I have vaccinated twice, deformed twice, used antibiotics all within two weeks I'm afraid cos each time I use a vaccine or drug, one dies.

oxytet la is a powerful Antibiotics, i have used it before, 0.5mls per bird, make sure you give them Vitamins after the injection because the injection will make them very weak, but in the morning the will be up.

I wish you all the best brother

trusteeggs:
Dear friends,
Pls I got POL at 17wk 5days, gave vitamins for two days and then ND+IB, one died the next day, gave antibiotics (Conflox) for 5 days and one died on the third day of Conflox, gave ivermectin the next day after conflox for two days, vitamin for one day and then 3in1. One died this afternoon from stargazing; the head was practically on the floor. I noticed three still have swollen eyes as in their eyes are always closed and loss of appetite and once in a while you hear a horn-like cry from the flock. I'm a new farmer and it's like it's one thing to another. I don't want to lose another one again. Please advise urgently

My Humble Advice is take any dead bird for post morterm test, That way we know what exactly is wrong with the bird

almeida3:
I gave Lasota last week Tuesday.. When they were two weeks exactly...

Any mortality?

I suspect Newcastle, Pls repeat Lasota after 10days thats on Friday 16th Dec

almeida3:
Good morning gurus! I vaccinated my 3weeks old layer pullets this morning (Gumboro), Immediately after the vaccination, I noticed their feet were cold, Then I decided to introduce heat to the brooder. After about a few minutes, some of them started having twisted neck but recovered after sometime. However one is still in a bad state right now. Please Can someone explain what happened + what should be done.. Thanks.
P. S
I stay in Jos.. Room temperature is about 26°c

Sorry about your problem, when last did you give Lasota Vaccine?

bosaty2003:
Dear Farmers.
My eggs are small and my birds are 42wks age now. I sell at N800/crate.
Kindly advise which drug to give them to boost the size of the egg production. I am using hybrid feed. the birds are healthy and Okay.

regards.

OCS BOOST or Androle Extra Lay

GidiPrince:
Hello, my layers are 2 months into lay and I haven't seen a significant change in the size of the eggs. When should I be expecting bigger size? They consume between 100g-120g daily.

Which feed are you using......Try animal care feed or hybrid feed

IdisuleOurOwn:
I don't know about pullet size but as for medium size, its #1000 from farm. Retailers sell #1200 to those mai chayi guys while they sell one for #60. ( 60*30 = 1800).


Please, what brand of layer mash are you using? Top feed, vital, hybrid or which one? And how much. I have pullets and am using top-feed though change to vital feed now due to the price of top feed but, they seems not to like vital feed. Am asking for future purpose when they start laying.

Use only Top,vital,animal care & hybrid to get maximum production in layers

ownurlife:
1,200 Point of Lay at 13 weeks going to 14 weeks available for sale at Oyo town. If you are interested contact me through my signature asaap

Thanks

How much are you selling?

EMMAACHILE:
It could be wrong dosage.

what quantity of water do you dillute 1000D of lasota with for Laying birds?

jfkenny:
I used the same lasota but didn't record any mortality.

Ok what do you think might have been my problem? My vet where i got the vaccine said he used it on his farm previously but no Mortality was recorded.

[img][/img]

Pls friends beware of this particular Lasota vaccine.......it has caused me up2 9 mortality now 3days after administrating this particular vaccine.... Birds are currently on Viracid & vitamins c

bigiyaro:
thanks. Though I've already gotten an antibiotics to mix with tylodox n vitamins. Let me try this treatment and see, if it doesn't work out, i will try the septrin. Thanks again.

Some brioler cough hardly goes, if the birds are of age pls sell and restock

EMMAACHILE:
Recommended diet on broiler chicks based on this research below
Starter 0-7 days
Grower 7-42 days
Finisher 43-56 days
This according to research produced a healthier and bigger weight broiler than those fed on starter to finisher diet.
Summary of research for those who may be too lazy to read through.

The optimum duration for feeding starter diet to birds grown to a target weight of approximately 3.3 kg appears to be no more than 7 days.

Inclusion of the finisher diet earlier than 42 days resulted in a reduction in body weight, a deterioration in feed conversion and calorie utilization, an
increase in abdominal fat, and a reduction in breast meat yield.
Given typical cost differences among starter, grower, and finisher diets, the economic impact of changing diets at earlier ages may be considerable.

oreszy:
Good day farmers..pls I need advise on what feed to gv to my broilers (5wks) to make them meet up standard for festive period..i.e to gain better weight
Thanks..

Give Hybrid finisher or any good Finisher Feed.
Also Give vitamins for 4days Alternate weeks
Finally Give Light throughout the night.......Big Rechargable Lamp can work

virgo87:
Good morning farmers

Plz I hv 200 broilers n they're consuming 1bg of grower mash daily @ wk 5. I need advise on how to. Reduce feeding cost . Thanks

First of All Broilers dont eat Grower feed,
Starter Feed Day old - 4weeks
Finisher Feed - 4weeks till you sell them

Reducing The Feed will Affect their weight gain, So my advice, switch to Finisher feed to get the required live weight and also give them vitamins for 3-4days so that the will not be stressed during the feed changing progress

bosaty2003:
thank you Chikach,
kindly advise some egg boost that is relevant for layers at 34wks.

thanks.

Oc Boost or Neo oxy Egg formular (by kepro)

Felshow:
Good day house please I need help. My pullet (obasanjo) are 19 weeks old. I have given them all the vaccines except 3 in 1. I have 138 birds and the vaccine is so expensive. please farmers that have few birds how do you get like 200 dose of 3 in 1 vaccine?

No 200 Dose, 500D is the lowest,

My Advice, close ur eyes and buy the 500D its around #8000

Egg Drop Syndrome is not a nice stuff @all

This vacine is important Because anytime your production crashes, it can easily come up back but without this vacine it hardly/never comes back, so just close eye buy the vaccine.

Good Luck

bosaty2003:
Good day professional farmers,
Please I need your advise on what to give my layers to increase productivity.
they 400 currently doing 70% production. its a deep litter system, eating 2 bags of animal care laymore per day, well taken care off and all drugs and vaccination up to date. please what could be responsible and kindly advise.

When they are due for Lasota, Deworm only 1day, Then Give Lasota Next 2days, After Lasota Give Egg boost (oc boost or Neo Oxy Egg Fumular)for 5days the following day after Lasota. You will See Result in 2weeks time

Yes NCD Possible thats why its advicable to give Lasota at day 8,

Also Brooding (Heating) might be another factor, mayb the heat was not enough, Pls Which Antibiotics did you use during the Brooding stage.

Nacre1:
