femimat:. This are times of the year where production drops. U will have to make sure u feed ur birds early, the drinking water is also fresh. The fresh i mean is, it just been pumped into their tank n dey consume it instantly. Reason is u dont want them to drink hot water. Also u will have to give vitamins. U may need to drop ur corn intake down. I have same issues also in my farm. These r just d steps we took. I hope i was able to help a lil 2 Likes |

I use the injectable once every ten weeks but I notice my birds laying drops from 14 to 15 crates a day drops to 8 -9 and maintains like that for about a month or month and a half after the vaccine is given to them and also it is very expensive that's why I want to stop using it. my vet doctor however said I should not do so because it will affect, I don't trust him totally that's why am here to get a second opinion so please respond urgently if you have the info I need because they are almost due for another vaccination. thank you. please quote me if you have experience on this kind of issue.

[quote author=Tomi247 post=46544080]Hello wonderful farmers, I'm very new to brooding or rearing birds I got some pullets doc recently and I have a guts feeling that the chart I was giving is not very valid pls can anyone see this image and tell me where to do corrections. U can debeak day 10 or day 2. Dont knw about the place u use. U can also vaccinate for ecoli n salomnea. It expensive but prevention is better than cure. Also ur feeding. Do u make ur feed or u buy finished feed. If u make them. I will advise u to use bone bisphosohate. It is sold at agrited. It better than using ordinary bone. Regular vitamin also. |

obstead200:. My bros i no be brainac for this business ooo. Although i run my own farm, i learn more from this website than anything. In regards to this ur last question, let the gurus in the house answer it. Advice to u is to visit other farms n see hw things r done. N u make improvement or learn from there mistakes n correct it on ur own farm. W |
Agriculture / Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by davies427: 7:48am On Jul 29, 2015 |
obstead200:. That is nt wat he is saying, from my experience if there is no adequate ventilation on the farm. One may experience issues like this farmer is experiencing. Also when building a pen it nt advisable to build on the wall or close to the wall. I have experience a sitaution like that on the farm, where we had thick bush or grass any hw u call it. Until we started making sure that we cut dem routinely dat when we started seeing more eggs. Also ventilation is also very important when constructing a pen. |
