What do you mean by LA?
Is the pen well ventilated? What is the height of the side walls?
What floor spacing are you using?
Which antibiotic did the lab recommend? Did they do antibiotic sensitivity test?

Nice. Nwokem is bn a while... How are ur birds doing and biz in general? Hv u re-stocked? I'm contemplating weather 2 go for CHI this time around because the size of eggs of farmsupport are not that big. Did u hv same experience?
..
My birds are still laying. As for restocking, I want to wait to know whether this bird flu thing will spoil market. I also experience small egg sizes but I don't know whether it's from farmsupport or myself. They once suffered from heat stress, mycoplasma G. and when feed was scarce, we have to feed a little bit less. Change is constant, so there is nothing wrong with testing other hatcheries, but I think all birds have the genetic capacity to lay larger eggs if you manage them well. The problem sometimes may be from we farmers.

10.The Ugly ones:]These sets of people have been forcing themselves on the opposite se.x long before the val's day but as soon as the day approaches,they all alone.These categories of people are commonly ladies who don't have any swag,who put on un-attracting skirts that are long to their toes,they have no features on their body to attract a guy,the least goes on and on.As such,they relax in their single apartment all day.
..
See how you look down on modesty here. In case you don't know, real christian guys that want to engage in relationship go for girls that dress modestly, not those that try to sample one part of their body or the other. We are not of the world, so we don't behave and dress as the world does. The road that lead to hell is broad and many ply that road. So be careful how you condemn modesty - directly or indirectly.

5KW per day or per hour? Biodigesters are not sized like that. They are sized according to the volume of slurry they can contain.
..
They can be sized like that. For example, 1000 dairy cows is equivalent to about 250kw. These are cows fed very well with corn silage etc.

@ Jamp and Oga farmtech, I need to vaccinate my bird against fowl tyhoid next week. What's the advice? Are you saying there should be no vaccination because of tje weather?
..
No, we said dont vaccinate sick birds or birds that appear sick. Treat them first and when they are healthy, vaccinate. In hot weather, vaccination failure is very common. Find a way of minimizing the effect by following the link I shared above. If you do that your vaccinations will likely succeed. There are also tests that can help you determine if vaccination was successful or not. It's called serological test. You do the test before vaccination and repeat it 3-4 weeks after vaccination. The result will tell you if vaccination was successful or not. That way u can avoid huge loses like the poster above. But in nigeria animal labs seem to be scarce or costly and small holders may not afford it. More about serological test here: http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-Chickens-How-to-Prevent-Diseases-when-Your-Birds-Finally-Start-Laying

AgricultureRe: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by FarmTech(mod):
Those signs means sickness is somewhere. If there is a lab nearby, go for lab test, else you can give them antibiotics like tylodox with multivits. Don't vaccinate in that condition.

i wanted you to clarify your first response. the question Eggcelent is for laying birds but the answer you gave is for birds under 16wks.

thanks for the clarification.
if he did not give them before they start laying, it is advisable he do. No need to take chances and play with newcastle disease. But next time, he shud give them before laying starts.

bros are you saying i can administer Komorov to the birds now. i have been giving them lasota oral since May last year
..
How old are they? Komorov injection is usually given at week 9 after lasota have been given several times. If u give komorov before lasota, many birds will likely fall sick. Most vaccinations should be done before laying starts.

AgricultureRe: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by FarmTech(mod): 4:07pm On Feb 10, 2015
House. What are the pros & cons of administering Komorov injectible vaccine as against Lasota Oral vaccine on birds in lay? Won't the stress be too much to the point of affecting laying performance in the long term? The oral vaccine appears to be less potent cos of the heat stress. Opinions, please
For complete protection against NCD, you must give lasota several times at first and then inject with komorov. It's a must. If you have had bad experience with injecting komorov before, it is due to some other reasons you don't know about. Injectable vaccines are effective only after the oral ones has been given.

i have given them iovaccine,gomborm vaccine,vitalyte,intergendox,,glucomol drug .thir dropping is ok.boss thanks for ur concern
..
I will advise you to go for lab test since it is impossible to tell what is wrong in this case. The lab test will also tell you the best antibiotic to use because some bacteria are now becoming resistant to some antibiotics. That's why if you give some antibiotics the birds won't respond to it. I'll also recommend you read this to see where you're getting it wrong: http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-Chickens-10-Tips-on-How-to-Avoid-Early-Chick-Mortalities

good morning farmers in d house. i made a mistake in d first post. they are actually 4months old and not 4weeks

my birds (200 layers ) are 4months now but have not been debeaked yet. can I still go ahead to debeak them. hope it is not too late

If you don't want them to eat all their eggs (exagerated), do it NOW before they start laying.
