From the farmers forum today.
I got answer to my earlier question on the withdrawal of antibiotics b4 Laxota.
the Answer. Antibiotic does not interfere with Viral Vaccines and hence no withdrawal period except the day of the vaccination.

..
Which forum is that?

@farmtech is it advisable to give dem extra vitamins eventhough d antibiotics contains vitamin already. Because told when we used d vitamins we had increase. Just want to prevent break in production

..
U can use the antibiotic alone if you want. But I doubt if the vitamin content can be compared with vitamins.

Oga farm tech. Wat is ur reasons. Cos me i did nt follow his advice today oo. We placed dem on vitamins. But the antibiotics vitamins will be used in a couple of days. Pls explain y u said i should ff the vet advice

..
Bc if they're brooding infectn currently, vitamin alone cannot handle it.

That's fowlpox but with just 5 no need to vaccinate. Or better still, find a poultry farmer with many birds and ask him to give u little vaccine when he'll be vaccinating his own birds. For the mean time give them neoceryl plus and vitamins.

l understand, internet is still expensive in Nigeria. Something came up which needed my attention, so l met the programme half-way but there will be a re-run on Saturday evening. l have several several videos on vermiculture across India, Philippines and Kenya and also based how l have seen it being practically done, l will create a thread later in the day, detailing step by step procedure with pictures, utilizing the waste materials around us, so anyone can set it up easily.

Ok tnks.

Urgent Advice Needed:

My young Pullets are due for MAREK'S Vaccination on Friday (Day22) based on my vaccination schedule,

1. But I would like to know 'how late is too late' to administer Marek's Vaccine in pullets.?

2.Since it is believed that hatcheries have already done the vaccination at day old, must it be repeated in farm?

Thanx as u respond.

..
My own vaccination plan from animalcare lab place merek's on day 25. You need to give this second dose.

macdot:
You will feed broilers with broiler starter while you feed the layers with chicks mash.

..
Are the feeds different in ur area? In mine you use broiler start for both broilers and layers.

davidzfarm18:
The great FarmTech. Thanks.

.. Wlcm sir.

davies427:
Gm house. I noticed that my birds have lice, we treated dem wit lice meds, a week later. Lasota was due n it was given. We gave them water for the rest of the days. Soo on tuesday we started dem on antibiotics wit vitamins n now production has drop from.90 crates to 84 crates. Informed my vet today of this finding
He told me to continue wit the antibiotics vitamin. But i am thinking since we treated wit lice med, and followed wit lasota. We shld follow up wit vitamin n let dem take dat for couple of days b4 we proceed with the antibiotic vitamin. Pls i want to knw if i shld follow is instruct or just give vitamins for few days.

..
Ff ur vet's advice.

Dorammy:
Pls my senior colleagues o! I need help badly o! I ve lost 9 layer chicks in 3 days! Wat am I doing wrong. Pls help. I got 50 broilers and 50 layers chicks. So far I ve nt lost any broiler but I dnt understand why am loosing d layers.
D first day I brought them homee I gave them glucose in their water.
Feed: top feed starter.
Second day, I added vitalyte to their water
Feed: d same
Today is d 3rd day, I added annicillin to dia water
Feed : same
Bt from my observation I think d broilers are climbing/lying on the layers. Cos I dnt think its disease dats killin dem, when I pick dem up, they ll be half dead, like in pains, either their neck or leg is broken.
How do I manage dz situation now. Thanks

..
At a point u have to separate the broilers from layers so the broilers won't kill them. Have u given gumboro and lasota vaccine?

Pavore9:
After watching it in the next 2 hours, l would try and post step by step procedure.

..
Good idea, some people like me can't watch online videos for now.

manya:
@Eggcellent, i have given them keproceryl a day after their arrival and also Vitalyte.
@Farmtech, i will give them Lasota on Monday 17th, that is when they will be a week in my farm. on 24th, i will give them Gomboro.
Thank you so much for your concern. As for the temperature spread, i have taken care of it now they don't form clusters. In fact the little birds are doing very well as of today their third day.
I welcome all suggestions from friends.
i am presently constructing a new house for broilers, 40feet by 12 feet to accommodate 500 birds. work has started today.

..
At what day old are u giving the vaccines? I'll advice u start gumboro at day 5, lasota day 7 etc.

Urgent advice Pls.

My birds of 24+wks have been hovering on 40% production for almost a week.
I noticed pale coloured eggs, soft shell and white shell eggs. I equally noticed greenish poo & black poo.
I called in my vet and he adviced I deworm the birds immediately, give vitamins for 2days and repeat laxota. The last one was administrated on the 27th of last month.(3wks)
His reason was that the last vaccine failed.
he sited a similar case with his farm due too failure of a particular brand of vaccine which I equally used.

My worry is the black and green poo.
I had initially bought totravet for the coccidiosis(black poo) to be administered for 2 days and Neoceryl Plus for another 5days before giving the vaccine next week.
Should I follow the vet's advice or stick with belief that you don't vaccinate sick birds.

..
I'll say ff ur vet's advice plus give antibiotics like tylodox after deworming. And yes, don't vaccinate sick birds.

jamp:
It depends on your location. Its around 6k-7k

.. Tnks.

I'm currently trying out this, but at a very small scale

It fruits continously for two yrs & die...

..
Then this is a good tree to plant on hired land. In case the owner goes greedy and decide to chase u away, u simply tell him: ok, u can take ur land. Very soon he'll start wondering why the pawpaw are dieing.

Shangai farm in rivers state is not in Afam area but in Tai LGA on d way to NYSC camp ,take bus going to Onne, drop at d juction before d turning to d camp , pick a bike to shangai farm .
S seedlings are sold for N200 each, they are 2 months old so it start flowing at 4 months after planting that means d plant is 6 months old
Am not sure they sell d seeds
Be carefull when transplanting b/c of d roots once any is cut d plant will die

..
Tnks. But do they sell seeds?

BELEXYFARMS:
Which of the feeds bro? Though i think layers mash will be better because of the calcium content in it.

..
Layers mash will be fine, but like I said u also have to consider cost vs profit. Snails will do fine with nutritious leaves, fruit and calcium supplement. If u'll use concentrates, formulate a low cost one.
