#how can one eliminate the smell dat emanates for a poultry pen?

.. Keep the litter dry and avoid overstocking.

Bumbum7:
Fantastic job you are doing Farmtech. I would like to share with you that it is better to give Marek's vaccine @ the hatchery and repeated @ day 3 for adequate immunity against Marek's disease which is a viral infection of poultry birds. Therefore, by day 35, infection would have probably be on but won't be noticed till the birds are about 16weeks when they are mature to lay.

..
Thanks for the contributn. They were given marek's at the hatchery and I'm following lab vaccination plan.

am interested in this... Please how much does it cost to open a poultry farming. Or better still we can talk private

unitysheart:
FarmTech please kindly tell us how much it will cost us to setup a small farm please.

..
I can't say specifically bc it can differ base on location. But you can to consider cost of building the pen, cost of buying day old chicks and budget like N900/bird to cover cost of feeding, vaccination and medication.

freshthugga:
Wetin be my own

.. Bro take a bold step and start sth. You may be suprise at the outcome.

nairacountry:
Weldone bro, like how many days does it take the whole fold of your birds to finish a bag of meal in this order:
1. first 2weeks old
2. btw 2-4weeks
3. btw 4-8weeks
4. 8weeks to date.
thanks it will come handy in a little calculation im doing. once again, thanks

..
I use this feeding chart as a guide.

Spidermon:
Nice thread OP.
@ farmtech, for your DOC beddings, I would advice you use dry wood shavings(not sawdust) covered with layers of newspaper to avoid the mold problem.

CeceNene:
Well done OP. So am thinking instead of rice hull for bedding why no use saw dust? I think better though. Atleast from 3 weeks and for the brooding house you can get old newspaper which you ll have to change like every other day. My opinion though.

..
Newspaper will soon become slippery and this can cause leg deformation like spraddle leg. I use rice hull at the young stage bc I'm sure they're free of chemicals. But once they're like 2 months, I use wood shavings, not sawdust.

manfred131:

2. Why Do Farts Smell Bad?



The more sulfur-rich your diet is, the more terrible your farts will smell. Some foods contain more sulfur than others, which is why eating things like beans, cabbage, cheese, soda, and eggs can cause gas that will peel the paint off the walls!

..
I know how you can prevent excess farting after eating beans.
..
Just soak the beans is water overnight or for like 8hrs. Drains the water and wash it. Boil it for few minutes (but don't allow it to get done) and drain away the hot water. Wash the beans again and cook as normal.

midolian:
ya prophet prophesized Jonathan will win 2015 election but there ll be no peace in Nigeria. Abeg no vex, u are following a fake prophet

http://www.informationng.com/2015/01/2015-jonathan-will-win-but-i-dont-see-peace-primate-ayodele.html

..
If that is the case, the prophet is correct bc pdp won. There was massive rigging in the north with small children even voting. The evidence was all there but to avoid blood shed, Jonathan decided to listen to "the word of God" and step down.

eluyebamayowa:
@farmtech...pls wat s dia age nw...if they av started layin wat s dia productn rate?

..
10 weeks and.

kevin96:
Nice one farm tech ..pls can u trow more lite on d gas brooder. Were can someone get it? And how does it work?

..
Gas brooder is used to supply heat when they're young. As of now I don't know where to get it, but I'll ask an animalcare affiliate and vets where to get it.

obstead200:
farmtech, u too much.
there are really very few pple here on nairaland who understand the scientific aspect of poultry farming the way u do.

I will like to have ur contact.

..
Contact me on facebook @henry ikeme. Spammers won't let one share phone number publicly.

Pavore9:
You can start with a 3ft by 6ft space and set 2 coaches of blocks, plantain/banana stem, cow dung and 2kg of earthworm. l am very engaged right but promise to give details later.

Ok, waiting.

Joive:
You need 4bags of NPK ( 15:15:15) per ha. 25 kg per bag.

pls does fertilizers come in 25kg bags? How much is the 15:15:15?

kolafas1:
...... He IRA not far from being correct.... U can source land from any river basin in Nigeria for as low as 2500 naira but u yet need to pay for harrowing which is about 13k

..
Thanks.

Seun:
Where can one get red wiggler worms in Nigeria? I want to use them to dispose organic wastes in an environmentally friendly way.

..
It is the normal earthworm u know. Op, thanks for making me interested in this next is practicalizing it.

Cabunice:
Weldon bro nice job,pls my question is dis what is d work of vitacox on chicks

...
It is a sulfa base drug used against coccidiosis and other diseases. See more here: http://www.kepro.nl/catalogus/product-106.html?ref=adv&ingredient=0&animal=0&type=0&cat=5.

Pavore9:
l am really okay with pigs. l did visit a pig farm some months back and was so impressed as the owner feeds them from fodders he grow hudroponically. There were looking so robust like yahoo boys! How do you see also feeding poultry birds with earthworms?

..
Earthworm is good for them. I plan doing that when I set up an integrated farm. Space is needed to grow large number of them. I'll be doing it in small scale for the main time.

manfred131:
I've seen and replied the pm. thanks.

.. I sent u my number right? Call me when you'll come.
