Its Part of bio filter medium.They use it to control odour.

pls elaborate more on this. Odour control is very important. How are ur birds doing now.

Oga eggcelent how is ur farm.

davidzfarm18:
My Oga.
I know that ash is used in controlling odour and lies. it works by preventing the litters from caking (the birds used it for bathing)

do you think it(ash) can be used in battery cage system? if yes how do one apply it.

Hello house.
Has anybody tried using charcoal to control odor in the farm.I heard and read its effective especially activated charcoal.

segun1976:
Hello House,
Happy to announce that our birds dropped first egg last week @ 19wk 4days.however since then we have gotten atotal of only 24eggs from the 3,263 birds.
From all I have learnt from the seniorsin this forum I believe that there is nothing abnormal about this.
We continue to keep a close watch and take adequate steps towards good pullet management practices.
Your invaluable advice is always welcome.

congrats bro. You are on the right track. Am yet to see egg from my batch(19wks). You can stimulate them to sexual maturity by adding light. I intend to add light when they are 20wks.

cheers bro

My oga jamp, started work on the pen yesterday. Its actually in karshi (a place called gidan mudu). Under such a circumstance where one has to wait in line for 3 months for pullets, what are the alternatives? (I hope there are alternatives sir)

ok bro. there are other hatcheries you can book from. all my birds are from CHI except the POL i took from animal care. i believe the 3months will give you time to prepare. no need to rush. like Akaytopsy said farming is a game of time.

cheers

eggxel:
Thanx alot my noble sirs, eggcelent and jamp. There is a good chance I'll be your neighbour jamp as my farm is off orozo ( in one of ur post, if I correctly recall, u said u are in karshi); hope im right sir.

when are you starting?

why the rush for DOC pullets. CHI is fully booked till August.

bro are your birds from zartech too.

i will call you later.

Rip.

How much is DOC pullets and which hatchery

omotititi:
@Jamp....I will advice those that want battery cages to buy good quality cages. All these locally made will disappoint in the long run. I will rather buy 2-3 cages monthly till I get what I want than spend money on local cages.

What happened to your cages? i bought locally fabricated cages since 2013 and they are still in very good condition....please share with s your experience so that we can all learn.

Thank you sir.

The cages are still ok but some parts are rusting and some nuts are weak. The cages can not last up to 10yrs without maintenance. Also you will not get good return incase there is urgent need to raise cash .

Better thing good oooo but na money killl am

Eggcelent:
eggxel. Welcome on board. We wish you success in your proposed project. And we hope to also learn from you as we share ideas & knowledge.

More eggs to his crates soon....and to us too.........lol

Wise men bank with UBA

shiningme:
You can continue trying but would never get an answer. The addition of three odd numbers can never give you an even number just in the manner that ,- x -x- = -, three minus signs multiplied can never give a +.

You have a point

I will advice those that want battery cages to buy good quality cages. All these locally made will disappoint in the long run. I will rather buy 2-3 cages monthly till I get wht I want than spend money on local cages.

aAK1:
pls why did you say battery cages can't be used?

Odour from battery cage system is more than deep litter system. So its better to use deep litter in such enviroment

shiningme:
It has no answer. No need to disturb people, except you wanna change the base from base 10. For example using base five, 5+5+5=30., using base three, 3+3+3=30.

Are u sure it has no answer. I have tried dis severally and decided to bring it here

Is this difficult

Somebody should try this.

jamp:
Bro I want to visit ur farm dis period but dis fuel scarcity in abj is too much. Pls give me a day to come from now to thursday.

Finally we were @ Akaytopsy farm today. I learnt alot and hope to implement them in my farm.bros u are doing great.God will enlarge ur coast.

Akaytopsy and wife (MD) gave us sweet reception. IMELA

@lapsota & eggcelent.

Thanks for ur contribution. Sharing knowledge n experience is the trademark of this forum.

Eggcelent:
jamp. OK. Thanks for your response. I was just thinking about it earlier today & concluded that it might be an idea worth trying since Starter Mash contains higher M.E & C.P than the Growers Mash. Consequently, birds feeding on the former should gain more weight than those being fed Growers. The only question I haven't answered is the possible impact of the feeds on the birds' digestive system.

Yea starter mash contains high M.E & C.P but its mainly for building of reproductive organs and other sensitive organs. At 14wks most of the organs are formed already. The question that needs answer is does SM increases body weight. If yes then one can use from 0-16wks.

Like you said Its worth trying. I will experiment that once my 8wks batch reach 13wks.

What do you have to say about their weight? Do u think they can lay at 24wks?

Eggcelent:
jamp. You once thought of giving some stunted 14 weeks old pullet starter mash. Did you eventually go ahead with it? If yes, for how long & what was the result?

I didnt do it again cos some people adviced I placed them on multivitamin an feed them well. Someone said its not wise to give a short 3yr old boy breast milk.

My vet doctor wast happy that I didnt try it but I will try it with my 7wks birds when they are 12-14 wks.

I weighed some today the weights range is 0.8-1.11kg. They are about 20 in number n 17wks 3 days today.

AkayTopsy:
@Jamp welcome back, I believe ur mum must be very proud of u within her, seeing u helpin d oldman. .

As per d birds nice job on farm. Nice to know u have several batches. I need to come around urside with my lecture note again for some schooling.

@obnelly how r ur birds now? hope u've started treatment and they r responding? pls share with d house d medication they r taking for future reference.

Bro I want to visit ur farm dis period but dis fuel scarcity in abj is too much. Pls give me a day to come from now to thursday.

Eggcelent:
jamp. The weights of your birds is testimony that your staff have done a great job during your absence. Welcome Bro. endy247. Are your birds on deep litter? If yes, kindly take note of what davidzfarm18 suggested in addition to that of FarmTech. You may also wish to spray ashes in sufficient quantity on the litter. Success.

Thanks brother. I appreciate. I want to allow the birds to get to 20weeks before adding light. I hope they will lay early.

I ve another set. They are 7wks. I weighed them too.

0.5kg 0.3kg 0.5kg 0.5kg 0.4kg 0.5kg 0.4kg 0.4kg

I have 17wks birds. I checked their weight today.
They weigh 1.4kg 1.3kg 1.5kg 1.3kg 1.2kg 1.4kg 1.1kg 1.3kg

The birds are ok. They are 88wks and d production is 68%
