PRESS IGNORE

My people let us start the learning process. Please note that I cannot do this alone. I need everybody’s input. I am just a starter and I believe we will learn a lot if all contribute else thread will dieeee.

NO TOO MUCH ENGLISH OOO, JUST EXPLAIN THE WAY EVERYBODY WILL UNDERSTAND

Lets start with BROODING which is one of the most difficult aspect of poultry.


to me brooding involves taking care of DOC from day 1 to 30 days or day 1 to 60 days. the first thing you should consider before starting brooding is where to get your DOC. this is very important. there are many quack farms in Nigeria.

the following are required for brooding
1. heat which can be generated from stove,charcoal,NEPA,lantern
2. feeders
3. water trough
4. wood shaving
5. newspaper

the dificult part in brooding is generation of heat. DOC need heat (temp above 35C). i had serious challenge providing heat for my birds. I bouhgt one bag of charcoal everyday and 10 litres of kerosine to ensure enogh heat. the truth is even when u tink the heat is high the chick might not feel it cos there body temp is different from ours.................

samshoz: Hi everyone, what can i give to my D.o.c (white cockerels) that are not very active as others? Am currently givin dem anti biotics n multivitamin, despite providin heat, some are just sleepy or less active, any suggestn?

obnelly: Did you follow a particular breeding program?how old are the chicks ? Is the temperature too high or too low?if your chicks arrive after 3-5 days all must have adapted to their new environment.I give you some pass mark to have observed some were just sleeping?if the temperature isn't to ok they may be sleeping and if they are too stressed up the chicks will also sleep.
Are they panting?

@samshoz, please read and revert to the huz

samshoz: Hi everyone, what can i give to my D.o.c (white cockerels) that are not very active as others? Am currently givin dem anti biotics n multivitamin, despite providin heat, some are just sleepy or less active, any suggestn?

Don't panic. DOC behave like that sometimes. Most of them will be sleeping while some will be active. Try give them glucose to boost their energy level after a long journey. Keep giving them the multivitamine and antibiotic

Goodluck

konfessor: ok, lets see the content of the message you received, copy it in here and lets have a look. that is if you are still interested in convicing us.

n0m0705: Is it not too early to start broilers targeted for xmas now? Personally I usually start around 14- 15 wks to xmas and they will be as big as you can imagine (just like breeders).you tend to have lower profit margin when you start too early

bros, is 14-15 weeks not too much? i tot 8-10 weeks is ok. please can u give reasons for ur statement pls

[quote author=Marco-P ]Fellow farmers in the house. Thank you for keeping this thread alive. I have been busy with a few things.
The good news is that my birds have not disappointed. They have started delivering the golden eggs.
I owe a lot of appreciation to this thread for all the advise and knowledge shared. It went a long way to see me through this project.
My birds are in their 25th week now. I hope to share more details later. Mortality is only about 2%. Is God not wonderful?[/quote]My broda, God is wonderful, congratulation. But you ve been scarce, pls be more active so u can help others.weldone bro

[quote author=Solutions_Guy]Lol! Irrespective of whether true or false. Apparently this chukdc has put a lot of guys in his one-chance, and have been riding them around town. Very soon he will come and tell guys that they should send him money so that he inputs their names in successful list (and guys go still pay am kwa).
Talking about it or keeping hopes alive will not change the resumption date anyway. Whatever date that will be for whichever people that will eventually be successful.

Sorry o! If you are one of those that see my plain truth as offensive.[/quote]For once u spoke wisely

bros, weldone ooo

you are realy trying and i know u will make it
