@Jamp, do you mean with top feed concentrate there is no need for wheat offal in your fomula?

Eggcelent:
jamp. The question I was about asking was what segun1976 asked. How do the the birds get their protein needs met with this formula? M/w, at #64/kg of maize, this formula gives a bag at #2200. That is still much ok.

Eggcelent:
segun1976. You are right. At the given price, cost per kg of layers feed is #85.96. Selling off of spent sometimes impact the prices of eggs but, not significantly. Most farmers now almost always have replacement stock before selling off the old layers. jamp, how much is Top layers concentrate & what is the mixing ratio, pls?

Eggcelent:
segun1976. Akure - #3490. Owo - #3560.

We weigh them individually, and we weigh a whole bunch, and you can see from the ones you weighed that most of the other birds looks like the same size.
of course, some are about 900g some 800g and some 1.1kg etc.

In the past, at 4 weeks, most of them weighs 700g, some 600g

jamp...how and what did you do to keep your 2years old birds producing at 70%.pls share

jamp:
sorry for the loss. If the lab result did not reveal anything then I suggest you check the ni.pples. sometimes birds die due to lack of water caused by faulty ni.pples. tell your staff to check the ni.pples at least once in 2days. I once had such issues so I told my staff to always note the cages so I investigate the cause of death.

you can also check for bulling as most birds do not allow some birds to eat in the cages.

check also the beak as suggested by eggcelent.

Started experiencing daily mortality with our laying birds since last week, lost about 52birds. Carried out lab test including sensitivity analyis. These test showed that all is well.
Our consultant & mentor said its normal to experience some mortlities as the flock come into lay.
Some farmers around suggests its due to excess fat (trying to get a scale to verify that). This batch was bought @ POL and now @ 27wks. Production was slow but recently being improving and now @ 55%.
I'm getting worried and needs to seek urgent help!
It's our first time and we are absentee farmer o!

Eggcelent:
omotititi. Have you ever gotten brown DOC pullets from Zartech Benin? If yes, what has been the experience in terms of liveability & production? I called Zartech Ibadan which is my usual source, but they seem fully booked for the next several weeks so I'm thinking of doing biz with Benin. Thanks. jamp. How far with the birds you were planning to buy? I believe they should be with you by now.

My brother, people will always be disturbing themselves with what is not disturbing them, My own be say even if it is a Buddhist that will help me with sustainable innovations that would improve the quality of life of my community what concerns me with his religious belief?

Luke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 [b][/b]But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

We can see in the scripture above that Christ didnt give support to the slightest worship of his mother yet people wont hear.

Pavore9:
The truth is Catholics will continue to say this prayer while Protestants will continue to protest against it till the second coming of Christ! As long as the Catholic Faith does not pose a security risk to non-Catholics just as Boko Haram ISIS, Al-Shaabab are, everyone should keep their peace and mind their paths and leave deciding who is truly serving God to God ALONE!

segun1976:
Congrats o! We thank God on your behalf. Hope demand& price for pullet eggs are good at your location

omotititi:
Hello House.....my new batch of birds dropped their first egg today at age 20weeks. Help me thank God cos I need the golden eggs badly.Am grateful to God alone.

segun1976:
@Afosoft, so happy for you. I guess your birds are not doing badly.
Our birds are 26wks tomorrow and doing 35%. Its our first time and we got them as 16wks POL. The batch is 3,264 but we have 3,240 left.
We refused to be discouraged and believe everything would be okay.

Thoenlyson your birds are looking OK for a 3 week old broiler. You can add soya n enzymes to the feed u are giving them Incase u are not OK with what u are seeing. Jump,eggcellent, Kelvin, David n all the gurus in the house. My birds eyes are still foamy n getting worse. Done all that my vet ask me to do. I think he is out of ideas too. Is there any home remedies or eye drop I can get for them. I'm really confused on what to do next.

Theonlyson:
i gave top feed starter 4 two weeks nd start mixing starter concentrate with maize. For d first week i gave dem gamboro, 2nd week lasota nd 3rd week gamboro. But i notice under der neck don swallow. Tnx

Theonlyson:
helo house, pls help, my boilers are not growing, they are 3 weeks now

Judithume:
My poultry farmers, I finally saw an egg @exactlly 20weeks. My major Concern now is that about 6 of my birds are still having problems with their eyes. It's foamy in one eye only in all 6 of them. I ve used kenflox, I used enroflxacin n I'm using c the c now. The vet is saying that it's Infectious Corozal but the medication has refused to heal 6 of my birds. See pictures below

AkayTopsy:
Use Toltravet

Eggcelent:
Annabechick. Massive one. Congrats. From here, the width of the pen seems below minimum standard. What is the width here, pls? jamp, sir. How far with your cost-cutting measures vis-à-vis self milling? Have you considered buying grounded maize/wheat offal & do floor mixing with concentrates?

Eggcelent:
Thanks jamp. You are wonderful. How are the birds which came into lay recently?

danyegbule:
I have given them gumboro three times, week 1, week 3 and week 5 and lasota twice in week 2 and 6. Thanks so very much @jamp
