Please, what can be used for adult turkey birds that have chronic coryza?
Oopse!!! I missed this too.
With few cases of infectious Corsa I have experienced, I treat organically with use of ginger, lime water and garlic etc. It works wonders.

Pimples:
Please do you inject the chickens with the vaccine because you posted some pictures with syringes and on what part of their body?
Sorry for the misconceptions... the syringe is used for measurements in most cases, and it is to be used with clean water to be given to the chicks. (Simply for precise measurement to avoid waste or under medication)

1st Lasota was administered. The water drinks were withdrawn during the early hours of the morning to enable the little chicks increase their water when introduced with the vaccine.

Note: 500 dose was given.

Day 13 Zero Mortality (405 chicks)

Same as yesterday, only water was given to the birds.


Note: The chicks would have to be separated soonest. The new space isn't big enough for them any longer. I will definitely have to split them into 202/203 after tomorrow's Vaccination (1st Lasota)

Day 11 Zero Mortality

Happy Sunday to all.
Continuation of the anticocci treatment is still on. In my case, I am using Diclazor. 1ml to 4litrs of water and a little addition of multivitamins.

The Birds are doing excellently fine.

AgricultureRe: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by jidestroud(op): 3:53pm On Jan 13, 2024
. . . Aye!!! A preferred alternative would also be Embazin forte. I so much love that anticocci drug ehn (sorry for the PR).
An appropriate dosage such be used along side with multivitamins to help the chicks since they are still very young.
AgricultureRe: 400 Layer Birds Start-up Episode by jidestroud(op): 10:56am On Jan 13, 2024
Day 10 Zero Mortality (405 chicks)

I will be treating them against cocci. The anticocci used is a liquid based one. This would be continued on Day 11 too.

By the way there is no meat here as all I see are intestines and bowels.
Ofcos there are more than enough meats in the open market, swamp turtles, sea turtles, tortoises etc inclusive grin.

Step 4
Remove the scales, intestines and bile. Rinse and there you have your meat to ready to be used to Prepare your soup or meat.

ADDITIONAL INFO: The turtle has 4 major parts after dissecting it.

FoodRe: How To Kill And Prepare Swamp Turtle by jidestroud(op): 1:47pm On Jan 11, 2024
Step 3
Use the cutlass to crack the edges.
Put a pot of water on fire, place the cut off head of turtles in it and boil for about 20mins. This makes pulling the meat from the shell easy.

FoodRe: How To Kill And Prepare Swamp Turtle by jidestroud(op): 1:38pm On Jan 11, 2024
Step 2
After washing, turn it upside down, get a sharp knife or cutlass (a cutting tool of your choice) and a plier or something to hold onto its head to easy cutting.
Once you pin the head down, simple cut it off and allow the blood to drain.

NOTE: You may need an hot object to place on the flat plate. This forces the Turtle to bring out its head.

FoodRe: How To Kill And Prepare Swamp Turtle by jidestroud(op): 1:31pm On Jan 11, 2024
Step 1
Wash the Turtle very well to remove dirt from the body.

Please Note: Be careful not to put your finger in the opening around the head so it doesn't snap on your finger. It could be very painful.

This happens to be my special way of preparing Turtles. Walahi, turtle meat sweet die... grin

Fortunately, 5 swamp turtles would be used to Prepare;
1. Egusi soup (melon soup)
2. Peppersoup
3. Fried stew

I administered the Superliv today. 1ml of Superliv to 4litres of clean water & that's all.

... other activities for the day includes; cleaning up their brooder room to reduce the amount of poop which could lead to ammonia gas build-up.
Moreover, I should be visiting Alaba International Market to see if i can get a digital scale to help monitor growth.
