@bintudon,

i dont think i understood u...

@Aak1 ......about four years ago i lost 800 pullets to mareks when dey were 18weeks old...they just started laying at dat age. at first i never belived it could be mareks because d vaccine was given but after series of pm and a lab result from animal care confirms it was mareks...it was a bad experince. honestly d vaccince was given to them at the hacthery but it failed... so an expert from animal care advised me to always repeat d vaccine when dey are 20 days old. he told me if i repeat it at day 4 or day 5 like most vet always advised...that there might be a problem because at day 5 the marek vaccine inside d birds is still very fresh , so repeating it at that stage might just rendered the both vaccinces impotent...but waiting for another 2 weeks before repeating will just do d job....... so after that huge loss...i ve been doing it just like dat and belive me....no mareks problem since then.


@judithume.......please i use God beg u......try ur best and give them mareks vaccine.

@fishleg123, layers mash has higher energy and in some cases it has higher protein too....your birds at this stage needs more protein dat will enable them form eggs and extra energy that will strengthen dem while laying this eggs....if u continue with grower it will wear dem out and before u know it ....they will be stressed up and it can led to anytin.....hope u know what dat means.
AgricultureRe: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by kelvin96: 4:48pm On Mar 15, 2015
@fishleg123 .....if not for the fact dat it has gone far from 5% i would ve advised u use 75% of grower to 25% of layers mash....then 50%-50% grower/layermash ,then d next day u will use 75% of layer mash to 25% of growermash and then layermash fully....but the way it is now if i were u.....i will just use 50% -50% 2moro den full layers mash d next day. ......Goodluck

scarce in benin.....were is ur location?
AgricultureRe: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by kelvin96: 2:32pm On Mar 14, 2015
@tunezvic i dont understand why u are so pissed about dis formula....we are all here to share ideas and to help ourselves... nobody is perfect ....we are all learning....so d issue of someone scoping ur formula is uncalled for....it should'nt ve come up. someone like kengeorge is a guru in terms of feed formulation . so for u saying wat u said about him in regards d formula was harsh. meanwhile i got ur mail and i just replied u .. pls endeavour to always add toxin binders to ur feed formulation if u r still using this formula......goodluck

@justified19 if it were to be in my farm and if after confirmation by a vet that it is really ND , then i use neoceryl and gumboccine for them for five days and if the last lasota i gave has climed up to 3wks den 2 days after that treatment with neoceryl and gumboccine....i will repeat the lasota. but wait for the vet's report and lets c d treatment he will advised.
pls endeavour to get back to house with the report.

Humm. I just went through z
102 pages and almost got myself confused but I must confess, I learnt a lot. Of course I still have loads of questions to ask. My major issue is still with building.i plan on starting with 1000 layers and 500 broilers on a land of 100 by 100. Kevin96 said 60ft by 30 should do for layers. I want to know what size of pen would do for 500 broilers. I will also have a store and farm house. Will 100 by 100 be enough?
60ft by 25ft can take 500 adult broilers.....so i guess ur 100 by 100 might not be enough....because after u first pen has been built u will ve to give atleast 40 to 50ft before the next pen can come in. All d same goodluck.
