abbeybanks: how many "light hours" per day is recommended for broilers? advice plz

Gidigidi3: The vitalite and admacine you gave them was it in combination with vaccine or not? Are they available in our pharmacies? What is the observed growth rate due to your solution? Will like to know more because mine will arrive soon.

fnk: My day olds came in yesterday, give then v-mix and mixed it in their water, that is all they are getting for medication. and we will see how they turn out in 7 weeks. We got 500 birds If everything works out, they will be between 2.5kg and 3 kg by the 7th week. I will post pix as internet allows.

obnelly: Profit should be the second thing ,first is your interest ,do you like eggs or meat.Both are profitable but you must do your marketing right.Livestock isnt a paper thing its purely practical.

Idango: My brother, a lot of farmers beleive that broilers are more profitable if you can get buyers for your birds, it is easier to sell your eggs because buyers look for you, but for the broilers , you need to go and look for them. But once you get your sales outlet, i personally beleive that it is through broilers that you can make real money from poultry.

Idango: The pots cost about N700 each. You will need to buy charcoals, a bag is about N1200 around IFO area of ogun state. You fill the pot with charcoal and and light the charcaol, you empty the ash and replace with new charcoala after 4-5 hours. The lenght of time the charcoal can last before completely burning off depend on the type of wood the 'coal was derived from. So far there are working perfectly. After the second week the pot will no long be required untill another set.

fnk: Guys, show us pictures, it makes it more exciting to everyone of us following on this tread. My birds will be coming in tomorrow, I am going to Obasanjo Farm myself to pick them up. It will be fun to see the progress

Idango: My birds arrived on the 16th of this month 600 broilers and 600 pullets. they are one week and one day now.

Bestofralph: it depends on your location and the quantity you are purchasing. Here in sapele i buy @ 2500 per bag but in nsukka i buy uac vitafeed @ 2300

Bestofralph: Broilers are naturally fast growing breed of birds. Feeding them growers which have a higher protein ratio will only make them overweight & in some cases making them unable to move around and this is not good for the birds.

Bestofralph: it depends on how long you intend to raise the birds. Ideally, you feed them starter for about half the time you wish to raise them and finisher for the remaining half. E.g If you want to sell the birds at 10wks, feed them starter for 5wks and finisher for the remaining 5wks. #don't feed broilers with grower mash

bellong: I want to be remembered that I served God and my generation..................... The words of it to echo through time as long as the earth remains..

made2fit: Thanks. I ask because of this mentally challenged teenage boy in my neighborhood. He sits in front of his house all day and speaks gibberish. He was born dat way and sometimes I look at him and just wonder about his salvation.

voltron: No wonder my wife always complains about mosquito bites and i have none at all, better stop donating my blood to LUTH and start loading it in Spray cans.. let me talk to CONOIL for bizness

Knaruto: broda's in the house. Please send me good and trusted brokers to timothyonwuzulike@yahoo.com

Mr Obalende: I need some advice on what kind of profitable business one can start in Nigeria with 500,000 Naira
I want to help my brother stand on his feet after graduation.
Thank you

Originalsly: When it comes to business I think less about passion and emotions and more about profit and loss. Between a car wash and photo studio I would advise you choose car wash. The days for photo studio are numbered...it's a business of the past. Most people have no need to go to photo studio...when last did you take a photo?...when last did you go to a studio? Why? Your answer would be the same for most people.

Phranciz: I would like to know which business would be preferrable to start. As I have no idea about the two of them, especially setting up a photo studio and graphic design.
