mbuotidemjames:
Thankyou sire.
Do you know about wheat yeast(feeds for pigs)?. Someone advised me to be mixing in the top feeds for them for optimal weight? Im scared.....wont it affect them?

mbuotidemjames:
The name of the birds is AGRITED.....thats what I used in the first batch and I started selling them by 5 weeks.
For the feeds....im using TOP FEEDS.
Is there any suggestion of boosters to use to make them grow fast and heavy because they are so light and they resemble our native birds which can eat very well but not growing fast....please help

mbuotidemjames:
Please farmers....i need a very serious help....

My broilers are 4weeks and 2 days today....but they are still looking like 2weeks broilers and some have grown enof hairs all over their body but they are very very smal. The first batch I did,i started selling dem at 5 weeks but this ones are not inviting at all.....i was battling wit coccidiosis for 6 days last week with different drugs until it stopped when I used kepcox and attack.

I started giving dem biovite plus but wen dey poop,its comes with small blood and I was told to withdraw d drugs. My problem now is that I want to knw why dey r not growing fast and i need help on the type of BOOSTERS and ViTAMINS to give dem so that I can sell dem off by xmas period. Please reply. Thank u.

Thank you sir for the response.Yes you are absolutely right. But farms in Abuja want cash. Since Im getting on credit more or less from Kaduna. I want to take advantage of that opportunity.
I actually have two hotels I supply to but size they require are 1.5-1.6kg dressed weight so I just supply them the likes of Zartech, Big sam etc

Although one restaurant wants 150 dressed birds of 1-1.3 kg so I will be giving them from that also.I just thot with the mallams i can sell faaster even if margin not much as long im able to sell off large volumes. Sometimes most of the restaurants and hotels never pay on time.
I recently just got a shop in Dutse and want to be selling only dressed farm fresh well packaged (shrink bags)with all the giblets included size 1-1.2kg perhaps if the mallam are not speaking good money I'll kill/dress them all and put in my cold room hopefully I will be able to sell all before year runs out. Any tip on strategic marketing will be appreciated . Thank you for your time.
Yes getting your own shop and packaging them will go a long way in boosting your revenue so far you can always power your cold room. About the Abuja farmers wanting cash, well i dont blame them cos most of those mallams do owe a lot and never pay on time. So it all depends on the kind of trust you create between you and the farmer as well as your terms of payment cos atleast a lot of farmers do supply to hotels and all and they don't pay immediately. Anyway its a lucrative business so far you can do the running around and package them and most importantly, by limiting your dealings with the mallams. Thank you

Negotiating with a farmer in Kaduna to get live chicken transported from his farm to Abuja transportation is at 19000 for 400 birds. He has a total of 2800 birds .We both agree that we will split the cost. So that's like 24 naira per bird on my part. I also have a place in Madalla close to the market where the birds will stay on arrival so the mallams can come check it out.

My plan is to resell wholesale to mallams around me.Already have 4 mallams willing to buy but they insist they have to see it before they talk price
The farmer has asked me to say how much i propose to buy from him . I know a six week old broilers (shooters)will be like 1.8 -2.0 kg live weight.
How much will you recommend I buy these 6weeks old from the farmer? He also says he has normal ones like 1.3-1.4 live weight. Do u think getting from Kaduna makes sense? The advantage is that he is willing to let me pay him in bits. Any advice please?

be very fragile.... Plus do I get this feeding
schedule for layers correctly...... Day 1 till 20th

mash?? They are yet to start laying though. Thanks

tuk2ato:
Thank you for your response, i am considering 7 weeks. Are you saying i dont need to feed them growers? Which combination gives optimum weight starter, grower and finisher or starter and finisher or starter and finisher?

tuk2ato:
Please Sir, at what stage of life should the starter, grower and finisher be introduced to broiler birds and how much does Amo sell the 3 different classes of feeds above? The op didnt talk about finisher feeds, is it that finisher feeds isnt really important? Thank you.
