Hello farmers in the house. Is it advisable to use chick mash for DOC layers considering the fact that starter is 4k plus now and mash is 3800 or there about

Yes for Doc layers/pullets use chick mash to start for them

Redomi:
I want to ferment their feed and feed them once or twice in a day, and provide enough water to burn the fat.

Pls provide enough water but I don't really think fat is the cause if this deaths
Dehydration and weather are more of a likely cause

Redomi:
What I found inside

Is this not flesh and blood clot well try and keep the place cool the weather now is brutal

Redomi:
Seriously I'm sad this morning, birds that don't die during brooding are now dying at maturity. I have lost 10 birds between their 5th to 7th week. I lost another one this morning.
Each time I open the stomach, I found too much of fat inside, is it the fat that is killing them?
I noticed all of them are too lazy to walk or even stand to eat or drink. Is that how Agrited birds do?
All my stress and money gone, others are still there lying down, gave them Antibiotics from Friday till Sunday and gave them Lasota yesterday. I have given all drugs I know, no changes.
I have to try another strain of birds, maybe Obasanjo, I have 41 birds left out of 51.
My profit is gone, despite I bought them high at DOC, even bigh cost of feed, etc.
They are on free range from more till night everyday before I put them back into their cage every night.
Better someone brood Kuroiler or noiler in July for Christmas than buying Broilers incOctober for Christmas, these Broilers are Amaka, they can Disappoint even Satan.

The weather is not easy this days cut palm leaves and put on top ur pen or use carton and make sure their is always water to avoids dehydration

Blisswonder:
The Bio-vit is antibiotics with multivitamins

No anticocci though

I will advice u get a program and see what u have missed
Even though Bio vit is good it also better to get a strong antibiotics at Doc but all the best

Blisswonder:
They are moving around
Bio-vit administered from day 2 to day 7
Gomboro today

No antibiotics from day one, no anticocci

Blisswonder:

Hello house
How good is Amo Starter for Broiler DOC

Its good just make sure when buying any feed always check expiry date

noeloge82:

Pls anyone with any useful information on his where about should pls contact +234 806 487 3388 or the nearest police station

He is still missing , pls any useful information is highly appreciated

Redomi:
There is no cheat sir.
1. You have to love whatever you are doing and do it with love......?sometimes my neighbour thinks I'm mad whenever I'm talking to my birds like human.
2. Never manage, buy good feed, good drugs, good multivitamin, provide enough ventilation during the day, never buy birds from source you dont trust because I have seen farmers that were given fake and painted agrited doc.
Listen to advice and not all advice, take your time to observe and think.
3. Treat your birds immediately you notice any changes in poo colour and behaviour, never mixed birds of different specie together.
4. Teach your birds how to eat vegetable especially water leaves, I swear if there is no feed in the next one year, all my birds will survive, there are varieties of options I have taught them from day old. They prefer vegetable more than feed.
5. Most importantly, dont take birds you cannot care for or birds you dont have space to keep.
Buying birds is not a problem, but feeding them can force a farmer to sell them cheaper against his wish. If you budget 150k for poultry, abeg take just one carton of broiler(50). Feeding, vaccine and drugs no be small thing o.


I face challenges too and I loose birds too

If only old and intending farmers can understand this , then most poultry problem would have been solved

Redomi:
The problem is not always from us farmer but from our source.
Some distributors will sell cheap doc and we rush, not knowing the result will be bad.
I have a guy here, the day I wanted to buy Foreign turkey, we have agreed to buy from my source for #2500 each, suddenly he came and told me he met someone that want to sell same foreign turkey for him at #1900.
I told him to go ahead and buy from that person, I bought mine #2500 five weeks ago, he bought his own #1900.
He is seeing the result now, they sold crossbreed turkey for him, he is bnow begging me to help him order

Keep it up , the 5 weeks result u posted is a wonderful result

Redomi:
Oga Jidestroud, here are the foreign turkey at 5weeks old. They are too aggressive, I have to remove my laying Noilers from the cage I kept all of them, they almost killed one of the Noilers yesterday. Same with the Agrited broilers I bought with them same time, they are born fighters. I have separated them and I kept them with my 5 month old local turkeys.


Bought from Noeloge82 on October 6th

1.8kg

Dominant male

Redomi:
5 weeks, can I say they are on free range too? Since they werecthreecweeks old, I release them every morning from their cage, and take them back to the cage every evening.
I dont know how to calculate average weight, I dont know mathematics.
Some are 2.7kg, while the least among them is 2.2kg

Good results Christmas is sure

jidestroud:
It's virtually everywhere. Let's not even go to the skyrocketing prices.

Yes skyrocketing prices but my friends In the east are seriously complaining of not seeing feed to buy some said the ones they saw have moulds and giving their birds CRD although I believe it normalise in coming weeks I think the no movement during the protest caused the situation

Munzy14:
They look good, how the feed scarcity for your area?
.The thing is seriously frustrating.

Its mainly in the East that there is feed scarcity

jidestroud:
Make I showcase my free range broilers. It's been a beautiful experience.
(Arbor acre plus)


Note: I wouldn't advice any to try it though.

Free range with this result , keep it

Chevrolet076:
thank you sir, I'll do that..... I'll vaccinate the rest too

Ok , all the best

Redomi:
Thank you boss, I wont any drugs again.
I know where the problem comes from. I will get Amo feed on Monday and give you feedback on Wednesday

Ok no problem

joschars:
Pls house, how much are they selling live chicken per kg to the coldroom customer or those people that do process it especially in ibadan oyo state.
Somebody say 700/kg and i think it is too small compare to price of things now. Am also broiler rearer, pls help oooo

No fixed price some sell 700 some sell 1000 it's not a fixed price but a bargain price based your production cost and remember dressed price is higher than life price
Cos in dressed all the intestine that will add to body weight have been removed

Redomi:
Yes boss. I just finished the sachet this morning.
I want to give them bitter leave and scent leaves juice in the afternoon and continue with Cocciffor in the evening

Ok but if u have not given them lasota in the last 2 weeks I will suggest you repeat the lasota after that give them antibiotics and CTC for 3 days
CTC is also a coryza drug but acts better when supported with antibiotics

Chevrolet076:
Morning boss..

my birds are 9 weeks. and I stopped following the medication plan after 38 days. I just treat as required. I've not given fowl pox vaccination before only lasota and gumboro

You actually missed fowl pox vaccine although many farmers ignore it in broiler but use preventive drugs regularly but if u used d vaccine their would be no need for the drugs .
But I will suggest u isolate the affected bird then buy poxcare from your vet and treat all of your birds for 5 days.
Good luck

Redomi:
Big one is 2 months, my first order from Noeloge82, I sold them at 3weeks, left five for myself. I have killed the rest to my pot of soup.
The small one is my last order from Noeloge82 too, 5weeks old.
They are down with Coryza for over two weeks, their feed intake has really decreased, that is why they are not more than this weight.

At 5 weeks with this size is not bad at all , hope your using Cory sp

dennisworld1:
Pls some of my birds poops are watery green poops. Some coughing and breathing heavily.What drugs should I use.....

How old are they and what have u given them so far

DahOriginal:
Thanks alot. I think they are now okay but d medication according to the vet I bought it for should be a 7days dosage but I just finished today in less than 4days can I still buy another to continue or I should observe them a little first

Observe them before buying more if they are OK now

jidestroud:
Walahi, you are absolutely correct. It happened so fast that it never crossed my mind that it won't make it. Only sign I noticed this morning was that it didn't run after my when I went to feed it. And when it did come close, it only pecked at the food twice and walked away.

We learn everyday although painful but a lesson

jidestroud:
Thanks boss.

Sorry about the loss but remember foreign turkey and broilers are purely designed for meet and fast growth so once they start getting old u have to be watchful for any sudden weakness on their part .
Sometimes u will even need to place then on monthly routine lasota to avoids air borne infections while keeping an eye on their wellbeing
I trust u will replace it will many to come soon

Ayodejibtyrbe:
This was this morning before cleaning up there space

Truth be told this ur place needs urgent clean up if not cocci will live here freely look at the colours of the broilers I will advice u to pls put wood shaving on the floor it will help u
Good luck
