Broilers as at today 19 September 2022 is on the all time highest price ever 700-740 per bird with prospect of moving higher , this is not the best time for poultry farmers even feed price is very high and if you take a look at 2015 all time broiler highest prices then it was around #150 per bird the question now is buying broilers at this 700-740 , buying feed at high cost what will be selling price during the Christmas sales , hmmmm
Can people buy broilers for 12-15k per bird?

This is outrageous really.

Anyone who has 3 wks broilers for sale around Sango otta.
Like 25 pcs and how much?

House, what should be the average target weight for Christmas birds?

noeloge82:

Tapoline for roofing is because of cost I guess it ok for now but it may not last for more than 8months cos of direct sun ,so u can use it for now and try and wash d walls of d rooms in ur pics

.
Old post, but..
.
If you want the tarpaulin roof to last forever, protect it from sunlight using something like palm fronds.

noeloge82:
This pic below is a 25 days old broiler and foreign turkey , I sourced for someone here from DOC she has not raised birds before but learnt everything from here , I say congratulations

.
Pls, tell him that mixing broiler and turkeys is a no-no. They can infect each other with deadly diseases without being affected by the disease.

Unfortunately the result can't be compared to using good and risk of CRD from maize chaff and PKC is still unpredictable

Can you pls explain more? How does maize chaff and pic cause CRD?

I think the most important thing is net profit made per bird. They might be making more profit considering feed prices.

Not possible. Broiler is garbage in garbage out! The only way to make profit is using good feed either commercial or formulated feed.

The chaff of maize if not properly dried is get way to CRD that's why many individual that mill their feed using maize that is not very dried keep wondering where their birds usually get CRD from

At December 2021 it was a struggle selling between 5-8k depending on the size

It would likely be aspergillosis or sour crop due to mouldy feed. Both have respiratory symptoms and are fungal diseases. So antibiotics won't be effective.

Aspergillosis is untreatable. It can only be prevented by avoiding mouldy feed, mouldy sawdust/litter and dirt/feces in feed and water. Sour crop can be treated as follows:
Treat with anti-fungal Nystatin for 5 days.

Add a probiotic supplement to feed.

Add copper sulphate to water.
