Hello Nairalanders I just had my first experience in broiler farming with a friend. It was far from rosey but I have learnt what I need to. Had about 10% mortality from 204 birds. We’re currently dealing with the frozen chicken market. It’s been crazy. I’m currently brooding a set for Christmas. I bought a carton of ZARTECH broilers along with hitchner and cocci antivirus. It cost N103,600. The chicks are 3 days old, started off with ultimate starter. I’ve bought 440kg of ingredients. Whats left is mixing. I’m not sure of the quantity required for each stage of growth. Will probably have to mix some more. I’ll add another carton soon and see how it goes. Maybe half ZARTECH and half Vertex. |

I would advise you stick with the broiler for slaughter programme, identify why you have such high mortality and fix it, then raise your production |

RealLordZeus:Thanks for the advice. Already identified and rectified it though. Raising birds for December is the only reason I’m keeping them longer than 6-7 weeks. |
