URGENT HELP PLEASE!!!
Good day experienced farmers in the house. please help me out of this problem. my layers started laying by December and by January they reached around 79 - 85%. Early February I discovered their production reduced to 60% which made me to suspect they are breaking their eggs and I redebeaked them immediately, two days later I suspected Newcastle in them (shellless egg) which I treated with Virucida and intergendox. during the same week I moved them to battery cage and the Topfeed I was using finished, I went for Amoo feed because Top feed is not available. Since then till now the production stand at 50% and the egg size became so small. the worst is that my customers are complain that the eggs are bad since that period. Truly, the eggs look watery when break and when cook, half of it is water. Please what have I done wrong. can it be the change in feed or the stress too much for them.

please visit www.myagricworld.com for more information

STARTING A FARM BUSINESS
Hello Friends, today I will be talking about the consideration to starting a farm business.
If you are beginner or experience farmer, you want to think about the things you do before you show up.
I will quickly talk briefly on these highlighted points. (Starting Point, Plan, Self Inventory, Resource Inventory, Market)
Starting Point:- everyone start from the starting point, where you are is your starting point, then you work to where you want to get to.
Purpose: - you must have a purpose. Purpose as how?, What do you want to accomplish with the business?, is it for par time work?, is it to generate income for your family? or full time work where you will be able to make a living from it. So you must know the real purpose behind it.
Plan: - in order to achieve your purpose, you need to have a plan. Plan need to be written down. You can make a lot of mistakes. The best way to make mistakes is on paper not with cash from your pocket or someone else investment.
Self-Inventory:- this is where you need to think about what do I know how to do?, what do I like to do, what are my interest, what skills do I have. It may not be only thinking about yourself alone; also, think about the skills of the people that will be working with you, because farming is more than just a persons’ job.
Resource inventory: - you also need to think about the resources that you have. What land do I have?, what water, what animals, what am I starting with?, from that point you will be able to develop a good plan.
Market: - the most important part of the whole thing is the market, because you really need to identify the market before you do any kinds of investment. In fact, marketing is the key to success. You most know your customers, identify the people, are your customers your friends, families, neighbours, market woman, supermarkets etc. you must identify all the people that will buy your product.
Finally, in developing farm business, you must know where you are going, and know how you are going to get there. Thanks
for any question, please visit www.myagricworld.com am there to answer it.. also i will be there to help you write a feasibility study for any intend business

samuel25. Accept my expression of concern about the state of things with your biz. First, I don't think the feeds is the problem as I consider Amo Bygn feeds as good as Top Feeds, though change in the feeds given could lead to TEMPORARY reduction in production. However, it should not have lasted this long. Secondly, a level of reduction at this time of the year is expected due to the heat stress occasioned by the adverse weather. However, it doesn't account for this significant drop. I'll rule out pecking; because you never said you saw broken shells.
Having said all those, it is obvious your birds have some health issues. You can help your readers here in making better/more accurate diagnosis by reviewing the birds' vaccination schedule. However, in the interim, I'll like to submit that oral Lasota and injectable Komorov are the best treatment for NCD. Awaiting a review of your vaccination schedule. Success.

Randomly select about 25 birds, draw blood samples from them and as a matter of urgency send to either zygozis @ Ibadan or Animal care @ Ogere or Asaba for serological analysis. This will help you state with certainty what their problems are. There is no time for guess work. There is a problem and you need to get to the root. A stitch in time saves ten. My sincere opinion.

Thanks so much appreciated

we need to get this video out so that people will know what they are eating when they buy imported frozen chicken.

See this link: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1543337615944778

We need people to patronize our local and much more healthier production.

You don't stress birds like that. Debeaking and moving to battery cage shud be done b4 laying start. The feed u changed to might be low quality and don't change feed suddenly, it shud happen over a period of 2 weeks.

please my people,like how much will I spend to buy and raise doc broiler to 7weeks.thanks and God bless

@samuel25 find away to address d stress/shock and give them there top feed i think they should b ok. unless there is another underlining factor, try dis first.

Thank you all with ur contributions, we keep learning new thing everyday. It is the stress I subjected them too that caused the problem couple with heat stress and feed changed. with a rain few days back and adaptation to the feed, they are back with 68- 73% and bigger eggs, only that I have lost customers.

It is called egg peritonitis, compare it with this pictures to see if they're the same: http://www.google.com/search?q=egg+peritonitis&client=ms-opera-mini&channel=new&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch. Two of my birds have suffered from it.

Hi House,

This thread has always been up to date.. So let me share my story as well. After reading from thread 1 to 85. I was fully charged. I got acres of land. Clear like 2acres and build pen house...

Then stock 3200 layers and 150broilers.. The first Night I lost like 70, due to the birds clustering together to generate heat because the heat was not enough... (Don't reply on bulb...I used 20 200W bulb) So i changed to charcoal and the mortality was reduced. Now the birds are going to 5weeks and they are all doing find in all i didnt loose upto 100.


Note this is a summarise write up. I just need to share too. I am not relying on what i have read... I employed an experienced farm manager, and attendants. All vaccination went well, gomboro, lasota, etc...

So guyz see pics below. I have left the farm like 3weeks now and by Saturday i will visit again...

afosoft. This is a massive one. Thumbs up.

hello nairalander, I am new here but i've being following ur thread for abt 2 years, and I am into poultry business, hp to learn alot from you

What are the disadvantages of using 200watts bulb over charcoal in brooding pen.
I tried it few months back and I discovered some of my chickens are blind.
Heat is not evenly distributed
Burn excess fuel to power generator
Replacement of burn out bulb due to fluctuation in electric generator.
Let's discuss this in the meantime I will be experimenting on using poultry farm waste as alternative to generating heat for brooding in piggery and chicks brooding house.

my birds av started laying, I discovered two of d laying birds re weak(,cant walk well and finding it difficult to make sound) gasping and breathing from d anus,I av isolated dem frm d rest. pls wat cld b wrong and wat shld I use for dem. pls I need urget response from experts
