well it could be gumboro... who knows, but I heard of the vaccine for gumboro fails it wipes out the entire birds. they started dying right from the first week. I got a carton, I have 15left. I had to bring them out of the pen and let them free range. I was out of options and in doing that those 15 survived.

the plan
day one-antistress
2-5 - antibiotics
6-7 vitamins
8 - first lasota
9 - 10 -vitamins
11-first gumboro then bla bla till day 21 second gumboro
that's basically it
I skipped fowl pox vaccine when I thought they were all gonna die.

[color=#990000][/color]hello great farmer!!!! Greetings from the East. I have been following this thread and I really want to venture into this kinda business. How much do u think one can start up with? I have already a land with water supply and about 3m Naira on the go. How many pullets do u suggest I go with? For me I have in mind going with 3000 layers. What do u think? Is it a good idea?[b][/b]

N700

With 3m.
A standard house that will accomodate 3000 birds will cost u 1,5m by direct labour.
Cage locally fabricated 1,5m
So my opinion
start with 1500.
Build a house that will accomodate same for 1m and use the remaining for cage.

FarmTech:

..
Likely cocci or necrotic enterisis. Embazzin forte can do the job. Hw long have u been giving embazin..? U may also have to try more powerful sulfa drugs like agracox. Dicoxin..

nanaposh29:

Thank you for your reply. So to economise, how can 3m be of help to till maturity? Housing, Feeding, payments, vaccines etc.

Please I will need your candid advice.



1. is the breeding process of turkey and chicken the same?

the matter here is that i applied for a first hand practical coaching on poultry raring in a reputable university of agriculture, i told them that i want to have a first experience on fowl abi chicken raring, so i enrolled. but on my first day of training, i noticed that the dont have chicken in stock but rather turkey.

what they presently have in stock is turkey, so i want to ask is the breeding process of turkey the same with that of chicken? please i want to know because its chicken training i asked for and not turkey training. Please i need advice as urgent as possible thanks.

nanaposh29:
can u please update pictures of how the poultry should look like and the cages inside the pen? And please, what do u mean by 1600 DOC

FarmTech:

..
Do u really mean breeding process or rearing process? The rearing process can't be the same, but they'll have similarities.

Well it depend on each farmer practice and experience. Gumboro should come first before Lasota even before day 7. Test this and see what happen. The problem with your birds were due to gumboro infection

DOC= Day Old Chick...
1600 day old chicks...

How is d location of d land, is it fenced? security is key

pcoolioz:


from what I know you can use most of your chicken vaccines for turkeys but not vice versa totally, they are a bit alike but there are some differences.
