I have a reputable farm in Ibadan. They have about 3000 POL.
Where is your location?

24-26 hours. There's no fixed duration as there are slight variation due to individual birds and their metabolism.

90% is not a bad lay rate for your birds e.g. If you have 100 birds, expect 90 drops.

Hello house!

How much will it take me to raise 200 birds (how much will it take to raise one each to the point of laying)?

Starting from;


-chick mash (1-6 weeks)

-grower mash (7-16 weeks)

- layer mash (16 weeks upward) ?


Thanks for your anticipated answer.

you should be looking @1200-1300 per bird, with the current feeds price hike.

What about broiler?

IdisuleOurOwn:


Thanks.


What about broiler?

That depends on d anticipated weight u are working towards, but u can budget 1100-1300 per bird for like 9-10 weeks.. that should be enough for 2.5kg and higher.. just make sure the broilers have dry litter and enough space to flex.
Cheers

Are you sure about dat figure, 1100-1300 per bird for 9-10 to achieve 2.5kg, is dat not too much, hw much do you intend to sell it?

I was just giving him an estimate to work with.. I dont know what weight he is targeting.. Moreover I feel with the feed hike, its safer to work with a rough estimate like that, my opinion tho..

Chickens, not computers, can solve poverty — Bill Gates ON JUNE


10, 20163:21 PMIN NEWSCOMMENTS Want to end extreme poverty? Technology hyper-billionaire Bill Gates says the answer is chickens. And that’s not the name of new Microsoft software. Gates, the founder of the world’s largest software company, says the best thing to improve the lives of the world’s poorest is not computers or the Internet but raising a few roosters and hens. “It’s pretty clear to me that just about anyone who’s living in extreme poverty is better off if they have chickens,” he said this week on his website GatesNotes.com. The world’s richest person, who made his $75 billion fortune pushing for a Microsoft computer in every home, said his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has just partnered with the global development group Heifer International to donate some 100,000 chickens to families in sub-Saharan Africa living on less than $2 a day. The goal, he said, is to get 30 percent of the rural families in the region to raise improved breeds of vaccinated chickens, compared with the current five percent. The return is better than other solutions, he said: Chickens cost little to take care of, they multiply fast and eggs and chicken meat can boost family nutrition. They also empower women, he said. “Because chickens are small and typically stay close to home, many cultures regard them as a woman’s animal, in contrast to larger livestock like goats or cows. Women who sell chickens are likely to reinvest the profits in their families.”

BEWARE: Imported frozen poultry can kill — Experts ON MAY 15, 20169:15 AMIN HEALTH, NEWSCOMMENTS By Chioma Obinna

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has warned that consumption of imported frozen poultry products may lead to cancer, kidney diseases and hypertension. Unfortunately, the warning has not deterred many Nigerians from consuming them. According to a former NAFDAC Director-General, Dr Paul Orhii, the risk in the products comes as a result of substances that can predispose one to kidney, liver and lung diseases as well as certain types of cancer and drug resistant bacterial infections among others. Medical experts believe that consumption of the products can be a silent-killer because they may not show symptoms before attacking. Apart from the health implications of the products, the importation also impedes local poultry production as farmers have to contend with low market demand. Findings have shown that about 50 million Nigerians eat imported chicken, turkey and fishes almost on a daily basis. According to a veterinary expert, Dr. Tito Adebanjo, the use of formalin, a chemical used to embalm corpses and other dangerous substances, to preserve the poultry products, is a cancer-causing chemical also capable of causing liver and kidney diseases. Frozen Chicken “There is little or no mechanisms at our sea ports to screen or detect the residues of chemicals used in the frozen meat being imported to Nigeria, yet the foods find their way to our markets for consumption. Even the ones produced locally, no one really tests them, let alone find out the level of drug residues in them before they are sold to unsuspecting members of the public,” Adebanjo explained He stated that the chemicals can be divided into two segments: Those added to animals’ feeds or injected into them and the preservatives used on the animals’ meat after they are slaughtered. “Some of these chemicals can predispose one to cancer, hypertension or cause antibiotic resistance in man. The relentless drive to produce more animals by some farmers – abroad or locally – in less time at lower cost, is responsible for the routine and indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs in animal, including arsenicals, antibiotics, and other compounds,” the veterinary doctor, who specialises in food hygiene, food safety and zoonoses, added. “The concern, therefore, besides the effects on the livestock industry, is the fact that many analogues of these antibiotics are used in disease management in humans and could consequently add to the development of cross-resistance to antimicrobials administered in human health. “Though the fact that the public may not be aware of the magnitude of the health hazards resulting from consuming meat containing drug residue, that does not imply the adverse effects should not be of serious concern. What often happens is that the chemicals used in the preservation of these foods build up and serve as free agents in the body. Besides, they subsequently break the body down through one disease or another. “Many a time, drug withdrawal periods are not observed or there is over-dosage or under-dosage of these chemicals when used by quacks. The drugs, therefore, accumulate in the meat obtained from such animals. Possible bioaccumulation occurs when these residues present in the animal tissues accumulate continuously over the lifespan of the individuals through prolonged consumption. This is of potential concern in Nigeria where animals’ meat constitutes a major source of animal protein.” Similarly, the President, Poultry Association of Nigeria, Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, who urged the Federal Government to curb the menace, noted that smuggled chicken is responsible for several health issues experienced in the country, “due to the presence of high level of bacteria in the chicken coupled with high toxic chemicals that are used to preserve it just to ensure it gets to our market at cheaper rates.” Also, an investment analyst, Mr. John Ayodele explained that the fact that the foods are smuggled and massively consumed indicates that there is a wide gap in the local market that needs to be bridged. According to him, that gap is not as a result of the inefficiency of poultry owners but due to lack of patronage on the part of consumers. “Operators have invested in slaughtering and de-feathering machinery, packaging and storage facilities as well as marketing strategies to convince Nigerians to patronise their safer and more nutritious products. “This is a viable money making idea for Nigerians, especially the ones in Diaspora seeking viable businesses to set up in Nigeria. Home based Nigerians looking for what to do in retirement can also consider this business. The unemployed Nigerian graduate, who can put on his thinking cap, can also set up in this business, starting small,” he said. Ayodele added that Nigeria has no business importing frozen poultry, which can easily be produced at home to provide employment and create wealth for her citizens. “If patronized, operators can reduce the unemployment rate by over two million in one month and that will just be the beginning in Nigeria,” he added. Also, an economist, Dr. Olusola Owoeye, explained that Nigerian consumption is put at 1.5million tonnes, while production is estimated to be about 350,000mt tones, leaving a demand and supply gap of 1.2million tones, which is met through smuggling. He stated that to fully utilise the balance of the industry’s installed capacity of additional 350,000mt will translate to significant benefits through more job creation in form of 350,000 new jobs in maize production, 75,000 new jobs in processing and 500,000 new jobs in ancillary raw materials, products and services. “Reducing smuggling by just 30 percent would result in the creation of about one million jobs. The future of the Nigerian poultry industry hinges delicately on firm decisions on the part of the policy makers to reverse the current unwholesome trends that tend to tilt the balance more in favour of smugglers while putting the local producers in jeopardy. The investments of local producers need urgent safeguard and support that would enable them to remain competitive in the face of smugglers onslaught,” he stated.

Walexwal:
weldone bro. MY birds are having the same symptoms but after using the antibiotics, their production dropped to 55%. what can i do to raise their production level back? some of the birds are laying very minute eggs too. pls kindlt hlp sir

You are not supposed to use pure antibiotics for laying birds, it will surely affect their production. but no qualms, give them multivitamins and their production will be back to normal gradually.

Thanks Solomon. which antibiotics can I use because of next time.

taiwoliu:


Please answer these questions...

It takes 26hrs for a layer to form an egg and hen day percentage is calculated as follows:
Assuming you have 200 birds and they are producing 4 crates daily;
4*30=120 (number of eggs layed on that day)

(total number of eggs layed on that day)÷(total number of birds in the pen)
which is:120÷200=0.6
0.6*100=60%

I believe this would be very helpful.

Walexwal:

You can use any antibiotics that contain mixture of vitamins eg embaceryl, neoceryl etc

U can debeak day 10 or day 2. Dont knw about the place u use. U can also vaccinate for ecoli n salomnea. It expensive but prevention is better than cure. Also ur feeding. Do u make ur feed or u buy finished feed. If u make them. I will advise u to use bone bisphosohate. It is sold at agrited. It better than using ordinary bone. Regular vitamin also.

how old are they?
Have you vaccinated against Newcastle disease?
one thing you should know is that not only birds that suffer from coccidiosis passout green feaces, Newcastle disease has such symptoms.
so what you should do is separate those sick ones from the other.
vaccinate all of them with lasota.
the next day give all of them antibiotics with anticocci together with any multivite.
you can buy megadox(antibiotics)
emberzyn forte(anticocci)
vitalyte(multivite) or any multivite of your choice. but make sure you buy the megadox and emberzyn forte the are very active drugs..
Hope in God all will be well...
