dear House,

my layers are dying. what can I do.

Their vaccination is up to date. its infact due this weekend. prior to this time i have been loosing them 1 by 1.
I want to give them lasota on saturday but what drug can i use to salvage the situation pending vaccination.

The Vet Doctor has a date he will come i.e. every 25th of the month.

as the case now, i dont want the bird to finish before he comes.
he has advised viramix + furatadone.

please great farmer help.

You don't give fura-based drugs to layers! Infact it's banned in many countries. What are the prevailing signs and symptoms? State and color of poo? Age? Deep litter or cage? Water source? What have you observed apart from the mortalities?

Why Not Start With The Prescription He Gave You. 25th Is Just A Few Days Away.

A lot can happen in 24hrs if the right action is not taken!

olawale4725:


pls hlp, am new in dis business, i av 1000 layers dey started laying (1-2 egg/day) at 21weeks-1day. They are currently 22weeks 3days nd re laying 4 eggs per day, is dier somfin wrong

What's the average weight of your flock? What's the percentage uniformity? If all these are standard then you can expect increase in production every other week!

Felshow:



Thanks Yemmit. I have started with anti-cocci today the 12th day (Will last for 4 days). I used kepcox. They were given gumboro on the 9th day. I hope I am on track. (I mixed my pullets and broilers together).

KEPCOX is a Toltrazuril based drug and manufacturer's dosage says administer for 2 consecutive days! 4 days administration is welcome invite to resistance and may weaken the liver of the birds! Besides you didn't mention that there was an outbreak!

Worm infestation, diarrhoea, fowl typhoid, cocci, poor appetite can cause greenish poo also heat. When last did you deworm?

Use Doxygen and Admacine. Remember you shouldn't vaccinate sick birds!

First mistake sir. Never ever mix birds of different batches together. U dont knw wat bacteria or disease each bactch has. It might be d heat is nt enough. Soo they r sharing body heat. N maybe someone else can comment. But plss never do dat again.

Hello Hindsight,

It really appreciate your ingenuity at putting this together. I will be an avenue for us to learn and develop through collaboration.

I already have a poultry and fish farm in Lagos, I have however been doing about 200 pullets from ground up. This time I have invested into 2000birds. I intend to use the cage system and i see it as capital intensive as i look to spending About 1.5M on cages procurement but even at that i am sure ROI is still good and its added asset to the farm.

Also, I will be adding 50 turkeys to the existing farm.

My main concern now is that I need to FEED these guys and my solution to this  will be to build a mini feed mill.

Is anyone here in the house who understands poultry feeds, mixing and the machines to setup a small feedmill to feed my birds.

I anticipate your responses.

Please I'd love to start a poultry, going through this thread I've read/learnt alot as we learn everyday,
there are things I need to know about the it.
ECONOMY/BIRD SELECTION AND POULTRY SIZE

1.BROILER, COCKEREL AND PULLETS
* WHAT IS THE DEFERENCE BETWEEN THESE BIRDS.
* WHAT IS THE ECONOMIC VALUE/DIFFERENCES DO THEY HAVE.

2. SPACING.
STARTING WITH DOC, CAN A (12 MITRE SQUARE) PENT HOUSE TO ACCOMODATE 250 BIRDS TO PONT-OF-SALE ?

3. FEEDS
*WHAT KIND OF FEEDS WILL BE ADVISED, DO I MILL FOR MYSELF OR BUY FROM POULTRY STORE?

you mixed first batch and second batch together, now how do you go about their vaccination.
Newcastle vaccine is given at the 8th day, now how do you give only first batch without mistakenly given second batch likewise the gumboro vaccine.

you have made a very big mistake.
if you can separate them kindly do it now.
because vaccine not administered at when due have some deleterious effect.

For the huddling increase the room temperature and just give them broad spectrum antibiotics ( you can go for megadox) with multivitamins.

Hope all will be well...

Can I give Dem lasota or gumboro today which has made Dem 8 n 5 days respectively..... Because I read from some previous post that they do give lasota a day 3/4 n gumboro from 6 days
Please help... My chicks are dried up, Dia buttocks are not enlarged again.

That is a great idea considering the present want for white meat and poultry products
