WhatsApp Business enables you to have a business presence on WhatsApp, communicate more efficiently with your customers, and help you grow your business.

If you have separate business and personal phone numbers, you can have both WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Messenger installed on the same phone, and register them with different numbers.

In addition to the features available in WhatsApp Messenger, WhatsApp Business includes:

• BUSINESS PROFILE: Create a profile for your business to help your customers find valuable information — like your website, location, or contact information.

• BUSINESS MESSAGING TOOLS: Be more responsive to your customers by using Away messages to indicate that you're away.

• LANDLINE/FIXED NUMBER SUPPORT: You can use WhatsApp Business with a landline (or fixed) phone number and your customers can message you on that number. During verification, select the “Call me” option to receive the code over a phone call.

• RUN BOTH WHATSAPP MESSENGER AND WHATSAPP BUSINESS: You can use both WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Messenger on the same phone, but each app must have its own unique phone number.

• WHATSAPP WEB: You can more efficiently respond to your customers right from your computer's browser.

WhatsApp Business is built on top of WhatsApp Messenger and includes all the features that you rely on, such as the ability to send multimedia, free calls*, free international messaging*, group chat, offline messages, and much more.

*Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details.

Note: once you restore your chat backup from WhatsApp Messenger to WhatsApp Business, you will no longer be able to restore it back to WhatsApp Messenger. If you would like to go back, we recommend that you copy the WhatsApp Messenger backup on your phone to your computer before you start using WhatsApp Business.

You have an outbreak of coccidiosis on your hands. You need to change their litter fast. Place them on Vitacox 3-1-2. 3 days on the drug, 1 day of plain water, 2 days on the drug.

For docs to have this kind of problem, I don't have a definite answer.

Just follow the orthodox way of antibiotics, multivitamin and good feed.

Hi guys,
My job is shaking so I want to delve into agric- poultry farming for a start, then piggery much later. I need you guys to hold my hands all the way.My hubby is into sale of animal feeds in the area where I intend to start my farm. I chose this area cos it is close to Ph and there are lots of farms too.


No 1- I have 500k for this project, and the cost of land is almost same in the location where I want to run this. I live in a rented apartment and cannot do anything in my backyard. Apart from the cost of land, there is also cost of fencing the land and putting farm structures which I cannot afford at the moment. I told my hubby to help me find poultry farms that are not in use. He has found 2 which I can discus rentage with owners. The location has many farms and seem to be a choice area for farms. What are the things I should look out for before renting any of the farms? If the farms were deserted cos of disease, what precautions should I take to make sure this does not repeat?

2.) I want to use Agrited or Saheed chicks for this project and I heard the cost is still high for day old chicks? Has anybody used Chikun birds?

Disinfect the farm with polidine and wash the floor. You can also spray sniper if possible a week before introducing the birds

first, you mentioned lamp?. I hope it's not kerosene lamp?. if it is, then you have a case to address.
Then getting quality day old chicks is highly advised if u must achieve success in this business .
Again, on this drugs you are mentioning. please can u tone down a bit. And how is your brood pen construction?. I hope the ventilation is properly crossed to give room for fresh air to avoid accumulation of bad ones that can result into a CRD case.
Meanwhile take advantage of this whatsapp training to get fortified in the poultry business.
Thanks.

Oga please how many days can a chick stay in brood house before exploded to fresh air cause I leave them for 2weeks before I transfer them to farm
Re: ... by Turks: 2:22pm On May 02, 2018
They should be exposed to fresh air at least once a day for 30min to 1hr. How would you feel in a room with no windows for two weeks without fresh air? Walk a mile in the DOC’s shoes.

Some locations aren’t too friendly as regards weather. Yours for instance. It’s always hot at your end like you mentioned in one of your comments so it’s fine to leave the traps up all day. Some places in the east experience extreme cold. You wouldn’t want to risk leaving the tarps up without some form of artificial heating system in place

Am in Imo state so the weather is warm I opened the whole trampoline now till evening and I lost 5 already because of eyes closed though one wanted to get same infection I applied coconut oil on its eyes and now its not closing again.

Re: ... by Turks: 4:12pm On May 02, 2018
it’s a sign that there isn’t enough ventilation and the ammonia from their litter has caused an infection callled Coryza. I’m sure some of them are sneezing. Look closely. Coryza and respiratory isssues work hand in hand.

That's why it's best to use a thermometer. Agrited after 5 days only need 28c to stay healthy.

please remove the kerosene lamp as fast as possible. to avoid chronic respiratory disease CRD if u are not battling it already.
use coal pots to provide heat. and get a recharge lantern as light for them to see and have access to food and water.
Brood pen must not be sealed. Their should be ventilation especially for the hotter parts of the day, so nice air can flow. Once u have a coal pot burning, u need ventilation to balance temperature and air flow.
Then serve them clean water .
are u a First timer in this business?.

Dear Oga Emma, Mr. Turks, Elvischris, Munzy14, and every other person here. I want to really appreciate the good work you are all dong here. May God bless you richly.

Here is my story:

I have always wanted to start up a small scale poultry but my major challenge has always been location, I stay on a residential estate here in Lagos and it wouldn't be cool doing poultry here, but recently I got the opportunity of getting a small space somehow far away from where I stay and I think that will be the best place for me to do this. Having gotten through with this challenge I think I am prepared to venture in this business but, there are still some challenges which I am rest assured that with people like you I will definitely scale through. Here are my questions:

1. I have read the thread all through and I have decided to go organic. Can you please help me with a chart for this? I.e. What medication to buy and how to prepare and administer them and when they should be administered.

2. Can you please give me a list of things I need to buy before I start. Although I know some of them but I really do not want to miss any. (Na the list wey u give me I go carry go market).

3. Any other thing you think I should know.

Thanks as I patiently expect your quick and sincere answers as usual. May God continue to bless you all.

Nice to see farmers venture into organic way of poultry.
Ones u have done your pen construction and have a brooding pen to start from day old chicks, you are good to go.
All you need is a probiotic, prebiotic and few phytobiotics organic supplements. They first two are readily available. The last involves herbs you will get within your environment.
Please check up this upcoming training. I will share the flyer. There u have to contact saka @organic foods to get the organic supplements. Then contact preemah agro for healthy and fast growing broilers.
