The weather is not easy this days cut palm leaves and put on top ur pen or use carton and make sure their is always water to avoids dehydration

I always release them on free range as early as 7am, and take them back to their cage lately 8:30pm

Redomi:

I want to ferment their feed and feed them once or twice in a day, and provide enough water to burn the fat.

Pls provide enough water but I don't really think fat is the cause if this deaths
Dehydration and weather are more of a likely cause

Redomi:
What I found inside

What you have there in the second pix is blood clotting and the major reason is simply the long exposure to the heat, being that broilers are fragile and tend not to know when the heck to gerrouta the sun, like local chicks will sun bathe and when the heat becomes intense, they move off to a more cooler area, broiler do not know exactly when to move until it becomes too late....
Take for in stance, you have a poultry house facing the west, when temperature not controlled, this is exactly what is gonna happen to a lot of the chicks when they are faced with the direct sunlight; all the blood in their system gathers down around the abdomen and birds becomes too weak to move and eat, finally the give up and dies

Remedy; stop exposing birds to harsh weather condition, instead of free ranging, get yellow maize and grind to crumbles(crumbles and not mash please), and feed them for like a week, this will help toughen their skin a bit and make them hardy to withstand some weather conditions,
secondly, always ensure to give them glucose in water every evening as to raise their sugar level, if possible, combine with multivitamin
Wishing you all the best.

Desist from this practice for the now

Seriously I'm sad this morning, birds that don't die during brooding are now dying at maturity. I have lost 10 birds between their 5th to 7th week. I lost another one this morning.
Each time I open the stomach, I found too much of fat inside, is it the fat that is killing them?
I noticed all of them are too lazy to walk or even stand to eat or drink. Is that how Agrited birds do?
All my stress and money gone, others are still there lying down, gave them Antibiotics from Friday till Sunday and gave them Lasota yesterday. I have given all drugs I know, no changes.
I have to try another strain of birds, maybe Obasanjo, I have 41 birds left out of 51.
My profit is gone, despite I bought them high at DOC, even bigh cost of feed, etc.
They are on free range from more till night everyday before I put them back into their cage every night.
Better someone brood Kuroiler or noiler in July for Christmas than buying Broilers incOctober for Christmas, these Broilers are Amaka, they can Disappoint even Satan.

I'm beginning to wonder why dis particular Agrited bought around October is like dat. I also experience same thing o, lost 6 birds on sunday alone which have never happened to me before. I'm just fed up of all dis wahala sef

Hello farmers in the house. Is it advisable to use chick mash for DOC layers considering the fact that starter is 4k plus now and mash is 3800 or there about

Interesting read.

Jidestroud, they are in their 7th week sir

These ones are 6 days old today

Hope no more deaths are being recorded?

Hello Everyone. Good day. Please I'd like to leverage the wisdom and expertise of people in this forum. Kindly help critique this proposed broiler farm layout. I wholeheartedly welcome your suggestions and feedback

I guess this is a big project.
I was looking to see where you set aside for brooding, (i.e. your brooding pen)

jidestroud:

No sir since I have started feed fermentation, I feed them grower twice a day, early in the morning, I remove feed before 9am, and feed them 6pm before I put them into their cage at night.
Sometimes when I noticed tired birds, I dip inside water in a bowl raising the head above water level.
Then I forgot to tell you I mixed calcium with their feed every morning.
I want to deworm them tomorrow.
Thank you sir, they are all better, all walking now, they are not as lazy as before

Pls is this only for one broiler pen , if its then it means ur concentration is more on other structure than the pen and I think the pen is supposed to be the revenue generator
Good luck

at 3 weeks.

Bro, you have been told what is wrong. During hot weather, they cannot process food very well. I think AA tolerate heat better than your present breed. The quantity of vitamins in your feed is not enough to sustain them this period. Also, you complained about their legs
I'm glad you added more calcium. It's time to change the feed you are using at this period, or buy additional vitamins and minerals. Make deeper research to know how to use them when the weather is extremely hot. Another solution is that if you are near stream or you use borehole, replace their drinking water when hot. Solution can be that you buy iced block and mix with their water from 12pm to 4pm to reduce heat. But the challenge is that make sure the source of the water is clean.

6 weeks today. Average weight 2.4kg. Lost 14 birds so far. Honestly this set of agrited birds are the worst I've ever raised

I dey tell you brother, I have lost 10 birds from 5th-7th week

Redomi:

I sensed trouble from when they came in as DOC. Looking very small and not as active as the agrited birds I used to know. And that's how they fell sick at any slight carelessness

Redomi:

Bro...you did post mortem and you saw fat. Why blame the breed? You saw it clearly that fat stored in them - Indigestion. You have been told the reason for your failure. Make adjustment fast. Marshall of OBJ needs thorough monitoring during cold. Noiler needs closer monitoring at certain stage. You must know your breed very well. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your breed. Make adjustment and you will be shocked of the rapid recovery and growth you will get.

Then, this is a new info. Thanks for this. Then, something may be wrong with the batches produced at this time.

You are right.. Understanding the breed you buy and what is their challenges is very important in this business.

My birds are seriously infected with coccidiosis and Newcastle disease. Can someone recommend a good combination of drugs please?

As for the coccidiosis, use amprolium but for the new castle, you can only prevent, it can't be treated.
BTW, how did you get to know that they have cccidiosis and new castle, was it through diagnosis or from physical appearance, what are the exhibiting signs you saw that made you to conclude ?
Try uploading a pix or two
