I've been down a bit for the past few days as we had Newcastle disease outbreak, it was unexpected

Green and white coloured feaces was observed and before I say jack, there were mortalities. I came to the farm to put on the lights around 8 pm only to meet the casualties....
GOMBO ND and another drug was prescribed

I've been down a bit for the past few days as we had Newcastle disease outbreak, it was unexpected

Thanks for the feedback on vaccination.

1st Lasota should be on the 7th day. 1st Gumboro on the 14th day. 2nd Lasota on the 21st day and 2nd Gumboro on the 28th day. 3rd Lasota follows on the 35th day then they are ready for the market. Well done.

I used this : gumboro day 7, lasota 14, gumboro 21, lasota day 28

Cost of everything is on the high, from chicken net (someone advised boko haram net, i couldn't as it's higher for my budget)

I observed some are sneezing, tylodos was recommended and administered

Day 19: Birds are doing fine, moved to a bigger pen

Some of us don't have huge 10million naira, but i just have paltry 2million naira. Please can this do something?

You can start with what you have, 500 DOC is a great starting point if you have an established farm setup

Day 14: 1st dose of Lasota was administered

A 25kg bag of feeds got exhausted earlier today, now on the second bag.
The birds are doing great

Kehfie:
Will this provide the chicks with enough heat? I'm not an expert. Just wondering.

Not really

3 mortalities recorded, i want to assume this was due to heat stress

This heat is getting excessive, all outlets are opened.

Day 7: They were given Gumboro vaccine

It is for illumination, the heat we experiencing at the moment is on the high.
The bulb lasts 4 hrs.

2 mortality recorded so far.

I heard a sound like a distress kinda sound, on getting there, i saw a bird on it's back, picked it up and in less than 2 mins it stopped breathing, i couldn't fathom what and how it happened.

hartson:
it depends on a lot of factor so the more money you have the better.I started last year with 400k and today am happy.If you have up to that or more you can start with it.cheers

Aside the starting capital, do I have to join a union?
How about those produce task force, how do one deal with them

One mortality was recorded this morning, this particular bird is a runt, i observed this on day 1, as it was assisted with water intake.

Shinjawestside:
Wish u luck

Birds are doing fine, very active.
I got a rechargeable bulb today as alternative as IBEDC disappointed last night.
