Hold On Tight To That Farm Because It Seems They Are Insulated From What Is Affecting Other Farms.

Blackkie:
Medium - N640
Big - N665
Jumbo - N710
The farm is at Ilaro Ogun state.

What Is The Average Rate You Get Your Big And Medium Sized Eggs/crate From The Farms.

Blackkie:
Over here, its like the tides are vacillating - it reminds me of Nigerian Stock Market.
Some stores have not sold off their last weeks supply.

There must be a reason:-
Many adjusted their sales rate to N35/N40 which made some end users to back off.

Lets see what the situation will look like by weekend.

But the market sweet now, I no go lie.

bosaty2003:
Dear Farmers,
Please how often do I change my layer litter.

I have 1400 layers and they just started laying. Pls how often should i change the litters in a month or how often.

They are in deep litter system.

thanks.

When The Litter Is Wet Or Very Sticky To Touch.Also,When You Perceive Ammonia Odour.U Should Use Rake/garden Fork To Always Turn The Sawdust Over.

olawale4725:
if u dug a pit below/under the pen and ur pen has a kind of soakaway outside which the pit under the pen is linked to, then u should push and flush out the droppings every 4days, buh if otherwise i.e (u didn't dig any pit) i wld advice u make it a daily routine or at least pack every 2days

Do You Know The Meaning Of Deep Litter Or Didnot Read Through His Post?

In Fairness What Is Affecting You Guys Is Also Affecting Farmers.
There Is An Astronomical Increase In Cost Of Feed.Add This To Drop In Egg Production And Running Cost Has Also Increased(feeding,medication,staff Salary,transportation Etc).Then You'll Know Farmers Are Also Affected.

Nwaonyeocha:
Does farm owners visit this thread at all?

There Is A Continous Increase In Feed Cost @ The Moment,Farm Gate Prices May Shoot Up.

Blackkie:
The market is in need of eggs.
There is a ''little'' scarcity and the offer rates going northwards.

If you have contacts with good offers lets talk.

Infact,the Continuos Increase In Feed Cost Is Something Else.

bosaty2003:
Good day great Farmers,
Please how much is a crate of egg from the farm now that the cost of feed has gone up again.
kindly advice

He Should Pray The Prosecution Does Not Appeal The Case.If They Do,death Sentence Is Sure.

dridowu:
"In principle, we are satisfied with the verdict. However, we would think and consider about appealing it," the lawyer, Dolfie Rompas, said.....................why won't he be satisfied ? He escape capital punishment, good for him but he would have to spend 20years of his life behind the bar

Pls Confirm And Revert Back To The House.

Blackkie:
I nearly went mad today but couldn't.
May this information never become a general order - I was offered a crate of unsorted eggs for N720 earlier today.

If the rumours that an increment is around the corner comes true small wahala go dey.
Until Monday morning when the distributors from Ibadan and Oyo will be in Lagos, then I will confirm it all.

Pls,what Is The Reason(s) For The High Cost Of Pullet DOC?is there possibility it will come down?

#270 * 500=#135,000

Meanwhile,increase In Breeding Cost(high Cost Of DOC,Feed And Other Inputs) does Not Result In Increase Of Egg Prices For Farmers.

Pls,am Not Trying To Demarket You As Your Price Is Similar To Others,just Trying To Rub Minds On The Future Of Poultry Farming.

My Point Is Many Existing Farmers May Close Shop While New/intending Farmers Will Backtrack.

Blackkie:
Are you getting enough bashing from your clients about the offer rates and sizes of available eggs?

The thing don tire me.

I joking told one woman to bring the hen she left at home in Imo state to Lagos to start laying big eggs for her.

Two Bags Of Feed For 930birds And You Are Complaining Of Stunted Growth.What And How You Feed Them Is What You Get.You Better Increase Their Feed.

A Bag Of Feed Should Be For 220birds Maximum.

Nbg4real:

1. Birds On Deep Litter Are Prone To Lice Infestation.Delice Them Again Using "Pour On". Pack Their Litter & Spray Surrounding.

2. Coccidiosis Could Be Difficult To Treat.I'll Advice u Repeat The Treatment.Vitacox Is Good.

3. After Vitacox,Give Multivitamin For About 2days.Then,Use Penprovit/Anicillin To Take Care Of Infections.

4.After Penprovit,Use Multivitamin For Them For 5-7 Days.

Note: I Gave This Outline Based On My Experience And What Worked For Me. NOT as a Doc.

jayned:
Last time I dewormed them was April 20th less than a month now.

I gave them lasota this morning and the last time was exactly a month ago.

They are in deep litter and they consume 2 to 2.5 bags a day.

They are 525 in number. I have lost 22 since this episode started 8 weeks ago.

Just treated them for coccidiosis about 10 days ago. I used Centre totlr, centre medicox

About ventilation, all the vents are always open

Finally, they don't have lice.

Thanks a lot.

Why Not Take Some Samples For Lab Test To Determine What Is Wrong & Antibiotics Sensitivity Test.

Are They Caged Or On Deep Litter?

Meanwhile,Put Neodine Or Iodasteryl And Penprovit In Their Water.

oyee2003dr:

I use deep litter and they started laying in January.

Even Some Of Their (whites) So Called College Fraternities Initiations Are Not Different From Nigerian Campus Cult Initiation.

delishpot:
White people do their own too. Go watch and read about Bohemian groove or check out YouTube for videos about them. Even skull and bones. Don't be too hasty to compare blacks negatively to whites. Whether your religious principles accept it or not, is another story all together

You Did Not State Their Age But If They Are On Deep Litter,it Could Be Coccidiosis Or A Bacterial Infection.

Use Viracox For Them And Also Replace Their Litter.

smankerana:
Good day farmers. Pls help. l found one of my pullets dead this morning. They are feeding well but l notice a whitish poo. l checked just now and another one is dead with a few dozzing off. Today is sunday so no pm. what can that be and how do l remedy the situation? Pls help.

Inclusion Level Is Dependent On Type And Manufacturer. The Vet Drug Store/toll Miller You Are Buying From Are In A Better Position To Advice You.

raphemmanuel:

Can you please tell me the inclusion level and they type of enzyme you used.

Hi fellow farmers. My birds are 33 weeks old and egg production is yet to peak. The current production rate this week is 68% before this, it was 67%. Please note that they started laying at 19weeks and at 23 weeks production rate was 72%. But then they came down with catarrh and ecoli and things have not been the same again. They have come down with all sorts including new castle and coccidiosis. At the moment, they seem ok. They feed well and there are hardly any weak sick looking ones. As a first timer, I need advice from your wealth of knowledge on whether to sell off and count my losses or if there is hope for me in this case. Thank you.

The Excessive Heat May Be A Contributory Factor To The Seeming Delay.Though There Is No Cause For Alarm Now Until Their 24th Week And They Dont Drop.
Give Them Multivitamin With Amino Acid And A High Level Of Vit.C.
Increase Their Feed A Little And Ensure Cool Drinking Water.

If You Have The Means, Relocate Your Mum.

I Guess You Applied The Chicken Manure In Its Wet Form,it Generates A Lot Of Heat While Decomposing .Its Better To Spread & Let It Dry In The Sun So It Releases Its Heat Before Mixing It With The Soil.

vanpeele:
Because it didn't work for me but mimmms says it worked for her....so contact her

Why Is Chicken Manure Not Good/usable?Pls Give Reasons.

vanpeele:
@plonuh Get a sack, pour in suitable soil mixed with cow manure (NEVER USE CHICKEN MANURE) and plant any crop you like.
