Could be a lot of things. From NCD to IBD. How old are the birds?

rust6:
How do I treat this
Signs are ruffled feathers pale combs and partial paralysis

Panting doesn’t necessarily equate to CRD.

ezkimow:
If you have Tylosin or Tylodox give to them for 3-5 days, follow dosage. Next time try using rice bran instead of saw dust, saw dust almost always causes respiratory issues...

No it cannot.

presiade:
Please can Newcastle disease be effectively eliminated from an infected lot? I need urgent response... Some birds have died and the rest have been placed on Floxinor.... A vet. doctor is working on them, but I need to be sure all the birds won't be lost...

Breathing heavily or panting?

shehufaruq:
My birds which will be 5wks on Friday are breathing heavily so I am administering Maxycerl plus Virusine starting yesterday.

Please advice from the gurus in the house is welcome

I disagree. Perhaps you got not so good birds. Zartech birds are prolific.

FlintGuevara:
I hope this isn't coming too late. Run away from Zartech birds. I'm yet to get over my experience with their birds. The birds grow fast, but risk of disease from the hatchery is sky high. You can try Agrited, Cascada or even Chikun (they also stock Cobb 500 strain like Zartech). Poor quality birds aside, Zartech has the nastiest customer complaint system. They only came down from their high horse the day I sent them a letter with my law firm letterhead.

This is correct.

sanni4susx:
I was told that it's first stage of Marek diseases by an Agro-Vet

Dry feet. Looks like a viral disease.

sanni4susx:
Hi everyone, I need your help one of my Cockerels(7 weeks old) has either partial paralyzed or suffering from internal bleeding (bcuz I can see something like blood around it's lapses bcuz the body is still transparent).
He can't walk well. Please help me out.

Please how can I cure this organically or with drug please help

Poop looks ok. Share a pic of the bird.

sanni4susx:
Right now only one
Drop is somehow light brown with white (pic 1)
It's the leg bcuz it's standing upright (tail and leg on ground head up)

True

Floryangel8:
I wanted to buy it this year but the distributor was the one that told why waste 6 months in raising cockerel since I have been doing broilers and layers. He said if you have tasted the profit in broilers and layers then cockerel is a waste of time.


uote author=femora007 post=75011415] Thanks, pls elaborate on this

Go ahead and share please.

sanni4susx:
I have little problem with one of my birds

Meat production; especially easing broilers is GIGO. Garbage in, Garbage out. You can’t reduce the quality of feed and expect good growth out of your birds.

Good feed = Good Growth
Good Growth = Speedy target weight.

That’s the secret in raising broilers. Nothing more.

Willie2015:
Well done & good job....

10 bags at an average cost of N3600/bag will give N 36,000 on feed...
50 birds at an average cost of N200 will give N10,000.00
Drugs stand at 5% of feeds which is N1800...
One dose of Gumb + Lasota gives like N1500..
Transport plus Kerosine gives like N2000
Total Estimated Cost =N=51,300.00

Revenue = 1050*52 =N=54,600 (Mortality of 5%)
Profit = N3,300.00 ....6.4% per batch

Feeds always take over 70% of the total cost of production ...
How can someone reduce feed cost to make broiler production profitable without compromising quality .....
cc Emma & Turks

How old are they? What’s their current average weight?

FlintGuevara:
The birds are all doing fine. The only mortality I recorded was as a result of stampede in the enclosure I used for brooding. I administered Gumboro yesterday. I don't give them drugs, I use ginger, garlic and bitter leaf extract for their drug needs at the moment. The ginger and garlic are ever present in their water, while I've only administered bitterleaf extract twice.
I also mix dry crushed pawpaw leaf and bitterleaf in their feed.

Way to go sir! They look good. Please change that bedding to wood shaving or rice husk. The cartons you’re using isn’t healthy. It won’t absorb the chicken poo as it should. Other than that, Kudos!

It’s probably the vitamins you give. You’re either giving it in excess or it’s just a regular poop. Nothing to be scared of I suppose.

Floryangel8:
They are very ok. 650 in number. 2 months into lay and deep litter system. Taking vitamin presently.

Polidine + Admacine
Neodine + Admacine
Iodesteryl + Admacine


This is a great combo for battling NCD. But first, always isolate the affected bird/s so they don’t further infect the flock. Feed the birds the already medicated water for 3-5 days. Give La Sota on the 6th day.

The reason for giving the above medication is to lower the viral load in the birds. Without lowering the viral load and administering La Sota, you’ll lose a very large percentage of your birds; if not all. I learnt all these the hard way. Please be advised. Thanks.

Favourme84:
Which super starter will you recommend for me...
Vital Feed
Top Feed
Chickun
Please your swift response will be highly appreciated.

It’s an iodine based disinfectant that can be fed to the birds. It also serves as an antiviral. Follow the dosage or 10ml to 8L of water. It’s either Polidine, Neodine or iodesteryl.

rust6:
Whatever it is it's affecting them fast dey were three before but now they are 7.
First thing that happens is the stop walking then they lose appetite and then stop eating.
Then they pass watery and greenish stool.
Then massive weight loss they are getting to three months.
I have but the polidine very expensive but the vet told me not to put in their drinking water as he said it was a disinfectant so what do I do now

Could mean a lot of things. You have to give a brief history of your birds as well as their current state.

Floryangel8:
Please what is the meaning of this poo.

Thank you for your patronage sir.

Kindly update us on how things are going with the birds sir.

FlintGuevara:
I tried Zartech once and saw "nwii". I lost 7 birds within 8 days. I got the birds on the 22nd of October and started noticing brown/red droppings on the 24th of the same October.
I pray yours do well. Zartech birds grow well, they stock fast growing Cobbs, but I no do again. Currently raising a carton of Cascada birds I got from oga Turks. All 49 birds are healthy, the one that died succumbed to stress. I will upload a picture of them when I go to see them tomorrow.

Modified;
I just saw a pic of a curious bird from the cascada batch I got from Turks. The birds were 5 days old in this shot.

This is NEW CASTLE DISEASE. Isolate the culprit and place the lot on Polidine for 5 days. Vaccinate with La Sota on the 6th day

rust6:
Please how do I treat this I have tried Pantacox-plux and its not really doing much

royal200:
Please where can I make some order for broiler DOC

This, in a nutshell is all he needs. TRAINING.

sammorad:
Kaiiii, just seeing ur post and I feel bad and bitter about ur experience.

Like every other business, poultry needs training and a good background understanding before u venture into it.

But unfortunately many of us just think it is about gathering chicken and buying food and drugs.

U need to understand d rearing and d marketing to enable u do well in dis business.

Both egg marketing and broiler sales are specialised marketing dt u need to understand.

I advice u stay around on dis thread and u will learn more.

Please tell him.

Senatordeproff:
I have just had 3 turn around and can gladly tell you,
you don't know what you are talking about. You only but needed attention, now I have given you. REST and stop exposing your ignorance publicly

It’s French.

La Sota.

stiles009:
Weldone boss.
I think its Lasorta sir not lusola.
And the administration seems too apart, you might want to adjust to be 1st and second dose at 2 weeks interval, preferably 2nd and 4th week.

I.e gumboro 7th day (1st dose)
Lasorta 14th day (1st dose)
Gumboro 21st day (2nd dose)
Lasorta 28th day (2nd dose)

I'm sincerely following this, like every other of your post.
More greese to your elbow sir!

This has to be the best ever!

It’s going to be detailed as well as all encompassing. Miss it, miss out!

Are you willing to pay for this?

Bentila:
Oga Turk, can you pls send a detailed write up on how to organically raise birds from day old to 7-8weeks? Kindly also include disease control measures, treatment of various diseases. I intend doing fully organic by January thanks alot sir(you can send to agamre1@yahoo.com)
