boladonas:
Please I want to start with 1000 birds.....Do you have a manual on how i can start it?
Do you have the funds yet, do you have a particular structure put up for the birds?
Anyway, I authored a 63 page comprehensive poultry manual as well as another 28 page manual specifically dedicated to poultry diseases and two other manuals on other very important management issues that result to losses in hen day production as well as liveability of the birds.
With the combination of these poultry management guides as well as a continuous follow up on your progress, you can be rest assured that you will definitely get to succeed if you are committed to the growth and performance of your birds’ right from the day they are stocked in your pen to when they start laying till they attain peak production.
You can contact me through my signature to grab them.

@zopaks, pls sir, how do u know or calculate metabolisable energy kcal/kg in feed formulation and what is d right ME for broiler and layers and why? Thanks
Hahaha....Nice questions, they are quite technical.

Metabolisable energy basically has to do with the amount of energy available to the birds (afer excretion) to meet up with requirements of....

1) Energy to provide a stable egg production
2) normal daily metabolic activity of the bird
3)Progressive weight gain which is directly related to the size/weight of the eggs at a particular age of the bird.
It is measured in kcalME/kg.

Generally broilers will always require a higher ME than layers due to the fact that these broilers are heavier breeds in body weight and so will require more ME for maintenance of its metabolic body activity as well as its rapid growth and development.


The recommended Metabolisable Energy in Broiler Starter feed is 3000 kcalME/kg, For Broiler Grower it increases to 3100 and for Broiler Finisher it further increases to 3200 kcalME/kg meaning that the birds requirement for ME increase with corresponding Increment in age and weight of the broiler birds.



For Layers they require feed (layer starters feed’s Metabolisable energy Is 2950kcal/kg )with a higher ME at their early stage from Day old for about the first five weeks to meet up for the energy requirements for rapid growth and feather development which will determine the weight of the birds at the end of this stage of their growth(The First Five weeks…...it can affect the subsequent weight of the birds till it attains the age of sexual maturity).


Subsequently the requirements for ME can then be further reduced in the feed they consume (layer grower Metabolisable energy is 2850kcal/kg ) after changing their feed from Layer starter to grower as they will require less energy requirements in the feed and also from layer grower to layer developer (2750kcal/kg).

Please note that this ( ie Metabolisable energy )can be affected by environmental conditions such as hot temperatures which consequently leads to reduced feed consumption/intake especially in layer pullets.

To reduce the effect of heat stress on feed consumption by the birds, I will advise that you serve early especially at the cooler part of the day

Politics › Re: Nigeria, Poorly Managed For Eight Years – Obasanjo by zopaks:
Obasanjo is not capable of giving advice even to a 9 year

whats good for himself. Obasanjo is a despot, a cheat, an
egomaniac, a tyrant, a manipulator, a hypocrite and a
snake.
Obasanjo is the father of corruption in Nigeria.

Whynotthetruth:
zopaks:Plz What will it cost to raise birds(broilers) from day old to maturity for sales?...A cost analysis will be appreciated... thanks...where can one get the best breed of broilers down south?...estimate of 100-500 birds...
Raising 100-150 broilers
I will assume that you already have your pen ready for stocking the said amount of birds that you intend raising so I may not want to include pen construction cost, I will also want to assume that you have already purchased other basic equipment which include your Feeding and drinking equipment which make up your fixed cost, but from my rough estimate of 200 birds which includes variable cost of feed, purchase of D.O.C, medication, vaccination, labor cost as well as miscellaneous expenses it is expected that you should be ready to spend nothing less than #160,000 to raise 200 commercial broiler birds to a mean average weight of 1.8kg. This is probably equitable to an estimate cost of #800 per bird.

As per your second question, from experience i will Advise you go for Abor Acre breed of broilers. They have a good FCR and this will enable you easily attain the desired weight at the right time putting all proper management practices into place. Make sure that they have a good uniformity when collecting them from the Hatchery.You can as well weigh them once they arrive your farm to study their growth rate.
I know you can get Abor Acre from CHI (Ajanla) farms or basically find out from other experienced broiler farmers in your environs.

EZEUDENE:
plz how can one go about parents stock


Parent stocks Explained


Generally parent stocks birds are raised by farmers who have the intention of hatching their eggs by themselves using a hatchery or a third party hatchery service.
In raising them you have to introduce a specific amount of male birds amongst the female population for mating and subsequently fertilization to occur in the female birds.
To start with you as well have to first purchase the parent stock birds at the rates which are higher than the commercial day old chicks that we purchase from most common hatcheries. One thing is that the parent stock D.O.C are not as common to get as the commercial D.O.C because it is only farms that raise Grand Parent Stock breeds that do sell them and that is if they are into the business of selling Parent stock breeds.
While raising them, I want to emphasize that their vaccination programme is far more complex and expensive than the conventional commercial bird
If you really want to go into raising the Parent stock and want to purchase them their rates differ from one breeder farm to the other and may be between #700 to #850, where i know they sell it at the rate of #750 for the layer breeds.(isa and nera)
