Good morning house, I'm new to this business and I intend starting off next week. I will like to know which is more profitable between brooding for 4 weeks and selling off or raising to maturity and selling off. Also how many weeks dies it take to raise to maturity and estimated average cost per bird to maturity. Thanks.

shurinz:


Bro, I noticed something like watery substance coming out of the eye of one of my broiler. What could it be? And how can it be treated?

jjbest123:
Both are profitable, just make market survey first to know how it is in your area, then do your marketing as well.

buchhogonzalez:


Thanks for the response. Do I follow the schedule from vets or follow those found online as some of them could be really confusing

jjbest123:
That's one of the signs of chronic respiratory diseases, have you treated them?

EMMAACHILE:



I advise you give admacine or gumbocine and add polidine. Possibly after a day with clean water, give EST mix

Vaccination schedule can be various. I normally give antibiotics ( a good one) every two week eg
Day 3-7
Day 17-21
Day 31-35 etc

tasho105:

EMMAACHILE:

EMMAACHILE:

Next time, get a broad spectrum antibiotics like est mix and administer. The one you are using is weak

From the pix, the bird looks healthy and the eyes seem normal.

shurinz:


thanks once again, I will get both gumbozine and est mix, but pls what is polidine for?

EMMAACHILE:


Its a disinfectant
BENEFITS:
Protect your birds from spread of infection diseases like fowl cholera, CRD, Colibacilosis, fowl coryea ,salmonellosis, aspergilosis etc.

buchhogonzalez:


How is polidine applied?
Is it used before the birds arrive?
How often should it be used?

EMMAACHILE:

Through drinking water or can be sprayed on the floor in the house. Its not harmful to the birds.

Can be used every time

Depends but can be applied monthly or twice a month for five days.

buchhogonzalez:


You mean I can apply it in their drinking water too?

Please could you send me your number? Iam getting my birds this week and its my first time...i need guidance

THE BRAND NAME OF THE FEED

00Chymes00:


No brand name yet. I'm milling my myself with my own formula. Cheers.

JBoy9:


Pls what has been the result of this tormula on ur birds so far? I'm in PHC too, can I pay a visit to ur farm cuz i'll be needing u and EMMAACHILE's guidance in the next few weeks as I intend to start a 1000-bird farm. I have absolutely zero knowledge tho' apart from d basics I've read here on NL.

Pls help a bro. I recently lost my job in a bank, so I'm starting this with the little savings I have and family's contributions. Thanks

EMMAACHILE:

If you have not bought, i advise you hold on. There are other agro based ventures more profitable than poultry.
Some need to wait months before returns while others get returns per week.

It also depends on your capital. Huge capital in excess of 800,000 sustains and grows your lifestyle if used widely in this recession.

Hope I am not a stumbling block for you.
