poultry business is good but please if you dont have market for your product please dont try the business, until you have available market for your livestock then you can kick start.My friend who owns turkey ,you suppose to have make your findings about how to market the turkey first before investing in it.Its Livestock business if you dont have market for the birds on time you will keep feeding and at the end it could be loss rather than profit .

Vitamins necessary from time to time to keep your birds healthy

@To whom ever cares to read/as follow-through medication chart varies from poultry to poultry operations, ensuring to operate on a challenging successful level does not require a poultry owner to imbibe all what other poultry farms(owners) do or follow their strict routine practices. Eg. In broiler rearing/farming only two vaccines is deemed neccessary especially when one is keeping from 100birds & abv. It is expected u administer to the birds on their 7th day(1st gumboro)/14th day(1st newcastle lasota) & 21st day(2nd gumboro)/ finally 28th day(2nd newcastle lasota) Now, if you go out to document what other poultry farmers are doing to their birds; (like/ omitting the dates due for vaccination/giving them ordinary water instead of any enriched multi vitamins product before & after each vaccination to relieve them of physical cum behavioural stress that could make them too weak or non-responsive to feed/feeling sicky n inactive after vaccination/further complications or ugly synptoms are most times evidenced after any vaccination due to vaccine storage failure or dosage overdose calculations, etc.) ,from my wealth of practical research & vast experience on these business, i would assume conclusively that these business of rearing & managing poultry is too practically manipulative but technically prone-to rewards or loss! In order words, if i imbibe your exact mode of practices into my everyday poultry runnings, i might end up attaining more or failing to nudge a share of the 99.9% level of successful poultry productivity. So here is the thing, you must source & maintain a 'routine_balance' that would work for you & your poultry business. And these can only be 'self-inducively' accomplised after 1-2 or 3 trials in taking the business to its sound footing. Why do you vaccinate your birds? You vac them to boost their immunal strengths of fighting back to stay healthy or react well with any anti-biotic/anti-coccidial drugs mostly as a preventive measure or to curb menaces related to cases of life-threatening illness & complications; since the birds are hatched weak in the first place. You would have to believe they are a product of a lower n 3rd generation lineage of the PURE-LINES! Reared n kept in a hygienically controlled/biosecure farm not here but in the US & EUROPE. It is from the break-down of these generational offsprings you would get the day-old grand parent stock and/or the day-old great grand parent stock which all the hatchery farms in these country & africa ordered & import to rear as broiler/layer breeders at their own productivity; so every commercial hatchery tend to operate on maintaining these standards of recycling their stocks with these day-old GP or day-old GGP broiler breeders that are reared to lay white eggs via artificial insemination techniques, that would be hatched by their incubators to produce the (technically-lower division)day-old chicks that comes 50 or 51 per aerated carton of which you and i further rear them up to 6-7weeks to attain full body weight of 1.6kg at slaughtering stage. So What happens when these commercial hatcheries fall or shake a bit of the standards they are expected to operate; (like/ failure to cross-breed or recycle their stocks pending upon arrival of the day-old GP or GGP broiler breeder chicks of the ancestral almighty PURE-LINES./omitting other breeder vac & poor dietary control measures which affect egg hatchability and quality?). You and i get as they would still claim DAY-OLD QUALITY CHICKS packed in various branded cartons, you bring them to your poultry house only to be proned to all manners of sickness n diseases causing you economical & disheartening loss. If all should go well, your day-old chicks should attain a liveability of 99.9%. So long an analytical fact. To be contd.............

Thanks a lot.I have been given my birds Lasota every month.Hope it is not harmful.
Secondly,should Limestone grits be given to layers daily when you are using commercial feed?

Okoita,
I would advise you consult a feedmill local to you to help you on the composition or formula so as to have the necessary % required by your layers if you are unsure of what you are currently using.

oystershell and limestone grit are also commonly fed. These are a source of calcium to provide strong shells for your eggs.
