Broiler Farming: Please Help, Its Urgent by grownaira: 8:43pm On Nov 05, 2014 |
Good evening fellows. Please my broiler chicks are five days old now. Some of them start dying yesterday by suddenly becoming weak and ltr shaking/vibrating to death. Four died yesterday, and five died today. Please what could possibly be infecting them and how can I manage the case. Thanks. |

Hmmm inav passed thru that stage and I understand you ...have you given them any medications.. probably they av bacteria infection..which could lead to loss of appetite ..and makes them very weak. Try some anti bacteria drugs first |

Give them a mixture of kenflox 20% and embazim...they will be okay. Act fast. Hope you are keeping their environment clean and not overcrowding them. |

kay29000: Thanks, will also consider ur advice. This isn't my first time, I harvest broilers every month, started 4months ago. But this is d first time am witnessing something like this. I gave them anti-coccidiasis and penprovit this morning. Will also put your input into consideration. Thanks once again. 1 Like |

grownaira: Okay. Please, may I ask, how long does it take from day old to maturity? And how do you sell them. Also, where is your location? Thanks. |
Re: Broiler Farming: Please Help, Its Urgent by grownaira: 12:17pm On Nov 06, 2014 |
kay29000: My birds usually attain maturity btw 5 to 6wks. I sell mostly to those guys that sell roasted chicken, and sometimes to restaurants/hotels, eateries. Am still operating in a small scale, I stock btw 200 to 300 every three weeks, this allows me to harvest monthly. Location is Kaduna. Thanks. |

grownaira: You mean from day old to full size (maturity?). This is my first time, that's why I am asking. I have a mentor I talk to, he has been in the business for 10 years now, he is the one that helped me with the drugs when my chicks were sick last week. I got my chicks at 2 weeks 2 weeks ago, and was just wondering how long it would take for them to be fully matured. Thanks. |
Re: Broiler Farming: Please Help, Its Urgent by kay29000(m): 12:22pm On Nov 06, 2014 |
grownaira: One more thing...How much do you get them at day old, and how much do you sell to the hotels/restaurants...? Thanks. |

kay29000: So u went into broiler farming without knowing even the maturity of the chickens? And U have a mentor who has 10 years experience? What a mentor! No wonder, the chickens are dying at 5 days old. If you want to be informed and be properly informed, visit www.johnayodele. You will be glad you did. |
