It is a pity. From all the poster wrote, I can deduce the following; self medication (giving sick bird energy drink), source of information ( a poultry farmer) and seems the feeding was inadequate. There is only one solution to this type of heartache: consult a vet doctor well experienced in poultry before even buying your chicks. Poultry on a commercial scale is technical. That way you can reap what you sow in poultry. For any person interested in the business email begunatoye@yahoo.com |

kennypoka2: people whose poultry smell are those that allow the litter get wet and do not have enough ventilation(common with 'short' buildings). Also those that don't have proper drainage will smell. If you build you poultry, make sure you have a concrete floor round the building. Like this, you can easily wash the surrounding into a soak away pit, instead of pouring littered water on bare earth. |

Did u vaccinate them? Was the pen cool and well ventilated? Did u practiced strict biosecurity measures? Eg, do u dip ur feet in disinfectant b4 entering the pen? Since u have local fowls around, they're usually carriers of various diseases that can infect ur broilers. Did u treat for coccidiosis? Did u use the right drugs during treatment? Lab test is needed for this. There are a lot of questions to ask since I was not there. |

prosperng:even poultry bisness experts even share the same fate, my dad is a trained agricultrist and has been in the bisness for years but still he lost over 200 birds last year and over a 100 this year , not because they were ill o, they just beat themselves. |

From experience I notice your family was not prepare for the poultry business. Poultry is not a business you join just because others are making it. You ought to have carried out your feasibility studies and have enough knowledge of poultry management. Actually, a day tutorial like you mentioned is not enough. I also notice your environment is not condusive for the birds. Imagine where there is no good fence that dogs or thieves can steal 7 in hours. Your understanding of the birds is very low! permit me to say that please! Birds dont just die. They have reasons & often notify you but you may not notice or you have wrong diagnose, simpatise with them, give wrong doses (like Dad gave your chicken lucaozade). WHY NOT ENERGY DRINKS OR OGOGORO INSTEAD? Another problem I notice with your 'business' is that YOU MOVE FASTER THAN YOUR LEVEL. For God sake, how would you start a backyard poultry with 170 birds? You could have testran with just a dozen or at most 50. Your losses wouldnt have been this collossal. Again I know it is still the lack of knowledge that made you KEEP BROILERS FOR 5 MONTHS! Too long enough to raise 3 batches. Their slow growth, sickness and high mortality rate are all due to improper handling due to no knowledge. Dear sorry for the losses! I am a farmer who realy undersatand your feelings. But PLEASE, YOU CAN DO IT. LEARN FROM THIS EXPERIENCE AND MOVE AHEAD. "He's not a man he that neva fell but he that fell & rise again". If you realy want to make money from poutry take the following steps: 1. dedicate your time for its rudimentry knowledge. 2. experiment only with a few & grow gradually. 3. be sure of your market (buyers) before going into production. 4. be determined and prepare for the risks involved. 5. best of luck. LEST I FORGET, PLEASE PRAY, CAMPAIGN AND VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2015! SAI BUHARI! 2 Likes |

NaijaSingleGirl is simply hilarious. Most original blog content I have read in years. When it comes to animals, people rarely consult professionals till they get into deep poo. In poultry especially in 9ja, even experienced farmers sometimes have problems, the biz is that technical and vulnerable but the returns are very good. A lot of correct points have been raised. For Veterinary medical services, u can call 07030054811 or pm this handle. If you fit help me find work sef, I no mind ooo. Ese oo |
