Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by twoMcfemad: 8:18pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
@fishleg123, are your birds on grower\layer mash? What quantity are they eating? Any lighting program at night? Have you deworm\delouse them? Whats their water intake & vaccination program? Your answers to these questions will help solve your challenge,IMO |

No lighting program is being use, they leave on natural light. there is enough water for them to drink. today makes it the 7th day that they have been laying and yet, we have 4 eggs maximum yesterday . Experienced Farmers in d house, IS EVERYTHING GOING ON WELL. |

fishleg123: No cause for alarm bro. Some birds don't even start laying till the 24thweek. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Nobody: 8:45am On Mar 08, 2015 |
fishleg123:just relax, it is natural that they lay. I think u shld change to layers mash since they are 20weeks already. I had similar prob(I wqs getjng 3 eggs frm 249birds at 20weeks),I changed to layers mash as advised by experts, now they re 24weeks and I got 45yesterday. |

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Nobody: 1:31pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
@kevin, plz share your result on gnld supergrow for poultry. did u notice any improvement on the test broilers? @house, i heard from.unconfirmed sources that garlic helps in feed conversion to weight in broilers. has anyone tried it? |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Nobody: 4:28pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
fnk: Bro, with the basic knowledge of genetics, birds gotten from mating cockerels and layers, will as dia parents, only attain an average of 2kg weight between 4to6 months. I believe your business model doesn't give room for such amount of time. The broiler birds we raise today are gotten from parents stock whose growth anatomy has bn genetically engineered and modified to produce birds that grows very much faster than any other breed of birds. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Nobody: 4:34pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
mercylicious: Dia is yet no proven evidence that administering garlic to broilers helps in feed conversion to weight. However, administering garlic to broilers (or other breed of birds) has bn proven do boost the immune system of the birds. Study has shown that birds that consume garlic from day old are at much more lesser risk in contacting coccidiacis and CRD. 1 Like |

Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by davidzfarm18(m): 6:15pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
fishleg123:I will not advice you to change their feed yet to layers mash. Pls ensure you have you have note than 5% laying. One of the reason for what you are experiencing is uniformity in growth. another reason is the season the birds come into lay. this period if you are in the north. the peak afternoon temperature will not allow the birds to consume enough food. you will need to do extensive study on lightening schedule for laying birds. for now, give them enough vitamins and feed them early in the morning by 5:30am. this will assist them to eat in the cooler part of the day 2 Likes |

Give your birds feed grade vitamin C. Inclusion rate in this hot weather is abt 300 to 400g per ton of feed. It will give you a good result. jamp: |
