Eggcelent:
TheShootist. You can make 65k thereabout under the following conditions;
i. you have an 87.5% production minimum;
ii. a crate of egg goes for #620 minimum;
iii. a bag of Layers feed is not more than #2,500. @grownaira. Thanks for the observation.

greetings people in de house pls u guys should help me on Turkey vaccination I received my 50 foreign turkeys day and av given anti stress drug wen dey arrived de farm wats nxt

Eggcelent:
tabontabon. No. Pullets-sized eggs don't sell for #620/crate. I'm resident in Ondo State. Average size eggs go for between #600 & #650 here. The average being #620/#630 is what I used in the estimate since this size of eggs is what a farmer gets for significant period of the birds laying cycle. Thanks

Happy Workers Day.
However, a farmer has no public holiday.
for compounded feed
Grower will cost between N1500-N1700 depending on your location. the formulae and the source of the ingredient/materials.
Layers mash will be between N1700-N1850 .
You may wish to consider using concentrates. (less stressful but only slight reduction in price. but looking at the now of your birds N50 -N200 savings per bag goes as long way.

we started ordering feeds from a mill nearby. withthe formula we use (animal care concentrate, maize etc) the cost of grower mash is N76/Kg. i believe the layer mash would cost a little bit more.
with 3,264 birds we need to think about managing cost.

pls great farmers i want to ask, at what age did ur birds lay their first egg, cos my birds are 20weeks already bt no egg yet.

Eggcelent:
sukkotfarm. The birds have been laying for 25 weeks now. The present production is about 86.5%. The egg size is large when the birds are in good health. They are brown.

thanks man.....u r da bomb

AkayTopsy:


@Eggcelent good to know ur birds are from Zartech. Mine are from Zartech as well. Your current production level of 86.5% has rekindled my hope. My birds are from Zartech as well. Started laying @ 19wks5days and they've been laying for the past 13wks. current production level has been alternating between 75-79.5% for some weeks. what would you say about this compare to your birds performance when the were that age? what can I do to improve their performance if you think they are lagging behind?

Thanx guys @tucurj & eggcellent, let me still be hopeful.
