Eggcelent:
Limamimi. Are you saying getting the funds to buy feeds for your birds is proving difficult?

Thanks Eggcelent. Not really but getting the feed that's rich is a problem.

Thanks Eggcelent. Not really but getting the feed that's rich is a problem.

It's my hubby that goes to abattoir and gets all that he needs like pkc, sorghum, maize and some other stuff's and yet 50kg cannot last more than 2 - 3 week's.

Am a salary earner and I only get my pay at the end of the month and I also don't earn much in salary so it's sometimes difficult for me to feed them.

Compliment of the season neo, please I want to know the amount of bird 10ft by 6ft by 2ft cage can take ( the cage is in form of cuboid)

Broiler Starter

Maize 580kg

Soy Meal 290kg

Full fat 30kg

Fish Meal 10kg

Wheat Offal 25kg

lime stone 27kg

Bone meal 25kg

Methionine 2kg

lysin 2kg

premix 2.5kg

Salt 2.5kg

Toxin binder 1kg


thanks

Thank you and God bless. Please if i need to derive a finisher diet from the formula given, which ingredients should i vary?

Limamini. Ok. Understood now. I'll suggest you persevere a little more. All things being equal, your birds will start producing enough eggs to meet expenses on their feeds with a little profit beside. Success.

Thanks Eggcelent I feel better with your reply cos I was almost giving up on poultry farming which has always been my favorite. With you and others beside me I know I will get to my target in poultry farming. Once again thanks for the encouragement.

Limamimi. My pleasure, ma.

Merry christmas my fellow poultry farmers. May the joy of christmas bring to us huge harvest and profit next.

Friends, Merry Xmas

Wish everyone in the house a joyous Xmas and a wonderful 2016. Long life and prosperity.

It's been awesome following this thread all along, thanks guys for the priceless info I've gotten here... I actually did an experiment on broilers and it was an eye opener although not profitable... I wasn't expecting it to be though cos I lost over 50% of them and then sold the remaining one this Xmas period.... So the next thing I intend doing is going into egg production so I'd be hoping to continue to get more info from this thread as time goes on... My first need that I have right now is the list of vaccines and date I'd need to administer to my layers from DOC to pol... I intend stocking 540 birds... Thanks in anticipation

Merry Xmas @ all .

please palls can you help me out on how my layer birds can be producing large eggs like that of farms in Jos and Ilorin

. They are in there 23 weeks now boss

I found out that my layers have blood at their vein. One pecking at it herself making it to cause a big wound and blood flowing out. Anybody with this experience previously can help with solution and causes thanks

Which of the layers feed is the best for layers top feed or hybrid I want my egg to be bigger

@eggcelent, compliments of the season. My production is now 81-84%. Is that a good figure? And secondly, is it necessary I de-beak pullets since I intend to cage them.

P.S - I have 160 pullets.

please send me the document too on araromiadeleke007@gmail.com

@fnk, pls kindly send me d doc too, really appreciate ur contributions. thanks

this is prolapse. It happens mainly when birds come into lay so early without full maturity(low body weight). That is why it is not good to force birds to lay early .What you saw is the rupturing of the oviduct which causes other birds to peck on it. Just isolate the particular bird.also check the quality of the debeaking

To me topfeed is still the best but its expensive. I have used it before but presently am using animal care.the business is all about profit. For example topfeed grower cost about 2100 while animal care cost 1800.

like they say good food na money kill am

viktor556. 84% is a decent production rate. However, it should increase in the coming days as production peaks. I'm happy for you. Meanwhile, it is important you avoid anything that can stress your birds at this time e.g beak-trimming. Success.

Oga jamp. How is your end? It has been a while. AnimalCare is really doing you guys good there. The Growfast is a little over 2k here. Merry Christmas Bro
