I will advise vitamins especially ones rich in Amino Acids, still ensure there is cross ventilation, avoid/remove excess heat and ammonia build up. Isolate weak ones and ensure they take water. All tge Best,sir.

Thankyou sire for the help and time. But please,i want to ask...with the sneezing,mouth opening breathing...I should give them vitamins. I hop there wont be disadvantages?

You do not vaccinate sick birds. If they are gasping for breath and sneezing now, then this case is becoming complicated. Farm Tech asked a good question on the source of the birds, some birds from a known hatchery is common with this challenge. you may also to get a vet or expereinced poultry personnel to take a physical look at your birds. Isolate the weak ones, Vitamins wont do any harm.

There are different types of layer concentrate for example, Livestock feeds have 30% layer concentrate which needs 450kg of maize, 300kg of Concentrate and 250kg of wheat offal to make a ton. They also have 40% layer concentrate which needs 400kg of concentrate and 600kg of maize to make a ton.

Well, how are they now? It's hard to tell what is wrong since I'm not there. There may be something u're not doing right or so. Check ventilation, cleaniness, smoke from land etc. Always try as hard as possible to follow vaccine/medicine plan.

There is a good one here: http://farmersjoint.com/doc-screening-lab-result.html


Thanks checked it.

I got some broilers from zartech recently and the death rate was something else. I followed the same process I did with the ones I got from chivita, but I still lost alot, they weren't eating much, wasting the food, and now at a month old they have almost no weight and are still dying. most of them that died were having difficulty walking. I am thinking Newcastle? although I gave all the vaccines as at when due. I have already written it off as a bad investment but does anyone have any ideas? I still have some left. anything to save these ones at least.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by smankerana: 5:09pm On Feb 24, 2016

it's not Zartech to blame. Thi period is a difficult period to rear birds. It is known that a lot of illness accompanies the dry season. During rainy season, the only thing u encounter is cold. I bought 600 broilers from Zartech during rainy season and they did well. Now my layers are ill amost every week cos of the weather.
