Weight at 17 days. All birds appears to be on "weight gain steroids" without any synthetic drugs. Now they are on combo cocktails of organic nutrients and antibiotics. Who is afraid of organic poultry production?

organicfoods:
There is a long way to go, because a lot of synthetic materials associated with commercial poultry management that is detrimental to human health...we will seek to replace them with effective natural herbs. From housing to feeds, drugs to vaccines, nutrients to vitamins...a lot are being used presently. The journey first is to deal with vaccines and drugs, then feeds, vitamin and nutrients. My experience so far tells me there's more to nature that can be unearth with super results that will put drugs and other synthetic enhancer to shame...luckily I have a firm foundation that can go all the way to attain success. For Africa, we must earnestly look for cheap alternative to poultry production that reduce our protein short fall and improves quality of lives. My dreams are huge, I really want to see a lot of people prosper in agriculture.

@Organicfoods: I really commend you for your contributions here on Nairaland. We really under estimate how inputs in raising or growing food affects our health and the environment. Your approach is commendable because its gone from just saying some things are bad to showing us what the better options are. Please keep up the good work believing the reward isn't just for you but for Nigeria. God bless you richly.

Its really exciting to see. Well done!

Yes this project is for the small scale farmers to grow their own broilers with cheaper alternatives that works. Several other things involved like control of liter borne diseases using microbes and water purification are been documented for the ordinary farmer to be able to do their own production successfully trust me.

Observation and documentation are the keys to successful experimentation that leads to continuous improvement, progress and improvement in human development.
Thanks, bro and keep up the good work. Please continue sharing to inspire others to do likewise.

I am very happy for you that big time investors are keen to move your project to the next level.
There should be so much opportunity to market organic food in our supermarkets and export.
It is however a pity that the law & order environment has worsened since Buhari became president with his dictatorial disposition. This could impact the capability to create, comply with and enforce commercial agreements as necessary.
Best of luck, bro.

Lol..ok. ...was wondering...be seeing #1 ...250g #2 ...246 g etc thought was daily monitoring the weight of individual chicks! ....and ok..was 51 chicks!....I thought was 50...was almost sure you had 2 deaths but kept seeing the weights of 49 chicks! That's like 95%survival rate at this stage... anyone any idea what's roughly the average survival rate at this stage?...95 seems damn high to me...Organicfoods is working..... overtime!

Weight after 18 days, having consumed 2 bags of broilers starter.
Highest weight = 609g
Lowest weight = 348g
Average weight = 486
Total live weight = 23799g
Total No of Birds = 49

Edited:
Feed Conversion Ratio = Total weight of feed consumed/Total weight of Birds
FCR = 50000g(Two bags of Broiler starter consumed)/23799g(Total live weight gained by chicken) = 2.1
FCR = 2.1
Average FCR for Broilers = 1.8 - 2.2

We are within acceptable standard so far.

Pls how do you culture lactobacillus?

670g this morning. This guy turned his face away from the camera, obviously ashamed of his own weight.

Meanwhile, one is crumbling under it's own weight. Time to add calcium phosphate supplement into their water.

Sir, but Calcium phosphate supplement is inorganic.
Or is it organic.

Keep up the good work organicfoods, I'm going inorganic for my first time. Maybe when I've gotten some experience I can start looking into this area. And thanks for recommending Turks too, lol

I want to eat
