Nice job @organicfoods have been following u from the first day u created this thread. going organic is easy but stressed despite saving huge money. from my understanding your organic project is just to conquer vaccine and durugs administered to chicks. But in the aspect of feed. i believe you've not. due to lysine,methionine and other additives in the feed which also aid their growth. Again you over fed them. a broiler chick consumes 67g per day. but after two weeks its 125g then 130g till u sale at table size.THough some people feed for 24hrs due to market. But i commend u for good works. I look forward to adopt your drug method for upscale in easter.you amazed me with that 1112g

organicfoods:
So the chicks are one month old today...Check the statistic so far.
Highest live weight = 1124g
Lowest live weight = 589g
Average live weight = 877g
Total weight of Birds = 42972g
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) = 2.3

Costs
Day Old chicks at N220 = N11,000
Transport of chicks = N800
Feeds consumed so far 4 bags. = N12840
Transport = N1200
Organic Nutrients/Antibiotics = N4000
Tagiri fermentation = N1500
Molasses (feed Fermentation) = N1000
Brooding Box = N3500
Total = N 35840

SShadow:

jfkenny:

crossblane1:
pls what's the effect of the aloe vera

katchycouture:


Believe me when I say I don't know, all I know is I have not spent 1 naira treating any form of sickness on my birds, maybe the alovera, bitterleaf and scentleaf is what has been helping, my birds are 1 month old now

shakyriri:

Pls kindly share pictures.would love to see them at one month.any idea what they weigh now?

katchycouture:


I have no idea what they weigh, wld send in pictures tomorrow, I have not been too concerned abt their weight because they are strictly for consumption, 22 birds no death..

My husband wldnt let me eat frozen foods ooo, so this is the only way I can eat chiken this Christmas and after...although I give out live chickens to extended family members too during the festive period

@Munzy14
A chicken cannot use all the nutrients in its feed. Most of the nutrients are excreted. The job of the lacto bacillus is to pre digest the feed thereby making the broilers to assimilate it easily thereby the excessive weight gain.

jfkenny:
Organic well done, please how much did u buy ur weight scale and what's the capacity..
