Good day great farmers,

Please I want to know if it's possible for DOCs to have NCD or Mareks disease. I got 300 bx on the 4th of this month, so far we have lost over 170. I am suspecting NCD but the vet Dr we invited said it's Mareks disease.

Yes NCD Possible thats why its advicable to give Lasota at day 8,

Also Brooding (Heating) might be another factor, mayb the heat was not enough, Pls Which Antibiotics did you use during the Brooding stage.

When they are due for Lasota, Deworm only 1day, Then Give Lasota Next 2days, After Lasota Give Egg boost (oc boost or Neo Oxy Egg Fumular)for 5days the following day after Lasota. You will See Result in 2weeks time

No 200 Dose, 500D is the lowest,

My Advice, close ur eyes and buy the 500D its around #8000

Egg Drop Syndrome is not a nice stuff @all

This vacine is important Because anytime your production crashes, it can easily come up back but without this vacine it hardly/never comes back, so just close eye buy the vaccine.

Good Luck

Questions to answer:
Do u want to use deep litter or battery cage.
What is the size of land you want to use?
Is your production staggered or in batches?
Do you have any business plan?
What is the range of your capital?
And so on and so forth.

First of All Broilers dont eat Grower feed,
Starter Feed Day old - 4weeks
Finisher Feed - 4weeks till you sell them

Reducing The Feed will Affect their weight gain, So my advice, switch to Finisher feed to get the required live weight and also give them vitamins for 3-4days so that the will not be stressed during the feed changing progress

Recommended diet on broiler chicks based on this research below
Starter 0-7 days
Grower 7-42 days
Finisher 43-56 days
This according to research produced a healthier and bigger weight broiler than those fed on starter to finisher diet.
Summary of research for those who may be too lazy to read through.

The optimum duration for feeding starter diet to birds grown to a target weight of approximately 3.3 kg appears to be no more than 7 days.

Inclusion of the finisher diet earlier than 42 days resulted in a reduction in body weight, a deterioration in feed conversion and calorie utilization, an
increase in abdominal fat, and a reduction in breast meat yield.
Given typical cost differences among starter, grower, and finisher diets, the economic impact of changing diets at earlier ages may be considerable.
