Turks:Good one. So detailed. |
Re: ... by aminuelyakub(m): 6:32am On Mar 11, 2018 |
Good day farmers, In my quest to find solutions to the heat stress killing my broilers, I came across these remedies detailed below: 1. Provition of cool clean water 2. Provition of Vitamin C 3. Provition of Electrolytes 4. Withdrawal of feed at the hottest hours of the day to be compensated by feeding at cooler hours 5. Reduction of stocking density What Im skeptical about are points 3 and 4, thus my qos: -Please are they true? -If applicable, is it safe for me to administer Vit C and Electrolytes to my 12 days old broilers on which Im currently treating Cocci with ceyene pepper? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 2:14pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
aminuelyakub: Provision of clean water and electrolytes (multivitamin) is easily feasible. Stocking density should be max of 3 square feet per broiler. for example 150 square feet (10*15 ft or 20*7.5 ft) should not contain more than 50 broilers. |

EMMAACHILE: Thanks much sir, what can you say about point 4 please? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 10:46pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
aminuelyakub:I don't do that. |
Re: ... by aminuelyakub(m): 5:33am On Mar 12, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE: Thank you sir |
Re: ... by shakyriri: 9:41pm On Mar 12, 2018 |
aminuelyakub:Point 4 is very necessary. They expend so much energy to eat and noon and don't convert it well,too stressful. Try feeding at cooler hours and u will achieve fantastic fcr |
Re: ... by aminuelyakub(m): 5:59am On Mar 13, 2018 |
shakyriri: True, their growth has really slowed down. Today is their 14th day, I will update their weight later. Thank you. |
Re: ... by kennysbst(m): 4:20pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
waw it good to be inform.I never knew d reason for my birds reluctant to feeding was due to heat but they drink more of water. I was so worried until I read it online....now my birds are healthy after I exposed them to fresh air though dey sleep a lot in day light but they feed more in cooler time. can I still administer vitaminC for me in order to boost der feeding and growth |
Re: ... by shakyriri: 4:56pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
kennysbst:Vitc is ok. No harm but u said they healthy n doing good.just give fresh water and feed at cool hours.u gud this way |
Re: ... by aminuelyakub(m): 7:53pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
My 100 zartech broilers at day 14: Mortality: 4 Highest weight: 470g Gen. Average weight: 350g Lowest weight: 220g I attribute the low gain against last weeks weight of 150g on heat stress, coccidia and slight CRD which Im treating. Your comments/observations/advice are highly needed please.

Thanks a lot, I have really gained a lot, my birds will be arriving on Friday, I'm not new in poultry I only took a break, I look forward to getting help from all the gurus in the house especially as regards organic poultry really happy to be here |
Re: ... by interceptor84(m): 5:34pm On Mar 15, 2018 |
@ Oga Emma. I remember you mentioned the Koudjis concentrate being superior to our local feeds. Do you think one can raise these birds on feeds made from this concentrate and still make a profit? I mean from day 1 to the point of sale. Regards. |
Re: ... by Nobody: 10:33am On Mar 16, 2018 |
interceptor84:Its cheaper than the commercial feed though depends in the cost of maize and soyabean cake in your vicinity. 1 Like |
Re: ... by interceptor84(m): 5:14pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
Wow, That sounds quiet promising. Thanks a lot for this information. I will do more research on the price of maize and soyabean cake. Do you mean the normal soyaben cake of the full fat soya type? EMMAACHILE: |
Re: ... by Nobody: 3:00pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
interceptor84:Any but full fat soyabean must be fried if it is to used. |
Re: ... by interceptor84(m): 4:59pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
Alright, thanks for the information my brother. I will do my research from this side. EMMAACHILE: |
Re: ... by Ogunleti01: 5:35pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
aminuelyakub:well we all know that broilers generate body heat through feed conversion. if the atmospheric temperature is high added to their own body temperature we all know the consequence |

Re: ... by blessingfarm: 9:25pm On Mar 18, 2018 |
Well done my good people. Pls what causes ascites (water in the belly) in broiler and what sickness are they suffering from if their liver is greenish in colour? Thank you. |
Re: ... by sammorad(m): 11:34pm On Mar 18, 2018 |
blessingfarm: Your observations shows dt u av opened a bird, I advice that you allow a vet doc to see and conduct proper PM for you. |
Re: ... by Nobody: 2:25am On Mar 19, 2018 |
blessingfarm:These underlying causes must be known to look for how to control the condition. There is no known cure for it. 1. What are the treatments administered from day old? 2. Do you have temperature extremes in the coop? 3. How is your water consumption? Do you change the pattern of recent? 4. Do you formulate your feed or use different feed types or change ration type arbitrary? 5. How are the birds growing (fast, slow, normal) Etc. |
Re: ... by blessingfarm: 6:36am On Mar 19, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE:Thank you Oga Emmachile for the fast response. 1. I used EST for brooding. 2. On the 13th Day when I notice cough, I gave Tylodox for the cough and gave kepcox for coccidiosis. Then I gave sulpmix at 28days after I noticed the green patches on their liver and enlarged liver and spleen and greenish stooling. But the keep on dying in two and one every other day even after the sulphmix. I give multivitamin weekly. 3. Temperature is somehow ok expect some few days when the heat is extreme. Their water intake is between 210 - 250 litres daily. 4. No I don't formulate my feed, I used Chikun Super Starter and Animal Care Finisher. 5. The birds will be six weeks tomorrow, I can't say how their growth rate is but it they are between 2.4kg to 1.9kg. From the 28 days to now I have lost about 14 of them. Some of them have water in their belly and most have enlarged liver. I intend giving them admacine today. Thank you again. |
Re: ... by Nobody: 8:05am On Mar 19, 2018 |
@blessingfarm Best solution is administer admacine or gumbocine or viralmix, etc. Stop all drugs for now. Make sure you follow the right dosage. Hope you are not interchanging the feeds ie give starter, then finisher, then starter, you understand? |
Re: ... by blessingfarm: 8:54am On Mar 19, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE: No Sir, am not interchanging the feed. I started finisher when they were 3 weeks and 3 days and I have been on it. Animal care. Thank you for your advice, I have started admacine this morning. God bless you Sir. |
Re: ... by JewelRegi(f): 5:23pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE: Good day,pls which feed is best for layers(like grower mash or super starter) and how long(how many weeks)? |
Re: ... by Nobody: 5:26pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
JewelRegi:What's the age? |
Re: ... by JewelRegi(f): 7:25pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
Re: ... by Nobody: 9:36pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
JewelRegi:Mash = 0-8 weeks Grower= 8-16 weeks Layer= 16 weeks above or when the layers are laying up to 30% of the population. 1 Like |
