I disagree. Perhaps you got not so good birds. Zartech birds are prolific.

FlintGuevara:

I hope this isn't coming too late. Run away from Zartech birds. I'm yet to get over my experience with their birds. The birds grow fast, but risk of disease from the hatchery is sky high. You can try Agrited, Cascada or even Chikun (they also stock Cobb 500 strain like Zartech). Poor quality birds aside, Zartech has the nastiest customer complaint system. They only came down from their high horse the day I sent them a letter with my law firm letterhead.

Breathing heavily or panting?

shehufaruq:
My birds which will be 5wks on Friday are breathing heavily so I am administering Maxycerl plus Virusine starting yesterday.

Please advice from the gurus in the house is welcome

No it cannot.

presiade:


Please can Newcastle disease be effectively eliminated from an infected lot? I need urgent response... Some birds have died and the rest have been placed on Floxinor.... A vet. doctor is working on them, but I need to be sure all the birds won't be lost...

Panting doesn’t necessarily equate to CRD.

ezkimow:


If you have Tylosin or Tylodox give to them for 3-5 days, follow dosage. Next time try using rice bran instead of saw dust, saw dust almost always causes respiratory issues...

Could be a lot of things. From NCD to IBD. How old are the birds?

How do I treat this
Signs are ruffled feathers pale combs and partial paralysis

Afternoon Great Farmers in here... pls i need ur help...

my broiler are 2 month's n 3 weeks now
and it all started 3weeks ago with their watery poo then later red poo in which the vet i contact came and gave them Centre Dicox + vigorlite for 2 day's and it all stopped....
but 2 day's later i start losing some of them, then i notice some changes in the poo, feather's, weight, and movement...

They are not feeding fine and they remain stagnant, their feathers is roughly and their wings dropping, as if they are feeling cold.

then their poo is smelling different,

last week the vet came and gave them L.A injection (Oxyvet 20%) and their poo changed and it's kind of white watery poo, white + green poo, chocolate poo, and dark red poo.... when i told the vet he said it's the L.A injection working and that they are pass out all the infection out...

but since then there has not been any improvement, and i keep losing 2 - 4 birds everyday...

I quite agree with you on their poor customer service... Especially their manager in charge of day-old chick production. However, I must say that the quality of their birds is quite good

All the time sir, and the sicked ones, I've isolate them..

pheonixdld2:

Thats the general price level in most places...
They buy at this price range and sell at btwn 1500 -1700.....
At least we all go to market to purchase broilers for normal consumption.....
Selling per kilo is the only profitable way ...
Or learn to cut cost of feed by at least 30% to be profitable at those prices.....
Thats my next research ....if big poultry farms can supply at just a little above N1000
Definitely...there is a way out

Bentila:

My assertion that their birds are bad is predicated on the high mortality within a period of 5 days of getting their day old chicks and these mortalities were preceded by symptoms of coccidiosis. Pray tell, does a quality hatchery churn out birds with coccidiosis? Their birds grow fine, but the conditions under which their birds are hatched *MAY* not be the best in town. I got a carton of Cascada broilers from Turks and didn't lose a single bird while they were day olds.

hello great farmers in the house, am a beginner in the broiler business, please can broilers be given antibiotics like AMPICILLIN and FLAGYL? .Tho there's nothing wrong with them at the moment just for prevention...please I need a response

Normally you should administer antibiotics, coccidiosis vaccine and multivits, at regular interval from DOC to 41 days before you have peace of mind... Well, I commented based on my experience, my stock mortality rate was less than 1% before I left it in the care of who mismanaged.

Turks:
These things happen.

When people book with us, there are times we foot the transportation bills just to keep the customers happy.

Business is about profits and losses. You win some, you lose some. Our utmost priority is our clientele base. We hate to see them dissatisfied.

Good evening sir, I need your contact urgently. Please! Thank you.

Good evening guys, please, anybody with Turks contact should help me with it. Thanks in advance.

I suffered that coxx issue too,it was so serious that it affected their growth in the long run and led to secondary infections.
I noticed that the color of their droppings from day old were not same as previous birds I've raised despite using the same feed. but I Don finally sell them yesterday. Made no gain, and lost 8 out of 84.
At 5weeks 5days the total weight of 76 birds after dressing was 72kg

Same thing happened with the batch I got. They were already dropping red and ochre coloured poop by the time they arrived my place.
Sorry for your loss. Mine grew well, but the loss suffered within 5 days of getting the birds negatived any profit I made from the sales.

I did administer antibiotics and anti coccidiosis when I got them. I also resumed administration of antibiotics and anti cocci after gumboro, but those didn't stop the malaise.

Thanks. It's all part of experience.... At least now I know better.

I guess something went wrong somewhere... MAYBE your vaccine was not administered properly. Of course I'm not defending them, but just saying I didn't experience such and people around also speak well of their chicks. Different experiences for different people...
