I was told its between 45000 - 60000

Good Morning great farmers and mentors in the house. Pls I need help, my 7 weeks broiler is just drying up and dying everyday. The only visible sign is their legs being dried and massive loss of wait. Their poo looks okey except few brown watery ones.

Please what do I need to do to arrest the situation.

Thanks.

POULTRY RULES

Do you have passion for poultry and really wish to stay long in the business? Then, obey these rules!

Rule 1
..."Only order for birds you can conveniently take care of".
This is the most important rule of all.

Instead of stocking 500 birds and then struggle to feed them or give them medication, buy 200 ,feed and give them good medication.

Trust me, you'll make more profit than keeping 500 and struggling to feed and give the medication. If this happens, you'll battle with stunted growth, recurrent morbidity or disease outbreaks and high mortality.

Rule 2
..."Never borrow money to start poultry business unless you are an expert".

Of course, there is no expert in poultry business. In fact, we learn everyday. Every stock you take in will always teach you something different. However, Haven learnt from all the different characteristics displayed by each stock, you get to know more and won't be excited when challenges come. You'll know how to handle them without much damage.

Rule 3.
..."Be vigilant".
The little things you don't take as anything matters.

If you want to succeed in poultry, you must take it as a real business. Do you know what a business man does every morning when he gets to his store? He pray, then open the store and go round to check if everything is in its place. He take stocks of what he met there and relate with his records yesterday before closing the store.

Don't just open your Penn and start rushing to give your birds feed and water and rush out again. Check around. Watch how they behave when you came in. Check what fell and what is no longer in its place

Rule 4
..."Never ignore warning signals".

Yes, I call them warning signals.
Bad smell
Withdrawal from feed
Moodiness
Withdrawal from water

There are numerous warning signals i can't mention here. In fact, they are so many

A farmer must know how his birds behaves when they see him enter in the morning. How they behave when he serve them feed. He should know the very active terrors and gentle lambs

If you keep these signals, you'll easily spot when something is not right

Rule 5
..."Never change feed indiscriminately!"

I know you do this. Yes, you.

When farmers talk about changing feed from this to this and that then this all in the name getting better result, I'm always scared for them.

Whether you are changing from a bad feed to a good one, you must be very careful.

Do you know every change in feed affect you negatively. fiyrst, before gradually bringing in the results you desire? Most of the times, you may suffer withdrawal, coccidiosis, feed wastage, stress and more.

Imagine changing from mash to Pellet indiscriminately. Do you know what that means? Have you studied the difference between mash and Pelleted feed and the process of digestion?

They may contain the same ingredients but the formulation process varies so is the digestion process.

Note:
I don't mean changing from starter to grower or finisher but changing from one commercial feed to another e.g. from top feed to hybrid then Ultima, livestock, new hope, Chikun and more; you are doing your birds more harm than good.

Each company use their own unique ingredients to make their feeds although they may give the same nutritional content. Before using any feed for yiur birds, find out first about the feed and make sure you stick with it. Don't be surprised, the cheapest feeds in the market may give you the best result.

Rule 6
..."Never let your birds run dry of water".

Have you heard of heat stress? If it has happened to your birds then you'll understand what I'm saying.
Heat stress can wipe your entire flock. And it may leave your birds vulnerable to all kinds of infection as their immune system get weakened and may take more than 14 days to fully recover.
Your birds can survive 48 hours without feed but they can't survive 7 hours without water.
Instead of running out of water, please, run out of feed.

Rule 7
..."If you can't drink that water, don't give it to your birds".

Some farmers takes chickens as they are just animals and nothing matters. Maybe they've forgotten they are dealing with delicate live animals.

Waterborne diseases are some of the deadliest disease and most difficult to control. Imagine a tiny drop of of harmful substance inside the drinking water; it'll contaminate the whole water. If it was feed, it may not be that bad.


Some farmers believe too that if a particular drug cures a disease, once the same drug is mixed with their drinking water it'll kill all the harmful bacterial inside the water. No, it doesn't work dt way.

And lastly, Rule no. 8.
You don't sleep, if you sleep, your birds sleep, most especially for broilers and if your birds sleeps, they stop, growing, get them illuminated both day and night and feed them Ad-libitum. That is the secret of 2.6kg in 35days on raising broilers

Is not about ignorance u need to ask when u don't know
We have many hatcheries with day old broilers , and this broilers are of different species like Abor acre specie, Marshall, Cob,Ross 308
But some of the major differences is that some grow taller than others while some grow tall but have larger breast meat than others .
As a new farmers all you need is good bird and good management to achieve great results

Sure that is what fast foods sell the market is very big but you must negotiate before production to have a better plan on your investment

The major problem here is that am not in your location and if u want to supply far outside your location then u must factor using ur personal transport and not public transport to save cost

Thank you Sir. I base in Ibadan

aysnoopy:


Thank you Sir. I base in Ibadan

You know ib has a very big market , just move around and negotiate
If u needed d clearance sell from hatcheries the problem is they will need big No's like 2000 birds or at least 500 broilers at once but if its fast food and frozen dealers they will only give you their request by kgs which will be easier to meet up with
