1b8m:sir, how can I administer vaccine to my birds. Like how can I administer 100dose gumboro to 100 birds? The quantity of water and precautions to take |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 11:32am On Nov 01, 2020 |
Skiborobo:use string inject clean water into the vial, enough water to dissolve the vaccine. Shake vigorously until it dissolves. Draw up the dissolved vaccine and inject it into a 4-litres drinker filled with water. Mix vigorously and share the mixture in 4 drinkers (1litre each). Serve the birds with it and observe to make sure they all have a drink. But before you do all this, starve the birds of water for 2hrs atleast so that they will all be thirsty when you serve them the vax. Also make sure you administer the vax at the early hours of the morning before sunrise. Be careful not to spill the vaccine in the pen. Withdraw the vaccine 30mins latest after administering 2 Likes |

Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by brain54(m): 8:08pm On Nov 01, 2020 |

So about a month ago, I ordered for 150 agrited birds. When they came in I was crazy angry because of their disheartening small size and frail look. I went to work anyways putting them in a warm conducive place and feeding them adlibitum. The pictures you are about to see is 4wks later. Average weight of 1.05kg and 4% mortality. Thank God I didn't raise the 400 birds I wanted to initially. The cost of feed is outrageous at 5k/bag 1 Like

Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 9:10am On Nov 08, 2020 |
They've consumed 9bags of chikun superstarter so far

Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 9:11am On Nov 08, 2020 |
Hoping to achieve 3kg average weight before xmas

1b8m:looking good at 4weeks...how do you intend selling at exams and what's your projected price? seems agrited do very well. never reared them before though..each time I try getting them they are scarce... |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 9:28am On Nov 08, 2020 |
Thanks bro... brain54:I will take them to the market and busy places. I intend to start selling at the first week of December and with atleast 4 selling outlets I'm of certain selling them off before newyear. The predominant price here at Christmas is 4k but with the leap in price of feed, I guess I'll sell for 4.5k....agrited gains weight rapidly due to their good food conversion ratio (fcr) |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by brain54(m): 9:42am On Nov 08, 2020 |
1b8m:were is your location? would try getting agrited birds again after selling off my present birds by December... they are 6 weeks...wana clean the pen today or tomorrow I might post pic after. |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 9:52am On Nov 08, 2020 |
I live in portharcourt brain54:ok that would be nice. What bird are you raising now and how many are they? |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by brain54(m): 9:58am On Nov 08, 2020 |
1b8m:couldn't get agrited...so got vertex...they also do well..though initially at 4weeks I was worried about their growth... but they are doing well. I have 200...plan to sell the smaller ones 5k...the bigger ones 5.5k and biggest 6k....don't know their weight though...always skips my mind to get a scale and other times I procrastinate. |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 10:29am On Nov 08, 2020 |
brain54:you should weigh, that's the best way to know if you're making progress. 200? That's amazing |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by brain54(m): 10:36am On Nov 08, 2020 |
1b8m:lol...some people get like 10000...I wanna get to that stage...but again I thank God for were I am. 1 Like |

Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by murshid09(m): 7:38pm On Nov 18, 2020 |
1b8m: Big boss I can see the first birds u rested developed faster than the second one At least u got 1.3kg at 3rd week. And 3kg at 37days. But this one highest was 1.1kg at fourth week Could u plz tell us what went wrong And secondly u said u spent 15k on drugs, charcoal and miscellaneous But to me u spent average of 10k on drug Could u plz tell us d names of d drugs and how u administer them Cos to me I used gumboro, lasota and multivitamin, blood tonic I also used glucose the first three days they bring them Thank u for ur usual honest reply And lastly when u lay ur hands on good formular |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 5:59am On Nov 19, 2020 |
murshid09:I couldn't achieve the feat I achieved in the first birds because I didn't pay much attention to them because of my tight work schedule. Hence there were cases of disease outbreak which hampered there growth. The 15k is not only for drugs. It includes cost of woodshaving, transportation etc. The drugs I used was amintotal, centre cipro, amprolium, tylodox and the vaccines |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by InfinixMine: 7:12am On Nov 19, 2020 |
1b8m: the detailed attention you gave to the first set of birds was closer than the second set... Kudos brother you are doing well � |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by Ginaz(f): 12:53pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
My birds stool are watery and whitish. Pls what can I give them for it to go back normal? 1b8m |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by 1b8m: 8:33pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
Ginaz:how old are they? Do they look weak? Hows their feeding plan? Did you change feed? |
Re: My Journey Into Poultry Business by Ginaz(f): 8:36pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
1b8m: They don't look weak, they eat well. Though some sleep while eating but apart from that they eat well. Whenever they see me coming with their food, they chase after me. Its just this watery stool that is giving me concern. They are 3months old 1 Like |
