#Broilerfarming #agriculture
Day 0
Vaccination (Marek's Disease).
Usually done for you if you buy chickens from a supplier.

Day 1
Antibiotics (e.g. Tetroxy, Bilosin, Bimotrin, Spectogard). It is also recommended to give glucose and or stress pack
Day 2 - 5
Give a Multivitamin supplement or Poultry Tonic
(If your chicks are still looking weak, you can give them antibiotics instead)
Day 6 to 9
Vitamins and Microelemets
(Vitamin E is highly recommended)
Day 10 or 11 - VACCINATION
Infectious Bursal Disease - IBD (Gumboro) + Newcastle Disease (ND)
You can easily combine these two without issues

(depending on your area, some areas have a higher disease virulence others, lower. Vaccinate earlier if your area has higher virulence)
Day 12 - 13
StressPac or glucose supplement or pure water

Vaccines tend to stress chickens, so this is important for them.
Day 14 - VACCINATION
Infectious Bronchitis (IB)
Recommended vaccine is 'IB 4/91'
Day 15 - 16
StressPac or glucose supplement or pure water or Vitamins
Day 17 - VACCINATION
Gumboro only!

Day 18
StressPac or glucose supplement or pure water or Vitamins

Day 19 - 28
Booster or probiotics or growth promoters

Day 29 - Depletion
Pure water 💦
If your chickens are suffering from respiratory problems at 3 weeks, you can give Vitamins and or antibiotics, but STOP giving antibiotics at least 10 days before market.
NB -
1. Vaccines come in different doses (500, 1000, 2000, 5000 etc). Buy only as much as you need. Once opened, vaccines cannot be reused.
2. Images are merely for a graphical presentation. I am not promoting any products here. The product you choose to buy is on you!

Being in Russia and seeing that many people are ignorant about the #RussiaUkraineConflict, I thought I should share this..,
#NATO

A thread...
In 2010, Ukraine elected Viktor Yakunovych elected as president. The West (US & EU) were not happy with these events as they saw the new president as too aligned to Russia.
Before Yakunovych's election, Ukraine had a free trade deal in the pipeline with the EU. But in 2013, Yakunovych did a 180° and refused to sign the deal, favouring closer ties with Russia.

How To Achieve Excellent Broiler Weight
A thread...
#Poultryfarming #farming
#SmallBusiness

Every broiler farmer wants to achieve very good weights, with low mortality and raise birds in the shortest period possible. This helps them to get a better return on investment (ROI).
1. Brooder Temp Mangment;

Chicks do not thermoregulate.
The first 5 days are very critical. You must preheat the house for 24 hrs before receiving new chicks. Temp should be 31c - 33c at chick level.
If you do not have a thermter, hold up the chicks feet to your cheeks to measure the temp. If you do this right, effects will be - high weight gain, lower FCR (Feed conversation ratio), lower cull rate, lower mortality and reduced bird growing costs.
