I ordered for 50 noilers online from www.poultryplaza.com and received my order the third day after the order. It was due to my booking late on Wednesday 26th.
Everything was smooth. Total cost for 50 noilers including transportation to Lokoja cost N4,400 and N65 for access bank gateway charge for using the atm platform.
Grandtotal=N4,465.00
Though the cost of noilers rose sharply on friday to N120.00
Attached are some pictures of the poultry house.
I will be summarizing the cost so far outside the housing and hope to see the performance of noilers over the next five months.
Modified Vaccination schedule for Noilers!
Day 1-5: Multivitamin + Anti-biotic
Day 6-8: Anticocci (but no multivitamin)
Day: 10: Lasota + Milk
Day 17: Gumboro
Day 28: lasota
Day 34-36: Anticocci
Day 37: fowl pox
Day 38: deworm
Anticocci and Antibiotic to be repeated every 2 weeks if necessary.
Before arrival i purchase the following drugs and feeds
a. Keproceryl (Antibiotic) =N1,100.00
b. Prococ (Anti-Coccidiosis) =N1,100.00
c. Powervit (Multivitamin) =N960.00
d. Vitalfeed Broiler Starter = N3650.00
Day 1 and 2: I have applied Keproceryl (Antibiotic) and Powervit (Multivitamin) at the rates of 2ml of each to 2 litres of water
This will enable the chicks to overcome the stress of transportation and change of environment
The poultry house dimension is about 25 feet by 6 feet and was demarcated into two places.
Temperature of the room average about 35 degrees and the lantern there are just three. The chicks sleep in between them.
The space is relatively large but since the chicks are very active, I left it. The papers were put on a rice husk but I will be removing them today. The chicks prefer to stay directly on the rice husk and will scatter off the papers whenever they have access to the rice husk.
I will upload some videos later on this.
I notice the chicks are taking too much water and sleep a lot especially during the evenings.
The brooding room was designed for 100 chicks but since the temperature of the room is still within the 35 degree temperature, I left it that way. I will get another room thermometer to be sure.
I have changed the feeders to trays this morning and these chicks could be stubborn. Scattering the feed by their legs and still scavenging for that elusive meal.
What I did with when I raised my broilers two years ago was that I expose them to sun during the day by raising the sack covering the house.
I see these young chicks sunbathing in the sun. It's the same with this noilers.
Day 4 and 5: powervit (1ml) and keproceryl (1ml) administered in 750ml of water
Late in the afternoon, I will change to ordinary water when this drug mix would have finished.
I observe the 51 noilers consume about 1500ml or 1.5 litres of water in 24 hours. Its incredible. So i just mix the drugs for half (750ml) of water which will be consumed and finished by evening and then give them ordinary water which will take them to the next day.
Their feeding is high like broilers as they eat overnight if there is electricity light or even lantern light. I normally power off my generator by 11pm to sleep as Lokoja does not have power supply overnight since June this year. Its so annoying.
Lokoja gets an average of 4 hours (10-2pm) in the day and 4 hours (6-10pm) in the evening. Some days just 4 hours and other days none at all. On another note, I will be getting a 10kva dual carburetor to cushion the high cost of petrol used in powering my generator. It consumes about 5.5 litres of petrol in about 4 hours.
Below are pictures of the measuring spoon.
Studies show pawpaw, bitter leaf and neem tree can be used to treat coccidiosis in poultry but not as effective as the chicks treated with anti coccidiosis drug like anticox.
Summary is below
Effect of Leaves Extract of Carica papaya (pawpaw) , Vernonia amigdalina (bitter leave) and Azadiratcha indica (neem tree or dogoyaro) on the Coccidiosis in Free-range Chickens
Parasitological Results
The survivabilities of V. amigdalina (64%), C. papaya (72%) and A. indica (61%) treated chicks were statistically similar; but significantly lower than the coccidiostatic group survivability (84%) and higher than survivability of the control group (59%). The post-mortem of dead birds revealed hemorrhages or thickening whitish mucosa and cores of clotted blood in the caeca which specific for Eimeria tenella infection. The number of bloody diarrhea and the lesion score followed almost the same trend.
