How to save feed in layers during this hard time???
Currently we are in a time where the egg prices are going down and the feed prices for birds are going up.

Many farmers are resorting to reducing the amounts of feed given to birds to as low as 40g per mature bird per day in mature laying flocks since they feel they are spending alot on feed compared to what they gain because of the Corona situation. So they are finding a way to just maintaining the birds and willing to resume production later something that is not right .

When birds are starved to this extent ,the following will happen :

🐣They can lose as much as 30g to 50g or more per day body weight .
🐣The production will go down to almost zero.
🐣Reduced egg size
🐣The immunity will become very low making them prone to infection.
🐣Reduced feed intake even when feed is provided if it persists for long dur to disrupted digestive system.
🐣Loose stool due to imbalance between water intake and feed intake and many other problems.

What a farmer must know is that the problems caused will not go immediately once the situations get better.For example the birds will need alot of time to get back their weights between 1.6kg to 2.1kg,stabilise their body and health before restarting to lay .This will require serious supplementation and heavy feeding to bring the situation to normal.Remember weight gain is harder to achieve than weight loss in birds .

You will experience alot of small eggs ,abnormal eggs ,low productions and many other egg abnormalities plus diseases due to essential nutrients lack on bodies of the birds .

What is the farmer supposed to do ??
Improve the effectiveness of the feed given to birds by observing the following :
🐣Make sure your birds do not have parasites like worms ,mites ,fleas and coccidiosis which will reduce on the utilisation of the nutrients .
🐣Make sure there is no feed wastage at all by doing the following :
1.Make sure the serving is done with care to prevent feed spillage.

2.The feeders must be at a good height so that birds do not bend to reach the feed but allowing birds to access the space below the feeder.

3.Make sure the feed served is of good quality in terms of ingredients in that the little fed has what the birds need.

4.Make sure the mixing is done perfectly well to have a balanced portion .

5.Have enough equipments in terms of feeders and drinkers to avoid imbalanced feed intake in terms of quality and quantity.

Improve the shelf life of the eggs by doing the following :
🐣Reduce the time eggs spend in the delaying nests by timely collection.
🐣 Right placement of the egg on the tray where the broader part with the air space must be up and the narrow part down .
🐣Do not allow your eggs to get in touch with any moisture eg do not clean eggs with wet cloth and do not wash them .
🐣Separate damaged eggs from the rest .
🐣Keep in a well ventilated store and keep trays off the ground by use of spaced pallets .

With those you can be able to keep your eggs for a longer time as you weight the for the situation to get better but also monitor the prices closely so that you offload some of the eggs in order to sustain the feeding of the birds but always start with the eggs that entered the store first .

In case you have run out of options and the only option is to reduce the feed intake .the following must be followed .

🐣The reduction must be gradual not abrupt to avoid stress which might lower immunity affecting production and predisposing birds to infections.
🐣Do not go below 90g to 100g per bird per day but of quality feed .

🐣Balance the water:feed intake ratio to make sure birds drink twice as much water they take in millilitres compared to feed taken in grams.
Eg 100g of feed vs 200mls of water to avoid lose stool which comes with alot of minerals and other nutrients .
🐣Weigh your birds weekly to monitor the extent of damage to adjust accordingly.
🐣Avoid giving any mouldy feed since it will cause serious problems due to aflatoxins.
🐣Avoid change of feeding routine eg serving feed once from the normal two times .Maintain the routine just with reduced amounts .

Achieving higher % of production comes with good management of pullets(Growing) birds from day 1

Pullets development is best monitored through pullets body weight. Body weight monitoring is the most important management tool in rearing today,s modern, very efficient layers. Unfortunately 95% of egg producers don't keep track of their flocks body weight development. Once the laying cycle begins it,s too late to solve pullets growing problems arising from poor rearing condition and poor nutrition. I recommend that you monitor the pullets body weight weekly. The future laying pattern of the pullets is dependent on the body weight. Smaller bird=Smaller egg. Larger bird=Larger eggs. So also Big birds=Big appetite=Big Eggs. Keeping track of weekly body helps you know when farm managers are under feeding your birds.

Limited Feeders and drinkers cause competition for resources hence stunted growth and non uniformity.
Ensure five drinkers and five feeders for every 100 birds

Are u a pig Farmer??
Are u interested in reaping big from pig enterprise??
Here are important tips for u

Did u know that;
Breed, Health, Housing, and feeding all together determines the profitability

With 70% of the cost going to feeding

Increasing the weight of a pig requires giving it the right food. Feed your pig food that is low in fiber. Since fiber takes more energy to digest, the pig will end up expending more calories when eating fiber than it would when eating a less fibrous food. In other words, a high-fiber diet will reduce the amount of calories that the pig absorbs and turns into fat.

Hello poultry farmers

Did u know that u won't see an egg till the bird attain a minimum of 1.4-1.5kg live weight.
This explains why some farmers see the first egg as early as 4month and others go as late as 6month. The discrepancy in weight gain within the flock or for different flock largely depends on the following.

1.Health of the flock

2.Quality of the feeds and water

3.Quantity of feeds per bird per day(this go on increasing as the bird grow)

4.Ratio of feeders n drinkers to birds(1feeder/25birds)

5.Spacing (7/1square metre).

On that note there4 farmers monitor the weight by use of digital scale. This involves sampling 30% of the flock and divergence from the recommended weight is sorted by looking at the above factors.

Over crowding of birds results in competition for resources hence poor performance.
Layers should be spaced 40chicks/1M squared went in brooder. And 6birds / 1msquared after brooding.
