Hello Hivers,
Why do some poultry bird farmers do not like reading a bird from day? While some of them prefer to start reading from their 4th week when they are probably a months. This is the reason I think its attach to why some poultry birds farmers like to skip their early stage till they reach 4weeks.
That's why you will see some farmers bringing in about 500birds and by time they reach 4weeks old, the mortality rate might be the half of the initial that were brought in. So that is why farmers prefer to rear birds that have pass their risk stages.
I have a friend of mine who went into rearing of birds, and he wanted to do this poultry business in a big way. In the long run, by the time his birds reach 4weeks, they have been reduced from 400birds down to 280, he was so frustrated that everyday he will record mortality rate.
What are ways that can be used to curb these challenges.
- Be experienced.One of the major reason why some farmers are victims of this issue is that they lack experience. Rearing birds is not just what you can start just like that, you need to make some findings about to rear these birds. The funniest thing is that some farmers don't know that vaccines are to be administered to birds in an accurate time. So experience is one of the key.
2.Make some critical findings about about the hatchery you making your ordering from. Make sure you know how their birds survive, the ruggedity if the hatchery can be trusted. Because different hatchery with their species of broiler birds.
3.Another thing is, before the arrival of your birds make sure you must have made or prepared a hygienic environment for them in terms of accommodation.
4.Also make sure you administer their vaccines in your scheduled time for them
5.Always check on them time to time to observe their development. Also, during your concurrent checking on, through that you can easily detect if any bird has been caught with disease which you can easily detect and seperate the affect birds in order avoid the transmission of the disease.
6.And finally,always consult your vet.doctors
