How I Reduced Mortality to 2% in Broilers


*Body:*

I used to lose 50-80 birds every batch. Heartbreaking. 

Last 3 batches? I lost only 10 out of 500. That's 2% mortality.


Here's exactly what changed:


*1. Biosecurity - Day 1*

I disinfect the pen 3 days before chicks arrive. Foot dip with Izal at entrance. No visitors.

*Result*: No disease coming in.


*2. Water Management*

Clean water 2x daily. Add Vitamin + Glucose in first 5 days.

*Result*: Strong immunity, no dehydration.


*3. Heat Control*

Thermometer is a must. 33°C week 1. I check 3x daily.

*Result*: No piling, no suffocation, no cold stress.


*4. Litter Management* 

I remove wet spots every morning. Change top layer every 5 days.

*Result*: No ammonia, no coccidiosis.


*5. Early Sickness Detection*

I check birds 2x daily. Any dull bird? I separate it immediately + give antibiotic.

*Result*: Sick birds don't infect others.


*Final Note:*

2% mortality is possible. It's not luck. It's system.

3 Cheapest Feeds That Won't Kill Growth: What I Feed My Broilers in Nigeria

Image
*Intro:* Feed is 70% of your poultry cost. If you buy wrong feed, you either waste money or stunt your birds.  After 3 batches, I found 3 feeds that are cheap AND still give me 2kg+ birds in 6 weeks.  No gimmicks. Just what works for small farmers in Nigeria. *1. Vital Feeds - Broiler Starter* Vital Feeds - Broiler Starter *Why it's cheap:* Easy to find in Benin Delta and Lagos. Price is stable. *Result:* My chicks hit 700g in 3 weeks. No leg problems. *Tip:* Don't switch too early. Use for first 3 weeks exactly. *2. Topfeed - Broiler Finisher* Topfeed - Broiler Finisher *Why it's cheap:* Bigger bag, less cost per kg. Good energy for weight gain. *Result:* From week 4-6 my birds add 1.3kg with this. *Tip:* Add clean water and light 24hrs. Feed works better when birds eat at night too. *3. Hybrid Feeds - Grower Mash* Hybrid Feeds - Grower Mash *Why it's cheap:* Good alternative if Vital/Topfeed is out of stock. *Result:* Slightly slower growth but still hits target weigh...
