@TitilayoOkuneye Looking like sawdust. You’re right that the space is too big for them. They will be feeling so cold

Dear farmers, when is the best time to take in chickens targeted for Christmas sales?

[M Prince @Egbutathebanger]

@tmaplus Pls i really want to know more about this question.

[Pàràkòyí awọn Àpọ́n @darlingbayo]

@tmaplus I'm having same problems at the moment. After deworming them I have used Aggracox, Embazine forte at separate times. Later I used Pure Tylosin. I have also used Amoxycol and and Lasota. This morning I used the Scent leave, bitter leave, Dogoyaro leave, and some cloves. I tire.

@konibajeooo I’ve heard that these leaves work wonders. So many people usually recommend it.

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

Dear poultry farmers, What can be improved?
(Question from a beginner)

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

@BaronIkechi Very important oh. Thank you sir

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

@CE_hhenry Thank you 🙏🏼

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

@chogavee Thank you sir. I also agree that water should not be directly on the ground, that place will just be getting damp quickly and unnecessarily

Hey farmers and intending farmers, set a reminder for my upcoming Space. Would be an open discussion where everyone is welcomed to share their fears, struggles and wins in Agriculture. #framersdicuss #youthinagriculture https://t.co/IBY1udO686

@Hallelu2Omisore 👍🏼👍🏼

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

Sometimes, cheap isn’t always better. Do not compromise on the quality of your feed. The consequences are too expensive. Do you agree? #catfishfarming

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

@dhav__ @konibajeooo 😂😂 prolapse is no joke o. The bird won’t even be able to lay eggs for sometime if that happens

[TMA+ @tmaplus]

This question was dropped on one of our videos on YouTube. How does one get big market friendly sizes from layers and at what age? Poultry farmers into layers, please your advice is needed 🙏🏼

[Dr. Terese Shadrach Akpem🇳🇬 @shadrachAkpem]

Egg sizes are largely influenced by:
A. Intrinsic factors:
1. Breed
2. Health status of the bird
3. Age

B. Extrinsic factors
1. Feed
2. Nutritional supplements (multivitamins, amino acids)
3. Weather
4. Management practices

Ultimately, onsite investigations & proper history will be the best resolve to figure.
Also if a farmer induces/forces "market friendly sizes" from birds under wrong circumstances, cloacal prolapse will be the list of the problems.

@vetkonect will help connect the farmer to a Vet in the location to help out.

@shadrachAkpem The prof! Thank you for this breakdown sir. Very educative as always ��🏼
