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.

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 xitter.gq/i/spaces/1DXGyvWWpoNJM

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.

- Where are the birds sourced from?
- What are the vaccination plans in place?
- Orientation of the building and general environmental care?
- Feed given to the chicks; finished feeds or formulated, brand name?
- What's the heat control rate of the pen?
- What was in the pen before you stocked it with birds?
- what's the general practice daily in the pen?

Question: “Hello guys am new in this poultry farming. this is my pen, the birds are dying massively
Just two weeks old are they doing well?
Need urgent advice from my fellow farmers”

For a first timer, the questions I will ask would be:
Do you have the facility
Manpower &
Resources?
If management is in place (managers, attendants, vets,) then it's simply would be a question of how much the person has to begin.
But if it's just someone trying out alone, I would say keep it as lean as possible (50 - 200).

3. If the birds are from a good hatchery their immune system will bounce back after a good follow up treatment.
4. I suggest he gets a good antibiotics (probably doxygen) start from there and get a professional to diagnose and treat accordingly.

Another thing the Govt can do is encourage the process nd exportation of Value-Added Products of Cassava. This in-turn will place us in the major global market.

Malnutrition nothing more, to save the rest get broiler starter and feed inadequate quantity, administer multivitamin and iron, after notice change, then you can deworm.
