Is it just me; or is the current cold weather reducing egg production. Have got like 20% drop. trying vitamins..

20% is huge!is it abrupt or slow happening over a duration of months?If sudden check ur feeds if possible change.Have had an experience where my miller for two weeks didnt have maize so they substitute it with rice husks and sel me the feeds.My production was so low I made inrtant losses for two weeks.I reported to them and without apology they said they dint have maize.Any tyme my production go down I change feeds immediately and there has always been an improvement!

... true, i suspect the feed quality coz when maize was reduced in the feeds i use that's when the eggs dropped. I have already changed feed as adviced, giving some egg booster and also increased lightining hours and I can see improvement for the last two days. Keeping fingers closed.
thanks all.

wholesalers: those who sell to shops, hotels..ksh240
Retailers: shops, hotels, supermarkets..ksh250

Kigumo konstituency some 50 km from Thika town.Today I pulled a 237 per tray.240 is close to good enough i thnk.The best way I think is to go for the market without brokers.

Try City market or that kuku market opposite City stadium. The prices are a bit low since many people are selling due to high prices/low quality of feeds. But a month is a long time in business.

@hunderwear, am impressed by your numbers! just wondering if u keep records of costs ? 1000 pcs would be consuming about 7-8 sacks per week ? Thats like 20k per week? u r loaded bro!

Kindly Recommend madawa ya vacinnation - what u r using. The last time i tried this project the cocci and related avian gods were not amused!
