VETERINARY MEDICINE: FACTORS AFFECTING EGG PRODUCTION IN LAYING FLOCK.
The laying cycle in chicken depends on the breed of the chicken,management factors and bio-security measures.There is actually a
pattern these birds conform to,but if all other factors are not constant,then the birds will not lay as expected. Laying birds start to lay at about 21weeks,but not all birds in the flock will start at this time,only about 5% of flock start here.The egg laying pattern is a progressive pattern with more and more birds coming into lay as weeks increase.
The following are some of the factors that affect egg laying that reduces the progressive increase expected;
1)Breed, some light breeds come into lay early while the heavier breeds come on later.
2) Body weight,the body weight around the laying period is 1.5kg, birds that have not attained this weight,will have delayed onset of lay. Overweight and underweight birds usually have delayed onset and produce smaller eggs.
3)lighting management, light stimulates egg production,thus it is imperative to increase day length by artificial lighting by 2/3 hours.This will increase egg production by 20/30%.
4) Temperature control; when temperature rises above 28 degrees, the production level and quality of eggs is reduced.Seasonal/sporadic temperature change reduces egg production by 10%.The maintenance of temperature below 28 degrees is very vital to production.
5) Management factors, simple but efficient yet effective techniques are necessary to ensure proper egg production.Strict bio security protocols to prevent entry of diseases can eliminate disease occurrence by 90%.These management practices include proper feeding,housing and medication uses when needed.
6)Disease control is very vital to egg production,hence the necessary drugs,vaccines and supplements must be provided to prevent diseases and control spread when an out break occurs.
All these factors work together to ensure that eggs are produced at the right time with expected frquency and size.

VACCINATION PROTOCOL FOR TURKEYS.
RAISING TURKEYS FOR PROFIT.
Rising turkeys should be targeted towards celebrations such as thanksgiving and Yuletide season.The production cycle is 6 months,hence a good head start will be the beginning of the year,to market at midyear.The second phase of the year can be targeted to start off and market at the end of the year.
The first step towards success is to start off with healthy poults,that are sourced from reputable hatcheries.The breed you desire is also chosen before you start venture, the large white or the broad breasted bronze.These are the common species with much preference for the broad breasted as it matures faster and reaches market weight faster.
The following should be considered when you are planning to raise turkeys;
1)source poults from reputable sources.
2) prepare the brooder house before arrival of poults. The heat must be turned on before the arrival,feeder and drinker clean and ready.
3)use clean and dry litter in the house.
4)dont raise chickens with turkeys.
5)practice the all-in-all out system.
6)ensure free air flow,proper ventilation.
7)adequate feed and water to be provided.
8)give feed with adequate protein level;
0-6/8 weeks....................28% protein.
9-12 weeks........22%protein.
13-16 weeks.....19% protein
17 weeks - market...............16% protein.
Vitamins,vaccinations and antibiotics /other medications are essential.Ensure strict bio-security protocols at all times.
