Calculate how many bags of feed 650 broilers will consume over six weeks using the broiler feeding guide, growth charts, and week-by-week feed per bird.

Calculate the cost of production per broiler and for 650 birds by itemizing feed, housing, water, salary, transportation, medications, preservation, and miscellaneous, then sum for budgeting.

On day one, stabilize arrival temperature (Ross 35°C; Cobb 36–37°C) and water with glucose and multivitamin; weigh arrival weight, then feed via three feeders and perform 2-hour crop checks.

Maintain the brooder temperature at 32–33 degrees celsius on day two, discard the previous water, and switch to 50 l with multivitamin and preventive antibiotics, while ensuring constant feed and regular checks.

On day three, maintain 32-33°C, discard and refresh prior day water and preventive antibiotics with multivitamin, provide ad lib feed, sprinkle fresh feed on top of old, and monitor intake.

Observe growth on day four under careful management, with one mortality and high afternoon temperatures; adjust temperature, refresh water, administer preventive antibiotics with multivitamin, and change feeders to conserve feed.

On day 5, monitor temperature, adjust heat, open trampolines, clean nipple cups, switch to anti coccidiosis, and feed in the cone feeder while managing heat during a six-week broiler cycle.

On day six, expand brooder, adjust temperature to 31 and 32 degrees, and remove the brooding pepper. Maintain anti-coccidiosis medication and clean nipple cups; monitor ventilation to control heat.

On day seven, observe feathering and growth as we lower temperature to 29–30 degrees, refresh water with a multi-vitamin and preventive anti-coccidiosis, and clean nipple cups.

Evaluate first-week performance on day eight by weighing 10% of birds, prepare for day-nine vaccination with multi-vitamin, and manage heat to maintain 29–30°C.

On day nine, we vaccinate 650 broilers against Gumboro, dilute with water only, maintain 29–30°C, and vaccinate quickly to avoid vaccine failure.

maintain bed temperature near 29–30 c on day 10 and test 28 c; vaccinate day 9, give multi vitamin after; raise feeders with binding wire, check every 2–4 hours.

On day 11, increase floor space and feeders for flocks, clean water cups, and administer a three-day anti-coccidia medication; gradually switch from high quality to cheaper feed to sustain growth.

On day 12, maintain 28 to 29°C for breeding, clean water cups and apply anti coccidiosis medication, clean feeders, remove wood shavings, and serve feed as birds finish two bags.

On the 13th day, the birds show improvement as the breeding cycle nears its end. We keep room temperature around 26–28 degrees, heat only at night.

On day 14 we raised nipple drinkers to accommodate taller birds, cleaned feeders, fed on a strict schedule, and used multivitamin water to prepare for Newcastle vaccination while monitoring heat.

Vaccinate broilers against Newcastle disease on day 15 with a diluted vaccine given within 30 minutes and water-starved, record 524 g weight, 11 feed bags, and plan the third week.

On day 16, they flush and rinse pipes, then feed fresh water to observe birds. They add multivitamins, prep vaccination, expand housing, and plan replacement for departing worker.

Observe day 17, where individual growth and team development emerge as replacements join the broiler flock, and switch morning water to multivitamin with preventive antibiotics for three days.

Clean the nipple cups and refresh water with medication as needed, noting birds finish water quickly in heat. Feed three daily times at 7 am, 11 am, and 9 pm.

On day 19, we clean the nipple tops and feeders, while noting a temperature drop to about 30 degrees and water use around 130 liters.

On day 20, we switch to a multi-vitamin for vaccination prep, while performing routine feeder checks and keeping temperatures around 30 degrees to support healthy broilers.

On day 21 we administer the second vaccine dose to broilers via water, prepare a fresh base water, dissolve the vaccine, and ensure quick consumption before cleaning cups and feeders.

Day 22 begins week four, evaluating performance, weighing birds to 1012 g on a digital scale, adjusting feeders to curb waste, and starting multivitamin water ahead of second gumbura dose.

Observe remarkable growth on day 23 as the pen expands and feed shifts from cone to new feeders; manage heat stress with a multi-vitamin regimen and regular checks.

On day 24, we clean nipple drinker cups and add vitamins to water to counter heat stress. Birds drink about 220 liters and adapt to the new feeder and filter.

Clean nipple cups to remove dust and medication residues on day 25, then adjust feeding as broilers adapt, using multi vitamin water to reduce stress and support growth.

On day 26 we cleaned the house, removed wood shavings, and gave multi-vitamin water to counter heat stress. On day 27 we prepared for second vaccine dose and finished feed.

On day 27, we vaccinated the broilers with Lacerta, second dose, in 30 liters of water, monitored heat stress, and recorded four mortalities from peak heat despite adjustments.

On day 28, we implement full broiler stress management with high ventilation, lighter bedding, and suspended feeders during peak heat, aided by multi-vitamin to counter vaccination stress.

On day 29, the start of week five, we evaluate base performance via weighing, surpassing the target of 1.5 kg with an average of 1,571 g and saving 2.5 bags.

On day 30, we manage feeding with multiple bags, clean nipple cups, introduce cool water, and spray to cool the birds, using antioxidants and multivitamins.

Maintain continuous broiler farming on day 31 by countering stress, feeding before cleaning, prioritizing water with antioxidants and medication, and noting a single mortality with steady feed use.

On day 32, the flock stayed strong amid heat, recording one mortality; fatigue paused midday feeding, then feeders resumed with anti acidosis and multivitamin, consuming four bags.

On day 33, the broilers show strong performance, adapting to new feeders with mixed feeding and no mortality, four bags eaten.

Day 34 highlights feeding the birds, cleaning nipple cups, giving multivitamin water, suspending feeders at peak heat, spraying water, and recording five bags of feed as the temperature reached 37°C.

Extend broilers beyond 35 days toward 42 days to add weight, while ensuring early feeding, vitamin water on day 25, and heat management with afternoon spraying.

On day 37, we feed the birds, replace dusty wood shavings, provide vitamin water during heat, suspend feeding at peak temperatures, and resume in the evening, finishing five bags.

Clean cups and refill water with multivitamin at 3 a.m. on day 38, discard unfinished water, soak a few birds to cool, and finish six bags of feed by evening.

Day 39 logs feeding, cleaning nipple cups, and multivitamin water for broilers; despite 40-degree heat, beds are soaked to prevent coccidiosis as four days remain in the six-week run.

Assess the birds' performance on the 40th day and describe routine care: feeding, cleaning, vitamin-enriched water for heat stress, pausing feed at peak heat, then resuming in the evening.

Sales begin on day 41 for the broilers, as a customer buys about 30 birds; we feed, clean the nipple, and provide vitamin-rich water while adjusting feeding for the heat.

On day 42, the final day, we feed early, clean cups, and apply multi-vitamin, pausing feeding during the hottest part of the day as we prepare for sales.

Calculate the live broiler selling price using the broiler feed price ratio and cost per bird, with a minimum ratio of 2.6.

Learn to price dressed broilers by weight after dressing losses, using the broiler feed price ratio, cost of feed, and final dressed weight to set per-kilogram price.

Enhance broiler sales by improving quality and storage, joining unions, and raising public awareness. Pre-sell, network with farmers and outlets, and use direct selling or middleman collaboration to move volumes.
