Despite the fact that I am into Broiler farming business, it doesn't depicts I am not in one or the other tweaking for layer farming busines. Of course, layer farming is a good business, most especially it's good for a long term purpose as I have stated the last time I talked about the short time purpose of Broiler farming business. Before I dabble into other parts of my explanation, layer farming is a kind of poultry farming business where the birds are for the purpose of laying eggs
Layer farming and its pattern.
Before layer birds can start laying eggs, they will need to be reared from day old to 6 months, if there's delay it might take 7 months. They are vaccinated for good 18 weeks from the first week. But there is cunning pattern of vaccinating them. The first four weeks, they will be vaccinated for gumboro and lasota strain both on two occasions for the first four weeks as I have stated in my previous statement. Then from the fifth week to their eighteenth week.
Give them like broiler
week 6-Fowl pox vaccine, someone would need a veterinary for that because it's intra muscular, repeat again at 8 weeks
Week 9-Deworm
Week 10-NDV komorov intra muscular
Week 12-Infectious coryza
Week 13-Lasota booster
Week 16-Aryngotracheitis spray or eye drop
Week 17-Three in one vaccine intral muscular.
One would see that it's somehow strenuous and logical. So after all that being done, from their 19th week till their 28th week, they need high tense of feeding so that they can start laying once they clock 6 months.
Its two ways purposes.
The first purpose is that they will start laying from 6 months to the next one year and they will laying almost everyday. That's the major purpose. While the second purpose is that after layer birds have exhausted from laying, they can also be sold for meat purpose. Some even prefer layer meat than the broiler meat. So that is the two purposes they are liable to serve.
Truth be told, rearing layers for poultry farm business requires lot of technicality. Moreso, it requires lot of fund to start with because of the nature of the business it's basically a long time business project.
