Molting in Poultry

Broadly speaking Molting is a tecnique of resting a birds production cycle to rejuvenate it for a extended period. Aged birds which have exhausted their laying period, or the birds whose over sized Eggs size or  poor Egg shell becomes a problem or the birds who can't compete the market in terms of Egg rate though their  production % age is satisfactory or sometime when the bird comes under severe viral attack, are put to Molting. The bird is off fed for 5-7 days so that the protein profile of the bird is reset and the weight is reduced. The bird is put to restricted  and specialised feeding for some days so that it get rejuvenated in terms of its Mineral deposits. The ovaries also get rejuvenated after a rest. When the bird restarts the laying, % age production increases by 10-15%., problem of oversized egg is minimised and the egg shell quality also improves.
There are different schools of thought regarding practicability of Molting. Some find it useful and some find it wastage of time and money when they don't get desired results. A path in between of limited Molting may be the best answer.

Wt. Formula

 A new concept in Poultry Feed formulations has emerged where protein content can be kept at a some optimum level say 16%., but the amino acid level is so balanced that the desired results are obtained as if the protein is kept at 18-20%. Most of the Indian Poultry Feeds formulations are software generated where climate part is not taken into account. Cheaper locally available feed ingredients are used most of the times. As a result a required balance of amino acids is not achieved. Subsequently broilers don't attain Weightt in due time. " Wt Formula" ensures that the  desired Wt. gain is achieved at required rate with the administration of this formula in regular Feed. Feed Supplementation with right amino acid ratios always pays in terms of desired objectives.  Besides gaining timely weight gain, it's balanced composition controlls  CRD, Viral, and E- Coli  to about 80% . Supplementation of amino acids in this composition reduce the Heat Stress also to a minimum.

Dose is 150 gm- 200gm./ quintal of Feed. Method of use is very simple.

Calculate the approximate daily feed consumption. Suppose it is 200 kg. Just mix Wt Formula @150 X2=300 gm in approx 5-6 kg feed  and add Soya refined oil to it @1ltre per 100 kg of feed consumed per day and top dress in all the feeders once a day and four days a week continuously. You can give them rest for rest three days. For 1000 birds you will require approx 3kg.  You can start it from day 1after the chicks arrival and continue till the date of sale .i.e 35 or 40 days.

We provide it through parcel service of Indian Post. It can delieverd on a village address also. Rates includes parcel charges. Minimum order is 3kg.

Weight gain in Broilers ( A hard nut to crack)

Slow  weight gain in Broilers is a very serious issue for a Broiler farmer. A Broiler farm survives only on a simple logic of earlier the weight gain and lowest the mortality.
Following points help to get the desired results in Broiler Farming.
1.Chicks from  a good breed  should be selected.
2.A good brooding defines the growth pattern for a Broiler . If in winter accurate brooder temperature is not maintained, the bird may get some infection and the bird will loose weight rather than gaining it.
3. Feeding a good quality Feed is the next step in this direction. Broilers need a highly concentrated Feed to get timely Wt. gain.
4. Temperature controll during peak summer is essential. Otherwise reversion in weight followed by heat stroke mortality is there.
5. Liver protection and controll on mycotoxins is very essential otherwise FCR ( Feed conversion ratio ) will be very low.
6. Due to fast weight gain and heavy weight, Weak leg strength is very common so calcium Supplementation is very essential.
7.If the bird catches some infection due to some reason, firstly the infection should be checked with suitable antibiotic followed by Supplementation of multi vitamins ,  Liver tonic and Trace Minerals.
8. GPF Poultry Feed Supplements ( www.gpfindia.in) has developed a growth promoter for the Broilers which contains balanced herbal amino acids and vitamins for early Wt. Gain.
9. Lighting plays a very important role in Broiler gaining weight. If a  one hour black out is followed by every two hour bright light alternatively at night, the bird takes up Feed during the bright period and digest it during the dark. It will considerably improve the FCR.

Fluctuating Egg Production, a problem

Seasonal fluctuations in Egg production of layers is a very common issue. Actually with the change in climate, the amino acid requirements or the protein profile needs to be adjusted.
  A simple example to follow is in that people of Rajasthan and people of Kerela have totally different nutritional requirements. So their food can't  be similar for a longer time. People of Rajasthan use high calories like  ( Ghee etc.) food whereas people of Kerela eat lower calorie food like idli doda Sambar etc. If you co-relate it with the climate and follow it in Poultry, you are on the top of the world.
In India, normally four type of climates come one by one.
From 25 th Dec to 23 March - When humidity starts increasing with lowering of temperature.. This season demands High calories as well as high protein quality and quantity.
23.rd March- 21 St June- When the humid starts decreasing with the increase in temperature also. This season demands  good calories but the protein should be  slightly decreased.
21st June- 23 rd Sept.- When  the humidity again increases along with high temperature. This period again demand high calories with high protein.
23 rd Sep- 25 th. Dec. - The humidity declines with temperature going down very slowly. This season demand low protein and low calories.
These practicality may be experienced by some when they get good productions even at not so good Feed qualities. While sometimes they get shockingly low productions at same Feed quality. GPF  Poultry Feed Supplements have developed a combination of amino acids named  Egg Formula  which caters to the requirements of these seasonal fluctuations. Dose per quintal of Feed is 100- 200 gm.
The other reason for production drop may be a  bacterial or a viral attack. which needs a doctor's advice. Antibiotic or a special vaccination schedule has to be adopted in that case.

Natural Remedy to diabetes

Drinking Lemon water , early in the morning can keep the sugar  levels  low in the diabetic patients. But this should not be repeated during the day particularly in the evening.
