14:15 The birds are vaccinated throughout the production period against the Newcastle Disease. They are either given Newcastle injection or oral Newcastle vaccine like Lasota or i2 every 3 months as per the Ghana National Poultry Vaccination Schedule. Most people however give the oral Newcastle every 8 weeks. Failure to vaccinate them against Newcastle disease during the production period will cost the farmer hugely.
7:44 Commercial poultry farms will typically keep their layers for 2yrs. 6 months rearing and 1 and half year production. Because after 2yrs, the flock will no longer be profitable to keep. The standard Hen Day production will be around 62-70% depending on the breed and the farm management. Beyond week 100 (2yrs), it’s not sustainable to keep the flock. It’s evidential in the fact that they collect 380 crates from 15,000 layers that are 1 and half year old. That’s 76% production. By the time they reach 2yrs, the production might drop below 70%. At this point, the profit margin will be nothing to write home about, so farmers will sell the birds and bring in new flock (DOC).
I watched this from New York , Good job . The manager really knows his job & Enyonam you also asked good questions. As a Togolese I understand Enyonam as it’s good for me 😊✌️
Great job Enyonam! The interview was awesome and the answers were straight and to the point. I am happy for the young man, the farm owners and workers. They are contributing excellently well to the African economy and that needs to be praised. I wish though that he had provided the feed formulation to you because sharing useful farming information online is one problem we have as Africans. Providing his formulation will not stop his birds from producing. However, it's no big deal though because a little later feed formulation search on Google will provide anyone with detailed feed formula that can even be specific to your region.
I completely agree. He did great. It was unfortunate that he assumed that sharing his feed formulation method would make his business less profitable. Or perhaps make other farmers gain some secret information.
Quite educative and thrilling. Enyonam asks: "The Yellow corn mixed with that?" Osei replies: "That is our formula" 🤣🤣 Anyway a big thank you to you both for this interview. Together we rise!
17:52 The optimal environment temperature for layers is between 18 and 24 degrees celcius. There’s a risk of heat stress when the temperature is too high. This of course will impact their production.
You are right! This is why production drops at the beginning of each dry season, and only picks up when the birds have acclimatized to the new hot weather and when the farmer puts things in place to help the birds adjust faster. I have 500+ layers being managed by my sister and her husband and the daily feeding rate dropped from 2.25/2.50 bags per day in some parts of the rainy season (July to October) to about 1.5 bags per day between November and late December. It has slowly started climbing back and they are recording between 1.75 to 2.00 bags as we speak. They had to give them some boosters and perform activities, especially with the tarpaulins to help them cool down during the day and warm up a bit at night.
Deep litter is different from free range, but I understand the confusion. Though the birds have more space to move about in the deep litter system compared with the cage system. In the free range system, the birds have access to outside (typically, the farm’s compound which will normally be fenced), and they will only use the coop/pen house to roost/sleep at night and lay eggs (some farms will have some of the laying nests in the compound so the birds can also use it when they want to lay). Basically, free range birds can look up and see the sky, if this helps in understanding what a free range system is.
Please madam, my greetings to you, I want to know how much 50kg of poultry manure costs and where to get some to buy. and farmland for lease within Accra. thank you.
Please Enyonam where’s the location of this farm and is it possible to get Gyamena’s contact to talk to him about his assistance because I’m waiting to start my farm soon. Thank you
This lady showed no regard for the birds. “Stay in cage all their life until they’re sent to the slaughter”. The guy even said it worse “confined” . I’m just wondering if chickens have emotions.
Yes but the battery cage is more profitable because you are able to identify nonproductive birds and fish them out for sale which reduces cost of feed, saving you some money.
Bro you are good but if you can't share your formulae then why are you here. I thought you are here to teach us to learn. Please it's not good you can't teach and hide secret. It wrong. Information is out there. Come again bro. Give us the formulae. We need it all.
75% cost on poultry farming goes on feeds.....he's not coming clean on real numbers on money ....that's why referring you online learning....African mentality thinking you might start a 30k chicken farm next to his farm or village 🤔and over take him...😆 🤣
Hello , I just came across your page I’m trying to get into the poultry business .. also I need some technical advice, can you share an email or number ? Also I would like to know who built the cage

Exactly
It feels good to have watched this video, extremely informative, thank you for the content.
The lady asked matured questions and farmer answers it maturely ,i love them 😂😅
The guy is fluent and intelligent. He knows his job. Keep on. My dream job one-day it might come true
Amen
Amen to that my bro/sis
This guy knows what he’s doing as a farmer. Well done

Very true. I was actually surprised when he said vaccination ends just after the 5th month particularly in Ghana.
Maybe their biosecurity systems are apt that such diseases don not enter the production area.
@@johnobloni4544 even farms with the strictest biosecurity still administer Newcastle vaccine during production.
@@WalIbru very true, that's what I learnt.

Welcome aboard!
Educative video, keep it up but my question is how much is the a day old Chickens and did he said he have 15000 or 50000 birds

Waooo this is soo educative
You are doing a great work
Thank you so much 😀
Beautyful video and informative ❤❤❤
Nice one keep it up ❤
Which machine should I purchase to make my own feeds,,I also have some chicken
Very insightful piece
Glad you think so!
Is deep litter the same as free range? Do battery hens get stressed as a result of confinement? can this lead to disease outbreak?
Yes, deep litter is same as free range, definitely the birds might get stressed. That’s why you compare and choose one
Deep litter is different from free range, but I understand the confusion. Though the birds have more space to move about in the deep litter system compared with the cage system. In the free range system, the birds have access to outside (typically, the farm’s compound which will normally be fenced), and they will only use the coop/pen house to roost/sleep at night and lay eggs (some farms will have some of the laying nests in the compound so the birds can also use it when they want to lay). Basically, free range birds can look up and see the sky, if this helps in understanding what a free range system is.
no It is not the same
You the best youtuber
Thanks for this advice 🙏🙏
Pasture raised chicken is the best chicken. Cage chicken is no good. The is coming from a Nigerian American family from Virginia, USA.
Good practices though but I don't think medication just stop at the 5th months rather we continue to do that as and when necessary
Please madam, my greetings to you, I want to know how much 50kg of poultry manure costs and where to get some to buy. and farmland for lease within Accra. thank you.
Where are you located?
Good job
What is the price for the cage system and housing structure
Hae, how many grams of feeds should one hen consume in a battery cages
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
How much do you need to start Poultry farm
I like this video👍
Thanks for watching
please ask him about poutry feed formulation to share with us.
I did ask Sir, he wasn’t willing to share that if you watched the entire video
You can get it on RUclips or buy online E books
What makes it a battery cage

Please who can help me to buy the battery cage in Accra
Are you in Accra
Yes I live in Accra
I need a battery cage to buy@@theghanaianfarmer
👍👍👍
15000 birds 380 crates a day then its like more 4000 are not laying am i right?
Yehh 3600
Not necessarily prolly they don’t collect all the eggs in a day and some may lay within 24hrs I mean but yehh I think the majority lays
👏👏👏👏👏👏
This guy is very intelligent I beg is he married 😂
This lady showed no regard for the birds. “Stay in cage all their life until they’re sent to the slaughter”.

I consider the battery cage system to be inhumane to the birds, I prefer the free range system instead.
Yes but the battery cage is more profitable because you are able to identify nonproductive birds and fish them out for sale which reduces cost of feed, saving you some money.
Am told it is easy to rear the poultry than the deep litter system
Bro you are good but if you can't share your formulae then why are you here. I thought you are here to teach us to learn. Please it's not good you can't teach and hide secret. It wrong. Information is out there. Come again bro. Give us the formulae. We need it all.
👍👍👍👍👍
He didn’t want to give the stuffs mixed with the feed. African man always hiding games
That’s soo sad to see them confined to a small cage and not be able to see the sun and walk on the grass.
What's sad about this?
You can leave yours to walk in grass
That's exactly what I thought too
380 crates of eggs 🥚 on daily basis? Is this possible?
He said the birds are 15,000. 380×30=11,400 so it is possible.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🌴🌴🔥🔥🔥🔥
Guys let’s not repeat cruelty farming. Cage farming ain’t it.
Please u should have ask him where can we get someone who makes same hen 🐔 cage for the hens . if you have the number u can send it to me
Typical Ghanaian mentality, he don’t want to share common feed formulation ..
