hi there, i am new in raising native chickens. I need help in raising raising them specially pag nagkakasakit sila at namamatay....nakakalungkot.

If newly hatch sila maaaari silang magprovide ng vitamins upang maboost ang knilng immune system.

Ang mga inahin ay dapat din ideworm.

may mga vaccine na ibinibigay sa mga manok pero hindi po advisable ito ibigay sa may mga sakit na alaga.

Vaccination program:
Day old =      Mareks= usually breeder ang nagbibigay nito.
7 days old=   NCD(B1 strain) +IB =  intraocular or intranasal
14 days old= IBD                 
21 days old= NCD(lasota)+IB    =vi


NCD= new castle disease
IB = infectious bronchitis
IBD= infectious bursal disease

Although kung konti lang naman ang kanilang alaga i don't think na economical ang bakuna.

Kung sa kanilang alaga ay mayroong sinisipon maaari silang magbigay antibiotic tulad ng tetracycline, amoxicilllin, etc.  follow the instruction na lang manufacturer ng gamot kalimitan ito ay nakasaad sa likod ng eteketa.

Doc,am planning on raising native chicken in 2008 ourselves along with our turkeys,do not understand what you wrote in the last post about raising native chicken,is it possible to confine native chickens,how many roosters needed for lets say 50-100 hens?
Thanks  mikey

you can confine them but it would affect the taste of the meat.

Natives have tasty meat because they can exercise a lot and this gives them firm muscles and fats add to that is the food they ingest.

Rooster per hen ratio, im not sure about it. You could start with 1:20 ratio.
----------------

In my last post i am just saying that you need to give vitamins and deworm to the flock.
Also vaccine is required if you have a huge flock.

Thanks,Doc

interested po ako dito sa free-range native chicken raising. I've heard that there is a darag and/or kabir breed being raised on free-range method in Ipil, zamboanga sibugay, But is there a market for native chicken meat and its eggs?..

this is very cost efficient because we can cut on expensive feeds unlike the caged birds but will there be buyers for this type of meat? people are picky especially with the eggs. Most people prefer the white leghorn eggs.

is the native free-range chicken meat tender?
can the native chicken lay eggs at par with the white leghorn?

meron po ba tayong manual o babasahin tungkol sa native chicken raising? salamat po!

Market for free range... usually you as the raiser need to search the market for this, bazzar, week end market etc.... Unlike the traditional 45 days broiler free range does not have a biyahero or regular buyers. Kung meron man napakakonti nila.

In terms of meat tenderness as for some people it is much tender and tastier than the commercial broiler.
 I do not have any manual for this. As the name imply it is free range, just let it roam and provide shelter and little commercial feeds.

Vaccination program:
Day old =      Mareks= usually breeder ang nagbibigay nito. - injection po ba to doc?

7 days old=   NCD(B1 strain) +IB =  intraocular or intranasal

14 days old= IBD   -??
             
21 days old= NCD(lasota)+IB    =vi -??

anung magandang pang deworm doc?

ncd la sota and ibd pwedeng sa drinking water ilagay

marek - subcutaneous

ncd la sota and ibd pwedeng sa drinking water ilagay

thank you doc pero what do u mean by subcutaneous?  sensya na po... 

regarding sa marek po doc what if 3 days after birth or more kasi weekly lang ako pumupunta sa farm namin ok lang po ba?

thanks!
