1. A 3-year-old Thoroughbred c**t is evaluated because of a two-day history of nasal discharge and a decreased appetite. He is housed in a stable with 15 other 2- to 4-year-old horses; three other horses have similar signs. Re**al temperature is 104.9°F (40.5°C), pulse rate is 48 beats/min, and respiratory rate is 32 breaths/min. Physical examination shows moderate mucoid nasal discharge bilaterally. Mucous membranes are moist and pink. Capillary refill time is less than 2 seconds. Submandibular lymph nodes are enlarged, warm, and painful on palpation. Thoracic and abdominal auscultation discloses no abnormalities. Which of the following is the most appropriate recommendation to give to the owner to minimize the spread of this disease to the other horses in the stable?

(A) Administer antimicrobial drugs to all horses prophylactically

(B) Administer a vaccine to all horses

(C) Initiate a mosquito control program on the property

(D) Isolate all horses who have a fever

(E) No action is indicated

Here's why record keeping is essential:

2. Financial Management:
* Profitability Analysis: �Records of income (from sales of eggs, meat, etc.) and expenses (feed, medication, labor, etc.) provide a clear picture of the farm's financial health, allowing for accurate profitability calculations and informed financial planning. ���* Cost Control: �By tracking expenses, farmers can identify areas where costs can be reduced without compromising flock health and productivity. ���* Access to Credit: �Detailed financial records demonstrate a consistent cash flow, making it easier for farmers to secure loans and credit from banks.

Here's why record keeping is essential:

1. Monitoring Flock Health:
Disease Prevention and Management:
Records of vaccinations, medications, and disease outbreaks help track flock health and identify potential problems early on, allowing for timely intervention and preventing widespread illness.
Mortality Tracking:
Recording daily mortality rates helps identify trends and potential causes, such as disease outbreaks or poor management practices, enabling prompt corrective actions.
Growth and Production:
Tracking weight gain, egg production, and feed consumption allows farmers to assess flock performance, identify areas for improvement, and optimize feeding strategies.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN QUALITY POULTRY FEED

How do you make your poultry feed as a farmer ?

As a Farmers, you can create your own poultry feed using the Pearson Square method. This method helps ensure that the feed contains the right amount of digestible crude protein (DCP), which is essential for the nutrition of chickens.

Here’s how you can do it:

Ingredients and Their DCP Values:
- Whole maize: 8.23%
- Soya: 45%
- Fishmeal (omena): 55%
- Maize bran: 7%
- Sunflower: 35%

For example, if you want to make feed for laying hens (layers), the feed should have at least 18% crude protein.

Making a 70kg Bag of Feed for Layers:
To make a 70kg bag of feed with 18% crude protein, you need:
- 34kg of whole maize
- 12kg of soya
- 8kg of fishmeal (omena)
- 10kg of maize bran
- 6kg of lime (as a calcium source)

Calculating Crude Protein:
To check if the feed meets the 18% protein requirement, do the following calculations:
- Whole maize: 34kg × 8.23 ÷ 100 = 2.80%
- Soya: 12kg × 45 ÷ 100 = 5.40%
- Fishmeal: 8kg × 55 ÷ 100 = 4.40%
- Lime: 6kg × 0 ÷ 100 = 0.00%

Total crude protein = 2.80% + 5.40% + 4.40% = 12.60%

To get the total crude protein percentage in the 70kg bag:
12.60% ÷ 70kg × 100 = 18%

So, the feed has 18% crude protein, which is perfect for layers.

Ready-Made Formulations:
To make it even easier, here are ready-made feed formulations for different stages of chicken growth:

Chick Mash (1-4 weeks)
Ingredients for a 70kg bag:
- 31.5kg whole maize
- 9.1kg wheat bran
- 7.0kg wheat pollard
- 16.8kg sunflower or linseed
- 1.5kg fishmeal
- 1.75kg lime
- 30g salt
- 20g premix amino acids
- 70g tryptophan
- 3.0g lysine
- 10g methionine
- 70g threonine
- 50g enzymes
- 60g coccidiostat
- 50g toxin binder

Growers Mash (4-8 weeks)
Ingredients for a 70kg bag:
- 10kg whole maize
- 17kg maize germ
- 13kg wheat pollard
- 10kg wheat bran
- 6kg cotton seed cake
- 5kg sunflower cake
- 3.4kg soya meal
- 2.07kg lime
- 700g bone meal
- 3kg fishmeal
- 14g salt
- 1g coccidiostat
