Happy New Year in poetry farming. Hello viewers, welcome on our YouTube channel, Otos Farms
0:18
Today in this video, we will be talking to you about how much we spend
0:22
in order for us to raise our layer chicks from day one
0:26
to the 16 weeks of age when they began to lay. Stay tuned and watch
0:37
Welcome back viewers. So as we earlier said at the beginning of this video, we shall be talking about the expenditure cost of raising 3,000 layers from day 1 to 112 days, which is exactly 16 weeks
0:50
It should be noted yet that one of the main factors to begin poetry farming is land
0:55
Yeah, land. which we are not going to talk about in this video given the fact that these factors varies according to the location or country
1:04
let us examine some of the main factors that contributed to the expenditure cost of racing 30,000 layers here at autos farm from day 1 to day 112th
1:15
first cost of chicks and transportation talking about this factor here in Cameroon
1:23
dweller from where we purchased our layers chicks produced by the company Agrocom required of us to buy from a middleman at a price of 750
1:32
France making it a total of 2 million 250,000 francs while the transportation cost from
1:39
Douala to Boia was 30,000 francs. Second, cost of brooding. Broding dozen requires a lot of expenditure as it depends on the type of materials use
1:52
Here at Otto's farm, we made use of cardboard papers, soders and three
1:56
Tamplin at a total cost of 65,000 francs. For those who haven't yet subscribed, please do click on our notification button to get notified
2:09
Cardboard could be made out of cartoons while sodas should be of a specific quality, which is from white wood and dry sodas
2:19
Moreover, thermometers are necessary in order to determine the temperature of the broadening space, which will help you know
2:26
if your cheeks are feeling too hot or cold. Talking about hot or cold let us examine the cost of heating as the third factor In order to heat our layers we made use of firewood gas and electrical equipment at different
2:42
periods within two months, given a fact that it was during the raining season
2:48
This made a total cost of 34,000 francs. Nevertheless, it should be noted that these total costs included a wood burning stand pot alongside the cost of
3:00
cost of our gas bottle, propane, electricity bill and drinkers tan. I'm sure some people will
3:07
be asking about the cost of drinkers and feeders of which we will not mention in this video
3:14
because we simply made use of what we had already acquired during our early years in poetry farming
3:22
In addition, thermometer could be obtained at any veterinary shop at lower prices. Please
3:28

3:39
of this year thank you all in advance as we bring to you more insights on
3:44
poetry farming business from autos farms the third factor and one of the most
3:50
important which made up our expenditure cost is feeding so the cost of feeding from
3:56
starter to grower then finisher made a total of 11 million, 309,070 francs, which we produce at a local feed meal
4:09
around our vicinity in Boya. Talking about feet, it is advisable to follow up the quality and processing of the feet
4:18
component, such as the maize if it is well dry, alongside the granite
4:24
If they are not of good quality, it will affect the health, growth or still production rates
4:31
of the layers. A dimension of health, let's dive into the cost of vaccination and medications as a fit factor
4:40
of our expenditure costs, being one of the most vital factor in poultry farming, which
4:45
determines the lifespan and egg production rates of our 3,000 layers. So it should be noted yet in total, we meet an expenditure cost on vaccination and medication
4:54
of 1,373,000 francs. This cost was due to the fact that we administered both oral
5:01
and injectable vaccine to our layers in order to build up properly their immune system and
5:07
egg laying quality and quantity Moreover the fact that we had 3 layers we purchased vaccine at 1 doses with a total of 3 doses which we administered injectably into the muscles of our layers
5:20
at the back of their necks and also their legs. Medications such as antibiotics and multivitamins were also purchased at veterinary stores
5:34
at bar quantity so as to curb the expenditure cost if bought on retail
5:48
Talking about water as a seat factor to our expenditure cost, we spent 100,000 francs
5:53
to raise our liars from day one to the 16 weeks when they began to lay
5:58
Water was able to obtain from health resources such as community pipelines
6:03
and well-feited streams. Nevertheless, it is good to have water tanks where water could be stored in case if you are in shortage of water from your main sources
6:16
As food is very vital to the health of our layers, so to its water, because bacteria can attack a flux through water sources
6:26
That is why we always make sure to give them clean and pure water inside clean drinkers
6:33
which we watch after some days with detergents and sterilizers. Moreover, it is advisable to stand the drinkers on top of a block
6:46
in order to avoid sodders particles to get into the drinkers. As for the cost of litter, being a seventh factor on expenditure cost, we made use of wood shavings
7:02
which we purchased at 85,000 francs. Buying more than enough wood shavings or solos for litter is very important because it is always in use especially when the litter in the housing of the layers gets wet and needs to be changed
7:18
Moreover, the litter in your poetry housing has to have a depth of about 2.5 centimeters in order to keep the layers warm especially during their early stage
7:29
In addition, the litter must be well dried so as to curb the growth of bacteria and parasites
7:36
which may be very harmful to your flocks. More to that wood shavings reduces smell as it reduces the ammonia in the air that comes out of the poetry droppings Miscellanos here will imply disinfectants detergents boots slippers buckets soaps
8:02
amongst others, which costs 250,000 francs. Having good disinfectants will enable you to disinfect your used vaccines bottles before disposal
8:14
in order to avoid dangerous bacteria which may develop over a long term
8:19
However, it is important to note that when you use vaccines bottles, make sure to dispose them very far from your poetry farm
8:31
So to conclude with the total exponential cost to raise 3,000 layers from day 1 to 112 days which is 16 weeks when they begin to lay we spent
8:47
15 million 892 70 francs year auto farm to raise our layers
9:07
In addition, one of the factors that has contributed enormously in racing our layers is their feed
9:17
Recently, feet has corrupted, given the fact that in 2022, a kilogram of corn was sold at 195 francs
9:28
but recently it has climbed from 260 francs to 300. This has impacted an expenditure cost greatly
9:42
