Note: If you intend to do a non-commercial operation it is advisable that you only feed the Kuroilers on a starter mixing ration for approximately 3 weeks and
thereafter allow the chicks to get on an incremental free-range arrangement until they are two months where they can be on a 100% free range arrangement.
This will help minimize costs yet the Kuroilers will still outperform the traditional chicken in both egg and meat productivity.

Notes:
Column 3 - Dates: Depending on whether you bought day old chicks, one month old chicks etc, insert the respective dates in this
column
Column 5 - Total feeds per day: This is a multiplication of the total number of chicks available (remember to adjust in case some die)
and the recommended feeds per chick in column 4 (Recommended Feeds per bird (in grams) per day).
Column 6 - Total feeds per week: This is a multiplication of total feeds consumed per day (column 5) and total number of days in a
week (7); this helps to enable you plan how much feeds you can stock for a week or for a month.
Column 8 Total water per day: multiply the recommended total water per bird per day (Column 7) with total number of birds
(column 1). Please note that the best practice is to keep water present for the chickens at all times

Repeat New Castle vaccination every after 2 months

De-beak at 3 months and introduce laying eggs
In case of any problems contact us immediately.
Always use a flask when collecting vaccines.
Prepared vaccine should not stay for more than 2 hours after preparation.
Vaccinate birds only when they are in good health
Dont give any other drug on day of vaccination.

NOTE: Kuroilers are hardy birds; while it is mandatory that all chicks are administered the recommended mandatory vaccinations, it is also
important to note that local realities across Uganda and Africa limit access to vital high quality vaccines for many rural chicken farmers. The
good news that we have had testimonies from some of our clients of 100% survival rates even when they never administered any vaccination
at all.
