Keeping litter dry and using ammonia or phenolic disinfectants helps destroy oocysts effectively.

The main economic difference is that broiler farming offers quick but potentially higher-risk returns from selling meat, while layer farming provides a steady, consistent income from selling eggs over a longer period. Broilers have a fast turnover (6-8 weeks) and higher market value per bird, but require careful market timing to maximize profit. Layers have a long production cycle (up to 2 years), lower upfront costs in some areas, but a more consistent income stream due to continuous egg demand

Very well summarized, Md — that’s a precise list of real winter-season challenges we face on farms.
-
Excellent explanation, Bello — a complete, multi-faceted approach like that really keeps respiratory problems under control.
-
Completely agree, Ibrahim — ventilation, litter, and biosecurity truly go hand in hand for winter management.
-
Rightly said, Lucky — clean, dry bedding and quick isolation really help limit disease spread.
-
Exactly, Olamide — ventilation and biosecurity are the backbone of respiratory health during cold months.
-
Rightly said, Bello — crumbles at the starter stage often gives that early growth edge.

Thanks, Olayiwola! Glad you found the discussion useful.

Excellent explanation, Muhammad — you covered it perfectly, especially about starting with crumble and shifting to pellets.
