RAISE YOUR POULTRY
ORGANICALLY!
All
chicks and Turkeys grown without medicated feed are at a high risk of
contracting coccidiosis. This can cause many deaths; stunted growth in
survivors and an immediate need for treatment, thus defeating the purpose of
using unmedicated feed!
Now
you can get your Chicks and Turkeys vaccinated for coccidiosis. This is a
completely organic way to build immunity, done at the hatchery, for a modest
charge.
To
grow your birds organically, you should get your birds vaccinated for
coccidiosis; feed a good quality, unmedicated feed and avoid using antibiotics.
(Certified organic poultry would require the use of certified organic feed, as
well.)
If
you choose to have your birds vaccinated for coccidiosis, do not use any
medicated feed. Any amount of medicated feed in the first two weeks of the
chick's life will result in the vaccine being destroyed, defeating the purpose
of the vaccination!
It is essential to start with a clean disinfected barn when using
vaccine!
