Introduction to Organic Poultry Production

Organic production 



Organic poultry production has evolved over the years, and we have developed a method of using natural herbs and spices found in our environment to raise birds without the use of synthetic drugs or antibiotics. This approach has been successful in boosting poultry production, and we have perfected the training necessary to implement it.

As a result of our efforts, a strong culture has emerged around the use of herbs, spices, and microorganisms to grow all types of birds, and this approach is now influencing organic poultry production practices not only in Nigeria but beyond as well.





1. Lactic acid is a widely used compound in poultry production due to its antimicrobial properties and its capacity to reduce the pH of feed and drinking water, which creates an unfavorable environment for harmful bacteria to grow. The following are different ways in which lactic acid can be utilized in poultry production:

Feed preservation: Lactic acid can serve as a preservative in feed to prevent spoilage, prolong the shelf life of poultry feed, and enhance its nutritional value. By reducing the pH, lactic acid increases the availability of nutrients to the birds.

Water sanitation: Lactic acid can be added to poultry drinking water to control bacterial growth and lower the risk of waterborne diseases. Additionally, it can aid in maintaining the water's pH levels, which are crucial for the bird's digestion and general well-being.

Gut health: Lactic acid can enhance the gut health of poultry by stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. This can lead to better nutrient absorption and a reduction in digestive disorders such as diarrhea.



2. Use of Tagiri Solution

Tagiri solution, derived from the Christmas Melon plant (Laganaria breviflorus), is a natural remedy that has been used in organic poultry production for its numerous benefits. Here are some ways in which Tagiri solution can be used in organic poultry production:

  1. Deworming: Tagiri solution has anthelmintic properties and can help in controlling internal parasites in poultry. It can be added to the drinking water of the birds for a few days to help eliminate internal parasites.


  2. Immune booster: Tagiri solution contains antioxidants that can boost the bird's immune system and improve their resistance to diseases. By adding Tagiri solution to their drinking water, the birds can develop a stronger immune system that can protect them from common diseases.


  3. Improves digestion: The extract from the Christmas Melon plant has been shown to contain enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food in the digestive system. By improving digestion, the birds can absorb more nutrients from their feed, which can improve their growth and overall health.


  4. Reduces stress: Tagiri solution has a calming effect on birds and can help in reducing stress levels. This can be particularly useful during transportation, handling, and other stressful events that can negatively affect the birds' well-being




3. Use of Ginger Garlic

Ginger and garlic are two natural remedies that have been used in organic poultry production for their numerous benefits. Here are some ways in which ginger and garlic can be used in organic poultry production:

  1. Immune booster: Both ginger and garlic contain compounds that have been shown to enhance the bird's immune system and improve their resistance to diseases. By adding ginger and garlic to the bird's feed or water, the birds can develop a stronger immune system that can protect them from common diseases.

  2. Antibacterial and antifungal properties: Ginger and garlic have antimicrobial properties and can help in controlling bacterial and fungal infections in poultry. Adding ginger and garlic to their feed or water can help reduce the occurrence of common bacterial and fungal infections, such as E. coli and Aspergillosis.

  3. Digestive health: Ginger and garlic can improve the digestive health of poultry by aiding in the breakdown of food in the digestive system. This can improve nutrient absorption, which can improve their growth and overall health.

  4. Repellent properties: Ginger and garlic have natural repellent properties and can help in controlling external parasites, such as mites and lice. Applying ginger and garlic extracts to the bird's skin can help in repelling these parasites, reducing the risk of infestation
