    In a virgin farm or Broiler house, it is possible to raise Broilers from day old to table size without additional vaccination besides the one given in hatchery with good feeding,top biosecurity measures, sanitized drinking water,sound litter management, good ventilation and use of coccidiostats and broad spectrum antibiotics to take care of hatchery to farm infections, such as pullorum,omphalitis,etc.

    Conversely,it is risky not to vaccinate birds from day old to market weight where Broiler house is located in a disease endemic area,most especially where many broilers farms are in a stone throw to one another.This is because of their is strong tendency for Broilers in one farm to contract diseases from another farm due to proximity.

    It is possible, though the bio security must be close to 100%. You also have to be sure you pen was/is at optimum condition required to raise healthy birds. All stressors must be carefully attended to and prevented during the course of raising those birds

    Yes, broiler birds can be raised to table size with good feeds and water, along with proper management and biosecurity measures, without additional vaccinations beyond those done at the hatchery. However, this approach requires careful consideration of several factors:<div>
    </div><div>Key Factors for Success</div><div>1. *Biosecurity*: Implementing strict biosecurity measures to prevent disease introduction and spread.</div><div>2. *Nutrition*: Providing high-quality feeds that meet the nutritional needs of broiler birds.</div><div>3. *Water quality*: Ensuring access to clean, fresh water at all times.</div><div>4. *Health monitoring*: Regularly monitoring the health of the birds and taking prompt action in case of any issues.</div><div>5. *Management*: Maintaining a clean, well-ventilated, and stress-free environment.</div><div>
    </div><div>Potential Risks</div><div>1. *Disease outbreaks*: Without additional vaccinations, the birds may be more susceptible to diseases.</div><div>2. *Increased mortality*: Poor management, nutrition, or biosecurity can lead to increased mortality rates.</div><div>
    </div><div>Best Practices</div><div>1. *Follow veterinary advice*: Consult with a veterinarian to determine the best approach for your specific situation.</div><div>2. *Implement integrated pest management*: Control pests and rodents to reduce disease transmission.</div><div>3. *Maintain good hygiene*: Regularly clean and disinfect the broiler house and equipment.</div><div>
    </div><div>By following these guidelines and best practices, it’s possible to raise broiler birds to table size without additional vaccinations, but it’s crucial to be aware of the potential risks and take steps to mitigate them.</div>

    I have raised more than 6,000 broilers without vaccinating them. That is when I was raising them without the use of antibiotics. Yes, it is possible.
