The First 7 Days Decide the Flock’s Future — Here’s How to Make Them Count
Raising a healthy broiler flock begins the moment chicks arrive on the farm. The first 7–10 days are crucial for establishing strong immunity, gut health, and stress resistance. Unfortunately, many farmers overlook this critical window — leading to high early mortality, poor vaccine response, and uneven growth.
At Medhouse Animal Health, we’ve developed a complete early-stage immunity program to help farmers build strong, resilient flocks from day one.
Why Early Immunity Matters in Broilers
- Chicks have immature immune systems and rely on external support
- Poor brooding, stress, and temperature changes suppress immune development
- Infections like IB, ND, CRD, and E. coli strike hardest in the first 2–3 weeks
- Without proper early nutrition and immune stimulation, vaccines may fail
Building immunity early reduces the need for costly treatments later and improves overall flock performance.
Medhouse Products for Immunity Building in Broiler Chicks
1. Emunolator/Amun Med – Immune System Activator
A targeted formulation to kick start immune system development.
- Usage: Day 1 to Day 5 (via drinking water)
- Benefits: Enhances immune organ development (thymus, bursa), prepares for vaccine response
- Ideal For: All broiler chicks
The foundation of Medhouse’s Golden First Week protocol.
2. Germomix/Lincoresis – Gut Health Stabilizer
A blend of beneficial microbes that colonize the gut and prevent harmful bacteria from taking hold.
- Usage: Day 2 to Day 7
- Benefits: Reduces early diarrhea, improves nutrient absorption, boosts immunity via gut flora
- Ideal For: Early brooding period and after antibiotic exposure
Healthy gut = strong immunity.
3. Pro Vit C – Anti-Stress & Antioxidant Support
Vitamin C + electrolytes for managing early stress, especially during transport or vaccinations.
- Usage: Day 3 to Day 6 and during any early stress event
- Benefits: Reduces oxidative stress, supports immune response, improves hydration
- Ideal For: Chicks under heat or vaccine stress
Chicks that drink more, grow more.
4. Multi Vita – Essential Multivitamin Support
A balanced vitamin blend to fill nutritional gaps in early life stages.
- Usage: Day 5 to Day 10
- Benefits: Improves appetite, reduces weakness, supports tissue growth and immunity
- Ideal For: All broiler flocks, especially in low-weight chicks
Stronger start = fewer losses later.
Medhouse’s “Golden First Week” Protocol
| Day | Product(s) to Use | Purpose |
| Day 1–2 | Emunolator/ Amun Med + Clean Warm Water | Immune activation + hydration |
| Day 2–4 | Germomix/ Lincoresis + Pro Vit C | Gut flora establishment + stress relief |
| Day 5–7 | Multi Vita + Pro Vit C (if needed) | Strength boost + ongoing immune support |
| Day 7+ | Growth promoter (e.g., G.A. Powder) | Begin performance enhancement phase |
Tips to Maximize Chick Immunity
- Maintain ideal brooding temperature (32–34°C) during the first week
- Provide clean water, refreshed twice daily
- Avoid overcrowding and ensure proper floor space
