Mrceragem:
nice move but always always adhere to biosecurity,

can you also use wire fence to secure your perimeter in you cannt fence all your farm now

gadegunle:
While construction was going on, we got a graphic designer to design a logo for the company and we ended up picking this one.

After getting the logo we opened social media accounts on Instagram and a Facebook page.
@gloriousfield_ and gloriousfieldagric.
We also opened a company email gloriousfieldagric@gmail.com.
We linked our instagram to the Facebook page and also to the WhatsApp business.

*To use WhatsApp for business you simply go to playstore on android and download it.
It has catalogue for products information and all.

gadegunle:


Thanks so much for your contribution and advise.
We have fenced the plots where we have poultry pen and the farm house.

I will upload more pictures soon.

The wire fence is a very good one infact if we knew we would have used it for some parts.

gadegunle:
We continued with the construction and fenced 3 plots where we have the poultry pen,farm house and space for cat fish.

Then we decided to do do bore hole for water,this took us alot of time and we did it twice before getting water to run the farm.

After the bore hole was working we covered the pen with thick nylon all around.
We got feeders,and every accessory needed for the poultry.Rememver I said we did egg production before but this time around we also got broilers as there is a chicken processing plant beside us very big thr manager kept on disturbing us to breed broilers so they can buy from us to process.

We were abit skeptical at first but later succumbed and it almost landed us in debts.

That's a story for another day

(I have tried to upload the pictures but its giving me error.)

pls watch focus on their method of charcoal heater and how they group the dayold chick in batches of 100

gadegunle:


No I don't know shika layers

gadegunle:


This method is nice and innovative sir.
Thanks for sharing

gadegunle:
For the cat fish we dug a concrete pit but the casting was not done properly and unfortunately as we poured 1000 fingerlings inside it all the water drained out and the 1000 cat fishes died.

We really felt bad but decided not to give up so the man who got the fingerlings from told us about 5000 litres tanks and we decided to get two.

See the pictures below

We have 1000 fingerlings in each 5000 litres tank

Mrceragem:


one of the best layer develop in zaira (Kaduna)
The Shika Brown chicken breed is the preferred layer strain in Nigeria. Its characteristics include excellent shell quality, high production rate, persistency, egg weight, liveability, and feed conversion.

Iseoluwani:


I must say, you guys are rich. it's not easy going into poultry, dogs, chicken at. the same time with building and innovations. m impressed because both of you never give up. am more impressed because both of you found your right calling, most impressed because you see your future and you took your present serious I wont be surprised when Grace field agric limited becomes a household name in agric. my sincere prayer is that God will keep your marriage. pls continue. don't be discouraged.

pls show me more.
However if you would help with some breakdown like cost of
dogs, cost of fingerlings, what do u feed your dogs,

have u though of Goats and rams biz.

You can risk cows biz too even if It is just 3. since you want to touch all aspect. I love animal husbandry slot as compared to crop production.


always do well to mention me

gadegunle:


Good afternoon sir, Happy Sunday.
Thanks for your intellectual contributions
I googled the shika brown chicken too and read so much about them.
I must say agriculture will continue to evolve as knowledge is increasing.

gadegunle:
Happy Sunday everyone,
I know the economy has really hit the poultry industry due to the lockdown many farmers could not produce maize and hence the little we have available many middle men have hoard it and this triggered high cost of poultry feeds.

Many poultry farmers sold their birds and incured terrible loses ,many are still at the verge of selling off everything and many don't even know what to do.

One thing is sure we must not give up we must be innovative and resilient.

Some solutions.
1. You can try organic poultry farming ( I don't know much about this but I have come across many threads on nairaland)
2. You can also make your feeds yourself to reduce the costs of production too

3. You can plant maize if you have space

Every business comes with trying times but no condition is permanent.

*I also want to ask does any one have an idea other options to getting battery cage for layers?

Thanks

Mrceragem:


I meant that is there any other option asides buying battery cage for layers?

Battery cages are expensive right now.

Thanks

what exactly do you mean
*I also want to ask does any one have an idea other options to getting battery cage for layers?

@iseoluwani
Happy Sunday sir and I say a big Amen to all your prayers.

The company's name is Glorious Field agric and investment limited, Grace field was not approved.


Well we are trusting God not to be discouraged as it is not funny that the Nigerian government is not supporting farmers but surely God's grace is sufficient.

* We got cat fish fingerlings #15 per one

* We feed the dogs Royal Canin and booster they have really grown now ,I will update their pictures soon.

* We had livestock in mind because we did it before( goat and ram )some years back but due to the cost of feeding the poultry birds we won't be venturing into that for now.

* Another aspect we currently focus on is food processing and packaging( more updates on this as well)

Thanks so much for your contributions and kinds words
God bless you.
