Sir, this v-mix, what positive impact does it has on your birds?

Have you raised birds with and without the v-mix? What difference did you notice?


Thanks.

we r in trouble in uyo o. no feed for birds. nduk uke mbok?

That is the reason why we need not depend too much on this so called white people.we need to embrace mechanisation and use science ,technology and engineering to develop our agric sector most especially cropping.we need to stop importations of some agric produce.This we encourage and improve local productions of soya , maize,ground but etc.

You mean a business owner should give incentives after salary to stop his/her staff from stealing?

Na wa o, sorry for the rogue staff. I was discussing animal farming in absentia with a friend last time n he joked that some workers might abscond with the animals one day PLUS the shed/pen if at all possible! grin

I was just a joke. To imagine that you're even there on ground.

So it really happens. Pele.

The right thing is to use that money and install motion-activated cameras at strategic places. That way, you can monitor how much feed they actually give per day, how many shud be left etc.

Not often, once a while. It motivates and the rational ones may become loyal i think. I think cctv may help more though.

That would be ok if he can afford the cost, but their are independent cameras that you can always playback to see all that happened - the number of bags removed, the number of bags fed etc.

@fnk what u should do is 2 make a complaint @ d nearest police station. Get d services of a good lawyer who has got good backhand tactics. Push for d case 2 head 2 court. Push 4 a speedy trial. Once convicted. Paste their photographs on d wall for future employees.

To get a fertile egg is not always as easy as u may be thinking,except you don't mind a less performing chicks. you may need a brief knowledge of genetics to understand what inbreeding is all about

You may need to raise your own breeders...Male and female broilers who will mate and give you fertile eggs. It's not an ABC thing, you must be ready to perfect the act...
