Thanks to all for your contributions! for locating a good distributor I should be at a saver's side at Abbatoir @ excesiorfarm, I will consider 5kg after this time, it's insightful for me to know that early expiration of those feed could have a deadly influence. @roboski,u may not know how helpful your advice meant to me, I will follow it to the letter thanks! |

yemiakeem: Is it true dat fg is given out juvenilles and feed through GES Very true... The federal government was giving out 5 bags of feed and free fingerlings at a subsidized rate through cooperatives for registered farmers... But it has ended some weeks back.. I collected some feed myself but didn't collect the free fingerlings.. |
