Pavore9: 2-3 weeks takes care of the nursery stage of most of cabbage varieties l know of. Improved seeds are easily accessible here in Nairobi, there is a street called Kijiabe, it has about 5 seeds companies on that stretch. You go through the shelves where one is spoilt for choice especially the veggies sections. You get to sit one on one with a staff who advises what seeds are best for your location and how to go about its cultivation. Funny enough, 3 of the seed companies told me they regularly get calls and emails from Nigeria.
I guess with time, we will get there. GOOD BUSINESS IDEA. |

Hipsofagoddess: Good evening all, please I need your help and guidance. I'm planning on going into tomato planting and poultry(layers). How do I go about it. I would love to get a land in Ikorodu, how much would 3 plots of land cost? How much is point of lay? Where can I get good tomato seeds? How much would the construction of the bird cage cost? What are the things I need to put in place for the project to be a successful one?
I would appreciate your answers. Thanks. Firstly,you need a business plan togive you direction. Secondly,you need to understudy a poultry farmer and a tomato farmer. Or a farmer that practice both. Then you need capital and the other things. |

Can anyone recommend a trusted farm where I can purchase POLs? My farm is located close to Asaba in Delta State.
Thank you. You can start with pol or poc. But u must be careful based on the pol of lay you wants to buy, because some pol vaccination and medication is not complete and the seller will just sell it to gullible members of the public |

Jofez: That should be a respiratory distress in order words CRD. Few things could cause that. The maize in the feed if not well dried, mild form of Newcastle or the pneumotropic strain could come with respiratory distress too. Crd itself could be the major cause but post morterm will give you the final answer. I will tell you how I handle such case but remember what works for me may not work for you when it comes to poultry. If no mortality for PM, I administer garlic and ginger when the symptoms are not well pronounced. It will only work at the early stage of the onset of the disease. Then vaccinate against Newcastle disease. If symptom persist, I administer Tylo-fura or tylodox. If I have any mortality I treat based on the lesions I observed. My little opinion though. . . Thank you. I stand to be corrected! My Dr |
