I have already done this. Upto 300ft. Yet it gets filled up. Not giving the desired service. On inquiry, I discovered that it works only in areas with what they call circulation. I am really confused. I have hostile neighbours.
friends cant be hostile,maybe you had oppress them with your attitude before. That aside, iam not an engineer,but an agronomist/farmer. I think those that did your job lack experience or the knowledge of such drainage. 300ft for what? if close to benin visit saintugo to make verification & if going give my regards to him.
EducationRe: Is Becoming A Phd Holder Possible In Your 20s by excelsiorfarm(m): 11:42am On Dec 10, 2016
peacesamuel94:
I would like to find out, from experienced minds how possible it is, for me to acquire a doctorate degree, in my 20s. Presently I'm studying anatomy which is a 4 year course, and not up to 20 yet, and i would like to further my education to the doctorate level.

I'm asking the question because most PhD holders i've happened to come across are usually people, whose age bracket we can estimate to be, between (45-65years) which made me wonder why acquiring the degree takes so much time, hence my question.

Your replies, Will be very much appreciated.
possible. Dv after graduation & NYSC, go straight for Msc,normally 2years. Get at least 60% & qualify for PHD. PHD is normally 3years for fulltime. Important you avoid schools that complicate things for students.Focus on schools with knowledge as their yardstick on awarding degrees. All the best

Hello house,
Feeding 3 months catfish once per day to satiation
Is it ok?
Or will they shrank in size?
if you intend to sell good weight,feed at least twice. If after cutting fat, do once. They will not grow as expected, only good idea when you having extreme cold weather,to avoid pollution or when you want to cut back excessive fat from your broodstock.

Please what is the solution?
just get experts to drill hole of 4 inch pipe wide deep into the ground & channel all waste water into it.No one will know you do fish farming. I posted the picture of what it looks like years back when i was in benin to train someone on fish farming. then it cost 45-60k. NOTE: I dont do it,hence no need asking further

Ok thank's . now how do i deworm them .?
Visit a vet store, it could be liquid or powder,just give.If liquid,starve them of water first after or before feeding. Depends on the prescription or call a vet,though he wont do anything special for deworming

How much can i get small ram to rear in your state? and how many months can it take to born ? the same with goat and sheep? . what is the name of food that i can give that will make them very big ?.
iam in south west,i dont sell ram or kid. Some could be pregnant early,as low as 7-10 months,but wise you allow them reach 1year before you start making babies from them. They become sturdy,mature & most likely live longer to serve you. Your animals will be big if you deworm at least once in 3 months interval,dont feed them too much fresh or young plants,add protein like Gnc,full fat soya for finisher. Dont give wet grasses,they each most grasses,from andropogon spp to elephant grasses etc. My advice is discuss with those that sell in market to place an order when next they intend to bring from the north,except the goats you desire to raise is west african dwarf(those common short goats) or in the alternative,visit an animal or goat/sheep farm nearest to you.

This is coming late, but better late than never. Get a palm kernel bunch empty of its seeds, place it where the ants are, they will all storm the bunch, then set it on fire.

Who does aeration in Nigeria and what cost. How can one prepare a large pond that can contain 10k fishes.

1. Can laborers do it?

2. Or I need a machine, which? and what depth is good?
many use aeration,cost depends on your capacity. There are laborers,but if earthen & you are after speed maybe machine,though could be expensive & could still lack bagging to guard against collapse. Consider safety in deciding depth,maximum 4.5-5feet cos of harvest & incase of workers. You can choose to divide ponds to more than one unit for better evaluation. If you are a starter consider feeding cos,start with less number & get good guardian from a close practicing farmer. Also note that some could see you as an opportunity to rip you off your funds,so seek someone with good report.

Busayo1981:
Sir sorry for bothering you. Please when I observe my fishes are doing good, how often should I use the aquapro?
first consider cost & you can use weekly or fornightly. Make sure your water mgt is okay to reduce how often you treat your fishes

Pls sir, I've been following your thread for a while now and I've really learnt alot from u, don't stop educating us. I might be wrong sir, but i just observed your absence for sometime.... We hope to have u back soon. Carry on the good work

Busayo1981:
Sir, i really appreciate your response. I mixed the tetracycline in the food i feed them with yesterday and did not add water or reduce the level of water in my tank. Also, can i repeat the process today by reducing the water level and mixing tetracycline with their food? I used two and half sachet of tetracycline in their feed yesterday. thanks in anticipation
30 tablets? i could have encourage you use antibiotic with moderation,reason is for human health & so it wont allow your fishes develop resistance for future occurrence. If you notice improve dont use,maintain clean water. Otherwise a 3 days regime is normal to clear out any residue disease inherent in your fishes. All the Best.

Busayo1981:
Thank u sir. pls hw do I apply the tetracycline n aquapro.
dont mix. Aquapro when they are fine,just release some on water surface,0.25 of sachet,and your fishes will feed on it, then feed weekly,consider cost. For tetracycline,either you add to water by reducing it,later you top up or you mix with ready to give feed by adding little moist. Nafdac already ban use of some antibiotic,hence not sure if tetracycline makes the list,so aquapro is good also if you confirm the former is in the list.

Hello fellow farmers, my fishes r one week old in my pond and I observed that they have swollen tummy and a lot of dem do hang on water. when I want to feed them they are very active but after one hour of feeding they start to hang. @Robonski, @excelsior, @ab1x kindly advice on what I should do please
adhere to ab1x, bacteria issue & watch your feeding,try improve water mgt. When you are visibly settle the issue,get aquapro & if you use it occasionally,you might never have need for antibiotic again

My fellow experienced farmer, please I need your help. I've been noticing one of my fish since 3day now that it swim almost sideways, and the side of its stomach is swollen, hence that side tends to face upside while swimming. Please what can I do?
remove the fish to a clean separate tank, dont feed for 2days,get a fish approve antibiotic accessible in your area & apply as prescribe,clean water is key

Evening, sir. I got Aqua-Dex plus from the vet store. The vet doctor instructed me to mix two tablespoons with 1kg of feeds and air dry so I can feed the fish.
The instructions there also says the pond water should be drained to the barest minimum and 100g of the drugs be mixed and left for four hours before topping the water again. The 100g is for 800-1000 fish and mine is just over 450 so will it be right to put 50g,, which is half of 100g?
Kind regards.
just saw,being busy. The vet should know what he/she is saying,possibly he had tested it,i haven't use it,just follow the instruction,but i also recommend that you observe their response in the solution.If any abnormal reaction or behaviour overtime,flush with flesh water. It is well
