Story for the gods........

.. I really wonder what you mean.

Eggcelent:
jamp. The weights of your birds is testimony that your staff have done a great job during your absence. Welcome Bro. endy247. Are your birds on deep litter? If yes, kindly take note of what davidzfarm18 suggested in addition to that of FarmTech. You may also wish to spray ashes in sufficient quantity on the litter. Success.

..
True.
..
I once tried mixing ash with sand and let them dust bath in it. But they ate up the sand. They can be very stupid.

endy247:
i gave them ivermectin wen i first noticed it last wk bt it's still there, maybe i'll try it again, i'm getting tired of dis birds sef.

..
Don't get tired oo, when they start giving u money now will u get tired? Is the lice too much? I too had the same problem but it wasn't much.

This shows that we are moving forward. Congrat Jasper.

endy247:
ok thanks, bt how can it be treated? cos i've noticed it in my birds and i'm suspecting dat it might be d reason they haven't started laying @21 weeks.

..
U can give them ivermectin. They normally start laying between 18 and 24 weeks.

EZEUDENE:
I av done dat

.. Did you send a message?

Stories on nairaland makes me feel that Benin is dangerous, cultists. Or are they over blowing it?

mercylicious:
Ubare welcome my dear. Together, we shall be better.

Amen oo.

EZEUDENE:
farm tech plz are u on watsapp I will like 2 show u sometin its urgent can't really upload it nw

..
My Nokia asha 200 is not compartible with whatsup. Can you meet me on facebook by the name Ikeme Henry?

noblefarm:
ok sir. pls u any of any poultry farm in Ilorin I can visit?

.. No, I don't stay that side.

Eggcelent:
Annabechick. Your pen won't do for the number you are looking at. You need to increase the width to at least 26 feet. segun1976. 85g/day for 18 weeks old pullets in cages is OK (according to ISA Brown Management Guide). However, I'll suggest you pick several of them at random (especially, the smaller ones), weigh them to see if they are up to 1.5kg. If yes, stick with the 85g/bird/day for the week; if no, increase it to the 95g suggested. Success.

..
Just to make him know that if he is to rely on natural ventilation (ie no fans), the width shud not exceed 9m. 26ft is still within good range.

mercylicious:
Guys, I have good news.
We have agric lands in Anambra!

One of us that hardly posts here has got farm land on lease , he is abt to start clearing and he intends to farm cassava.

The land is from Anambra forestry reserved area. The land is located at Ebenebe but d ministry has office at Nimo. You will have to pay n7500 to register with them (one off registration) then a lease of 4k per acre per year. He said u can use d land as long as you pay ur yearly lease.
I asked him if they have tractors and other farming machines, he said one can get that from the ministry of agric. DT he has a contact person there .
He also says they have water source close by.

..
MercyMercy! thanks for this tips!

Annabechick:
Hello house please am constructing a poultry house for 2000 birds but am not around to supervise the construction. Please this is the picture for the house its 20ft by 90 ft. I want to knw if it will house 2000 birds to maturity? pls i need ur opinion

..
Layers require 3 birds/m2 (deep litter). Checkout the link below for other breeds: http://www.fao.org/docrep/008/y5169e/y5169e05.htm.

segun1976:
Hello good people,
Please I need guidance on what quantity of feed I should be feeding my pullet.
They are currently 18wks 1day, ISA brown. A guide I saw on the website says 85g but the breeder who sold to me says about 95g.

From your experience, what do you suggest?

..
Check the plan here for Hyline brown. There feed consumption is slightly lower. http://www.farmersjoint.com/blog/livestock-farming/poultry/feed-consumption-plan-body-weight-target-laying-hens/.

noblefarm:
want to start with 3000 layers. help me out with what n what it'll take me to set it up, I have land available

..
That's huge. But I think as a first timer, you start with small and gain experience. But if you're so rich that making costly mistakes means nothing, of course u can go ahead.

bigiyaro:
am very happy to announce to d house dat i've jst completed my first broiler adventure, from DOC to maturity to sales. I really want to say a big heart felt 'thank u' to these great guys on this thread. EGGCELENT, DAVIZFARM, FARMTECH, KEVIN96 n all my oda ogas in d house, i say a big big thank u to u all. GRACIAS.

..
Welcome bro, I'm happy to hear that.

dyoungforester:
You can feed the rabbit with concentrated commercial feeds which is sold at ventinary shop I.e TOP grower feeds ( peletized), 2nd slower growth rate might be inherent but later on the rabbit will grow at a faster rate what you needs to do is to seclude the rabbit from others and continue to feeding the rabbit with a nurish feed with much fats content. Thanks Dyoung forester

..
Just to remind him not to feed layers feed bc of too much calcium - kidney stone.

Only them will know exactly why. But I know that mismanagement and theft are big problems. But don't let that discourage u. If u want to start after a training, research ur market first.

Rapture4real:
Your life before your money.God does not care about any amount you bring but your heart towards him.He can pay his money if he wishes because of law of sowing and reaping. Beyonce cannot come open her body dancing worldly song in the church because she pays her tithes in that church.God must be feared and honoured.

..
After every every it is ur life that God wants. If u like work in church all ur life or own everything in the world, they're all but vanity.

The church shud do more in preaching the real truth. Pastors shud warn their members of the consequencies of listening to or singing musics that glorify evil like sex, power, or money. Musicians who do such shud not be taken for as role models.

Congrats Mercylicious and Ezeudene. @Ezeudene, I don't know anything about turkeys. That's an area I fail to research on. But I believe some guys in other poultry threads can help. @Mercilicioous, keep us updated. I'll love to visit ur farm one day.

Apitch:
Oga the price is for the transportation n not the cow

.. Ok, I was rushing. Tnks.

shakazuldadon:
no evidence from you NEWLYREGISTERED on NL




OP... THEY MADE YOU HALL REP.... HOPE U werent vamping anyone.







1. I though philo is married.........


















2. susu looks like ice cream splattered on the floor. she looks like a footballer.






























3. PROUD MADONNA ALUMNI.....






For all those suffering some form of molestation, it do sent hurt to have some kind of evidence like an audio recording.... video spy pens are available in the market. if the op had a verifiable record (audio) or visual of what went on.. SUSU and PHILO would have been halfway to jail by now.

..
Where can I get this spy pen?

Catered4:
Matured cows sir

.. That's ridiculous price, though by the time u add transport cost.

Catered4:
A cow is N2000 to N2500 sir.

Is it a calf or mature cows?

Pavore9:
Let me go with this description.

lf you use the tarpaulin digester like the ones l have uploaded severally it digests the feedstock faster as against the underground system and generates more biogas. With what is readily available in Nigeria l will suggest you watch this short video, it will help you start out easier. l saw a Kenyan family in a rural area having 5 drums of digesters in their homestead as it is used for cooking and powering the 'l better pass my neighbour' sized generator in the evenings.

Thanks for the video.

Kayyhe:
@ Pavore9, thanks for the eye opener as regards the biogas. My question is what is the rate of consumption of a 300kg of biogas when used cooking and to power electrical gadget like 3000W output? Thanks in anticipation for a quick response

hmmm,That sound cool. .Ve you ever heard successful story 4rm snail Farmer? Do you think it will be easy To sell 10k snails?

Do you ve a snail Farm?

I'm making a Plan on hw to build my own snail farm that's why am asking all this question.

..
Actually, I've not seen a big snail farm b4, but don't be suprise that there might be, but in one bushy area or so. Selling the snails won't be sth u do all at once, u may sell in batches. Right now I too is planning to set up a small snail farm. The ones I have now are in a bowl.

The space u have, what is the dimension? Bc that's only how to know hw many it will contain.

Ok bro.
