@mellin. .where can I get Hybrid snail?

..
Hybrid snail? I've not heard about that oo. Better go with the common ones around us because there is market for them. Anything different might be difficult to sell. I am waiting for the day when there will be 6 months broiler snail.

Starting with 5 layers? How will you vaccinate them? The least dose vaccines comes with is 200 doses, though I heard that 50 dose now exist.

topdiva:
try probiotics

..
Pls which brand of probiotics do you know?

I think you can start goat/sheep/rabbit farming with that, but at a very small scale and you'll have to build their pen yourself.

rubris4u:
Right now they eat abt 50kg/day.often times,early in the morning when i empty their feeders of the previous day feed and weigh it,its about 8-10kg guess it is because at midday the heat is always much.
I feed them early in the morning and refresh their feeders around 3pm. i dont have light on the farm now & i dont want to photostimulate them.

..
You have to tackle the heat problem using the tips listed here: http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-Chickens-Raising-Chicken-in-Hot-Climates. How are they doing now?

Ura:
1. What farm did you buy from?
2. Is their growth looking uniform?
3. Is their brown colour the same? Or are they a mixture of dark browns and light brown?

..
Why did you ask no. 3 questn? I'll like to know.

The lenght of buildings shud run in east-west direction to avoid sunlight from shinning into the house.

Interesting concept. Following.

fishleg123:
good day farmers in d house, my black layer birds, 190 pieces in number are now 6 months old. they are now laying average of 80 eggs per day. the issue is that rain entered their pen and wet some of them, and d saw dust became soaked with water. now d saw dust has been changed with new one and birds feathers are dried.
d question is this: do I need to treat them to prevent any sickness and which drug do I need to apply.
thanks.

..
They have been stressed, so give them vitamins and an antibiotic like tylodox.

bigiyaro:
they r sick n abt four had died, they r not eatin n drinkin like before.their fethers appear rough The vaccine ws gumboro

..
Next time don't vaccinate sick birds with live vaccines. Treat them first and when they're well, wait 2-3 days before vaccinating.

How is it going?

Sprintson:
advisable you procure from reputable private farms or better still try Government farms like arac ph....you should be careful when transporting as they are fragile and can die....when you are ready i will give you the procedures via chazereel@gmail.com

..
Thanks bro, I've also heard of Durantee fishery Ibadan.

LUCASC:
My brothers I grt u all, pls I want to invest in a egg laying production and fishery pls what are d requirements go start am planning to invest heavily in Asaba, will 2 plots of land be enough for 5000 birds and 1000 juveniles.

..
For layers, budget like 1k per bird to cover feeding, vaccination, medication cost. Space requirement is 5 birds per m2.

bushdoc9919:
That's true....sad really.



Good...



Misreading scripture....are we?

Everybody practiced slavery back then.What God was doing here was prescribing laws for the treatment of slaves.
Besides, slaves were subject to the laws of Israel....and a Jew could be punished for harming a slave...but let's go on.




First, you are misreading the whole purpose of the verse.According to the article Slavery on the Christian Think tank website....this may refer to marriage...not slavery.Plus...there are verses stating that the lass is not to be mistreated.



Well...this refers to intimacy contact....not other forms of contact.



The altar is centrally located....at the tabernacle.Plus...the neighbours were likely to be Jews.And anyways....Christ's sacrifice negates such.



Can you work for 24/7 without dropping? NEXT!



Shellfish do accumulate all sorts of pollutants....and anyway....God no longer judges us by the Law....



You think that God ain't merciful?



Ah well....you go ahead! (We are not under law).



Some American footies are now made of synthetics. What's the issue.?





Well....Iam born again...and I still think you as a gay man are worthy of God's love.

The question is.....are you ready to please God..? Not the homophobes or the people who like gays.....God?

Are you willing to trust God even if it is irrational.

I know....I may not be gay...but I have lots of desires for the opposite sex.Yet God gave me these desires....and says I can only have one wife.Isn't fair to me....but I have to trust God somehow that he means best.

And anyway.....this life isn't all there is.

Apologies to anyone I may have hurt. Christianity is a difficult and unreasonable religion.....but then again....it commands us to believe that God loves us.....even when it does not seem so.

May modify this post....my internet connection is iffy.

..
You've said a lot bro. The problem with people like this is that they don't study their bible, they just read it. It is only people that read their bible that will come out and say that the bible is contradictory. Just as we study maths, we also study the bible. The badest part is many ignoramus will follow this man to hell. May God have mercy!

excess4luv:
am using tank for now but will soon get tarpaulin pond, yes there is water source.

..
The catfish thread on nairaland will be a great resource for you.

Fornicators, God will judge.

LajaLaba:
God punish Boko

..
Well well. If not for them and ethnic killings, I would have establish my farm in the north after service.

endy247:
yes o, i noticed some symptoms of coryza in some of them, so the keproceryl how effective was it.

..
Since I've not compare it with other drugs mentioned here, I can't really tell. But I checked my record book and found out we actually used tylodox, keproceryl and multivit. Some still died despite medication. Did u vaccinate for coryza?

suwailad:
The world must arise to put an end to ISLAMISTS and destroy these terrorists
We need the New World Order now, enough of these babarism

..
Are you ready to abide by the terms it will come with? Ignorance of the highest level.

freelife4all:
Good morning bro, i want know if the land is still available for lease at 1500, and too is there any form of security in the farm to prevent criminals from stealing the farm produce. And again, what about the villager and other form of youth group that may come to disturb farm owners with payments of levy and other fees. Thanks.

..
You missed this oga Hotmass. The last thing I'll want is some useless youths.

endy247:
Fellow farmers pls has anybody treated infectous coryza b4, which drug did u use dat was effective. Thanks 4 ur reply.

..
I used keproceryl and multivit, but next time I'll use the vaccine. So Endy are they having problem again?

Find markets first before planting and it's better to start small and experiment. In the future you may incorporate both crop and animal.

kelvin96:
tylocare is good too. Good luck .

..
Or any drug containing tylosin and/or doxycycline

sleekman:
somewhere in Agungi. In one of those stagnant waters btw Agungi and Osapa.

..
It usually thrive in stagnant waters. I'll be looking around my area.

samuel25:
Well done to all farmers in the house. Please I notice greenish dropping from my layers recently and I gave them LaSota after which the greenish dropping became more visible and dominant. Although, their production is not affected and they look healthy, only that I'm disturbed by predominant greenish dropping after LaSota administration. Is there any cause for alarm?

..
Hmm! Be very careful next time oo. Vaccinating sick birds with live vaccine can lead to heavy mortality. You could have treated with tylodox or neomycin and vaccinate 3 days after treatment.

OLAMIMO12:
i dont know what might have gone wrong. pls guide and re-direct me.

..
Go to the section you want, if it is agric, go to agric section and search for "create new topic"

sleekman:
I think I have seen duckweed somewhere in d wild here in Lekki. I'll need a botanist to confirm.

..
Compare with google images. Which water did you see it in?

jasper7:
yes o.. sorry, network in saki is just horrible.. it has been a battle all along. we tried planting without mulching film but the area is very vegetative and the grass grows like hybrid. and we have to weed every 3 days. we decided it's not worth the stress, so we decided to mulch.

But our test project has grown and is fruiting. I'll upload the pictures soon.

..
I don't know if false seed beds will be of any use to farmers that can't afford artificial mulch or have time to apply organic mulch. It involves making the seed bed without planting. Because of the loose soil, the weeds will grow and can be removed. This can be repeated before planting.
