Wow interesting. I have been looking for a clean. Source of energy that I can Uuse for my projects. I'll research more on this and test on a small scale. Sorry for any disturbances caused by this but can you summarise Alll the procedures for doinng this. M nt currently in lagos. My Internet is horrible. The video won't load

..
The basic is to enclose organic matter to exclude air. Then you tap the gas produced and have an inlet and outlet.

@ Pavore, It seems u know aghamelum well.
I plan to go into agric and am thinking of buying land from umuleri/otuocha/ anaku ....
Am considering casava , palm or plantain plantation. i know plantain thrives well in umeri
Currently doing rsearch on the plants. Bt sumtin crossed my mind- they fight a lot and i dont know if they burn farmlands during such. Also , d last flood , a lot of them were affected. What do u think abt the raised fears?

I had dt apart fromthe listed crops, yam is big busines in Anam. A lady told me she did combined farming with a poor villager. She made double the amount she invested. The profit was shared equally, dt means d return was abt 200 percent.

I already have a contact dt can assist in umeri and anaku in sourcng for the farmland but ive nt yet discussed with him. Am still making my research.

How far have you gone with this?

When compared to smoking, which one consume more fuel?

tomiobj:
. Nw I see it. But why is thhe quality thatt bad.


I'll try as much as possible to do this if it's within my power after watching. Can this be doone with human/poultry waste

..
You have to watch out for carbon-nitrogen ratio, else you will be disappointed. Using only chicken manure which have very low c/n ratio will not work, what you'll likely get in ammonia smell. C/n ratio shud be 20-30. You can adjust it by combining one material with low c/n ratio and another one with high c/n ratio, eg chicken manure and rice hull, etc. The calculation can be found in the link above.

I think I can be of help. Our Solution is not necessarily about energy generation but conservation. Rate of energy consumption is what is critical in determining profitability.

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration account for over 70% of energy costs in buildings and factories. Our Solacoat Energy Efficient technology guarantees 30-40% reduction in air conditioning costs and 10-15% reduction in total fuel consumption in power generating sets.

For example, If a single branch of a bank consumes 100,000 litres of diesel in one month. We are saying that our technology can reduce that amount by 10,000 litres. Lets say a litre of diesel goes for #100 (which we know costs more), that translates to #1,000,000 saving in one month. Now, multiply that by 12 months and total number of branches (buildings) of the bank, hotel, school, hospital, warehouse, estate etc.

As for solving problems of high sun radiation and achieving gas tightness using waterproofing, our technology is exactly what you need. All you need is 2-3 coats of a Heat Reflective System with very high reflectance and emittance capabilities. We give ten years documented guaranty on our product.

This technology has been used by global companies like Coca Cola, and in countries like Singapore, Netherlands, UAE, Australia and more, and the results were amazing.

What I actually asked for is a sun resistant polythene/tarpauline etc. Gastight too.

yuh2:
I've done something like this before though i encountered a challenge i'm still trying to decipher
that is compressing the biogas into a cylinder

..
Do you think this will work, using fridge compressor. How did you build yours?

doctormalik:
370 per kg. I can pick minimum of 1000. I can buy from Ibadan very well.

..
Broiler farmers in the house, is this realistic?

pharmmylovey:
Please house, I need your candid opinion and guidance on this business I intend going into. I have been a farmer for like 5years now. I majorly did egg during this period, occaionally broilers and cockerels.Now I want to go into boilers in large quantity since I have facility to do so. I need consistent market as I want to be selling every month. I need reliable buyers' contact and the hatchery that have best D.O.C. Every advice is welcome. Thanks for your help.

..
You can also make a list of fast food outlets and hotels in your area and make a deal with them.

tabontabon:
Pls note,when you start photostimulation,it has to be continous and constant. Else, there would be sharp post peak production decline,which may not be recoverable.

..
True talk. He should also start it when at least 80% of the birds have attain 1.5kg.

sheyi86:
God bless u sir more wisdon IN JESUS NAME.THANKS

Amen.

Keep it up bro.

I just hope this is not a market strategy to kill competitors. This one tomato processing companies are springing up here and there. Anyway, I support ban on importation of what we can produce.

How many kg per bag?

brownskingirl:
Does amytotal extra decline egg production. N wat drugs will mk my laying lay more eggs. Not on n off.

..
Do you mean Amin'total? One way to increase egg production is by giving them extra light at night. Switch on at 6pm and off at 10pm. But increase it gradually.

justified19:
they are on deep litters, which chemical will I wash it with? my vet prescribed amprocox nd av bn giving dem

..
Go for lab test bc that's better. Go with a dead bird and some sick birds. If you can't, try giving conflox and tylodox. I once had a similar experience.

tucurj:
Its Top Feed Concentrate For Layers,whats Written On The Bag Is 40% Layer Concentrate And You Only Need To Add 60 Maize

..
Ok

@Mercilicious you have a GREAT plan there and I too have a similar plan. There is nothing as good as having everything in one place and going for cheaper but effective solutions like the earthen pond you talked about. Keep me close because I'll freely and happily help you in anyway I can. @Judithume, depending on where you live you can place your cage in front of your house and sell from there, or you can go to a market and contact those that buy old layers in bulk. In Onitsha you can find them at newparts market, I don't know about Nnewi but you can ask around.

Sometimes I ask why God created snakes. Deadly ropes.

Pavore9:
This biodigester (the one with canvass/tarpaulin) is the owner's patent so the thickness and quality of the canvass is not in my privy!

..
I really wonder if they sell sun-resistant and gas tight tarpaulines or waterproof in nigeria, anyone know where I can get them?

sheyi86:
Ok sir, since u know it teach me nw atleast wit pic i wl understand.thnks

..
There are different types of digester, but the cheapest is the one they use sun-resistant waterproof to construct. They call it the bag digester and if you know plumbing you can build your own. With digester like that you don't put grass because it can block the outlet. You only use manure and some kitchen wastes. If you're looking for where to start educating yourself about biogas digesters, I wrote about them here.

omejeo:
Pls house help me my farm solder ant is coming there annd disturbing my birds pls help me on how to eradicate them.i am using otapiapia but it has no impacts thanks

..
Most importantly, keep the whole surroundings clean - no spilled feed, no droppings, no food waste etc. I found that I usually get the problem when I become lazy and allow the surrounding to get dirty. I usually burn them with fire, use salt water or dd force.

tucurj:
Pls House,how Many Kg Of Maize Will I Had To One Bag (25kg) Of Top Feed 40% Layer Concentrate.What Was Written On The Bag Is That I Only Need To Had 60 Maize But I Dont Understand The 60,pls Help Me Out.

..
I don't understand the question, what do you mean by 40 percent layer concentrate? Also how much kg are you mixing? Is it up to 1 ton?

So the seeds can be this costly.

aAK1:
farmtec so you served in minna? I am based in minna. I tried getting your number from your Facebook page. Please can you send me your number Adebayoadeolu5@gmail.com

..
Sorry for the delay, I'll email u as soon as possible.

I must surely build this thing one day, all I'm waiting for is when I get a farm I'll be staying for a long time.

Nice one buddy. I suggest you consider rearing some saleable animals that will provide you with plenty manure.

AkayTopsy:
Farmers in the house. Can anyone give a scientific explanation to the following:

Fig1: The Egg weighing 98grams.
Fig2: The cracked Egg carrying another shelled egg inside.
Fig3: The inner Egg after crack has a normal yolk and egg white.

Flock age: 24week old.

The average egg size of my flock is 55grams. Though on the average daily I get 1 or 2 extra large size egg, but they usually carry 2 yolks (not shelled egg like this one)

Any scientific explanation for this?

..
It's normal so far as it does not happen all the time. You'll likely see different kinds of abnormal eggs like the ones described here.

fishleg123:
Good morning house, pls, what is d exact amount of grower feed that a laying bird, 20 weeks old, should be eating for best performance.
Thanks.

..
There are charts where you can get that information from. There is one here. The one there is for hyline brown layers but I think Isa brown and shaver are the common layers available in nigeria. The feed they will need will be slightly higher than that of hyline, so you have to use it to get estimate values.

mercylicious:
@kevin,
plz share your result on gnld supergrow for poultry. did u notice any improvement on the test broilers?

@house, i heard from.unconfirmed sources that garlic helps in feed conversion to weight in broilers. has anyone tried it?

..
Health Benefits Of Garlic to chickens. I'll be testing it on my next batch of chicks.

You have some pictures?
