Do u supply animal-drawn plough and other such implements?

Keefarms: Lets converge at www.agricnetwork.com, there is a section for poultry farms. Hopin to hear your stories and testimonies. Lets share our ideas and ask questions. Thanks and God bless

..
I'm already a member. I think u hav to engage in a largescale campaign to make it more active.

Nwogbe: Farmtech when exactly did ur birds start laying? I got mine from farm support too and they started at exactly 18wks and 3days. Wanna compare a scenario. Thnks

..
Mine started laying on the 20th week. Congratulation

Obiagelli: i thought poultry assc. Should be more ideal. Anyway to many associations, almost no advantage joining them.

..
Let me just try and see.

Nwogbe: Farmtech when did ur birds drop? I got mine from farmsupport too and they dropped at exactly 18wks and 3days(last Friday) buh they are slow in picking up. 1 3 4 3 5 is d sequence which i hv experienced. Is it normal? Cos i was expecting a geometric sequence.

..
Mine started laying at week 20, but I cant remember hw the increase really went. That info is in my faulty pc, when i get it I'll let u know. Meanwhile, keep feeding them well (dont over- or under-feed) and give them multivit from time to time. Congratulation.

pet01: At least we should thankGod we are back on discussions and hope to make up for lost supportive ideas.
How are are or birds doing?

..
Yes, we shud thank God. After several illnesses, they're now doing fine in this cool weather. We've also installed 2 fans for them.

I'm also interested, but I wont be going into it now. Will be following this thread

inno10: If @ 28weeks dey produce just 12 eggs per day with 350 birds, something is wrong. About the feed, u should feed them in the morning and evening. The total feed 350 layers should consumed per day is 35kg (which is 1 bag plus 10kg of feed). and your water must be sufficient 24/7. then get multivitamin it looks like blood tonic, put 4 spoon of it into a bucket of water and mix with your hand, replicate it so that it wl b sufficient for 350, give them for one week. I blv u wl see changes.

..
Isnt 35kg feed per day too small for 350 birds?

I've once visited the great farm.

True talk.

Following. It's a pity that all those useful threads were lost.

Follow the instructn u see in the drug. What did the instructn say? Also, what is wrong with ur birds?

yemmit90: Thanks guy, really appreciate your replies. Our target is 2kg between 5-6weeks. Still feeding them 'Grower Mash' till next 3days to achieve maximum life body weight before we start giving them 'Finisher Mash'

..
How long do u feed them starter, grower and finisher. Which brand of finisher are u using?

Obiagelli: [color=slategrey] yes o, i am still waiting for Afam4eva to respond, i read i can have shrimps and tilapia in the same pond and the shrimps actually feed on tilapia waste.

How are your birds doing?

Afam4eva, Afam4eva, Afam4eva. Please respond na. [/color]

..
My birds are fine oo. This shrimp-tilapia stuff I really like. Pls let me know when u start.
..
I once saw myself in a dream raising crabs, so I'm thinking if I shud add shrimps to it, it's not a bad thing.

U feed 350 layers only one bag per day? Not only that, u also feed them once a day. Chei!! That's where u get it wrong bro. Layers of that age shud be eating about 0.125kg per bird per day. 4or the 350 birds it is 43.75kg feed per day. One bag is 25kg, so ur birds shud be eating 1 bag and 19kg of feed. 19kg is half bag plus 6.5kg. So therefore, ur birds shud be consuming slightly over 1 and half bag per day.
..
When u start feeding them well, it may take a week or two b4 u start seeing a positive result. Wish u good luck, birds can eat...

[quote author=Juan_De_Dios]I heard pigs sometimes attack people. Is it true?[/quote]..
I dont think it's common. But u can prevent that by using a board as u approach them. Use it to guide against ur legs.

Following.

baba11: pls explain, what I know is that when u touch their new born babies, the mother will not go near it again

..
That is only likely to happen if u touch a dog, cat etc b4 touching the baby. It is advisable to rub ur hand on the mother 1st so that the babies will smell like the mother.

baba11: to get form,it's 1k+others...if you don't mind I can give u their links even that of their president...any question u want to ask,you are free to ask him!!!

..
Thanks. Right now i'm nt into catfish farming tho. Just asking. The one I'm about to register for now is all farmers associatn of nigeria. They said it's 3.15k.

Following and bumping.

Nwogbe: Interesting. Following.........
@Farmtech ur thread go wit d nl hacking?

..
Nna ehh, just like that oh. I could only recover 2 pages from Google cache. What a pity. But i still have some of my replies in my computer.

baba11: To prevent these trials and errors,y can't u join cafan?they are the recognised body on fish farming in Nigeria....

..
How much does it cost to join?

I'm in anambra and I rear over 500 layers. Which side are u? I'm at Nkpor.

agonbello: The basic unit operations in Fish Smoking are:

1. CLEANING

The fishes are bled, gutted and gilled to remove the agent of deterioration by using clean knife.

2. BRINING

The cleaned fish are soaked in salt solution (30% salt)

3. SMOKE DRYING

The heating chamber is filled with charcoal and charge by fire. The cleaned or treated fish is loaded into trays and feed into the kiln. Drying is
considered adequate when the moisture content has been reduced to about 25%.

4. PACKAGING

The smoked fish is package neatly in transparent cellophane nylon ready for sales.(FIIRO)

..
Pls how do u know when moisture content is below 25%.

dyoungforester: Do you know that or have seen your rabbit eating their faeces once in a while?

..
According to wot I've read, they do so to recover the nutrient in the dropping. They usually eat the soft pellets.

samshoz: Oga, am a learner and a part time passionate farmer. Am practicalising wat i learnt online

..
To practice wot u read is v good. But we can still learn from the little experience you've acquired. You're far better than people like me that hav nt practiced at all.

I've read tons of ebook about it. But I've not done any practice yet. Following.

dgitrader: wow, great lnsights. saved this page. will contact you soon. but dyoungforester... rather than having several threads on rabbit, why not start a single dedicated rabbit thread? i suggest you start one since you r quite knowlegdable on rabbits.

..
I dont prefer that kind of thread. Can you imagine a new person reading thru over 300 pages? The best, just like in other forums, is to start a new thread for a new topic. Threads are meant to be focus.

dgitrader: this is the prototype.

..
I think in this our tropics, you'll need a cage that is more open due to heat. But during cold period and when it is windy, you'll hav to cover the sides with tarpauline.

samshoz: My wood cage floor is metal, like that of poultry, for the poops to fall on ground. I put a bulb for light atimes at night. Hope its ok? Am a starter, i want to learn. Oga farmtech, u are on this thread too! From poultry to rabbitry........i wana be like u. Am regular on ur fb f/joint grp.

..
Wow, so you're in Farmersjoint, I'm happy to hear that. Maybe you should be giving us some tutorials there. I'll appreciate that a lot. Right now, I'm considering starting up a rabbitry too.

So all our discussions so far has been lost? What a pity!
