What are the disadvantages to using sand?
.
It can cause problem if the grains are small. See this https://www.thefeatherbrain.com/blog/sand-chicken-coop-bedding?format=amp.
.
How will you clean out 2 truck load of sand plus accumulated manure? Deep litter would be better oo.

Na the expense deh give me headache o. And I think sand absorbs their poos better. I don't plan to clean for at least six months. I hope to have enough sand. Like two truckloads.

You better use sawdust. With lactobacillus serum, you can control the smell.

How often do I need to apply for maximum control?
Any other chemical if I'm unable to locate this one in my area?
.
I dont know how often. But if I'm to do it myself, I will apply 2x - when the tuber starts forming and 2 months before harvesting. But note that irrigation is needed after applying.

As for alternative to Rocket, I don't know. But I believe you will find if you search hard enof.

Help pls can someone help me my pullet are having strong CRD and their face is swollen, thick catarrah coming out of their nose, making loud noises at night and raising their mouth up like they have difficulty breathing. Can someone recommend what i can use am currently using typanor cos tylodox is very costly now.
Amoxicillin, oxytetracycline, erythromycin, spiramycin, lincomycin, quinolones, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, levofloxacin, tiamulin, levofloxacin.

For E coli that may accompany crd, add colistin or Neomycin to any of the above drugs.

You have to reduce environmental stress too for drugs to be effective. Avoid overcrowding, high or too low temperature, dust and ammonia smell from droppings. Warning: Ammonia smell from droppings will keep causing disease outbreaks. Keep their pen clean and don't allow droppings to accumulate.

Kizzygentle:
When a person dies, its his time.. The nurses may be reckless and careless about their duty but its his time.. Some person(s) also actually cheat death ( not the person(s) time).. Death is mysterious and it will come to all... Rip Rico.. Your death really pained me a lot.. I loved and supported you during the double wahala season because of how loving and caring u were in the house.. Never knew death would snatch you this early...
.
This is not true. Before advance in medicine, death rate was high. But with more knowledge gained, it reduces. Those people that died did so because there was lack of knowledge.

In America, their was a time doctors will deliver women of babies after handling death bodies - without washing and disinfecting their hands. They believed that hand glove protects their hands from germs. Maternal death was very high then. But when they started doing the right thing, maternal death dropped drastically. Those women that died did so because of doctors' foolishness and arrogance. There was a scientist that tried to correct them but they refused. It was after some years after the scientist died that they come to realized what he has been saying.

Death can be prevented to a great extent.

Yes. Attached is a broiler feed formulae based on millets. They used whole millet though. The chaff will lack carbohydrate but will be high in protein and fibers.

Derivative:
The best nematicide out there is Velum Prime. It also serves as fungicide. It is applied mainly as chemigation or soil drenching.

Hello Lala, I'm a mod in Agric section. There is an improvement we have to make in agric section.

I suggest that more than 4 sticky posts should be allowed in the agric front page so that high quality posts won't be buried by low quality ones. In fact, more than half of the total posts should be stickable. It should just be a mini version of nairaland homepage. Pls reply me. Thanks.
