building a 7200 capacity pen for layer birds. i need ideas for low cost perimeter security.

..
In addition to dogs, geese are also very good security alarm. So good that the military uses them to replace dogs in sensitive military instalations. They are cheaper to keep and strangers cannot calm them into silence. Dogs are still important though bc they strike fear into theive's hearts. They will make good guards 2gether with geese. http://www.farmersjoint.com/blog/livestock-farming/poultry/29-super-interesting-facts-about-geese/.

@Davies427 & Agrotconsult.;
i still need perimeter fencing to unleash rotweilers for security.

if u need to expand ur farm later then u might as well go for chain links cos u can reposition them compared to block fencing. its cheaper on d long run.
a roll of 8ft chain link is 24k here in Akwa Ibom. is it cheaper anywhere else.

..
I really love ur rott idea. I have one.

NICOLAZ:

eaglevirus:
sup guys. i am building a new farm. what options di i have at fencing my farm its 10000sqm. was thinking of chain link fence but its expensive i hust need more ideas incase there are cheaper options i have not explored

..
Hw about using moringa and jatropha to fence it?

superstar1:
It is funny that we pay all the taxes outside the country and protest against them in our country.

Taxes make the citizens more interested in politics and governance. It makes them to hold their governments more accountable, because it is their sweat. People were less concerned in the past because the fund being looted was not from their pockets directly.

Taxation is the path to better governance. I strongly believe.

However, establishing this new set of taxes without the people seeing what you have done with newly introduced ones is insensitive and criminal.

Show us what you have done with Stamp Duty and we can trust you with more. FIRS and Presidency listen to the voice of the people.

..
I agree very much with u.

Cee9:
please all imo farmers or its environs that need NEEM(dogoyaro) oil should contact me asappp tel:08027500285. Neem oil kills Over 200 insects on the farm

..
Hw much?

Goldenboy842:
Yes the black retain heat. 1200 for 8 weeks broiler is bad, does not match the cost of production. I have never sold my broilers below 2500 maybe it's my location though.

.. For wholesale I think that's a fair price. Except u want to sell them urself.

obstead200:
It tends to suffer from excessive leaching and erosion. Cos most of the lands are sloppy in nature. they slope towards the river. so heavy floods can cause crops to wash away into the river.

Farmtech, How are u doing?
I still hope to visit ur farm and learn from your wealth of experience. maybe when I go on leave........

..
I'm fine oo. U're welcm whenever u're ready.

obstead200:
My farm is at umuguma.
come to think of it, u are right. But all the lands close to the otamiri river is either highly unstable or too expensive for farming.

..
What do u mean by unstable?

akonucheinfo:
Please I will need your candid advice.



1. is the breeding process of turkey and chicken the same?

the matter here is that i applied for a first hand practical coaching on poultry raring in a reputable university of agriculture, i told them that i want to have a first experience on fowl abi chicken raring, so i enrolled. but on my first day of training, i noticed that the dont have chicken in stock but rather turkey.

what they presently have in stock is turkey, so i want to ask is the breeding process of turkey the same with that of chicken? please i want to know because its chicken training i asked for and not turkey training. Please i need advice as urgent as possible thanks.

..
Do u really mean breeding process or rearing process? The rearing process can't be the same, but they'll have similarities.

Nacre1:
Tanx abunch. I got Pantacox for them. Lost 2 yesterday. But I think the situation is under control now

..
Tnk God. But next time prevent it by giving an anti cocci drug from day 9-13. It has damaged their intestine and will make feed assimilatn less efficient. See a good vaccine/medication plan here: http://farmersjoint.com/doc-screening-lab-result.html.

Nacre1:
Farmers in the house, pls help. Just got to the farm ds morning and my birds are passing out bloody litter. I have been giving them embazin_forte. Pls I need suggestions on how to curtail this before it gets out of hand. Tanx. Suggestions needed ASAP

..
Likely cocci or necrotic enterisis. Embazzin forte can do the job. Hw long have u been giving embazin..? U may also have to try more powerful sulfa drugs like agracox. Dicoxin..

Rxpetite:
lol. u no see reverend for im moniker?
A revered Reverend has just pronounced me unchristian who am I to argue with or ignore him

..
It pains me when so called christians support this without thinking about the implication.

Drift:
The thing now is, he has denied ever saying anything of such when i reported him to a neighbor. He says i am trying to implicate him while still being all aggressive and cursing me out.
Won't he do the same at the police station?
I believe he is only trying to intimidate me but i'm not taking any chances.

More suggestion please.

Thank you.

..
Buy a spy camera and capture his threat. Then report to the police asap. If u fear and fall for him, he'll exploit u till u go broke.

vanpeele:
@excess4luv It's very hot for the plants due to the chemical feeds fed to poultry these days. Tried it with cucumbers and okra in sacks. They all died.

@Shehucom 58B81615 BB

Fresh manures always does that. You can prevent it by composting them before applying.

He siad it is a strategy to plant church in a muslim country and he didn't pay for the party with church money. Those he has helped paid for it. Nice idea.

Introduction
Immodest dresses are designed to cause men to lust and to draw attention to the body. The way you dress reveals your mindset. It is easier to take a stance against murder, rape, cheating etc, but it is harder to take a stance against the evils majority have come to accept. Evils like immodest dressing, ignoring the flaws of celebrities (celebrity worship) etc. This is because you risk being rejected and mocked by majority. But mind you, no political party, celebrity etc should be given allegiance that is due to God alone. If you fail to stand against evil in public/private places, you are directly rejecting Christ. True Christians are supposed to be Christ’s ambassadors on earth. Below are 6 reasons why a heavenly conscious girl/lady must not dress immodestly.

1. God want men to control their thought: Matt 5:27-29 - “You have heard that it was said by them of old time, you shall not commit adultery: 28. But I say unto you, that whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” How does it concern you? Read on.

2. God don’t want you to cause others to sin, if you disobey, there are consequences: Matt 18:6-8 “If anyone causes one of these little ones – those who believe in me – to stumble (sin), it will be better for them to have a large millstone hung round their neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble, such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! 8. For if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away…”

When you lead men to sin against God by the way you dress (or by any other means), there are severe consequences involve. So you can’t just say that it doesn’t concern you.

3. God wants true Christians to dress modestly: 1 Tim 2:9-10 “I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10. But with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”

4. Your body belongs to God and you must use it for His glory, not as an object of lust: Rom 12:1 “ I beseech you therefore, brethren, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. 2. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

5. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem: Matt 12:30 “He that is not with me is against me; and he that does not gather with me scatters.” Ask yourself: “If I dress immodestly, how do I help gather people to Christ?” When men look at you, they should be seeing Christ in you, not your exposed body.

6. Why will some people still insist that nothing is wrong with immodest dressing? Some people will label black as white and evil as good. Some people even regard immodest dressing as modest. When you believe that an evil is good, it eventually appear to be good in your eyes. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 “…They perish because they refuse to love the truth and so be saved. 11. For this reason God send them a powerful delusion to believe a lie 12. And so that all will be condemned who have not believe the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” It is a well-known fact that immodesty lead men to sin. Therefore immodesty is a great wickedness.

What Really is Modest Dressing?
If you have a clean heart, you’ll agree with me that a modest dress will meet the following requirements:

1. Not too tight: In case you don’t know, prostitutes wear tight fitting clothes to reveal their shape and attract customers. But it is very unfortunate that most ‘christian ladies’ are doing the same.

2. It doesn’t expose your unclothedness: [/b]unclothedness here include your thighs, breast, stomach etc. A modest skirt goes down below the knees such that even when you sit or bend to sweep, your thighs won’t be exposed. A modest top doesn’t expose your stomach, ampit or cleavage, even when you raise your hands up in worship.

[b]Conclusion
Do you condemn fornication but approve all those emotions and behaviors that lead to fornication (indecent dressing, kissing, pecking, hugging, handling etc)? If yes, how are you different from the Pharisees who will condemn murder but ignore anger that leads to murder (Matt 5:21-26)?

How do we take a stand against immodesty? The same way we take a stand against rape, child abuse, ungodliness and theft. Shun immodesty and ungodly fashion (2 Cor. 6:14). Expose and rebuke immodesty. Eph 5:11-13 – “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.”

You will dress modestly if your heart is inclined towards God. You will dress immodestly when your heart is inclined towards self. You’ll do this with little or no regard for the consequencies to yourself or others.

Note: Immodesty is not the only sin that can lead you to hell. By constantly STUDYING the bible, you’ll renew your mind and discover the will of God for your life (Rom 12:2). The conclusion of the whole matter is repentance. Make up your mind to repent from all your evil ways and follow Christ.

Kataw:
Great farmers in d aos pls help check dis cage (pix) if it is gud for layers n i was told dat it can accomodate 100 birds. Lukin 4ward for ur response....... Tanx

..
That can't contain 100 birds. Management will also be cumbersome.

mbuotidemjames:
I noticed that the protein content in Hybrid feeds are more than that of Amobyn and Top feeds.......but why is top feed still costlier than hybrid when it is the protein that the chicks need to grow?
Can anyone here advise me to use Hybrid

..
A lot of factors is involve. They may have different production cost. Protein quality might differ and so on. It's now left for u to test the 2 feed on say, 6 birds each and find out which one is better. I'm currently doing a similar experiment with my feed and top feed.

seunrule:
In addition to all these, you can also add 98% feed-grade vitamin C ( 250g to 500g/ton of feed) to their feed provided you compound feed by yourself.

..
Do you know how much vit c cost?

irukandji89:
Some plants ( like Citrus sp ) tend to produce a different variety when you plant from seeds.



Momma planted the seed of a sweet orange and about 15 years ago and we got bitter orange

Never thought that was possible till recently.


I always thought the tree was .....

That was why I was fascinated with asexual propagation.

..
I will search for a scientific explanation. May be it was pollinated by a bitter orange?

The hand work of superglue.

This fulani problem shud already be enof!!!!

irukandji89:
There are many advantages of Marcotting which include:


Exact replica of parent plants: You get exact copy of the parent plant. This is better than planting from seeds which may produce new, different, undesirable species.


Fast fruiting time: Unlike planting from seeds, which may take many years, a marcotted plant will definitely take a shorter time to fruit...

..
Just want to add that growing trees from seed will give u a healthy plantation that will yield more and last longer. Other means may give u fast result but if u want sth that last long, start from the seed.
..
Marcoting is a good idea though, esp for plants with short life.

tunezvic:
Please the heat is really affecting my birds, there production has drop from 70 crates to 48 crates and it keeps decreasing day by day.. I need help on what I can do to reduce the heat stress.

..
Add ice block to water, esp in the afternoon when the water will be warm. Birds don't like warm water. Give antistress drugs and give lasota every 3wks.

pcoolioz:
well it could be gumboro... who knows, but I heard of the vaccine for gumboro fails it wipes out the entire birds. they started dying right from the first week. I got a carton, I have 15left. I had to bring them out of the pen and let them free range. I was out of options and in doing that those 15 survived.

the plan
day one-antistress
2-5 - antibiotics
6-7 vitamins
8 - first lasota
9 - 10 -vitamins
11-first gumboro then bla bla till day 21 second gumboro
that's basically it
I skipped fowl pox vaccine when I thought they were all gonna die.

.
Birds can't just die like that without a reason. I'll advise u to seriously review ur management practices. There are sth u may take for granted but it really matters. Get another batch of about 12 and try again. It is always better to start small and learn from ur mistake.
..
If u can still post the cage's pic gud. Which feed did u gave them?
..
Also, sometimes u may need to give gumboro as early as day 6. http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-Gumboro-Vaccination?pid=1088#pid1088

crownzade:
@FarmTech
..
From which feed to which feed?

I changed from top feed to compounding feeds interchangeably. Please help me out.

..
Then change back to top feed. There is sth wrong with ur formula.

thorpido:
The problem is not what pregnancy does to the body of a woman.When you decide to share what normally should be covered up on social media,you should expect the flaks..

..
Not always so since people will always tell u how hot half-naked celebrities look. Our generation is filled with lust and yet they call on God as if God is with them. God doesn't support u showing off ur unclothedness. You cause others to sin and God can NEVER be happy with such a person.
..
A married woman showing this kind of pic to the world is a shamful act before God, but b4 the woorld, things like this are always welcome.

crownzade:
@ Farm tech: thanks for your response, i changed their feeds along the line. What should i do get them producing eggs again?

..
From which feed to which feed?

osca234:
This is good...am based in onitsha and has plans to go into cattle business. Pls i need more like minds

See our official thread here: https://www.nairaland.com/1821516/anambra-farmers-lets-meet-here.

Where are u base?

crownzade:
Good evening friends, please help me out here...
My layers just started laying few weeks ago, though not optimally, meanwhile all of a sudden they stopped dropping eggs.
These girls are just eating. What can I do?
Please!!!

..
Did u in anyway mix something in their feed to save cost? Or did u restrict their feed?

pcoolioz:
Thanks checked it.

I got some broilers from zartech recently and the death rate was something else. I followed the same process I did with the ones I got from chivita, but I still lost alot, they weren't eating much, wasting the food, and now at a month old they have almost no weight and are still dying. most of them that died were having difficulty walking. I am thinking Newcastle? although I gave all the vaccines as at when due. I have already written it off as a bad investment but does anyone have any ideas? I still have some left. anything to save these ones at least.

..
Hard to pinpoint what caused it. I know zartech as a good hatchery. Maybe u made a mistake somewhere. Can u post picture of ur cage and the remaining bird?
..
Diseases like gumboro can destroy bird' immune system - just like hiv. This can happen without sign of sickness. So I wonder if the culprit is gumboro.
..
Also post the vaccinatn plan u used.
