Please

Pig manure has a low c/n ratio. You have to combine it with other things with high c/n ratio such as sawdust, rice hull, etc. http://www.farmersjoint.com/blog/livestock-farming/biogas-production-avoid-failure-by-using-the-correct-carbon-nitrogen-ratio/

Do you know where I can find/buy the digester?

..
No. But after reading about d/f types of biogas, you can build one after some trials.

Pls farmer in the house what can I do to safe my 5 day old broilers from dying. Just today I lost 3 and many are still not active.

Dikwons:
Please help. My 2weeks plus old chicks are dull, not eating well, sleeping standing, buried necks, some have watery stools, I noticed this two days ago. I have vaccinated them against Newcastle disease with LaSota, in the first week, then Gongola in the second week. This is the third week and they went from being energetic to being sick in a flash. I've been giving them a glucose+antibiotic+vitamin drug since I got them. I bought chlortetracycline drug yesterday for them but they are still the same.
I keep them well aerated and their litter dry. There are two poults with them who are still agile.

..

"Thou shall not judge" What does it really mean?

One of the most misquoted part of the bible is "Thou shall not judge". Have you ever pointed out something wrong somebody is doing & he tells you, "Don't judge"? It is very common.

There are judgement God allow us to make and there are those He doesnt allow us to make.

First, what is judgement? Judgement is the ability to make sensible decisions after carefully considering the best thing to do.

Going by this decision, you'll see that you judge people everyday.

1. Why are you against the Gay Bill? You judged that it is wrong.
2. Why wont you kill your mother? Bc your judgement tells you it is wrong.
3. Christ said we shud tell people to repent from their sin - That is judgement.

So guys, we judge people everyday and God allows this form of judgement. The judgement God is against is when we judge with respect to someone's eternal state. Eg If I say that Flavor will go to hell, God will be angry with me. I cant say that.

"Do not judge by appearances, but JUDGE with righteous judgement" - John 7:24

This passage confirms all I have said. We shud nt judge by appearance, but should make a righteous judgement.

So next time somebody walk up to you and pointed out your sin, repent from that sin and save your life. That person loves you.

Top Gholywood actress, Juliet Ibrahim has stated that there is nothing bad about lesbianism.

Though, the sexy thespain said she does not indulge in act of lesbianism, she saw nothing bad about it.

In a recent chat with Ghanagist, the Ghanaian screen diva hinted that she had only kissed a lady once but had never slept with anyone in her life.

In her words; “I’m not a lesbian. You will be wondering why I’m saying this because people always think I’m a lesbian. I always get questions when I play movie roles and stuffs but I’ve only kissed a girl once and that was in a movie and that was because I had to play a role. I’ve never been with a lady before.”

“There is nothing wrong with it. You can do your thing if you like it, but I haven’t been with a girl before,” she added.

This is one of the reasons i always say that musicians and actors will lead many to hell. Be it 2face, p square, mercy johnson, wizkid, jbanj etc etc. Repent so u can see what's happening.

I need to quickly remove it from farm to prevent them from germination.

Why not store it properly so it last long? How long does it take from planting to harvesting.

How Do You Manage Your Litter? What Is The Dimension Of Your Pen In 'Feet' And How Many Birds Does It Contain? Thanks In Advance

..
I once tried deep litter but it didn't wk out probably due to poor ventilatn or the fact that I don't build it up with fresh litter. About 15.7 by 53ft containing 558 birds (minus 17 males).

omo17:
Don't be deceive by all those pple saying one snail can lay 1m eggs, dey don't lay that much, but am sure dat 5eggs was laid by one snail, although one snail can lay up to 10eggs or even more or even less. Expect odas to follow.

..
So far as feeding and environment is ok, they lay yr round.

mercylicious:
@farmtech, how are ur birds?
U didn't come for our excursion today. It was highly inspiring.

.. They're fine and laying have began. Which excursion?

1 eggs appeared yesterday, at 20wks and 3 days old. 2 eggs appeared today. Hoping in God.

So unfortunate.

pamdaniel:
so amazed its verry motorable and very close to the main road

..
Goodluck. Can you open a thread and keep us updated? I'll follow it.

pamdaniel:
it was leased at 28k

.. Ok tnks. Is it close to main road and is it motorable during rainy season?

obamat:
Farm tech you can't just say something is not right when you've not seen it. I am telling you what I experience here. You can confirm from dyoungforester I bought 50 pieces of snail from him and I am telling you that the one I hatched 5weeks ago is near the size of some of those I bought from him. I was told those eggs are from Benin snails which are the largest.

...
The eggs u bought from the girl or dyoungforester? Snails don't grow like that. Rethink.

nikaShow:
Thanks for sharing @ op, this is something I have interest in in the long term!
Is there a 'standard/ fixed - 'waste combination to make it work or do I just go and dilute cow dung and use it? Or do I add artificial enzymes etc?

..
There is something called the carbon-nitrogen ratio. If u don't get it within range u will have a biogas plant that doen't wk well or a urine-smell plant. More info:

@ Pavore9, thanks for the eye opener as regards the biogas. My question is what is the rate of consumption of a 300kg of biogas when used cooking and to power electrical gadget like 3000W output? Thanks in anticipation for a quick response

@omo17 i agree with you 100%, I bought some snails from market as I dont have bush in my area where I can pick and for three months now I didnt see any serious changes and to buttress your point, I collected some big sizes eggs from the girl selling the snails and prepared them for hatching , luckily 4 of 10 hatched and I am telling you the snails are just 5 weeks old now and their size is already nearing those ones I bought over 3 months ago I`ve resulted in consuming my old ones gradually and looking for eggs to start my own big size snails farm.

..
Nairalanders do u smell a rat with me here? Chei! U kept adult snails for 3 months. Then u hatch baby snails and kept them for 5 weeks. Size of 5 wks baby snails are now nearing the size of the adult. Guy, u don't know anything about snails.

omo17:
I quiet understand u, and i think u shd understand wat i mean by d agric type, am talking about d popular African giant snail (Archachatina marginata) dat farmers normally rear for commercial purposes. this breed are different from the one u picked from bushes . pls go to any farm or market nd see for urself wat i mean by big snail, am sure u will see a big difference. Am yet to see snail picked from bushes nd breed to a large snail. Am also yet to see a farmer dat will tell me he/she started snailery from picking snail from bushes. No matter how dey adapt, dey always have certain size dey will reach, it won't command gud price in d market.
Am talking from experience. It's wat av done in d past. Am a confirm snail Hunter.

..
Snail size is a function of yrs. Keep bush snails for 2 yrs under good management condition and they'll attain the same size as the "agric snail". U can find a. Marginata in the bush.

base83:
oh thanks alot, never know that there are "agric" snails too. I will find out more about it though. Concerning the soil I have been removing the eggs from the main pen to another place, however none has hatch could that be the reason cos i moved the eggs? Please can u explain that better, cos i thought the bigger snails will eat d eggs if left together.
thanks agaain

..
Once again, there is nothing like agric snails. As for the eggs, separate them from the snails and keep them moist by burrying in a shallow soil and watering. I've hatched several snails that way.

omo17:
I av to be honest with u, don't expect this snail u hand pick to grow any bigger, I want to belif u pick dem up from the Bush, u have change there natural habitat, although dey will definitely mature but not in size, am talking from experience. in fact i still av some i picked last week again. The only hope for bigger snail is the one coming from there hatched egg, i want to bilif dey av started laying eggs, those one will definitely grow in size because this is the environment they were brought up. even with dat, dey can only attain the normal size u c around d Bush because there breed is different from d agric type u see being rear by farmers. Those snails u find in the Bush are different from the one being reared purposely for commercial purposes. D Bush type when they attain full size will always be small compare to the agric type. hp u get wat am saying. U can't rear d one u hand pick nd expect to make huge profit compare to d agric type, am using d phrase "agric type because I don't knw the name for the breeds, but definitely i knw wat am saying. in essence, wat am saying is dat if u want to practice commercial snail farming (purposely for selling) forget abt those hand picked nd go for gud breed. They are just different.

With regards to changing soil, do not change soil. those eggs won't hatch dat way. Leave d soil

..
Pls Permit me to correct this. There is nothing like agric snail yet, and I don't think there will be for a very long time. The ones u pick in the bush can still adapt and grow big. If u want baby snails that grow fast, hatch eggs from very big snails.

Bro What Am Trying To Say Is Things Are Changing Gradually.S
