Agriculture › Professional Pig Farm Training ----new approaches to the business by femu(op): 9:10am On Dec 11, 2017*. Modified: 9:34am On Dec 11, 2017 |
Hello folks, As a fellow farmer, I have shared a lot of valuable information on this site based on my personal experience. The truth about Pig Farming is you can’t wish away adequate training especially if you treasure your investment. Over the years many people believed they could learn along the way but alas after exhausting their war-chest they quit.
The reality is Pig Farming is a profitable business venture and yet like every form of agriculture it is very technical and requires constant research and development.
In order to address some of the challenges encountered by farmers and with a strong desire to sustain the industry I will be commencing a first of it's kind, twin tracked production methodologies (Intensive Pig Farming and Pasture Pig Farming) practical training to solve the recurrent and emerging challenges in the pig industry in Nigeria.
Below is a brief overview of both programs
INTENSIVE PRODUCTION SYSTEM The typical way of rearing pigs which involves raising pigs in concrete pens and providing all their feed and labour needs.
Course Outline for Intensive Production System
Pig Housing, Facilities and Equipment

Marketing/Sales
PASTURE PIG FARMING An approach to raising pigs by allowing them graze on plants and other natural resources with or without supplemental feeding within a confined environment. The Pasture program helps you unlock the potentials of our natural environment for raising pigs in a low cost, safe, profitable and sustainable approach.
Course Outline for Pasture Pig Farming
Establishing the Pasture
Pasture Feed and Nutrition
Pasture Housing, Facilities and Equipment
Breeding
Castration
Health and Diseases on the Pasture
Financial Analysis
Marketing
Expected Benefits from Pasture System
Zero/reduced feed costs

Bonus Training Processing Primer..... an introductory course about converting pigs into valuable Pork Products

Some of the practices to be learnt are also beneficial in other areas of animal husbandry(cattle, goat, sheep), poultry and aquaculture.
Its my intention to transfer a generation of knowledge and resources to participants at the training, at the end of the program the farmer is well informed and adopts the track that guarantees sustainable profits and management.

Politics › Re: PDP Reacts To Atiku's Defection To The Party by femu(m): 7:06pm On Dec 03, 2017 |
brainpulse: Atiku is a no no. Atiku is the worst greedy fellow to do business with. He has the sense of selfish monopolist if given the opportunity. He single handed collect the contract for COJA, gave his company the contract to buy around 3000 BMW used and collected and sold it himself( This I know personally). Atiku owns African circle on the Snake Island, with Nigeria Port authority waste management also. This were gotten fraudulently when he was the VP and hijacked so many Nigeria companies, this is one of the reason Baba hated him. So many of this kids supporting him, do not know him is Atiku Cosharis that sells BMW? Atiku also chaired the FEC meeting that awarded the COJA contract? better come out with verifiable facts rather than propaganda from OBJ |
Politics › Re: 2019: Obasanjo, Atiku In Fight To The Finish by femu(m): 4:17pm On Dec 02, 2017 |
seunmsg: It is not even all about Obasanjo, so many political and business elites cannot stomach an Atiku presidency. In fact, the business elites in Nigeria are more concerned about Atiku becoming the president than the political elites and hence, will do all they can to stop him.
Atiku showed his greed and insatiable appetite to corruptly enrich himself when he used his position as chairman of National privatisation council to buy up almost every agency that was up for privatisation to the consternation of the business elites. Since then, they knew a character like Atiku cannot be trusted with the almost absolute powers that come with being president. Atiku will never be president of Nigeria and that's fact! can you mention the agencies atiku acquired or his fronts? |

afrimerch: Farmcrowdy is a scam to promote gmo or gmo products into Nigeria. Its a foreign ploy to introduce gmo seedlings,dangerous herbicides
I like the business model of supporting farmers but not with support from notorious gmo companies like Syngenta and Notore Seeds can you prove your assertion? |

Health › Re: Help My Schizophrenic Brother I'm About To Loose My Own Mind by femu(m): 3:17pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
TiredOfFighting: This is a long story.
It all started last Year after my dad's burial.
I left my younger brother in the village and returned to Abuja wia I was based. He was busy processing burial Documents and so he had to stay back. He is not the first son but he is the next of Kin.
What my complicated family looks like
we are 4 children, 3 from my mum of which I'm d eldest, then a half sis that senoirs me. Dad and mum were separated before her death in 2003 and he remarried before she died. My current step mum had no child with him till he died. My immediate younger bro had a fallout with step mum and left home in 2005 (he was 14) and No one heard from him again till dad died. So dad made the last his next of kin.
While Emmanuel was processing Dad's burial Documents in Akwa-Ibom, I miraculously connected with Ezekiel the first son who told me all that happened and how he went abroad tru the desert and was deported. He had had been in Lag all along but too ashamed to return home after 10 years with nothing. I immdiately connected him with Emma who was very happy to see him. I told them to work together on the Docs and after which they could come to me in Abuja and get settled.
4days together they wia both fine n happy to see each other and then the reunion turned sour. They became cat and dogs and Would always call me on phone to settle issues between them. Days later, Emma left for a church vigil and about the 3rd day, I got a call and the caller said my brother Emma was now mad. I called Ezekiel to go tio the supposed church wia he was n pick and make their way to Abuja with the next bus.
When I saw Emma, I cried, he looked all bones and ribs, eyes sulken and he was like a helpless shadow. Emma would not sleep at night,he won't eat, he was restless, he would carry his bag and pace all day, roam all day and sometimes he would take a corner in the house and be crying and he would say things like " they want to kill me, they are sucking my blood, they want to use me for rituals. I was the most confused person on earth. I entered a fasting and praying mode.
Meanwhile, Emma n Ezekiel wia still cat and dogs, I got back home to find Ezekiel bleeding on his head. Emma attacked him with a padlock as he tried to restrain him from going out. I knew there that both brothers can't stay together. My reunion with Ezekiel was sweet n sour.
2 weeks in Abuja with both brothers and my office approved my long pending transfer back to Lagos. Time to separate both brothers as I thought. Ezekiel said he doesn't want to go back to school and and wants to go back abroad, I was able to convince him to calm down and learn a skill which he agreed so I enrolled him in a Hair dressing and I and Emma left for Lag.
Emma's condition worsened, He would roam the Estate all day and sometimes I would return from work n not find him at home. Then my maternal uncle whom we had not been in touch with heard about Emma and quickly sent for him. This was about 4 months after the drama started. My uncle was so angry I did not tell them all of it, accused me of not taking care of my brothers and said infact Emma would stay with him going forward and I should check Emma out in 3 months time. I was very releived to find help.
1 week in PHC with my uncle and all was smoth, then my uncle called and said I shud send funds he wanted to take Emma for check up and I did. A few days after my uncle began to complain that he can't cope, Emma was suddenly too rude and he can't bear it again. He said Emma was my cross to bear and I shud send him fare to return to me. So 2 weeks after, Emma came back to me In Lag. He was a lot more better, had gained good weight, His communication flow was a lot better but still distorted.
As the days went by, Emma began to talk less, he began to be very slow at accomplishing things, he could wash plates for hours. Then he began to take odd psoitions. He could stand for 2 hours and not move and all that. Then he would wee on himself.
I quickly sought d help of a traditional herb seller who gave me some herbs to cook for him and I did. Day 3 on the herb n he began this deep sleep episodes. He would sleep for hours all night, wake up and eat in d morning n go back to sleep all day. Try to wake him and he won't even move. This continued for days coupled with the bet wetting which was worse. I decided to seek medical help.
The first hospital we visited referred us to Federal Neuro-psychiatric Hospital Yaba same night.
My experience at Federal Neuro-psychiatric Hospital ,Yaba.
We got to Yaba at about 11pm, at this point he was all stiff and motionless, eyes open. We were told that hospital card costs N4000 and I brought out my card to pay but to my surprise, I was told the hospital did not have POS. The Doctor on call took his write up and that was it. I was told we won't ve attended to as I didn't have cash to pay. We were sent back home same night at about 12a.m. My Brother survived the night and the next day we went back to the hospital.
I made all necessary pamemts, bought all materials as was required of me and he was placed on 3days observation in the Emergency unit and was on Drip as he wasn't eating.
By this time, the doctors diagnosed him and said hr was having catatonic schizophrenia plus seizures. He would wake up briefly, mumble somee wordworldsds and go back to sleep.
After 72hrs, His time was up at the Emergency ward and I was instruscted to augment payment for his transfer to the main ward which I did. At this time, I had spent at least a N100,000. Admission fee for 1 month was 50,000 besides other expenses.
After 1 night in the main ward which was day 4, I was told that he needed specialist care and dey would have to refer us to military hospital as they did not have full capacity to handle his case. At this point I had become financially drained, I had spent everything, wia would I start from?.
I was advised to apply for refund so that Part of the 50k I paid for admission would be returned. I told the Doctors and Nurses that I couldnt afford new medical bills as I spent all but the referral note had been given and we had to go. I further asked on what grounds was my Brother beeb reffered and they said he is unconcious and we can't manage him in that state. They said we are nit discharging him yet and once he is stable bring him back. He was given some meds and I took him home.
About 1 week on the meds, he began to groan, he would groan all night holding his stomach n even throw up. He started rejecting his drugs nd even food. I spoke with a physician and he prescribed ulcer meds and after 2 days on it, the stomach pain stopped. On the 3rd day he became aggressive n violent n tried to attack me. I quickly called for help n he was restrained and I took him back to the hospital. By this time he was no longer having the seizures or being unconcious.
Our second time in Yaba was a lot more dramatic, First the Doctors and Nurses said I had come to the hospital about 2 days back to return his bedsheets nd I equally told them my brother was dead. I told them it was a mix up and wasn't me.
After a lot of consideration, they put him back in the Emergency ward and on day 3, I was with hope that he would be admitted to the main ward but to my surprise, My Brother was discharged and asked to be coming for clinic from home.
I quickly aired my fears that I'm not comfortable with the plan and Would want him to stay back some more but I was dismissed. The consultant in charge of the main ward insisted that he had reffered and it was final. He would only take my Brother back if I produced an MRI test result.
I work Monday to Saturday, How will I monitor his progress?How will I convince him to take hims drugs?. the hospital would hear none of that and it was the final decision.
We have been home for 4 days now. He has beeb doing well but twice he has asked for beer and he went out to get beer. Yesterday I got back from work and everywia was smelling of cigarette smoke. He refused to talk to me. This morning I tried to engage him in a subtle discussion why he needs to avoid those things so he can recover fully and my Brother attacked me again. He slapped me over and over.
At this point, I don't know wat do do, I had to run out of the house to a friends room, .I'm stuck here and can't go to work. I have cried my eyes out, our rent just expired and I just paid for a new place. Where do I start from?, Yaba has dismissed him and I can't afford an MRI. I Don't know wat to do, I have fought so hard and so long and I feel like running away.
Somebody help me I am loosing my mind!!!!.
