It is always hectic and strenuous on harvest days. I will try and always update the quantity gotten for you to know the possibilities in farming. No farmer no nation |

Usmanovic95:Thanks bro, it is a factor. But if you wait for the ewe to be older like a year and half then you should maybe except twins as first born. Also the genetics of the bloodline of the ewe and ram sometimes decide birth of twins. There are some breeds that will only give birth to twins or more. 3 Likes |

Picture of a pallet is attached below. It comes in either wooden or plastic form. It makes the sanitation system easier for both the animals and the farmer. A good carpenter can construct the wooden ones just tell him to use good wood because of constant exposure to urine for it to last long. 1 Like

If your housing is done correctly you will spend less on drugs and increase your profit margin. 3 Likes |

If you’re able to provide good housing your animals will be comfortable and productive. Try eat and sleeping in a dirty room and see if you won’t get sick. 1 Like |

Wooden or plastic crates can be used on the floor to prevent direct contact with their urine and dungs. Note that their urine contains high level of ammonia which is toxic if inhaled. So your ventilation has to be top notch. Also put in mind that during cold weather you should be able to make the room enclosed too. To prevent cold from killing your sheeps 3 Likes |

The house can be raised so the animals urine and dung falls to the ground where it will be packed daily. If you can’t make a raised house then you should think of making it a little bit sloppy so as the urine and dungs to move out. |

HOUSE MANAGEMENT To maintain a good house it has to be constructed in such a way that it will minimize stress when you are about to clean the rooms. First prioritize enough ventilation when constructing. Most people use woods when constructing the houses but I use blocks in my own due to the intensity of rainfall and flooding in my farm. Termites are friends to woods so use treated woods if you will be using them and know at that repair will be more often that way. When planning try to provide a house that will last at least a decade which means you have to go for quality at all cost. Your housing defects can destroy your investment. 3 Likes |

Billioon:Sheep and ram housing is something that shouldn’t be really over the top. It has to meet some standard criterias. Ventilation must not be joked with, you need slab on the floor to prevent them getting cold and sleeping on their urine and a roofing sheet to prevent rain is also important. As your pocket is, you can build to your own satisfaction but these are the requirements you must adhere too. 1 Like

You can delay the application of fertilizer till after your first harvest so as to prevent this and apply just minimal amount of nitrogen fertilizer. |
Agriculture / Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 10:22pm On Apr 04, 2023 |
When my Okro was about to start producing pod at week 6 I applied a high nitrogen fertilizer 20:10:10 which stimulated the growth of more leaves in respect to pod. As a farmer i need pods to make money not leaves. So please take note of that. |
Agriculture / Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 10:20pm On Apr 04, 2023 |
I made a mistake which I will love to share with my fellow readers and farmers. There is a technicality in the application of fertilizer to Okro due to the fact that the Okro plant continues to grow all through til the end of its life. |

ashpanez:I use a urea(nitrogen) based foliar fertilizer for the first 3weeks then I stopped. Am using a 20L knapsack so I use 100ml. I apply once in a week only. 1 Like |
