BoluwGoldenFarm: I once met a fellow in the south eastern part of the country who is into goat biz,
He buys 30 matured goats weekly & added a small profit of N3k on each as a profit magin but the guy is a yoruba by tribe
So on a weekly bases he makes 30x N3k = N90k & a total of N90x4 =N360k monthly.
Even if the profit margin is N1,500 which means N1,500 x 30:x 4:= N180k sales monthly
You can do the same if you have the interest , cash and the no how
You must do your home work well or you pay someone to do it for you.
You need to know which breed moves market
You need to know how much buyers buy
You need to know where to source from at a good price and healthy conditions
You need to know the best - cheap means of transport
You need to have a place to keep them and easily accessible
You need to have a business model of doing the business
If you have just a small goat then join me and other Goat, cow and ram farmers on WhatsApp group 08120528950 please don't send me SMS to add you by send WhatsApp massage
Goats dont really like PKC. It is usually dry and gritty. However, as it is mainly used in compound feeds, its lack of palatability is of less importance and goats will take them .
PKC as the sole component of the goat formulated feed is an adequate protein source for West African Dwarf goats, in fact better than brewery waste and cottonseed (for WAD).
determining the right quantity in concentrates requires skill and experience. acquiring the expertise is worth it judging by the economic gains that comes with this expertise.
remember PKC is cheap and this can serve as a cheap source of nutrition for your goats and reduce your farm expenses.
NB feeding PKC to sheep is not totally safe at a certain percentage due to Corper toxicity which is lethal to sheep. the best way out for beginner sheep farmers is to totally avoid PKC if they are not sure of what they are doing.
goats can handle Corper toxicity to a certain extent.

So how can this Methionine be added to their feed organically?
GreenAcres: Your project is commendable. I hope my contribution is not belated - if the birds had been sold for christmas, but for knowledge base, the most common reason that feathers do not develop is a deficiency of a critical protein constituent (amino acid) from the diet of the birds. The feathers of birds contain high levels of a subunit of proteins called "methionine." Methionine is one of only a few amino acids that contain sulfur, and sulfur is a major constituent of feathers. If bird diets are deficient in any single amino acid, it will most likely be methionine. An adequate level of methionine is required in the diet and a deficiency results in reduced growth and feather development
Please can you explain why you said going into 'ugwu makes no sense'
Pavore9: Going into ugu makes no sense. I will suggest you go into crops like lettuce, cucumber, capsicum (bell pepper) as they are Short- cycle crops and attracts good market price. I just don't know where around there you can go understudy what it entails.
What quantity of seed will be required to plant one acre of land and how can one get the seeds in Lagos?
Ugole2013: The biggest size is #1500 a bunch The medium size is #1400 a bunch The smallest is #1200 a bunch. If you want to buy already processed seeds, it's #35000 a pale of paint (that is 20litres).

I think the school should be able to provide you guys with seeds or have the students contribute to buy the seeds.....just my opinion....Cheers!
knoxx: I just stumbled on your page while on jethros page. Am an agric science teacher and also passionate about farming as well. I know this quote is old but ill very much like to practicalise using sack. I and my students have a mini farm which is actually a small balcony of first floor 6ft by 2ft. We just harvested our tomatoes which were infested by disease. So we think we can try out cucumber and harvest by December. Pls could you help us with some seeds plssssssssssssssssssss.
Conner44: Same thing with mine. You will put it on and instead of it to illuminate the road it will be flashing into the sky. It makes me avoid night driving
But if you come outside and observe the headlights they look Okay and that's what baffles me. I've put HID bulbs and tokumbo bulbs but lie lie. I don't know if there's a way to adjust the height of the beam via the headlamps themselves
