AgricultureGrasscutter Farming Tips (a Secret To Successful Production ) by Masterielcraig(op): 7:17am On Apr 18, 2019
Grasscutter or Greater Cane Rat (Thryonomys swinderianus) is one of two species of cane rats. Grasscutters occur in grassland or in wooded savanna throughout the humid and sub humid areas of Africa south of the Sahara. They often live in forest-savanna habitats where grass is present. Cane rats can grow to nearly 2 ft (0.61 m) in length and weigh a little less than 8.6 kg. It has rounded ears, a short nose, and coarse bristly hair. Its forefeet are smaller than its hind feet, each with three toes.



Rearing of grasscutter is very profitable, less stress (the stress of feeding them is less, when compared to other livestock rearing like fishery, piggery, poultry etc.), and highly productive. Grasscutter has a high reproductive rate, because they are polygamous in nature, if one rears a male alongside with four females for a year, it’s possible to get 50-56 grasscutters and each grasscutter price ranges from #4000 – #6500 sometimes they can go for #10000.

The key is to use local materials in order to keep down construction costs. The building should be ventilated and offer enough light to facilitate rearing activities. The long sides of the structure are made of a low wall 1.5 m high, with the upper half covered with chicken wire. The roof can be made out of corrugated iron, straw or any other kind of waterproof material. Concrete floors and wall could also be used in the construction of the house.

AgricultureIntroduction To Small-scale Freshwater Fish Farming by Masterielcraig(op): 4:08pm On Apr 05, 2019
Throughout the centuries fish has been an important component of the
population’s diet in many parts of the world this brings us to how to start fish farming. Fish catches increased rapidly over the past hundred years due to improved technology,
which provided more powerful engines and sonar equipment. This led
to over fishing and caused a worldwide decrease in wild stocks. As a
result, the growth in fish catches stopped some 20 years ago. The need
to increase fish production by farming became therefore an urgent
matter.

The term ‘aquaculture’ covers all forms of cultivation of aquatic animals and plants in fresh-, brackish- and saltwater. Aquaculture has the
same objective as agriculture, namely, to increase the production of
food above the level that would be produced naturally in fish farming ponds. Today, aquaculture is responsible for an ever-increasing share of global aquatic
food production, which has increased from 3.9 percent in 1970 to 31.9
percent in 2003 (FAO, 2005).

As in agriculture, fish farming techniques include:
Removal of unwanted plants and animals
Replacement by desirable species of fish
Improvement of these species by crossbreeding and selection
Increase of nutrient availability by the use of fertilisers and feeds
Fish farming can be combined with agriculture, animal husbandry and
irrigation practices, which can lead to better utilisation of local resources and ultimately to higher production and net profits. This practice is called ‘integrated fish farming’



Advantages of fish farming
1. Fish provides high quality animal protein for human consumption.

2. A farmer can often integrate fish farming into the existing farm to create
additional income and improve its water management.

3. Fish growth in ponds can be controlled: the farmers themselves select the
fish species they wish to raise.

4. The fish produced in a pond are the owner’s property; they are secure and
can be harvested at will. Fish in wild waters are free for all and make an individual share in the common catch uncertain.

5. Fish in a pond are usually close at hand.

6. Effective land use: effective use of marginal land e.g. land that is too poor,
or too costly to drain for agriculture can be profitably devoted to fish farming provided that it is suitably prepared.

READ ALSO: Fish farming practices
In land-based aquaculture, the most commonly used culture units
are earthen ponds. When evaluating and selecting sites for earthen
fishponds, the main physical factors to consider are the land area, the
water supply, and the soil. The following points should be kept in mind
for each.
Land area
• Establish that the land is relatively level. Steeply sloped land is
not generally suitable for building ponds. A slope of about 1% is
considered ideal.
• Determine that the area is large enough for your present plans and
for any future expansion.
• The area should not be prone to flooding.
• The area should not be subject to pollution in runoff from adjacent
land.
• If possible, the land must be slightly lower than the water source,
so that the ponds can be filled by gravity rather than by pumping.
Supplying water by gravity greatly reduces energy inputs and
operating costs.
• In most cases the larger the surface area (with gentle slope), the
better. This is only true if the land and water are not expensive.

Agriculture5 Most Dangerous Chicken Diseases And Their Recommended Remedies by Masterielcraig(op): 12:38am On Apr 01, 2019
My mum was a Poultry farmer. She really did all the labor work that comes with poultry farming and harvested from it. However, various chicken diseases outbreak stroke, leaving her picking up the pieces .With the help of an agro- vet expert, she was able to learn the common chicken diseases and how counter them. While back I paid her a visit upcountry, and she gave me some insights on how to act and remedy the most common and dangerous chicken diseases.

Infectious Bronchitis
This disease doesn’t have slight mercy when it comes calling because of its tendency to cause ‘massacre’. It is easily identifiable by its capability to make chickens sneezing, snoring, and coughing. It also causes nose and eyes drainage secretion. Bad news is, their laying will cease too.
The prevention cure is quite common – vaccination .its natural treatment is quite simple .Just give them a warm, dry place to recoup. In addition, give them a small spoon of warm herb tea and fed them fresh herbs.

Agriculture13 Easy-to-start Business Opportunities In Agriculture by Masterielcraig(op): 8:37am On Mar 09, 2019
1ST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITYRESELLING AND EXPORT OF CHARCOAL.
Buy Charcoal from the rural areas and resell in the cities Do you know that you can make 100% profit if you buy your charcoal from the farm or production site and sell to the retailers; a bag of charcoal (32 to 35kg bag) is being sold for N450 to N550 from the farm, while the retailers sell to the final
consumer at N1000 to N1,500 per bag. (Not valid ) All you need to do is to buy the charcoal from the farmers and bring it down to the major cities like Lagos, Abuja and PortHarcourt and resell to the retailers. But it is advisable to find out if they have an association in your vicinity, joining the association will allow you to operate with peace of mind. Also, you can make use of rural people to source for log of woods,then it can be burned using petrol and cut into large pieces,packaged,transported and sell in the city.

Alternatively you can sell to exporters as alarge market exists in EU, USA and ASIA with prices ranging from $170 to $300 per ton (FOB Nigerian Port), depending on mode of packaging. The charcoal industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and a money spinner for interested investors.
To start with this venture,#50,000 will be enough including miscellaneous. For business plan, feasibility study on production and exportation, contact of buyers and sellers of charcoal



BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
The trending challenge and impact of rural-urban migration have continued to generate great debates since the last three decades. Urban employment problems are a result of the phenomenal growth in urbanization and the inability of these urban centers to be able to utilize or absorb the urban labor that was created through the process of urbanization.
Approximately 50% of Nigerians are urban dwellers. At least 24 cities have populations of more than 100,000 Those moving from rural to urban areas

AgricultureStarting An Agric-business In Nigeria? What You Must Know! by Masterielcraig(op): 10:21am On Mar 02, 2019
The rising food prices present an ideal opportunity for people to go into farming-What crops would you recommend specifically for young people on a budget?
The safest option is to start out with crops such as plantain, mangoes, bananas or oranges. In the case of plantains, you can cut cost by buying suckers from an established farm owner who may demand a lower price than the market. Plantains are ideal for young people because you will not be required to spend a lot of time on the farm; you harvest 9 months after planting and provided you keep your farm clean, you can gradually build your business. Other crops such as rice, beans and cassava require too much capital for beginners.

What about Fish? There are a lot of young people interested in fish farming these days.
Fish farming can be profitable but beginners must be careful to not buy fingerlings from the wrong source. These days, hatcheries give tadpoles of all sorts and if there has been inbreeding your fish will not grow. You will need initial start up capital of 15-20k. You can buy each tadpole for about 30 naira, you will spend about 200-300 naira feeding to maturity and you can sell for a price of 500 naira each. To cut costs, you can make the hatcheries yourself.

They say that you can grow anything in Nigeria, what states are most conducive for some of our key crops?
I would recommend growing plantains in the southwest, especially coastal areas.
Benue state is very suitable for oranges and mangoes. With 5000 naira and some land you can plant oranges for an initial planting cost of 120 naira per seed.
Mangoes and oranges will also grow well in Northern Oyo and Ondo state because these states typically do not exhibit too much rainfall and the soil is well drained. The disadvantage of these crops is that it takes 4 years for you to realize any returns so is most suitable for those who are willing to make a long term investment. So if you have a bit of money to put aside, instead of putting it in the bank, it is best to invest it in orange, mango or guava farming.

AgricultureEwedu Farming In Nigeria Is Very Profitable And Lucrative by Masterielcraig(op): 8:49pm On Jan 20, 2019
Ewedu farming can actually put real money in your hands. There are so many opportunities surrounding us more than we ever think exists. White collar jobs seems to be the norm in our society today to the extent that even house wives that know what it cost both to purchase and prepare their family meals, overlook this money making opportunity in Ewedu vegetable farming and go on pursuing jobs elsewhere.

As part of making things easier for ourselves or even out-rightly starting a somewhat lucrative business that would in time become bigger than most of the tantalizing white collar jobs, it is important we try this. One acre of Ewedu (Jute leaf) can give you N500,000 in pure profit.

Practical Approach To Ewedu Farming In Nigeria
I for one used to ignore the business due to how most people handle it; by projecting it as if it’s something meant for the hopeless and poor ones to do. However, the brief discussions I had with an Ewedu dealer changed it completely.

AgricultureHow To Start Profitable Snail Farming In Nigeria (basic Guide) by Masterielcraig(op): 3:59pm On Jan 19, 2019
Snail farming in Nigeria is considered to be one of the most lucrative agribusiness you can start with low capital. Yet, it is one of the most neglected animal rearing business in these countries. Snail farming provides one of the finest opportunity to make money within a short period of time. But why are Africans not yet fully engaged in this money making animal rearing? The reason is ignorance.

In Australia and USA, snail farming is big business, providing opportunities to many farmers. In Uk, snails can be seen in many supermarkets and stores. meaning it is a big deal there. Most people in Nigeria and Ghana still have the believe that snail can only be picked in the bush. The culture of going to the bush to pick snails in the villages during raining time has been there for generations. So, it is difficult for people to come to term that snail can actually be kept and grown at home.

Just like many other aspects of farming in these countries, Africans are yet to discover the great money making potential in this business and that is why we suffer in hunger and poverty. We neglect where the money is and keep pursuing it where it is not, going from one city to the other looking for one petty China made goods after another to trade on. Laboring away in Europe and America in search of greener pastures when our own continent is already green.

AgricultureBasics On How To Become A Cabbage Farmer In Nigeria Easily by Masterielcraig(op): 6:39pm On Jan 11, 2019
The art of farming is an old tradition that has been with man. Throughout the ages, agriculture has been a basic economic activity that has witnessed tremendous improvements. Hence its capacity to lift millions of Nigerians out of the shackles of poverty is not in doubt. The dominant type of farming practiced in Nigeria is subsistence. However there are calls, programs and policies formulated to encourage commercial farming. It is in light of this that we will focus on cabbage farming. Cabbage is a popular vegetable among Nigerians. Ignorance stands in the way despite people’s interest to cultivate this crop. However this article shows you how you can take advantage of agro-business to become a cabbage farmer in Nigeria.


Cabbage Seed Germination

There are simple procedures to follow when cultivating cabbage. To obtain best results, it is necessary that you adhere to these conditions. Cabbage grows best on well drained sandy loam soils. But they are not like other crops such as maize where you directly plant its seeds on the ridges. Cabbage seedlings come in packs and are quite tiny. Cultivating in a nursery should be the first thing to consider. All-year round cultivation of cabbage is possible. This means that you can plant them in the rainy season as well as dry season. Irrigation holds the key for dry season cultivation. To do this, you would need a body of water nearby. This can be either a pond, dam or river.

Time and again, Adaeze has proven her keen ability to make a profit and to manage the most heated situations. But when her father (stalwart star Pete Edochie) falls ill, both she and her rival (Kalu Egbui Ikeagwu, boosting the marquee cast) are passed over in favour of Adaeze’s less-than-suave uncle, Godswill (Nkem Owoh, who lights up the screen with his comic presence). Determined to fight her way to the top, but not wanting to go against her father’s wishes, Adaeze feels like the proverbial bus has left the station without her.

How to Protect Your Chicks Naturally from 7 Common Illnesses
ADMIN JANUARY 6, 2019



Buying chicks from a reputable feed store, breeder or hatchery and providing them a clean, warm brooder with fresh water and feed will usually result in healthy chicks, but sometimes things go wrong. Here’s a guide to seven common problems and how to treat them naturally—without antibiotics or chemicals.

1. Coccidiosis
This is the No. 1 cause of death in baby chicks and a highly contagious parasitic disease of the intestinal tract. Red-tinted, bloody stools and lethargy are common symptoms. If you suspect a chick has coccidiosis, separate it from the flock and feed equal parts chick feed and milk mixed with plain yogurt. This will cause runny stools, which will help to flush the parasite from the intestines. Sprinkle some probiotic powder into the feed to replenish good bacteria and feed some oregano oil and cinnamon, both of which act as natural antibiotics.
While medicated feed is available for prevention of coccidiosis in chicks, a natural option includes adding apple cider vinegar, probiotic powder and garlic to your chicks’ diet to build strong immune systems.

2. Marek’s Disease
This term refers to several highly contagious viral syndromes that cause tumors and/or paralysis in birds. Partial immunity is achieved by vaccination or allowing healthy chicks limited exposure to the virus, which resides in nearly every chicken yard. As a preventative measure, ensure the brooder is clean and help chicks build strong immune systems by adding apple cider vinegar, garlic and probiotic powder to their diet.
There is no treatment for Marek’s disease, but separating infected chicks and ensuring they continue to eat, drink and keep their immune systems strong is their best chance of survival.
