*BLACK SOLDIERS FLIES (BSFL) MAGGOTS FARM SET UP* *_How you can drastically cut down cost of feeding fish/poultry/rabbits/ruminants using bsfl maggots and still get a very good results._* We are a team of farmers that help to set up maggots farms. We shall construct the housing We will set up the maggots farm Teach you how to run the farm Do follow up after farm set up. When you produce yourself your feed cost is as low as N100/kg. A farm that use 10 bags (150kg) of feed /weekly for example. When using maggots they will only need to buy 3 bags(45kg) weekly of conventional fish feed plus 105kg maggots to make up .In that way cutting the feed cost by 70%. *Depending on the age of your fish, you can do 70% maggots & 30% conventional fish feed or 90% maggots & 10% conventional fish feed* . *ADVANTAGES OF USING BSFL MAGGOTS* (1) It reduces cost of feeding drastically (2) It does not pollute water because maggots does not dissolve in water like regular feed. (3) Any maggot the fish has not eaten will come back to the surface and float until they pick it . (4) It's a safer way for humans because bsf maggot is organic (5) Very high protein content. The crude protein of bsfl maggots stand between 40-67% (6) A farmers can go for less nutrition feed in the market (which of course will be cheaper) as back up for bsfl maggots (7) bsfl contains over 17 essential amino acids which is organic so when using bsfl maggots as feed for fish, u have less worried about their health. ( The waste from the maggots farm is organic fertilizer (9) Maggot is feed to poultry birds & rabbits (10) Maggots make fish grow faster & bigger (11) When the farm is setup, you harvest maggots on a continuous daily basis if the cycle is not broken. (12) It can give you *daily income year round if you do commercial production & you sell maggots to fish/poultry/rabbits farmers* *3 Types of Maggots Farm Set ups* *A) Mini farm...You get 10-20kg maggots per day* *B) Semi - Commercial maggots farm producing 1 ton per week* *C) Commercial maggots farm producing 8 -10 tons per week* *_Farms can be in any part of 9ija or any Africa country._* *Call* *Gbenga:08136650972 or WhatsApp 08120528950* *For maggots farms set up* .

BoluwGoldenFarm: With all due respects sir, ur write up is misleading. Bsf doesn't make it safe for you to use low nutritional feed as u stated, bsf is high in protein n fats, nothing more than that, in other words u need high quality feed to go with this, the only good thing is u use roughly 40%-50% of the feed wen using bsf compared to wen u don't use it.. If u deprive ur farm of good nutrition u might smile for months but wen paralisis n sudden death starts don't use d phrase "my village people" Also don't advice people to feed their rabbits with animal fat.. Animal fat is high in cholesterol which is very bad for rabbits, rabbit meat is all protein, they are lean meat, they don't need animal fat or protein, their diet should be strictly based on greens as they are habivoire.. There's also something known as cannibalism in rabbits, the mother eats the babies immediately after birth, research linked this to ignorant feed producers that produce feed using animal fat or protein because they want a quicker growth.. Cannibalism can never be corrected n it's a Gene that passes to the surviving offspring, so abeg.. No advice people feed dair rabbits maggots.. We rabbit farmers no plenty, |

BSFL has proteins fats, and some other minerals actually... But that doesn't negate the news for nutritious feed... They can look to formulating feeds n substitute the BSFL for fish meal or soya bean meal |

Hello everyone! Just realizing its been more than 2 years since this project started!!! Well, I took a pause from this project after covid hit because I didn’t have access to the farm. I lost hundreds of chicks that I hatched to bad management, and weather (which was mostly my fault) and decided to sell off all the breeding chickens. Literally just three chicks survived, we left them foraging around the farm with no care/attention. One later died, and we were left with 2 hens. One of my workers saw how dismissive I have been with the chickens because they were already starting to lay with no cock around. He “borrowed” a rooster for me and before I knew it, the farm was becoming full with chickens. All this time, we just slaughtered and ate them . It was only recently I decided to sell some, and honestly the money motivated me . It felt like free money, seeing that I wasn’t feeding them at all. So I have dusted off the incubator, made some adjustments, and I’m ready to get this pet project going again! So excited!!! I will try and take a headcount of how many chickens I have now on the farm, and take pictures! Hopefully this time around, I’ll make more time to properly train my workers, supervise, and everything goes well!!!!! 4 Likes |

Farouq94: Since my last post, I noticed that we’ve reached a point where we have too many hens about to start laying, and without any care, we’ll end up at ground zero again. The rain is starting soon and that is when they lay the most because of abundant feed (grasses and bugs). This time around I’m bringing the breeding chickens closer to home, I will feed them and properly account for their productivity. First batch came in today, 1 cock and 5 hens. Headcount is happening tonight, here are the ones I was able to capture…. 1 Like

Two weeks later, the birds have acclimated to the new environment and have started laying. I brought in a total of 15 hens and 2 roosters, and left the rest on the farm. So far we have 16 eggs, most of the hens are first time layers so I’m expecting an “eggs-plosion” in the coming weeks. 1 Like
