Engineers in the house. Just got a Lenovo a3800-d for my sister. It was written that Sim 1 has 4G/3G/2G but unfortunately I've been unable to switch to 3G on that phone.
I've browsed the internet for possible solutions still nothing useful. I'll be glad if anyone could help me out.
During my quest for a solution, i got to find out the 4G/3G could only work in China. I know there's a way round about this.
Thank you guys as i await your directions on how to proceed.

Hello house,
Pls what causes paralysis in broilers apart from their body weight? Almost all my broilers can't walk again and this really affected sales.
Some died too along the line.
They were 17weeks on Thurs.

Add Vira mix together with tylodox

i got the Tylo-dox extra WSP @ 1800. pls how much is the vira mix? and it's purpose?
In other news, i already have 3KG brolier o in case anybody is interested to buy in IB. I'm sure by the time i reweigh next week sat it should be close to 3.5kg+

Hello house, my broilers were 10weeks old on Thursday. i noticed some of them giving out green stools. I already gave them Lasota few weeks ago.
I got Tylo-dox extra few days ago too cos am tired of their snoring sounds. They are just 19 birds.
Pls any reason for their green stool? and how can it be prevented?

Good day people, Pls i need help o and its very urgent. I discovered few hrs ago one of my broilers staying idle n looking weak. I separated it from the others. Its looking really weak and has loss some weight too. Not eating or drinking water either.
Its excreting green(95%) and Yellow(5%) shit. I gave them Lasota not quite long.
Pls what can i do or buy to save this it from dying?
I already gave it water that has multivitamins through a means of syringe.

Update: It died eventually..... so annoying!

so nobody can at least tell me why i had that mortality, what i need to do to avoid future mortality. What may have caused its sudden appetite disappearance, the cause for the yellow n green stool. All of una just abandon my post and moved on. Sigh

The grower feed will slow their growth and reduce their weight so if I where u I will maintain my finisher for best results if u think the birds are too big reduce their feed but u will need to double it later and support with vitamins

Are you saying I should switch back to giving them super starter sir? Or you mean i should start giving them finisher from now on bearing in mind they're still going to December. I await your response sir.

noeloge82:
It's CRD always repeat treatment every 2wks and make sure to avoid dust or anything smoke

Ok then. So I should stick with the Tylomax I'm giving them abi or is there a better one i could change to? The only dust i can think of is probably the ones from the wood shavings in their house.

noeloge82:
Thanks
U can ask ur question by the Grace of God we will do our best to answer u and make u happy

Thank you. I would like to know if I should continue with the grower feed I'm giving them

This particular one ehn.. Just like scattering everywhere in their house. I isolated it at a time when i noticed it wasn't growing at all. Funny enough its a Male
Its currently weighing 800g. I've joined it back with the others now sha

DogWhisperer:
My broiler at 6 week

They are looking good.

So here's my broilers journey. I got 20pieces at 3weeks 2days old at the rate of 500naira each. To be honest, they were not well fed and were being fed Hybrid feeds. I took up the challenge of getting my birds in shape by getting 2bags of Topfeed super starter and Vitamix. I'll post the results gotten at 7weeks 2days as i weighed them one after the other.
Just few of them didn't respond well. Now I've switched back to Grower to slow down their growth. They will finish Two bags of Topfeed grower by Thurs. They will be 8weeks by Thurs.
I'll upload pictures pretty soon.
So far since I've purchased them they've eaten 1½ bags of Topfeed super starter and 2 bags of Topfeed grower (to finish by Thurs)
Any advice from the house?

My present issue is this... I noticed recently that my broilers are having funny sounds like they're having catarrh or snoring sound sha. I consulted few people and was given diff suggestions.
Anyways, i was advised to get SMC or Tylodox but on getting their i couldn't so i was advised at the Vet shop to get Tylomax as my birds are just 20 in numbers.
I gave them Tylomax for 5days during which i noticed the sound stop only for me to start hearing the annoying sounds again yesterday. It got me worried again.. Pls house what can i do to avert this ish once and for all...?

I greet you all in this thread o. I'm glad to have stumbled upon this thread at this moment.
I have so many questions to ask as regards my broilers.
Oga noeloge82, You've been doing a great job. May God reward you abundantly for this selfless acts

pls send to me also saintee2009@yahoo.com

m having d same issue, hv you resolved yours nd hw did u do it?

please how did you guys fixed this "possibe file upload attack"
Its really frustrating

Hello house,
Please can anyone update us with the latest prices of the fish feeds. This would really help us intending farmers to know what we are up against and plan ahead.
Thank you all.

rhef:
Zeigler fish feed is better than any other as robonski15 has said. But due to its scarcity in Ibadan. I advice that you buy Skretting fish feed.
You may connect Pastor Niyi Adenikinju (08052011955, 08063351602). Tell him to supply you 'good' fingerlings/juveniles. I may give you a feed seller no. for current feed price later.

Thank you sir for the timely response.

Greetings to you all. Please i would like know what feed is best to start with for fingerlings/juveniles that is cost effective in this economy plus their current weight and price. I mean 25kg/7000niara blah blah blah.
Thank you as i await response.
Also, I'd like if anyone can direct me to where i can get reliable fingerlings in Ibadan.

Godspeed sir

And this made front page? Chaiii. How does this improve our economy? #Sigh

Front seat taken! Time to bring out my jotter and pen!! More blessings sir.
Honestly if u were south west based, I would have volunteered with you for free just to tap from your wealth of experiences in the field!!
Ride on sir!

This are very interesting and original excel spreadsheets produced by myself and Abdulwastecx during our undergraduate final project to assist in structural analysis of structural members.
I beleive they would be usefull for any student/ engr looking at doing some structural analysis.
If you have problem downloading them..contact me via mail or whatsapp and i shall send them to you.

Thank you very much sir. Really appreciate sir.

Construction Dates

The ground floor stage of the construction commenced on 17th of April, 2016. The DPC-First floor slab stage continued till the 25th of April, 2016 before completion.

Construction Operations
During the construction, involve the performance of the under listed task:

- Placement of the Ground floor column reinforcements
- Curing of the DPC
- Ground Floor Block work up to lintel level
- Placement of plumbing pipes
- Placement of lintel reinforcements
- Placement of formwork for ground floor columns and lintel
- Concrete work for ground floor columns and lintel
- Ground floor block work from lintel level to first floor slab level

RESULTS

Placement of Ground floor column reinforcements
The column starter bars were extended up to the first floor level with the reinforcement specifications by the structural engineer. A total of 55 Y16 and 37 Y8 was used for the extension.

Curing of DPC
The concrete was cured to enable the DPC achieve its full strength. A water hose was used.

Fig 1.1 concrete curing
Ground Floor blockwork up to lintel level
The blocks were laid based on the architectural specifications. A total of 3517 number of 9” blocks was laid while 90 number of 6” block was laid. 50 bags of cement was used for the mortar joint.

Placement of plumbing pipes
There was a change from the agreed type of plumbing work to be executed for the building . The change involved a switch from surface to conduit plumbing, which caused the chiseling and breaking of the dc and walls respectively. The openings created was patched with mortar. A total of 2 bags was used to patch up the openings.

3.6 Placement of formwork for ground floor columns and lintel
The formwork was placed with precision and adequate brace to avoid
failure of the formwork. A total of 93 number of planks was used.
Fig 1.7 columns braced to building code specifications.

Fig 1.8 columns and lintel braced to building code specifications.

Concrete work for ground floor columns and lintel
This was done in accordance to the Nigerian building code and the structural engineers specifications. The lintel was constructed along the entire perimeter of the building to prevent sancrete block cracks and allow for adjustment of the building plan during future renovations. A total of 106 bags of cement was used for the concrete work.

Attached to this trend is my specially designed spreadsheet to simplify moment calculations for civil engineers and also for Students to use to better understand Reinforced Concrete Analysis and Design. The Engine of the calculation sheet was three moment equation by Clapeyron, Feel free to ask Questions especially for Civil Engineering students

Good morning sir, You didn't attach the excel spreadsheet as promised sir. sorry 4 dragging you bk to this old thread. Thank you sir

Making of concrete cover: Dimensions of cover for slab 75x75x 25mm Type of curing : wet

A little explanation sir for olodos like me in the house. Thank you sir.

abdulwastecx:
More updates
Formwork to dpc
Casting of stair starter bar

I noticed the hollow blocks were not filled with concrete prior to casting of the dpc. A little insight sir. Thanks sir.
Sorry for my numerous questions sir.

abdulwastecx:
the column base were specify to be 1100mm x 1100mm and 450mm thick

the reinforcement for the pad footing is 1100-50 = 1050mm, allowing a cover of 25mm both side.
the spacing of the reinforcement is 150mm center to center , 1050/150 = 7 bars both ways making a total of 14 bar
anchorage length of 150mm both side making a total of 1050 + 300mm = 1500mm

total number of bar for the 36 pad footings = 12/1.5 = 8bars per each length of iron
since i need 36 x 14 = 504nr of bars /8
we will be needing 63 length of Y12 for the 36 foundation footings

for the remaining two combine footing of dimension 2100mm x 1100mm ( we realize that 1800mm x1100mm will be inadequate so we have to change the longer side to 2100mm)
the pad is doubly reinforced because of the action or hogging moment

Sorry sir, i "think" there was a minor mistake in the calculation. (1050 + 300 = 1350) thereby making it 12m(length of reinforcement in m) divided by 1350mm(1.35m) = 8.888nos.
On other hand, i guess you used 1.5m so as to get accurate figure ( right? Just a little clarification needed. Thank you sir.

abdulwastecx:
more information about the isolated pad footing also non as column base.
we have two type of these footings as specified by the design enginner.
pad type one with plan dimension of 1100mm x 1100mm and depth of 450mm (18"
pad type two of two number with plan dimension of 1800mm x 1100mm and depth of 45mm (18"

How do we achieve this on site?
we get the job done by first digging the strip footings up to the required depth of 900mm and after that the space for the pad is dug down byand additional 250mm

Good day sir, sorry for dragging you bk a bit. Does that mean we'll have to dig down an additional 250mm for the isolated footing? Making the total (900 + 250) Moreso, why 250mm when the depth of the isolated footing is 450mm? Thanks for your usual clarification. Huge fan. Graduate civil engineer
