Mr Enoch you've been doing wonderful job here, please i have 7.5HP diesel engine which i use for fish feed production. But since i used it mainly Saturdays i decided to buy alternator to it to power my two 1HP each pumping machine. One is submersible while the other is surface pump. I hope the engine will be able to power the two pumping machine for 10hours daily together with some energy bulb and one fan.

What type of alternator will be most suitable?

Will the engine power 3 -4 pumping machine in case of near future expansion?

What will be your opinion on this arrangement considering cost, fuel efficiency and durability?

What HP diesel engine will be suitable to power 3-4 pumping machine?

What is the price range of diesel generator that can power 4 1hp pumping machine, new and fairly used?

Do you have idea of pumping machine that requires lesser wattage for 100meter borehole?

I think I have answer ur question

Again, suspected Fulani herdsmen on Monday invaded Igbongun com­munity in Tsaav Ward of Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State, killing five people.
Only last Sunday, the herds­men struck in Tse Wankyor in the same Tsaav Ward and killed 10 and injured several others.
Yesterday’s incident brings the death toll from the two at­tacks to 15.
A source told The AUTHOR­ITY that the armed herders numbering over 50 invaded the community through the neigh­bouring Kente settlement in Tara­ba State at 11pm on Monday and unleashed terror on the people with their sophisticated weapons.
He claimed that six motorcy­cles were carted away by the ram­paging herdsmen.
The District Head of Tsaav, His Royal Highness (HRH) Jo­seph Ivuen, told The AUTHOR­ITY that the attack was unwar­ranted because they have never had issues with the Fulani cattle rearers.

The monarch said that the community had been desert­ed for fear of further attacks and called on the Federal Govern­ment to provide a lasting solu­tion to the continued invasion of Benue villages by the herdsmen.
The Chairman of Ukum Lo­cal Government Area, Hon. Si­mon Kachina, who confirmed the attacks, said that they were strange because the affected com­munities never had issues with the herdsmen and charged the authorities to intensify efforts to­wards ending such barbaric acts.
The council boss who gave the names of victims whose bod­ies had been recovered as Kery­um Mku, Terkura Ajo and Ter­hemba Gwa, added that the search for others had continued.
Kachina said: “It is most un­fortunate and the most worri­some aspect of these attacks lies in the fact that they are normal­ly carried out during cropping season and for a local govern­ment whose economic mainstay is farming, the continued sacking of our people will not augur well for our economic survival. I am appealing especially to the Fed­eral Government to put in efforts that will curtail the barbaric acts of these headsmen.”
The member represent­ing Ukum, Logo and Katsina/Ala Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr. Emmanuel Udende, said that a public hearing into the contin­ued attacks on Benue commu­nities by the herdsmen had be­gun at the Lower House.
Through his Special Assis­tant on Media, Mr. Jerry Iorn­gaem, who was at the ravaged community, the lawmaker urged his constituents not to resort to self-help.
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Moses Yamu, con­firmed the attacks.

cleavon:
Please @Ttalk..is there anywhere around abuja and kaduna axis where there is local feed mill, where you can prepare your feed and pelletised it??

abefeglobal:
PLEASE CAN I GET THE ADDRESS OF WHERE TO GET THE GRINDING AND PELLETING MACHINE ....LAGOS OR IBADAN PREFERABLE TO bobhamilton87871@gmail.com

medakinzo:
Ttalk, thanks for being one of those that have helped keep this thread one of the most informative and helpful threads, ever, on Nairaland. More power to your elbow.

Pls, I need your help too - I want to explore the possibility of fish feed formulations for my catfishes. This combination of austere times and increased prices of imported, even local, feeds is killing my budget for rearing till cropping. Come to your boy's rescue o, bossman... Lol.

My number is 08138923687 (Call and Whatsapp). You could just flash me, and I'll call back. Thx bro.

bily:
What type of fish meal are you using, seems you guys in the north are lucky, you have different varieties of fish to choose from at cheap price

@Ttalk thanks for the feed pellet and also for the great information of Grinding Guys along Abuja Kaduna Road. I was able to produce my first home formulated feed. Also to Abix Formulation

enochogaga:
I will get back to u in some minute

pearlyfish:
@Ttalk please kindly email me the address of the place where your grinding and pelleting machine was fabricated in Lagos. It will be very much appreciated. My address is osifo353@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your response.

robonski15:
How much is it sold for in the market?

robonski15:
A very good idea, i am also planning on putting in place the diesel model to perform multiple function, i am eager to see yours as i can learn a great deal from it.. Keep us posted as you progress. God bless

mercylicious:
i also recommend we stock up feeds. The main austerity measure is coming.

Am so happy another female has done it in fish farming. kudos to the op exam hall. Please imolites should help her access the market.
@examhall, try and sort your fish before you sell ooo. u also need an experienced farmer to help you make your first sale. buy a scale and use it. dont sell like lagos ppl, catfish is more expensive here in the east especially if you have the right size and right quantity. you can sell directly to market women since you just have 1500 fish. you can ask the people you buy feed from to help you with contacts of ppl dt buy in bulk.

@cleo, please inform her the current price in ihiala so that she have an idea what she is

@Ttalk that started producing local feed for his stock b4 this austerity, u don hammer be dat.

Oyalfares:
Hello dear colleagues, where can I get to pellet my feed in Abuja? Thanks

pumppie:
Hello sir, thank you very much about ur inquest relating to the information I posted. Sir, I am not amazed that you may feel an FCR of about 0.5 with corresponding weight is not achievable in 2 months plus (so many people also think same). And that is one reason I posted this model. Also note that I am not talking about TABLE SIZE here, but rather MELANGE.

I think you should look at FCR holistically. The FCR is low for catfish at a younger age (fries, fingerlings, juvenile etc) when relative growth is higher. This is why u will notice that the quantity consumed at early stages is lower with relative higher growth than later. (Ceteris paribus)
Quality of feed, stocking density, seed quality, water and overall management are all factors than can influence FCR. These factors are actually variables and that is why as farmers we can never achieve the same result. (I think we should review FCR ones more on this thread).

The information I gave I didn’t demand a kobo from anyone, I don’t sell feeds either. And I did mention that it’s not a top secrete as far as I’m concerned. I am humbled to say it is a simple model that God has been using in helping a lot of farmers offline. I have different success stories and also few failed ones too. I will share those ones too so we can pick a thing or two.

It is good to always see things not just from a theoretical perspective alone. Sir, if u can achieve 1kg and above between 4months to 5 months, why do you think it’s impossible to achieve between 300g and 500g in 2.5? (Ceteris paribus). Honestly speaking if by 2.5 months you don’t have an average of 300g to 500g from ur stocked group then u should critically examine ur practice and find out what is missing before it’s too late.

Someone just posted his achievements using Ziegler feed which in all honesty is one of my favorite. But due to cost and sometimes availability, this is why I always try out new feeds; document there results so as to help anyone I’m dealing with no matter ur budget. To be successful in this business, I think we should go beyond seeing ourselves as internet farmers. I’m sure some might think I was going to post something outside the ordinary like an ‘abrakadabra’ (lol). But I did mention that it’s not cheap, it’s not new but can guarantee success in a short period. Regards.
