The first step to planting cassava is land preparation which begins with using tractor to prepare the land,or where tractor is not available bush clearing and chemical application as discoursed earlier .

This is a pictorial and analytical explanation of raising birds from day old to maturity using broilers , But note that the birds used in the illustration are not from same farm but they from different farms but with proper illustration on the current size and age as to what is generally acceptable. after successfully building   a broader or cage as the case maybe, the next step will be to wash the broader using detergent and hypo or jik as the case maybe sometimes u may have to get to your vet doctor and ask for available disinfectant , this is done to make sure the broader is free from any microbial organism and viral organism which if not remove may live as a para cite on the birds and cause more damage due to infections. And the bad news is that they weaken the immune system of the birds thereby making drugs not effective in treating the birds. This picture shows after wash of a broader ,it will be allowed to dry at least for a full day to make sure that the...

In raising birds we have recommended drugs and vaccines that are to be given to the birds diligently, This drugs and vaccines are supposed to be given to prevent likely viral and bacteria attacks on the birds , as you know of the saying that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. This is true because when bacteria or viral infection attack the birds they weaken their immune system and thereby leaving them vulnerable.But when the treats are given it prevents this break down. Sometimes because of human activity in the farms some bacteria may follow a farm to his farm ,thru the objects we carry in to the farm thats why Bio security is advised, but where the bio security fails to arrests such situations we have available treatments for such. The calendar for raising birds are available for those who buy their day old from us or those who request such from us, the reason behind non pasting it for everyone to see is to avoid mistakes in the usuage ,But anyone one that needs it can simply chat M...

The First step at raising good birds starts from having a good brooding house,once u put up a good broader to house the chicks ,the next thing will be quality of birds. Here in Nigeria we have many good hatchery that can give you good day old chick. But its always good to consider what your target market is , to enable good decision on the type of bird needed.what am saying here is that some broilers are better for body weight such birds will be more beneficiary to a target market of Frozen meat seller.While broilers that will give u good height ,shinning red crown and weight such broilers are best for life sales during festivals . while in buying cockrails some times your locality decides on your choice of colour , some places prefer the black cockrails to the white and some may even prefer the brown to the black or white but all in all the have same management system but colour differentials. for the benefit of new poultry owners or intending poultry owners we offer deli...

We shall be looking at maize we have two main colours of commercial maize in Nigeria, we have the yellow maize and the white maize Depending on your location in Nigeria both Maize are very commercially viable. As for me, i prefer the yellow maize because in my location in the south west, the demand for the yellow maize is higher.  Most consumers here believe its sweeter, For me i cant really say so, But in business the customer is the king so i plant the yellow maize . The plough attached to a tractor used in ploughing Some people may ask what specie i plant, First of all any good hybrid seed will do well using the best farming practice ,But i plant Sammaz 39 That dosent mean that its the best but thats the better one always Available to me some farmers even prefer some trusted local breed due to its adaptation to their environment but i dont go for that Because sometimes it may back fire. In farming the first step to a successful Harvest is land clearing depending on t...
