Rearing Turkey organically is a process whereby u raise turkey in pen( deeplitter), and allow them to graze on a ranch/garden after giving them feed in d early hours of d day.
It actually reduces cost but from my experience, it reduces fat in turkey and makes them stronger and healthier which is prefered for human consumption.

peacemaranatha:
Well done op. Pls I have this question to ask. How can one rear turkey organically? We buy feeds for them and they are doing well or will the organic method makes them grow more and cut cost. Is there any disadvantages with this method pls I need information

Agriculture / Re: TURKEY Farming. How Profitable? by GGfadar(m): 5:43am On Nov 04, 2015
You can get 4weeks old Turkey for 1,300 and can be sold between 12k - 15k depending on ur location...

There's no technical difference but economic difference considering d cost of fencing 1 acre/hectare. I av plantain on one acre farm which I used a part to raise cattle, they're gradually destroying my plants and sincerely the plants are doing great dis year.
I only used dis plot just to avoid crop destruction.
Another reason is about d enviroment, the plot is not close to any crop farm where I will always settle issues of farm destruction.
If anyone has enough capital to run 20 hectare cattle ranch succesfully and puts all facilities in place, then, no problem.
The capital involve will decide how large u can grow.



There's enough pasture and security threats is not an issue cos dis is a developing area where no one else is raising such animals.

3plots is enough to raise d flock if and only if there's enough pasture around. The plots of land will serve as a camp during the night and they can graze around during the day

About keeping rabbits close to cow ?, I don't think its ok though I av no proof against it but they've nothing in common but Turkey can do well with cow, sheep and goats if one desides to raise Turkey organically

Talking about issues with snakes, the herdsman takes care of that although I've never experienced snake attacks with large animal. I only know snakes attack poultry.
Pls which of the rodents do u think can attack a cow




I hope I've answered u ?


dgitrader:


Nice work GGfadar. I follow you keenly.
1.What are the technical and economic differences between this your new one plot ranch and the one hectare ranch u always advocated.

2.Also, how do u deal with security threats from well armed catle rustlers who recently operate in urban environments.
3.Can three PLOTS of 50*100 land be sufficient for a new herder? Bearing in mind turkey and rams to be added.
4.Is there any threat rearing rabbits near cattles and rams.
5.Using wire fence as shown, how do u deal with snakes and deadly rodents?

I will personally contact you, just want you to respond openly here so that many others can continually learn and be inspired too.

Agriculture / Re: Fulani/bororo Wahala by GGfadar(m): 11:33pm On Sep 19, 2015
On point


ogb5:


Your suggested solution is not possible in Nigeria.

The Fulani cattle herders have 2 different armed wings.
If their cows start dying they will send one of their armed wing to kill and rape the farmers.

That is why you hear of so much conflicts between the cattle herders and farmers. If the cows destroy crops and the farmers kill the cows in retaliation, the cattle herders simply call in their armed guards who come in with rifles to kill the farmers.

If their armed guards is overpowered by the farmers, the Fulani cattle herders simply call in the military to shoot the farmers into submission. The farmers don't have any countermeasures against the military that is why the farmers are always losing the battle against the cattle herders.

It is sad that the Nigerian military is the 2nd armed wing of the Fulani cattle herder and routinely kill farmers in support of the Fulani cattle herders.

I still believe fencing each farm with barbed wires or electric fence will be the best way each individual farmer can protect his crops.

Also farmers needs to deal with traitors among the community. From my experience, the cattle herders normally pay someone within the community who in turn gives them the go ahead to graze on grass in the community. If you don't want Fulani cattle to destroy your crops, don't take money from them with the promise of allowing them to graze their cattle in the community. And southerners need to start opening ranches and keeping cattle. That way we can limit nomadic herding of cattle in the south.

Ranching is much more better but cost of setting up a ranch in this country kinda high, land purchase and other important factors/facilities.
I believe a group can make this happen....

Fence ur farm with plants/crops like maize and sray some crazy harmful/poisonous chemicals, once the flock starts dying, they won't grave around ur farm anymore.

It might sound odd but animals eating up ones labour too is just same as my idea of spraying chemicals to end d fulani/bororo labour.

Its not easy to fence a farm with wire fence when u think about d cost.

I keep animals too but always make sure they don't go into anyones farm......
