huru:
. @ Obnelly how much is a good salary for farm attendants in a farm of 1000 and/or 5000 birds capacity? What disciplinary action would you take on your farm attendants if you lost 29 laying birds due to heat and 2 surface pumping machines, as a result of his/her failure to server/pump water for birds, and to use fogger or spray water on them. My people poultry business is very stressful especially when you have attendants who aren't serious and/or do not value your investment. It's not also easy to get loyal employees nowadays, it will help us all if farm management challenges and solutions are discus/shared, so we all can learn.

Huru, the bottom line is an average Nigerian is just too lazy they are not so productive and yet the want to make fortunes out of their employers.They want instant money on a daily bases this is one of the reasons why this country find it so difficult to move forward.No matter how hard you try for them that laziness and stealing atitude is always in their DNA.
I will also appreciate it if we can discuss the minimum wages to pay farm workers managing 1000birds .I wantto know if am over paying or underpaying my workers.

@Obnelly, i quite agree with your above stated controls. It could go a long way in checking pilfering on our farms.

However what do you consider "good salary"? that would temper the greed and fraudulent minds of some of these Staff.[/quot

It all depend on ones farm capacity.if you have a farm of over five thousand birds and you are paying equivalent of a thousand birds farm .stealing will come in.although stealing is part of some people you can't stop them no matter how fat their salaries is but I believe you can checkmate them.
Also employ somebody who is ready to learn from your wealth of experience, make him feel sense of belonging.And a times tip him for the job well done by rewarding him not necessarily from dead chicken or eggs but in cash and kind.
Encourage him on how he can further his studies beyond your farm level.
Let him visit you at home enjoy and share some meal with him.for example if you have plantain in your farm after harvesting call him and say oh Bayo this is your own share rather than you eating the whole plantain.

I apply this rules in my farm and it works like magic.No matter how stressful the day may be I still drive to my farm to see how the days job is done.

she died

Next time when you observe any wound or abnormal behaviour remove the bird and provide first aid
treatment.
By attending or visiting your farm on daily bases supervising your staff work will curtail them from killing your bird.tell your staff the total number of birds in the pen.if any one is missing tell them you will deduct it from their salary. Any mortality must be examined and recorded.if your morality chart is going up then your staff are playing over you the same thing is applicable to eggs proper recording will give you what is going on in your farm.
Pay good salary to your worker

@All ,let think about dis Paksat bird issue :
Firstly ,their is some fringe bird that får than Paksat . satellite like Nilesat , Hispasat ,Sky uk ,Hotbird .but the funny matter is that the paksat beam is reach to region than Nilesat ,and will use 2.4m dish to get Nilesat and canal package on hotbird . that mean ,we can use 2.4m and snové to pick Paksat bord in naija .If you want to confirm ,just contact any member in Ondo Státě .

Nothing is impossible. But are you sure its receivable in Ondo state with 2.4m dish?

I read from pages 0 to 91 in three days. Loads of info here.

I am an experienced poultry apprentice/student courtesy of my Dad who ran a medium sized poultry for about 20 years. He retired about 2 years ago due to ill-health and none of us were willing to continue the business.

Now I think I am ready to pick up the mantle because ny love for poultry is drawing me back


Good for you.You don't need MBA or ph.D to be successful in this business all you need is just first degree and zeal to do things right in a more professional way.You don't think of driving 'Bugatti'on the road but your assets ,time and dedication to the business can give you rest of mind for the rest of your life and in the long run you will be a happy man.

someone just told me that obasanjo doc is always having problem, that he lost so many when he bought. I took have lost 4 between Tuesday to Thursday, I pray God will help me with this set o

Doc losses heat so rapidly so they need external source of heat to maintain their body temperature.if the temperature of the brooding house is not well regulated and properly monitored you might loss the whole flock.Most hatcheries want to sell good doc and make household name but what about the breeders who can't handle doc properly.we shouldn't blame hatcheries but breeders.Before we make purchase of doc or point of lay we should as the hatcheries operators and breeders some professional questions.
Since 2008 I have been using CHI .

faithchild in terms fringe receptions you need to concetrate and determine and for you to archive best result or to know if your dish has a problem or not first track dstv signal on this frequence 12245h27500 and after getting the maximum signal at least 98% then blindscan your receiver and if everything goes well you will get ZAP package on the same dstv position which is 11222v30000.
From there your journey to fringe reception begins and your second uption also is multi tv position where you can get sky uk , track multi tv with 12522V27000 and blindscan if everything works well you will get sky uk try this and let me know.

You are very correct but those two fringe satellite you mentioned zap and sky UK aren't on that dstv and multitv position you need to move a little upward away from the spot for you to get it.still a good benchmark to get fringe signal.Thumbs up.

please fnk, I just came on board after a lot of searching for what to add to my meagre salary, although I have been with naira land for a very long time. please my point is am going into backyard poultry this week, I would have even started but work has not allowed me to go buy my Doc, but before Saturday I will go. please I hate to see my birds die and I beg you in God's name to give me this so called wonderful solution and here is my email address glowtpride011@yahoo.com. pleeeeeeeese help make a happy heart. thank you and God bless you in return

If you don't want to see your chicken dying then don't try it.chickens are bound to die but all you can do is to reduce your mortality.Its all about what works for you not necessarily what works for Mr.A .Start small and discover how you can gradually reduce your mortality,how to prevent diseases and cultivate good poultry management.
Good luck and happy farming as you start small and grow big.

Hi Everyone,

Just re-posting if it was missed. Kindly let me know if there is any shop is Lagos or Alaba that sells original Technomate receivers directly from the manufacturers in Korea. (Looks like when it gets to UK the price is highly inflated)

Thanks


Not too sure about that but you might Google techno mate shop in Dubai or visit technomat website you will see their accredited agent there.
Good luck brother.

True ooo, I am sure you can put something together, are you able to get the materials that you will need locally? There is a farm I visited sometime ago, they have a pit that they flush the poo into and some farmers or fish farmer come to pack them, So thinking about it, using a power hose to flush the poo on a daily bases. But then, the smell is a function of wetness that creates the chemical reaction, So, the deal is to keep the poo dry. I have not really invested time to check things out though, because I am not doing layers at the moment, and in my broilers pen, I am installing DIY water drinker (using the nipples) I will hang them up by tomorrow, that will cut the wetness by almost 80%, because the attendants while changing the water, spill a lot on the floor, and the birds step into it, and even knock over the water holder every now and then. So, with this system, we don't have to worry again about wetness as a result of water, only through their poo which can be managed. Also, there is a DIY I saw on using a 4" PVC pipe to construct their feeder, in such a way that they won't spill the feed on the floor. There will be a small mechanism that will help push the feed through the pipe so that the attendants are not going through the pen filling one feeder at a time, also this will curtail feed wastage. With all this in place the work will be less tedious for my staffs, it will also curtail mortality as their will always be fresh water running in the water drinker.
As I think about entering the layers market before this year runs out, I will start doing some investigation, though I have the largest space in the area where my farm is, at the same time I don't want to a nuisance to them, I want to be corporate responsible. LOL!!!

I love that.This is the time to make that profession a better profession for all.we should try and standardise our farms at least to make it more attractive using locally available materials.we can do it.

Try to keep the liter from getting so wet, that means changing the liter regularly, it is not going to be easy, but that is about what you have to do. Good luck

Yes it is n't going to be easy but if you are able to derive some bio based products out of it the packing of the litters won't be stress as it will serve as raw materials for your farm house.During brooding you won't need any heat source other than the litters

Fnk I am still sourcing for materials I wanna do it yourself a manure conyeyor belt to pull droppings from 1200 birds in battery cages.I see manure handling as one of the big challenges in poultry business and its one of the reasons why that job isn't so attractive to employees."Nobody wanna smell shit yet they wanna spend shit money"
Agriculture / Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by obnelly: 3:22pm On Jan 21, 2015
Heat stress is here .How do we prevent our chickens from this deadly weapon .low feed consumption, shelless egg,drop in eggs sizes,drop in eggs production ,mortality etc .let's discuss the way forward and the best management during this period couple with avian flu in some parts of the country.
Cheers

If you are good enough you will not use sat finder.most people here use their instincts to track satellite.once you can differentiate between your east and west you are good to go.I have that app on my phone but I hate using it it compounds my problems.

@ifyking, i track it with 60cm dish in Abuja nigeria, and it is even on lnb attached on amos 5 setup, and am using srt 4922A

On motorised set up this champion TV is not on the same spot with multitv.After you have gotten your multitv input champion and lower your dish a little.if you do that your multitv will drop by 1-2% but you will be fine to have champion TV.
My question is can this TV really be free.?

The local oscillator of the lnb setting on the decoder should be set properly at 9750/10600 for Ku band lnb..depending on the lnb type if you use wrong settings...the receiver will misinterpret Tp frequencies (that is why 10992 is working on 11727)..I think the feed was off the center of the dish that is why you receive zuku with dish pointing towards west...you may not be able to track multi TV at 28east..since receiver/decoder is using wrong lnb settings!

I think the dish has a problem and receiver using wrong lnb settings!check receiver settings..

CHEERS!

Thanks for that swift reply.I will try and do as directed.I will also change the lnb to the one am using at home.I doubt if that lnb is the right lnb for the job.

I will like a professional satellite installer who has handle 4m dish and above to contribute to this especially odilibe et al.
A friend with 5m dish want Beinsport on Ab7 in their estate.As a matter of fact I didn't check if the dish is in good condition or not.I swung into action .input nss7 tp and start tracking after spending more than hours without no success I shifted to ab7 nwa beam using aljazeera news tp after spending hours a tp pop up with 58% I blind scan to confirm if am in the right satellite and channel to my surprise I was able to scan zuku tp s that suppose to be 11727 on 10992 that belong to aljazeera news on ab7 nwa my question now is that tp is the only tp the stupid dish can pick.o tried multi TV to same 58% no green all red even at 58&
What could be the problem is it the tracking decoder or the dish because I can't believe such a big dish should give me headache to track nss7 and I don't know why 10992 is working for 11727.
I will all appreciate your professional contributions though I have suspended the tracking for now.
