DO IT YOURSELF
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN QUALITY POULTRY FEED.

As a Farmer, you can create your own poultry feed using the Pearson Square method. This method helps ensure that the feed contains the right amount of digestible crude protein (DCP), which is essential for the nutrition of chickens.

Here’s how you can do it:

Ingredients and Their DCP Values:
- Whole maize: 8.23%
- Soya: 45%
- Fishmeal (omena): 55%
- Maize bran: 7%
- Sunflower: 35%

For example, if you want to make feed for laying hens (layers), the feed should have at least 18% crude protein.

Making a 70kg Bag of Feed for Layers:
To make a 70kg bag of feed with 18% crude protein, you need:
- 34kg of whole maize
- 12kg of soya
- 8kg of fishmeal (omena)
- 10kg of maize bran
- 6kg of lime (as a calcium source)

Calculating Crude Protein:
To check if the feed meets the 18% protein requirement, do the following calculations:
- Whole maize: 34kg × 8.23 ÷ 100 = 2.80%
- Soya: 12kg × 45 ÷ 100 = 5.40%
- Fishmeal: 8kg × 55 ÷ 100 = 4.40%
- Lime: 6kg × 0 ÷ 100 = 0.00%

Total crude protein = 2.80% + 5.40% + 4.40% = 12.60%

To get the total crude protein percentage in the 70kg bag:
12.60% ÷ 70kg × 100 = 18%

So, the feed has 18% crude protein, which is perfect for layers.

Ready-Made Formulations:
To make it even easier, here are ready-made feed formulations for different stages of chicken growth:

Chick Mash (1-4 weeks)
Ingredients for a 70kg bag:
- 31.5kg whole maize
- 9.1kg wheat bran
- 7.0kg wheat pollard
- 16.8kg sunflower or linseed
- 1.5kg fishmeal
- 1.75kg lime
- 30g salt
- 20g premix amino acids
- 70g tryptophan
- 3.0g lysine
- 10g methionine
- 70g threonine
- 50g enzymes
- 60g coccidiostat
- 50g toxin binder

Growers Mash (4-8 weeks)
Ingredients for a 70kg bag:
- 10kg whole maize
- 17kg maize germ
- 13kg wheat pollard
- 10kg wheat bran
- 6kg cotton seed cake
- 5kg sunflower cake
- 3.4kg soya meal
- 2.07kg lime
- 700g bone meal
- 3kg fishmeal
- 14g salt
- 1g coccidiostat
- 18g pre-mix
- 1g zinc bacitracitrach

Water Requirements of Poultry

Water is a critical, but often overlooked, nutrient. Animals can survive longer without food than they can without water. Water is involved in every aspect of animal metabolism. It plays an important role in regulating body temperature, digesting food, and eliminating wastes. At normal temperatures, chickens typically consume twice as much water as feed. During periods of high temperature, water consumption can double or quadruple. To remain healthy, poultry flocks require water of adequate quality and quantity.

Several factors influence water quality, including the color, taste, and odor of water, as well as the presence of bacteria or other microbes, the levels of minerals, and other chemical and physical factors.

Color, Taste, and Odor

It is important that drinking water be clear, tasteless, odorless, and colorless. Water that is contaminated exhibits different characteristics depending on the contaminants.

The presence of particles such as clay, silt, or organic material can make water cloudy. Such water can interfere with the proper operation of watering equipment and can indirectly lead to adverse effects on flock performance.
Water that is reddish-brown might contain excess iron.
A blue hue to water can be an indication of excess copper.
A rotten egg smell is an indication of hydrogen sulfide in water. Hydrogen sulfide may also combine with iron to form black water (iron sulfide), which can also indicate the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
The taste of water can be affected by the presence of different salts. A bitter taste, for example, is associated with the presence of ferrous and manganese sulfates.

Bacteria

Bacteria in the water can be an indication of contamination by organic material. Water is normally tested for total bacteria level as well as coliform bacteria level. Coliform bacteria are organisms normally found in the digestive tracts of livestock, humans, and birds.

Poultry Feed Formulation for Broilers
============================

Making your own poultry feed for broiler chickens involves ensuring that the nutritional needs of the birds are met for optimal growth. Broiler feed is typically divided into different stages: starter, grower, and finisher. Here's how to make poultry feed for each stage.

Ingredients
The following ingredients are commonly used in broiler feed:

1. Maize (Corn): A good source of energy for the chickens.
2. Soybean Meal: A rich source of protein, essential for growth.
3. Fish Meal or Meat Meal: Another source of protein to boost growth.
4. Wheat Bran: Provides fiber and additional nutrients.
5. Limestone: Source of calcium for strong bones.
6. Dicalcium Phosphate: Provides both phosphorus and calcium.
7. Salt: Helps in maintaining electrolyte balance.
8. Vitamin and Mineral Premixes: Ensure adequate vitamins and trace minerals.
9. Coccidiostat or Antibiotic (optional): Helps in disease prevention, especially during the early stages.
10. Sunflower Meal: Another protein source and good for digestion.
11. Rice Bran: Provides energy and fats for the chickens.
12. Oyster Shell: Another calcium source to ensure strong eggshells.
13. Molasses: Adds sweetness and energy, and improves feed palatability.
14. Lysine and Methionine: Essential amino acids for protein synthesis and growth.
15. Probiotics and Enzymes: Improve digestion and nutrient absorption.

Steps to Make Broiler Feed
1. Measure Ingredients: Measure each ingredient accurately based on the feed formulation for each stage (starter, grower, and finisher).
2. Mixing: Use a feed mixer or mix by hand to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
3. Storage: Store the feed in a cool, dry place to prevent spoilage and maintain its nutritional value.
4. Feeding Schedule: Follow a feeding schedule appropriate for the age and weight of your broilers.

Feeding Stages
1. Starter Feed (0-3 weeks): High in protein and energy to support rapid growth.

RAISING DAY OLD CHICKS TO GROWERS

■Day 1-day 7
- The chicks need to be in a brooder.
What is a Brooder?
- a brooder is a simple construction that is used to raise chicks until a point they are not so vulnerable.
- brooders maybe small rooms, wood construction, brooder boxes etc.
- chicks should stay in a brooder for at least 3 weeks - 4 weeks

●How to make a good brooder!
- make sure the brooder is not cold. ( provide source of heat ie. 100,watts Bulb, hot water bottles, brooder pots, etc)
- consider constructing brooders that's not too big and not too small.
-clean and disinfect the brooder before receiving chicks
- provide enough drinkers and enough feeders
- make sure the brooder is free from insects, rodents and mature chicken.
- provide dry dusting materials (saw dust or rice husks).

■Feeding chicks between day 1-day 7
- the best feed at this age is starter (crumbs or mash). - starter crumbs
- fugo starter mash
- pembe starter mash
- at this age avoid mixing of the feed with jenga, omena, pellets etc. You can mix starter crumbs and starter mash at a proportional ration.
- Avoid feeding broiler starter crumbs for chicks that are not broilers.

●Drugs .
- chick formula (egocin,veta chick start, poltricin, vitamet chick etc, dosage (one teaspoon for 5lts, ½teaspoon for 2 litres and ¼teaspoon for one litre)
- aliseryl (this is a blend of various vitamins that will help your chicks grow fast with strength and energy. Also helps chicks boost the appetite and also helps in preventing numerous diseases). Dosage same as chick formula
- liquid paraffin- this is not the normal paraffin we use at homes. This is a medicated paraffin that helps relieve constipation, helps in digestion, prevents injuries to alimentary canal and helps chicks to pass soft droppings.
- so week one give a combinations of chick formula, aliseryl and liquid paraffin

■Give Newcastle at day 7_
Day 8- day 14
■Feeds
-Same as previous week
-
●Drugs
-continue with chick formula
- use coccidios

LADIES PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!!!!

Men attend to Women for two reasons, S*X, and LOVE, but in most cases, men do not Marry for S*x or for Love, they marry for STABILITY.

Let me explain

A man can Love you and not Marry you. A man can have s*x with you for years without marrying you. But immediately he finds someone who brings stability in his life, he marries her.

What I mean by Stability is "Peace of Mind" I have seen some guys who made this statement "I love this lady but I don't think I can spend the rest of my life with her." Men are visionaries when they think about marriage, they do not think about wedding dresses, bridesmaids, anything that most Ladies thinks is fanciful.

They think whether this woman can build me a home,Can she take care of my kids and I,Can she give me PEACE of mind?. Men don't like Ladies who gives them discomfort, This is why a man can stay with a woman for years and meet another in a month, then get married to her.

It's the comfort of having Peace of Mind they want. S*x is a pleasure, love is an affection, RESPECT is Stability.

Relationship is just like a Bluetooth when you Move Far it Disconnect Another person Connect

Is it true?

This is a common question that many people ask themselves when they face difficulties in their relationships. They wonder if their partner will lose interest in them if they are not physically close, or if they will find someone else who can fulfill their needs better. They may feel insecure, anxious, or jealous about their partner's interactions with other people.

But is this analogy accurate? Is relationship really just like a Bluetooth connection that can be easily broken or replaced?

The answer is no.

Relationship is much more complex and meaningful than that. Relationship is not based on proximity or convenience, but on trust, commitment, and love. Relationship is not something that can be switched on and off, but something that requires constant communication, care, and respect. Relationship is not a competition, but a collaboration.

Relationship is not like a Bluetooth, but like a bond. A bond that can withstand distance, challenges, and changes. A bond that can grow stronger and deeper over time. A bond that can enrich your life and make you happier.

Of course, this does not mean that relationship is easy or perfect. Relationship still needs work and attention. Relationship still faces problems and conflicts. Relationship still requires compromise and sacrifice. But relationship also offers support and comfort. Relationship also brings joy and fulfillment. Relationship also creates meaning and purpose.

So, if you are struggling with your relationship, do not compare it to a Bluetooth connection. Do not assume that it will fail or fade away. Do not give up or look for alternatives. Instead, focus on strengthening your bond with your partner. Communicate your feelings and needs. Listen to their perspective and concerns. Express your appreciation and affection. Resolve your issues and disagreements. Support their goals and dreams. Share your interest

10 BEST THERAPY OF RELATIONSHIP

1. Love is a choice and you're responsible for your choices. No one is unlovable. Love and attractions are two different thing, you can be attracted to someone but it will fade sooner than later.

2. Your happiness, fulfillment and joy absolutely depends on you, in other words do not let anyone determine when you should be happy, Be emotionally independent. Do not invest your emotions on just anyone, remember it's your choice and you are responsible for your choices likewise your future.

3. People face challenges in their relationships/marriages because of too much fiction, Nollywood, Hollywood and Korean romance ( just dey play😂😂 you go explain tire, no evidence 🤣😎). Remember this people are acting on someone's script, it's not reality sis/bro, so wake up.

4. Ask yourself
Why do I want this relationship?
Why do I want to be married?

5. Love whom you marry, learn to operate in love in your relationships. Remember, lack of right communication destroys relationships, which brings me to this question

6. What do you talk about in your relationships?
Is it everyday I miss you or when are you coming to see me or have you eaten? Oya eat for me 😂

7. Communicate your visions, discuss your dreams, plan your future.

8. Do not make your relationship your God, Always fellowship with the holy Spirit ( very important)

9. Do not be pushed into a relationship by the things you see. Marriage or relationship will not solve your problems, rather you will even meet more problems( if you doubt read 1st Cor 7 vs 28 NIV)

10. No man/woman wants to marry a liability so do not make yourself one.

Remember: You are responsible for your future so take charge of it. DO NOT BE EMOTIONALLY DEPENDENT ON ANYONE, BE VERY CONSCIOUS ABOUT THAT ..God bless us all

Thanks for reading 🥰😍

DEAR LADIES,

5 THINGS MEN WANT FROM WOMEN IN A RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE

1) PEACE

One of the greatest thing you can give a Man isn't your Body, but Peace of mind.

An atmosphere where he'll find happiness, a place he can relax and think, plan and reach out to conquer his world and fulfill his purpose from, without stress, constant nagging, and problems.

If you can't give him peace, leave him to find someone who can.

2) UNDERSTANDING

He wants you to understand him

To understand his CAPACITY (financially for example) and manage with him, and not make demands way past it.

To understand his NATURE (temperament, likes, dislikes), and know how to blend/flow with him peacefully.

To understand his CALLING, and know how to support him to fulfill it, and not fight it.

An understanding Woman captures the heart and kidney of her Man.

3) ENCOURAGEMENT

He may not say it, but he looks to you for encouragement daily.

Your words mean a lot to him.

"honey, I know you're trying, I love You"

"I see thẹ sacrifice you're making for us and our future, thank you"

"baby, you can do it, you can get it done, things may not be as you want them now, but I'm with you"

Men love and cherish a Woman who encourages them to success.

4) RESPECT

Calm down first, Before you get offended, You yourself, don't you want respect? So what are we not saying.?

No Man wants to marry a second Mother, or an Elder Sister in context of authority.

TREAT him with respect as you'd he do to you.

TALK to him with Respect (publicly and privately)

Honor and Respect him as you do your Pastor.

5) AFFECTION & CARE

A Man wants to be treated like a baby by his Woman, few ever admit it..

Men also want to be pampered, and taken care of.

He wants you to take care of him..
Men are very weak in this area, that's why most Men don't joke with their mothers, the first Woman to take care of them.

Be there for him to make sure he eats, even if you're not the one currently cooking for him, still urge him
