9 2 CHICKEN - 9.14 - WHAT IS THE RIGHT INCUBATOR?

 

I see a lot of unproved incubator offers here on this group.

There are some important rules you must check.

Any incubator must have a thermometer and automatic regulation for exact 37 degree. This must be to control with the motor.. or the ventilator with fresh air.

The eggs must always be on moving, like the chicken do this from one side to the other. You also should stop the incubator about 30 minutes all day at high noon , that’s the time when the chicken goes to look for fodder. And open the door.

When you breed duck eggs you has to sprinkle cold water in this pause on the eggs as the duck or geese goes to swim and look for food there and come back with a wet ass.

This is the way of nature and you as mother breeder must do the same.

After 8 days you should hold the eggs before a light to see through them if they are good fertilized. You see exact as pot which give later the eye and a grid of blood strings.

When the egg is not correct you take them out and cook then 20 minutes as you can feed this later at first when they brake out. .it has 100 protein as starter.

70% of your eggs should come to life that’s a normal rate.

Chicken eggs need 21 days to brake out, and after they should stay some days in the incubator by this temperature, after you give them in colder days under a lamp and hold by 30 and reduce slowly to 25 degree. Under a lamp where they can free run you see where they stay or move as they want it.

Duck and geese eggs also turkey need 28 days to break out and the same warmth at the same days in the first week.

Never let young turkey together with older chicken run on the same place. Or stall. They will die as the chicken are transmitter for viruses which kills the turkeys ..

Also not let chicken and turkeys run in the same yard where sheep’s are running and shit around.

9 2 KUKU - 9.14 - INCUBATOR SAHIHI NI IPI?

Ninaona ofa nyingi za incubator ambazo hazijathibitishwa hapa kwenye kikundi hiki.

Kuna baadhi ya sheria muhimu lazima uangalie.

Incubator yoyote lazima iwe na kipimajoto na udhibiti wa kiotomatiki kwa digrii 37 kamili. Hii lazima iwe kudhibiti kwa motor.. au kipumulio chenye hewa safi.

Mayai lazima yawe yanasonga kila wakati, kama kuku hufanya hivi kutoka upande mmoja hadi mwingine. Unapaswa pia kusimamisha incubator kama dakika 30 siku nzima saa sita mchana, ndio wakati kuku huenda kutafuta lishe. Na kufungua mlango.

Unapofuga mayai ya bata huna budi kunyunyizia maji ya baridi kwenye pause hii kwenye mayai huku bata au bata bukini wakienda kuogelea na kutafuta chakula huko na kurudi na punda mvua.

Hii ni njia ya asili na wewe kama mama mfugaji lazima kufanya hivyo.

Baada ya siku 8 unapaswa kushikilia mayai kabla ya mwanga ili kuona ikiwa yamerutubishwa vizuri. Unaona kama chungu ambacho hutoa baadaye jicho na gridi ya nyuzi za damu.

Wakati yai sio sahihi unayatoa na kupika kisha dakika 20 kwani unaweza kulisha hii baadaye mara ya kwanza yanapovunja. .ina protein 100 as starter.

Asilimia 70 ya mayai yako yanapaswa kuwa hai hiyo ni kiwango cha kawaida.

Mayai ya kuku yanahitaji siku 21 kukatika, na baada ya kukaa kwa siku kadhaa kwenye incubator kwa joto hili, baada ya kuwapa siku za baridi chini ya taa na kushikilia kwa 30 na kupunguza polepole hadi digrii 25. Chini ya taa ambapo wanaweza kukimbia bure unaona mahali wanapokaa au kusonga wanavyotaka.

Bata na mayai ya bata bukini pia wanahitaji siku 28 ili kuzuka na joto sawa kwa siku sawa katika wiki ya kwanza.

Kamwe usiruhusu bata mzinga pamoja na kuku wakubwa kukimbia mahali pamoja. Au duka. Watakufa kwani kuku ni msambazaji wa virusi vinavyoua bata mzinga ..

Pia usiruhusu kuku na bata mzinga kukimbia katika yadi moja ambapo kondoo wanakimbia na kuchafuka.

HOT WEATHER, MAXIMUM PRODUCTION MAINTAINED.

POULTRY HEAT TIPS-

HOW TO AVOID OR REDUCE HEAT STRESS IN POULTRY HOUSE

*Make sure birds have cool, clean water.

*Add electrolytes to water, electrolytes will help to balance the electrolytes in birds. You can add vitamin A, B complex, D and E to supplement the water for broilers and C for breeding poultry.

*Feed birds during cooler parts of the day, since birds produce heat while they digest. For boilers and turkeys, remove feed 6 hours before the afternoon peak temperature. once the peak temperature has passed ,feed can be reintroduced.

*Leave birds alone during the hottest parts of the day.

*Make sure the birds have plenty of space. Reduce body heat by putting fewer birds in the house.

*Make sure birds environments are well- ventilated and comfortable. A misting/forging may be used to help birds cool down.

*Provide adequate ventilation for the number of birds housed.

*Do not exceed recommended Welfare stocking densities.

*Where possible, reduce stocking densities during hot weather both in the shed and during transport.

*Regularly maintain and test alarms and emergency ventilation equipment.

*Insulate the house structure sufficiently to avoid solar heat gain.

*Position sufficient circulation fans correctly.

*Make contingency plans in advance so all know their respective roles and ensure that someone is available with authority to take decisions.

 

SPECIFICALLY FOR LAYERS IN HOT CLIMATES

Heat can have a significant impact on layer flocks, but there are measures that can be taken to keep hens healthy and producing eggs. When summer temperatures rise, egg producers need to be ready or they will see egg output decline, and flock mortalities increase.

The comfortable ambient temperature for poultry is between 18 and 24C. Above this, birds fail to maintain their normal internal body temperature (41.6C), due to the absence of sweat glands and complete feather coverage of the body. When the ambient temperature rises above the ideal, a chicken’s internal body temperature also rises, leading to a drop in feed consumption (>26-32C), heat stress (>35C), panting, prostration (>35C) and death (>38C).

Failing to manage heat stress results in poor layer production performance, and it should be remembered that older birds and heavier birds are more sensitive to heat stress than younger and lighter birds. Heat stress can be managed by altering the macro- and micro-environments where birds are housed.

Four specific areas can be easily managed to ensure that laying hens are kept as comfortable as possible during hotter months and that egg production is not reduced. These are:

* Housing management

*Water management

*Feed fortification

*General management

HALI YA HEWA YA JOTO, UZALISHAJI WA JUU UMEDUMIWA.

Vidokezo vya JOTO LA KUKU-

JINSI YA KUEPUKA AU KUPUNGUZA MSONGO WA JOTO KWENYE NYUMBA YA KUKU

*Hakikisha ndege wana maji baridi na safi.

*Ongeza elektroliti kwenye maji, elektroliti zitasaidia kusawazisha elektroliti katika ndege. Unaweza kuongeza vitamini A, B complex, D na E ili kuongeza maji kwa kuku wa nyama na C kwa ajili ya ufugaji wa kuku.

*Lisha ndege wakati wa sehemu zenye baridi zaidi za mchana, kwa kuwa ndege hutoa joto wakati wanayeyusha. Kwa boilers na batamzinga, ondoa malisho saa 6 kabla ya joto la kilele cha mchana. mara tu joto la juu limepita, malisho yanaweza kuletwa tena.

*Waachie ndege wakati wa jua kali zaidi.

*Hakikisha ndege wana nafasi nyingi. Punguza joto la mwili kwa kuweka ndege wachache ndani ya nyumba.

*Hakikisha mazingira ya ndege yana hewa ya kutosha na ya kustarehesha. Ukungu/kughushi kunaweza kutumika kusaidia ndege kupoa.

*Toa hewa ya kutosha kwa idadi ya ndege wanaowekwa.

*Usizidi msongamano wa hifadhi uliopendekezwa wa Welfare.

*Inapowezekana, punguza msongamano wa hifadhi wakati wa hali ya hewa ya joto katika banda na wakati wa usafiri.

*Dumisha na kujaribu kengele na vifaa vya uingizaji hewa wa dharura mara kwa mara.

*Imarisha muundo wa nyumba vya kutosha ili kuzuia kuongezeka kwa joto la jua.

*Weka feni za kutosha za mzunguko kwa usahihi.

*Fanya mipango ya dharura mapema ili wote wajue majukumu yao husika na uhakikishe kuwa kuna mtu aliye na mamlaka ya kufanya maamuzi.

 

HASA KWA TAFU KATIKA HALI YA HEWA MOTO

Joto linaweza kuwa na athari kubwa kwa makundi ya tabaka, lakini kuna hatua zinazoweza kuchukuliwa ili kuwaweka kuku wenye afya na wanaozalisha mayai. Wakati joto la kiangazi linapopanda, watayarishaji wa mayai wanahitaji kuwa tayari au wataona pato la yai likipungua, na vifo vya kundi huongezeka.

Joto la kawaida la mazingira kwa kuku ni kati ya 18 na 24C. Zaidi ya hayo, ndege hushindwa kudumisha joto lao la kawaida la ndani (41.6C), kutokana na kutokuwepo kwa tezi za jasho na kufunika kamili kwa manyoya ya mwili. Joto la mazingira linapopanda juu ya hali bora, joto la ndani la kuku pia huongezeka, na hivyo kusababisha kupungua kwa matumizi ya chakula (>26-32C), shinikizo la joto (>35C), kuhema, kusujudu (>35C) na kifo (>38C. )

Kushindwa kudhibiti mkazo wa joto husababisha utendakazi duni wa uzalishaji wa tabaka, na ikumbukwe kwamba ndege wakubwa na ndege wazito huathirika zaidi na shinikizo la joto kuliko ndege wachanga na wepesi. Mkazo wa joto unaweza kudhibitiwa kwa kubadilisha mazingira ya jumla na madogo ambapo ndege huwekwa.

Maeneo manne mahususi yanaweza kusimamiwa kwa urahisi ili kuhakikisha kuwa kuku wanaotaga wanatunzwa vizuri iwezekanavyo wakati wa miezi ya joto kali na kwamba uzalishaji wa yai haupunguzwi. Hizi ni:

* Usimamizi wa makazi

* Usimamizi wa maji

*Urutubishaji wa malisho

* Usimamizi wa jumla

ADJUSTING THE POULTRY HOUSE ENVIRONMENT

Measures can be taken in hotter climates to minimize the impact of heat on layers:

* The long axis of the poultry house should be in an East-West direction, and the roof overhang should extend to at least 1.5 meters to reduce the amount of direct sun and rain entering the house. Paste or paint the shed roof with a reflective covering. General best practice is to whitewash the roof with lime. This can reduce the house temperature by up to 2C.

*Cover the layer house roof with insulating materials such as paddy straw, sugar cane leaves, coconut leaves or hay.

*Provide ridge vents at roof level to allow hot air to exit, so that cool air may enter the poultry shed through side openings.

*Outside of the house, attach sprinklers onto the roof. Turning them on during hot weather will bring down the temperature inside the house.

*Use of side curtains – gunny bags can be used to protect birds from direct hot wind currents. Those bags facing any oncoming winds can be kept wet so that birds feel a cool breeze. Adopting this practice can reduce the temperature up to 2-3C.

*Inside the poultry shed, attach forgers at bird level to reduce the temperature. Fog should be kept to a fine mist only, to prevent the birds, litter and feed from becoming wet. *Planting tall trees around the farm can help to reduce radiant heat.

 

WATER MANAGEMENT

*During hot weather, chickens pant to bring down their body temperature, and this leads to a higher-than-normal loss of water, so plenty of drinking water must be available, but it must be managed carefully. Provide three to four times the normal daily amount.

*Do not completely fill the overhead water tank during the hotter summer months, and conduct flush-outs during the day to slow down any heating of standing water. If possible, cover the tank with wet gunny bags and paint it with a reflective covering.

*Increase the frequency of watering. Birds must always have access to cool water.

*Giving birds salt will stimulate their water consumption. Supplement drinking water with 0.2 percent salt and commercially available electrolytes (1-2 gm/liter) to maintain birds’ electrolyte balance.

*Vitamin C and citric acid can be added to drinking water, as the latter is a good carrier for vitamins during the summer. Supplementing vitamin C through water has been found to more beneficial than adding it to feed.

KUREKEBISHA MAZINGIRA YA NYUMBA YA KUKU

Hatua zinaweza kuchukuliwa katika hali ya hewa ya joto ili kupunguza athari za joto kwenye tabaka:

* Mhimili mrefu wa nyumba ya kuku unapaswa kuwa katika mwelekeo wa Mashariki-Magharibi, na juu ya paa inapaswa kupanua angalau mita 1.5 ili kupunguza kiasi cha jua moja kwa moja na mvua inayoingia ndani ya nyumba. Bandika au upake rangi paa la kumwaga na kifuniko cha kutafakari. Mbinu bora ya jumla ni kupaka paa chokaa na chokaa. Hii inaweza kupunguza joto la nyumba hadi 2C.

*Funika paa la nyumba kwa kutumia vifaa vya kuhami joto kama vile majani ya mpunga, majani ya miwa, majani ya minazi au nyasi.

*Toa matundu ya matuta kwenye usawa wa paa ili kuruhusu hewa ya moto kutoka, ili hewa baridi iingie kwenye banda la kuku kupitia matundu ya pembeni.

*Nje ya nyumba, ambatisha vinyunyizio kwenye paa. Kuwasha wakati wa joto kutapunguza joto ndani ya nyumba.

*Matumizi ya mapazia ya pembeni - mifuko ya bunduki inaweza kutumika kulinda ndege dhidi ya mikondo ya moja kwa moja ya upepo wa moto. Mifuko hiyo inayokabili upepo wowote unaokuja inaweza kuwekwa mvua ili ndege wahisi upepo wa baridi. Kupitisha mazoezi haya kunaweza kupunguza joto hadi 2-3C.

*Ndani ya banda la kuku, ambatisha ghushi kwenye kiwango cha ndege ili kupunguza joto. Ukungu unapaswa kuhifadhiwa kwa ukungu mzuri tu, ili kuzuia ndege, takataka na malisho kuwa mvua. *Kupanda miti mirefu kuzunguka shamba kunaweza kusaidia kupunguza joto linalowaka.

 

USIMAMIZI WA MAJI

*Wakati wa hali ya hewa ya joto, kuku hupumua ili kupunguza joto la mwili wao, na hii husababisha upotevu wa juu kuliko kawaida wa maji, kwa hivyo maji mengi ya kunywa lazima yapatikane, lakini lazima yadhibitiwe kwa uangalifu. Toa mara tatu hadi nne ya kiwango cha kawaida cha kila siku.

*Usijaze kabisa tanki la maji la juu wakati wa miezi ya kiangazi yenye joto jingi, na uondoe maji wakati wa mchana ili kupunguza upashaji joto wa maji yaliyosimama. Ikiwezekana, funika tanki na mifuko ya bunduki ya mvua na uipake kwa kifuniko cha kutafakari.

*Kuongeza mzunguko wa kumwagilia. Ndege lazima daima wapate maji baridi.

*Kuwapa ndege chumvi kutachochea matumizi yao ya maji. Ongeza maji ya kunywa kwa asilimia 0.2 ya chumvi na elektroliti zinazouzwa kibiashara (1-2 gm/lita) ili kudumisha usawa wa elektroliti za ndege.

*Vitamini C na asidi citric inaweza kuongezwa kwa maji ya kunywa, kama mwisho ni carrier mzuri wa vitamini wakati wa majira ya joto. Kuongeza vitamini C kupitia maji kumeonekana kuwa na faida zaidi kuliko kuiongeza kwenye chakula.

FEED SUPPLEMENTATION

*As layer hens’ feed intake tends to reduce during hotter months, they should be fed with supplemented diets, so that egg production is not reduced.

*Layers prefer high energy (in terms of fat calories) and low protein (2- 3 percent less than normal) diets with balanced amino acids (in terms of lysine and methionine). Supplementing feed with respect to energy should be done in the form of fat calories only, and the following are worth keeping in mind:

*Replace 10-15 percent of feed energy normally supplied by carbohydrates and proteins with 1-2 percent vegetable oil/fats

*Substitute 20-25 percent of de-oiled rice bran with oiled rice bran. This will not only ensure that the feed is rich in fat calories, but it will also prevent feed becoming dusty so making it more palatable. Use only fresh oiled rice bran, and keep only 1 week to 10 days’ supply to avoid oxidation of stocks.

*Supplement the layer feed with amino acids in line with feed intake. Replace DL-methionine with methionine hydroxyl analogue and betaine.

Increase the calcium content of the diet from 4 percent to 5 percent.

*Replace 40-50 percent of any salt in the diet with sodium bicarbonate to help maintain egg shell quality.

*Vitamin and mineral premixes should be increased by 25 percent, with particular attention paid to vitamins C, A and E.

*Supplementation with additives such as symbiotic, Phyto biotics, acidifiers and dextrose can also help in alleviating the heat stress.

*Feed birds as specific times. One-third of the feed should be given in the early hours of the day, 4-5 a.m., and the remainder later in the day, noon-1 p.m. It is beneficial to dim the lights while feeding, in order to reduce physical activity and hence heat load on the birds. Feed should be stirred in the feeders. During hotter months, birds wet feed with saliva, which can lead to caking in the feeder, the growth of mould, and production losses.

*A good mycotoxin binder should be added to the poultry feed.

 

GENERAL MANAGEMENT

A minimum-maximum thermometer should be hung inside the poultry shed to check temperature variations during the day. The application of any medicines or vaccines, debeaking, and any movement of the birds should be carried out during the cooler part of the day. When medicines are administered, there should be plenty of cool, fresh water available as well as quality feed. Anti-coccidia drugs, however, should be used with caution and selectively during hotter weather as some can aggravate heat stress.

NYONGEZA YA MALISHO

*Kwa vile ulaji wa chakula cha kuku wa tabaka huelekea kupungua wakati wa miezi ya joto kali, wanapaswa kulishwa na vyakula vya ziada, ili uzalishaji wa yai usipungue.

*Tabaka hupendelea nishati nyingi (kwa upande wa kalori za mafuta) na protini ya chini (asilimia 2- 3 chini ya kawaida) mlo na asidi ya amino iliyosawazishwa (kwa suala la lysine na methionine). Kuongeza chakula kwa heshima na nishati kunapaswa kufanywa kwa njia ya kalori ya mafuta tu, na yafuatayo yanafaa kukumbuka:

*Badilisha asilimia 10-15 ya nishati ya chakula inayotolewa kwa kawaida na wanga na protini kwa asilimia 1-2 ya mafuta/mafuta ya mboga.

*Badala ya asilimia 20-25 ya pumba za mchele zilizokatwa mafuta na pumba za mchele zilizotiwa mafuta. Hii haitahakikisha tu kwamba malisho yana kalori nyingi za mafuta, lakini pia itazuia malisho kuwa na vumbi hivyo kuifanya iwe ya kupendeza zaidi. Tumia pumba mpya za mchele zilizotiwa mafuta pekee, na uhifadhi chakula kutoka kwa wiki 1 hadi siku 10 ili kuepuka uoksidishaji wa hifadhi.

*Ongeza malisho ya safu na asidi ya amino kulingana na ulaji wa malisho. Badilisha DL-methionine na analog ya methionine hidroksili na betaine.

Kuongeza maudhui ya kalsiamu ya chakula kutoka asilimia 4 hadi asilimia 5.

*Badilisha asilimia 40-50 ya chumvi yoyote kwenye lishe na sodium bicarbonate ili kusaidia kudumisha ubora wa ganda la yai.

*Michanganyiko ya vitamini na madini inapaswa kuongezwa kwa asilimia 25, kwa kuzingatia hasa vitamini C, A na E.

*Kuongeza viungio kama vile symbiotic, Phyto biotics, acidifiers na dextrose pia kunaweza kusaidia katika kupunguza shinikizo la joto.

*Lisha ndege kama nyakati maalum. Theluthi moja ya malisho inapaswa kutolewa mapema asubuhi, saa 4-5 asubuhi, na iliyobaki baadaye mchana, saa sita mchana-1 p.m. Ni manufaa kupunguza taa wakati wa kulisha, ili kupunguza shughuli za kimwili na hivyo mzigo wa joto kwenye ndege. Chakula kinapaswa kuchochewa kwenye malisho. Katika miezi ya joto kali, ndege hulisha kwa mate, ambayo inaweza kusababisha kuoka kwenye malisho, ukuaji wa ukungu na upotezaji wa uzalishaji.

*Kifungashio kizuri cha mycotoxin kiongezwe kwenye chakula cha kuku.

USIMAMIZI MKUU

Kipimajoto cha kiwango cha chini zaidi kinapaswa kuanikwa ndani ya banda la kuku ili kuangalia mabadiliko ya joto wakati wa mchana. Utumiaji wa dawa au chanjo yoyote, kunyoosha, na harakati zozote za ndege zinapaswa kufanywa wakati wa baridi zaidi wa siku. Wakati dawa zinatumiwa, lazima kuwe na maji mengi ya baridi, safi yanayopatikana pamoja na malisho bora. Dawa za kuzuia coccidia, hata hivyo, zinapaswa kutumiwa kwa tahadhari na kwa kuchagua wakati wa hali ya hewa ya joto zaidi kwani zingine zinaweza kuongeza mkazo wa joto.

ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY

9 4 SHEEP’S – 9.25 - REARING AND CALCULATION

COMMERCIAL SHEEP PRODUCTION EXPLAINED

Sheep farming agribusiness can be a lucrative business if well planned and professionally executed.

Dorper, Merino and Hampshire remain the best commercial breeds for farming in Kenya

A well-reared improved sheep matures between 6 and 8 months and reaches an average weight of 50-70 kg for females and 50-over 100 kg for males.

The farm gate price for sheep in Kenya currently averages between Ksh 150 and 200 per kilo live weight.

This puts a 50kg local sheep between Ksh. 7,500-Ksh. 10,000 and a 70kg improved sheep (mutton) at Ksh. 10,500-Ksh. 14,000 (improved varieties can reach a live weight of over 100 kg). Which is of course due to the feed and the additional feeding with grain.

The cost of professional sheep farming in Kenya averages 5000-Ksh. 6000 without rangeland (This cost reduces with the availability of rangeland/pasture and the ability to produce most of the forage yourself).

Professionally bred sheep can reach a weight of over 70 kg.

If a farmer is able to produce sheep of at least 70kg live weight, such farmer is able to make a profit of at least Ksh. 4,500 per sheep without making rangeland (this is very possible with Dorper and Merino sheep)

With 100 sheep, such a farmer can make a profit of over Ksh. 450,000 every 6 months. do.

Agribusiness Tips

1. Invest in the best breeds from reputable breeders.

2. Feed your sheep feed at 10% of their live weight plus 150-200 grams of concentrate per day.

3. Concentrates for sheep should have the following ratios: 40% corn bran, 30% peanut cake/almond cake, 10% wheat bran, 13% defiled rice bran/broken gram, 5% molasses, 2% mineral blend, 1% salt vitamins and antibiotics.

Remember, you can earn even bigger wins with Dorper Sheep.

9 4 KONDOO - 9.25 - UFUGAJI NA HESABU

 

UZALISHAJI WA KONDOO WA BIASHARA WAELEZWA

Biashara ya ufugaji wa kondoo inaweza kuwa biashara yenye faida kubwa ikiwa itapangwa vyema na kutekelezwa kitaalamu.

Dorper, Merino na Hampshire zimesalia kuwa mifugo bora zaidi ya kibiashara kwa kilimo nchini Kenya

Kondoo aliyeboreshwa aliyefugwa vizuri hukomaa kati ya miezi 6 na 8 na kufikia wastani wa uzito wa kilo 50-70 kwa majike na 50-zaidi ya kilo 100 kwa madume.

 

Bei ya lango la shamba la kondoo nchini Kenya kwa sasa ni wastani kati ya Ksh 150 na 200 kwa kilo moja ya uzani wa kuishi.

Hii inaweka kondoo wa kienyeji wa kilo 50 kati ya Ksh. 7,500-Ksh. 10,000 na kondoo aliyeboreshwa wa kilo 70 kwa Ksh. 10,500-Ksh. 14,000 (aina zilizoboreshwa zinaweza kufikia uzito wa kuishi zaidi ya kilo 100). Ambayo bila shaka ni kutokana na malisho na kulisha ziada na nafaka.

Gharama ya ufugaji wa kondoo kitaalamu nchini Kenya ni wastani wa 5000-Ksh. 6000 bila nyanda za malisho (Gharama hii inapungua kutokana na uwepo wa nyanda za malisho/malisho na uwezo wa kuzalisha malisho mengi wewe mwenyewe).

Kondoo waliofugwa kitaalamu wanaweza kufikia uzito wa zaidi ya kilo 70.

 

Ikiwa mkulima anaweza kuzalisha kondoo wa angalau kilo 70 uzito hai, mkulima kama huyo anaweza kupata faida ya angalau Ksh. 4,500 kwa kila kondoo bila kutengeneza nyanda za malisho (hii inawezekana sana kwa kondoo wa Dorper na Merino)

Akiwa na kondoo 100, mkulima kama huyo anaweza kupata faida ya zaidi ya Ksh. 450,000 kila baada ya miezi 6. fanya.

Vidokezo vya Biashara ya Kilimo
