BENEFITS OF RABBIT FARMING! 🐇

Are you looking for a new venture in the agricultural world? Consider rabbit farming, also known as cuniculture, which offers numerous advantages:

1️⃣ High Reproduction Rate: A female rabbit, or doe, can have up to 12 babies per litter, with the average litter size being five to eight. Plus, rabbits can have multiple litters in a year, making them highly profitable!

2️⃣ Low Capital Investment: Start your rabbit farming journey without breaking the bank! Compared to other livestock farming, rabbit farming requires relatively low capital investment, making it an attractive option for small-scale farmers.

3️⃣ Low Feed Cost: Rabbits are herbivores and can thrive on a diet of hay, grass, and vegetation, which is easily accessible in most areas. This makes feeding rabbits cost-effective and budget-friendly.

4️⃣ High Nutritional Value: Looking for a healthy alternative to other meats? Rabbit meat is a rich source of protein, low in fat, and packed with vitamins and minerals, including iron and vitamin B12.

5️⃣ High Market Demand: Rabbit meat is gaining popularity worldwide due to its nutritional value, low-fat content, and delicious taste. As a rabbit farmer, you can tap into a growing market, both locally and internationally.

6️⃣ Environmentally Friendly: Join the movement towards sustainable farming! Rabbit farming is an environmentally friendly practice, as rabbits produce less waste and require less space and resources compared to other livestock.

7️⃣ Fertilizer Bonus: Get more out of rabbit farming! Rabbit manure is an excellent organic fertilizer, rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. It's a valuable byproduct that can enhance soil quality and boost crop yields.

HOW TO MAKE CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES

🪵 Step 1: Gather and Carbonize Biomass(make or use low quality charcoal)
To do this, collect dry agricultural waste like sawdust, coconut shells, rice husks, maize cobs, or small wood pieces.

Burn them in a low-oxygen environment (inside a drum kiln or pit) to turn them into charcoal (this is called carbonization).

When fully charred, remove and let the charcoal cool completely.

🪨 Step 2: Crush the Charcoal

Break the charcoal chunks into fine powder using a hammer, mortar, or mechanical grinder.

Aim for particles smaller than 5 mm for better binding.

🧂 Step 3: Prepare Binder

Mix a natural binder like cassava starch, corn starch, or paper pulp with water to form a sticky gel.

Typical ratio: 1 part binder to 10 parts charcoal powder (by weight).

🫓 Step 4: Mix Thoroughly

Combine the charcoal powder and binder paste in a large basin.

Add small amounts of water as needed until you get a moldable dough-like consistency.

⚒️ Step 5: Mould into Briquettes

Use a briquette mold or hand press to shape the mixture into uniform briquettes (round, pillow, or cylindrical).

Compact them well so they don’t crumble when dry.

🌞 Step 6: Dry the Briquettes

Place the molded briquettes on drying racks or trays in the sun.

Dry for 3–7 days until they are completely hard and moisture-free.

🪨 Step 7: Package and Store

Store the dry briquettes in airtight bags or sacks in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

They are now ready for use or sale.

WHAT IS IMPORTANCE OF WATER IN POULTRY PRODUCTION

WATER
Water is one of the most important in six components of nutrition. And one of the most important nutrients.

"but is a big surprised and a shame to some farmers that neglected water and often overlooked it in their farm"

Get this fact know today that an animal can live without food longer than it can live without water. In a laying flock, a shortage of water for just a few hours can result in reduced eggs production, so clean water should be available at all times. If you do not use automatic waterers, fill the drinkers twice a day or as many as possible to make sure that they have access to water always. Because If the drinkers are filled only in the morning, birds can run out of water by midday. And a laying hen drinks about 25% of her daily water intake during the last two hours of daylight. So be vigilant.

"Do you know water plays an important role in the body of an animal. Water softens feed and carries it through the digestive tract. As a component of blood (90% of blood content), water carries nutrients from the digestive tract to cells and carries away waste products. Water also helps cool the bird through evaporation. (Birds do not have sweat glands, so their heat loss occurs in the air sacs and lungs through rapid respiration.)"

A baby chick is composed of about 80% water. Even though this percentage decreases as a bird gets older, the need for water remains. There is no precise quantity requirement for water because there are several factors that affect the amount of water a bird needs: age, body condition, diet, temperature, water quality, and humidity. As a rule of thumb, poultry consume twice as much water as feed... So don't jokes with WATER..

PROTECT YOUR CHICKENS FROM SNAKES CANNIBALISM !! ( BIOSECURITY)

Snakes are usually unexpected but shouldn't be a surprise when found around poultry.
It's important to keep snakes out of your chicken environment to keep the eggs, chicks, & even your chickens safe from snake attacks.

If you have snakes around your poultry, it's one sign that you have rodents in the poultry and most likely eating your chicken's feed.

Here are some of the ways you can implement to avoid these creatures in your homesteads:

1. RODENT CONTROL:
Rats love chicken feed and snakes love rats and mice. If you have too many rats running around your yard, chances of sighting a snake are high. Rodent control is therefore important. Ensure proper waste management – burn or properly dispose of any litter far away from the fowl run.

Too much garbage lying around is food for rats and junk items around the yard such as rubbles, old roofing sheets and wood piles provide a safe haven for rats and snakes. As you may be aware, rats breed so fast hence attracting the attention of these reptiles which may end up in your fowl run eating the chickens and eggs.

2. SNAKE REPELLANTS:
Planting snake repellant plants also helps to deter the creatures. These plants emit odours that irritate snakes. Some common examples include marigolds, lemongrass, wormwood, rosemary, thyme, garlic, garden rue and onions. Plant these around the chicken run and yard to provide a protective shield for the birds.

Snake pills from most veterinary shops also help excrete pungent smell that deter these reptiles. Smoke from burning tyres also irritates snakes from settling in the yard. Putting diesel around the perimeter of the yard or fowl run also ensures snakes do not cross the line. You can also put broken bottle pieces around the fowl run to deter snakes from crossing. Spraying a concoction of mahogany tree barks soaked in water around the yard also repels the serpents.

3. CUT DOWN TALL GRASS:
Ensure grass around the yard and fowl run is cut short at all times. Tall grass and thick bushes provide a safe home or hideout for snakes and even mosquitos.

4. COVER ANY FOWL RUN OPENINGS:
With the rains around, snakes are constantly looking for dry and warm places to stay. Fowl runs, homes and storerooms provide these ideal conditions. Ensure the fowl run has no openings that allow snakes to enter especially from the roof.

Cover any openings with mesh wire or plaster any holes or cracks where possible. The fowl run should be snake proof to protect the chickens at all times.

5. PRUNE TREES:
Snakes can climb trees and find ways to enter the fowl run through the roof. Ensure any nearby trees are pruned at all times.

6. COLLECT EGGS REGULARLY:
Snakes are mostly attracted to eggs more than the chickens. It’s only when chickens seem to be a predator when snakes do attack the birds.

Ensure eggs in nesting boxes are removed regularly during the day and remove the ‘temptation’ for snakes to enter the fowl runs.

7. KEEPING GUINEA FOWLS:
Those with guinea fowls (hanga) can testify these birds are very alert and make a lot of noise when they see intruders. Guinea fowls are not afraid of snakes and can fight off and kill these reptiles with ease.

However, guinea fowls can also end up bullying chickens hence you need to introduce them pretty early to ensure they can co-exist well.

8. CATS AND DOGS:
Cats are good at reducing rodent population and even fighting off snakes. Dogs too can help in spotting such intruders. Having these in the yard is a sure help when it comes to managing rodents and keeping snakes away.

CONCLUSION:
In the event you find snakes in the fowl run, it is always advisable to enlist the services of professional snake handlers than trying to manage this on your own.

Some snake species are poisonous and can harm you. Snake handlers know how to catch and rehabilitate these reptiles. Snakes have a purpose in the ecosystem, there is need to preserve them hence the need to call professionals for help.
