While setting up our permanent farm in Ikenne in 2013
It’s majorly sited for swamp fish farm, we used up the remaining land for plantain cultivation and plantains harvested took perfect care of all labor cost and other ponds construction,,,,, as we’re expanding we started cutting off the plantain gradually for the main purpose…
Fast forward… we incorporate local chickens so they could be feeding on wastes and that was generating about 350,000-500,000 for us annually with Zero care for them, we wiped them off and make a one time clearance sales raking in 450,000 with 18 being consumed personally, we had to clear them off our farm because of encroachment into our broiler pens and that’s a potential CRD vector and transmission.
We now replace them with Ducks…. We stock young chicks just about 3 months ago, out of 5, 2 already hatched 22 chicks with the remaining 3 incubating…
Integration is always helpful and could bring relief revenue but must be carefully practiced.
