‎FUNCTIONS OF THE COMB IN BIRDS
‎
‎1. Indicator of Health
‎The comb reflects the bird’s health condition:
‎Bright red: healthy and active
‎
‎Pale: sickness or stress
‎
‎Shrunken/dull: dehydration or illness
‎
‎2. Hormonal Indicator
‎Comb size and brightness correlate with reproductive hormone levels, especially testosterone in males.
‎
‎3. Attraction During Mating
‎Well-developed combs serve as signs of fertility and make birds more attractive to mates.
‎
‎4. Social and Territorial Signaling
‎The comb aids in establishing dominance, especially among roosters.
‎
‎5. Temperature Regulation
‎By allowing heat to escape through its blood supply, the comb helps maintain body temperature.
‎
‎6. Species and Breed Identification
‎Variations in comb shape (single, rose, pea, etc.) assist in identifying bird species and breeds.

DISEASE OUTBREAK
‎ Recent field assessments by IBERUN FARMS show that many cassava plants are currently affected by Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB), a disease often mistaken for crop maturity, soil infertility, soil acidity, or even spiritual causes. Reported symptoms include leaf drying, wilting, premature leaf drop, and drying of stem tips.
‎Findings align with historical records of CBB, one of the oldest and most destructive cassava diseases, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis.
‎CBB originated in South America over 100 years ago and later spread to Africa through infected cassava cuttings.
‎
‎Historical Background
‎1910s–1920s (First Discovery): Identified in South America, with early reports of leaf wilting, water-soaked spots, and die-back during rainy seasons. Scientists later confirmed its bacterial cause.
‎
‎1930s–1950s (Spread to Africa): Introduced through infected cuttings into countries such as Nigeria, Congo, Ghana, and Uganda.
‎
‎1960s–1980s (Major Outbreaks): CBB became widespread in Africa, causing yellowing, wilting, stem cankers, defoliation, reduced tuber size, and 20–70% yield losses. Research institutions like IITA responded with surveys, breeding programs, and farmer training.
‎
‎1980s–2000s (Resistant Varieties Released): Development of varieties such as TMS 30572 and improved NRCRI lines helped reduce outbreaks.
‎
‎Current Situation (2000s–2024)
‎ CBB remains present but less severe in areas where farmers plant clean cuttings, use resistant varieties, and maintain good field hygiene.
‎
‎2025 Farming Season
‎ After six months of cultivation, CBB has significantly affected crop growth. Many farmers did not identify early symptoms, allowing the disease to spread.
‎The increased prevalence is linked to:
‎High rainfall , rain drop and humidity (climate change)
‎Movement of infected stems
‎Contaminated farm tools
‎Chewing insects such as grasshoppers

‎Economic Implications
‎ The continued spread of CBB may lead to increased prices of garri, fufu, cassava stems, animal feed, and other cassava products in 2026.
‎
‎Recommendations to Farmers
‎Contact IBERUN FARMS for professional support.

IBERUN FARMS — BUILDING NIGERIA’S FUTURE THROUGH AGRICULTURE 🇳🇬

Nigeria is a nation richly endowed with natural resources, yet for decades our economy has relied heavily on oil. Today, it is clear that the country’s greatest untapped potential lies in agriculture — a sector capable of generating employment, strengthening food security, and supporting sustainable economic growth.

At Iberun Farms, we believe that agriculture is Nigeria’s true “oil ocean.” With over 84 million hectares of arable land and a vibrant youth population, Nigeria has the capacity not only to feed itself but also to become a major supplier of food to the world.

Achieving this vision requires deliberate and strategic reinvestment in the sector:

✅ Providing farmers with modern tools, access to funding, and continuous training
✅ Upgrading critical infrastructure such as rural roads, storage facilities, and irrigation systems
✅ Embracing modern technologies — from mechanised farming to hydroponic systems
✅ Strengthening agricultural value chains to ensure better earnings for farmers
✅ Expanding renewable energy solutions to support farming communities
✅ Encouraging private-sector participation and investment in agribusiness

Agriculture is more than an economic sector — it is a foundation for jobs, stability, and national prosperity.

At Iberun Farms, we remain dedicated to advancing this transformation through smart agriculture, innovation, and sustainable crop and livestock production.

🌱 Together, we can build a food-secure and economically resilient Nigeria.

AGRICULTURE: A LIFE SAVER

Agriculture was the mainstay of mankind and the backbone of the Nigerian economy before the advent of crude oil.

‎Then, the country’s economy thrived; food was available and affordable. Thus, the People did not go hungry, except in cases of untold factors which often affect farming.

‎After the 1960 independence, Agricultural Sector accounted for over ½ of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and was the most supplier of export earnings and public revenue with the agricultural selling boards taking part as number-one role.

‎With the oil boom era, the country and its people shifted attention from agriculture to oil and gas. Subsequently, graduates of Agricultural Science, Soil Science, Crop Science, Animal Science, Agricultural Extension, Agricultural Economics, and Veterinary Doctors among others looked for white-collar jobs in banks and other seemingly lucrative areas, including oil and gas. Little did people know that those who remained in agriculture would today be raking in millions and billions of naira, as their products now grace both local and international markets.

‎Agriculture was and still is the fastest way of reducing unemployment and source of livelihood for the increasing population.

‎In matters regarding agriculture, IBERUN FARMS is one of the farms currently operating in the country on a commercial purpose.

Located within the heart of Uyo city, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, we are into Crops and livestock farming.
