Stressed broiler bird Simple Practical ways to manage heat stress in birds during hot weather seasons.          So far so goo d, even though some parts of the country has started seeing some bits and pieces of rain, 2018 has been a very hot and dry weathered year as the heat has really taken its toll on most farmers' flock.        Whether you are rearing broilers or layers , no thanks to global warming over the past few years there is every possibility that you would be affected by this uninviting heat that we have all been experiencing of recent.            Those who have young chicks would most likely experience some form of watery droppings around the vent of their chicks that dries up to form what we call pasty vent.

      Hydroponic systems, our focus is in the sensitization of livestock farmers on how to increase farm yields and help even smallholder farmer to maximize on returns. Our aim is especially putting a focus on the wheat and Guinea Corn seed to produce fodder. Hydroponic farming is the art of growing plants without the use of soil .This technology is as old as history and was used in famous hanging gardens of Babylon. For commercial purposes to feed livestock, it started in 1960s in Australia and has spread to the rest of the world ever since. Hydroponics technology can be adopted using locally available materials to control temperature thereby making hydroponic farming a reality. A farmer can construct a 3m by 4m house unit which can support to feed two dairy cows or (10 pigs, goats, sheep) and over 400 birds. The amount of fodder from this unit is equivalent to two acres of Napier grass. Hydroponic fodder for livestock is the main meal but not supplement. Actuall
