MemberJune 14, 2024 at 12:10 pm in reply to: Weekly Discussion Topic – October 23, 2023When creating a balanced and cost-effective diet for poultry, I would consider the following key factors:
1. Nutrient requirements
2. Feed ingredients and costs
3. Energy and protein balance
4. Amino acid profile
5. Vitamins and minerals
6. Water intake
7. Age and production stage
8. Economic factors (cost and profitability)
9. Regulatory requirements
10. Sustainability and environmental impact
These factors help ensure a well-balanced diet that supports optimal health, growth, and performance while maintaining profitability and sustainability. But looking at the cost of every raw materials we need for feed ingredients in Nigeria now, to keep up with quality feed is looking impossible.

The “dirty” gills and mortality in your freshwater shrimps (Neocaridina) could be caused by:
– Bacterial infection (e.g., Aeromonas, Pseudomonas)
– Fungal infection (e.g., Fusarium, Oomycetes)
– Poor water quality (e.g., ammonia, nitrite, nitrate spikes)
To determine the exact cause, it’s essential to:
– Test the water quality
– Examine the shrimp under a microscope
Treatment options will depend on the specific diagnosis. Consult an experienced aquarist or aquatic veterinarian for guidance. Do not attempt a self treatment.

This is the answer I found on the Internet because I haven’t tried Rye in poultry feed before, but I would like to research using Rye in poultry feed for different kinds of poultry birds

MemberJune 14, 2024 at 12:12 pm in reply to: Weekly Discussion Topic – October 23, 2023In Nigeria, it is slightly looking impossible with the cost of feed ingredients on the rise. Except the farmer is on a high production level.
