👉🏼 *Guinea Fowl Farming*

❤How To Get Started And All You Need To Know…..

🎤Speaker/Facilitator

🗣Mr Ibrahim Odenike

Good day everyone! How was your day?

It ‘s an honour to be here tonight.

Therefore, I’ll be glad to say here that an “entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and actualizer. He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen.” — Robert L. Schwartz

I’ll be glad if I can see more hands…☝☝☝☝☝☝☝

*Guinea Fowl: What you need to know before you start*.

INTRODUCTION

My first experience with guinea fowl rearing was in the North, specifically Adamawa state.

I love eating guinea fowl eggs. So I always ask my Hausa/Yungur students to get the eggs for me.

They always complained that they would need to travel and climb hills before getting the eggs. In the long run, they’ll return with large number of eggs. This actually prompted my journey into this. Thanks to Mr Asuni for bringing the topic

Let’s look at the topic as follows:
1. Wetin Guinea Fowl be?
2. The Genesis…
3. On the field…
4. The Daunting Risk.
5. The Prosperous Feat.

*Wetin Guinea Fowl be?*

From that brief introduction, it shows that Guinea fowl is a wild bird. They are good fliers and runners.

Guinea fowl is known as ‘Awo’ among Yoruba people, ‘Zabo’ among Hausa and Igbo people called it……

Who can tell me what Igbo calls Guinea fowl?

Those☝are pictures of Guinea fowls. Igbo people called it ‘Ogazi’

Sincerely Guinea fowl farming is fun and profitable if everything can be managed perfectly.

It is a fact that guinea fowl serves as *pest control* because it eats many insects, chase away small snakes and have capacity to kill rodents.

The meat is very rich in essential amino acid while the eggs very rich too.

As I said earlier, they are naturally a wild birds so they love to flock together. This strengthen them against their predators. It’s not odd that these birds can live up to 10 to 15 years in the wild.

…but for domesticated purpose, as business man level…🤣🤣🤣
Dey no born am well make e reach that age, na market and women pots go settle the rest….🤣🤣🤣

…money must return. That’s why we are here tonight

So, the high demands for their meats and eggs encourage their domestication.

Do you know you can rear Guinea Fowl at your backyard?🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

*The Genesis…*

Yes, you can start rearing it from your backyard. Meanwhile, before you start these steps will make it easier. So let’s move…

1. Your environment. The first step you need to do is to study your environment and behaviour of your neighbours. This is because Guinea fowls are loud birds. They’re real noise makers.

They can start noise at the sight of strange objects including shadows.

If your environment and neighborhood condone it, congratulations! You’re good to go…
Otherwise, you have to relocate to areas like Epe and Badagry…..🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂
2. Spacious and Covered Pen. This is because they are flying birds, the pen must be spacious and covered. I mean covered roof. They love to move freely without hindrance. This also facilitate their good production. So spacious and covered pen is for economic purpose

The pen should be covered with wood shaving

Get a clean serving tray and water troughs

*On the Field*…
We’re on the field now…
Please, do not start with large number.
You can get the keets (the young guinea fowls) .from local sellers or order from online. We’ll talk about this later to safe time…
Feed them very well so that they thrive very well
These are favourite meal to them: wheat, sorghum, millet grain. Though they can later become independent in choice of food as they can eat insects

Provide them with clean water.
They are not prone to diseases so doctors visit and cost is not an headache

Get males and females, 1 male to 4 female

They start laying in March order April until October. So if well fed, they can lay up to 100 eggs in a farming year.

Make sure you provide a box or prepared corner with more wood shaving where they can lay their eggs

They lay their eggs together in a place as many as possible, brood together taking turn in sitting on the eggs

Please, always provide light with some grains for them at night and do not give them medicated foods, it can leads to mass mortality

The reason they are good for backyard is that they can be reared with other fowls like ‘Adiye’ lol but do not include rooster ‘akuko adiye’
It’s suicide for it
They won’t allow male rival from other birds….

You can allow only one to stay outside the pen, it will never go away.

If you can do this, the risk is shelved. Otherwise all invested capital will fly away. God forbid!

The main, the main
*The Prosperous Feat*
My friends, ogas, brother and sisters, rear your guinea fowls only for meat and eggs products

Rear Guinea fowl only for its meat and eggs. This is where the money is.

Believe me after a farming year, you’ll make your easy and quite money. The Market is great especially during festivals.

Most hotels in Nigeria are now demanding for it because visitors especially from neighbouring African countries

Local fowls sellers are greatly demanding for its meats

For the eggs, get our ‘Igbo kwenu’ brothers they will clear all the eggs

Even the babalawos and oniseguns are demanding for this bird
A well fed Guinea fowl can not be sold less than 5k no matter what

Please, I’ll be glad if we can continue tomorrow

We can ask questions on Guinea fowl or we take questions on the topic generally together tomorrow, by God’s grace

To sleep with prayer, right intention and positive attitude is channel to another great morning. No man prays never to wake the day. Good night everyone!

Good day ladies and gentlemen!

👉🏼THEME:

❤ *_CHARCOAL BUSINESS IN NIGERIA_*

💚 *_PRODUCTION, MARKETING AND SALES_*

🎤SPEAKER/FACILITATOR

🗣COACH OLUWASEYIFUNMI BAMGBOYE

Good Evening everyone, all protocol observed
I will be discussing the production and marketing of Charcoal.
Firstly, why do people buy Charcoal and to what purpose does Charcoal serves.
This leads us to its domestic and industrial use

Its uses domestically are numerous but majorly for cooking.
Charcoal is one of the most disregarded products at home. We only see the need for it when it is time to set fire for Banku.
However, if you really need first aid, charcoal is something you need to have on you all the time, you might not know this but it is one of the most medicinal products you can have at home due to its poison extraction ability.
In case you never gave it much attention, this is the time to do so. Here are 13 benefits of charcoal you never thought about.

1. Preventing Odour.
Does your shoe smell bad? just get some charcoal and put it in them. Do you have any bad smell in your room? Drop some charcoal where you suspect the smell could be coming from. Does your fridge or freezer smell? Put a piece of charcoal in it. Do you have strong body odour? Just make a powder out of charcoal and use, thank us later.
Charcoal is very good at getting rid of bad smell. Ever wondered why your parents always scooped out the ash from the coal pot to pour in the hen coop or toilet before sweeping? That was to get rid of the odour.

2. Keeping Food Fresh.
If you want your vegetables to be fresh all the time, just make a solution out of charcoal and leave your vegetables in them. Thank us later.

3. Removing Toxins From Food.
These days, people complain about the use of fertilizers on plants and vegetables, making them unwholesome and poisonous. If you have charcoal, you don’t need to worry about this, all you need to do is leave the vegetables in a charcoal solution overnight and it’ll take care of the toxins. If you suspect any food contains too many chemicals, just drop them in a charcoal solution for some hours and you’re good to go.

4. For Teeth Whitening.
If you want to whiten your teeth, pay no attention to all these adverts on whitening chemicals and technology, just get yourself some charcoal and grab hold of a plantain stalk, make a powder out of the charcoal, mash the tip of the plantain stalk, dip it into the charcoal powder and brush your teeth with it for a week, thank us later.

5. Restoring Soup That Went Bad.
Did your groundnut soup or palm nut soup go bad? No need to worry about pouring it all away. Just put it back on fire and drop a piece of charcoal in it. This will extract all the bad taste and smell and restore the soup to its fresh state.

6. Detoxifying.
Do you have a hangover out of a drink out with friends the previous night, just have some charcoal with you and chew on it. To make it more effective, make a nice solution out of it and drink, you’re good to go.

7. Neutralizing Alcohol.
If you mistakenly did some wild mixing and feel it can knock you out, just add some charcoal to the mixture and your problem is solved. Or if you took in too much alcohol, just drink some charcoal solution and you’re good to go.

8. Healing Wounds.
Do you have a situation where someone’s wound has become so infected to the state doctors are saying they have to cut the affected area? Don’t stress over it, get a large amount of charcoal powder and pour it on the wound. This will extract all the poison from the wound and also help it heal faster. If you have a cut and you want to treat it fast, just get some powdered charcoal and pour on it.

9. Water Filtration.
Do you feel your water is contaminated? You don’t need all these products on the market, charcoal can do better, just drop some amount of it in it. Don’t worry about the colour, it is safe, you can even chew on charcoal. It is far safer than eating chicken from KFC.

10. Skin Cleansing.
Do you have pimples, acne or any skin disease you really want to get rid of or do you want a very smooth face or skin? All you need is charcoal. Make a thick solution out of it and smear it on your body and leave it on for some hours before taking your bath. It will leave your skin smooth and fresh.

11. Stain Removal.
Do you have some stubborn stain in your kitchen, washroom or on your tiles? You actually need charcoal to get rid of it. I know you’re imagining how this black stainy product can actually remove stains right? Just try it, it works like magic.

12. Getting Rid Of A Bloated Stomach.
If you ate or drank something and feel bloated, charcoal is the best solution to get rid of the bloating.

13. Gets Rid Of Bad Cholesterol In You.
Making a solution out of it and drinking helps eliminate all the bad cholesterol you have stored in you.

14. Ulcer Treatment.
Charcoal can treat all the ulcers out there you can think of including stomach ulcer. Just make it a habit to always chew on some.

There are various ndustrial use too but the major ones; bakery industry, melting industry for materials such as iron, metals, rubber etc, among few others.

PRODUCTION:… We produce quality charcoal from hardwoods, like thick, Orin dudu, apepe, dongo yaro and the like, sorry I could not get English name for those one.
Mature trees can only be found in thick bush and are fell down with saw machine.
They will be cut into sizes which people could carry. Next is blanching I.e cutting the leaves after about a week of cutting. After is the loading or arranging the branched trees together. The next step is covering with leaves and sand for it must burn without air else it will turn to ashes
After about two weeks it will finish burning and will be ready for removal. When removed, you will put inside sacks and ready for sale.

You must take government license called permit before cutting the trees.
You must also belong to produce and sell before you will be allowed to cut.

Once the charcoal is bagged, you can either sell at the farm to marketers or sell your self to end user,
If you are selling at the you collect your money right on the spot, and presently it is sold between #1,000 and #1,200 multiply that by 100 bags
If you want to sell to the end user, transportion is a major challenge from farm to final destination, because of its nature, cabstar, containner or pick up car maybe appropriate the least you will pay per bag is 300 depending on the distance.
Also there are external factor such, police, Forrester on the road
The least price which you will sell is 1,600 depending on the area also multiply that by 100
Finally, if you don't belong to the marketer group you can't sell. There are places where they produce charcoal, Igbo ora, Alabata etc.
