The FARM CEO (Issue 87): New Ideas for Feed Formulation in Africa [How to make your own pig feed on the farm, The A-Z of making your own quality chicken feed at home to cut costs

As at this moment of typing THIS message, when you Google the above phrase (ie. “new ideas for feed formulation in africa”) the results page that is returned features a set of images at the top, with links to the respective pages on which they are located.

One of those images is a screenshot of the Automatic Ration Formulation interface in my popular Excel-VB driven Ration Formulation software.- and the image links directly to the Youtube demonstration video I created to show what the app can do, to prospective buyers.

I mentioned the above fact to point our how regular publishing of real world relevant information and education can dramatically boost your search engine visibility – at zero cost.
But let me NOT digress.
My purpose here is to highlight other websites that showed up on that search results page – especially those that offer potentially useful information and education about the serious subject of Feed Formulation.
Here they are…

1. CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC FISH FEED REQUIREMENTS AND MANUFACTURE
A report prepared for the Hatchery Production and Research Centre Project

The Hatchery Production and Research Centre at Bangui-Landjia Project was established in 1980 under the FAO/Government Cooperative Programme (GCP/CAF/007/NET) with funds provided by the Government of the Netherlands.

The project is engaged primarily in work on the African catfish (Clarias lazera), although activities outside the hatchery building itself include pond experiments and small-scale commercial production of Clarias and tilapia in polyculture.

2. ORGANIC FARMER: How to make your own pig feed on the farm

A bag of pig feed costs more than KSh 3,000 in the market. Feeds take up to 80 per cent of pig production costs. Farmers can make their own feeds and sell surplus feed to other farmers. What they need is to know the rations of mixing the different ingredients.

3. The A-Z of making your own quality chicken feed at home to cut costs

Except for a few feed manufacturers who keep to the standards in poultry feed formulations, many feed companies in the country make very poor quality feeds, a situation which has led huge losses.

Poor quality feeds lead to a slow growth in chickens, low egg production, diseases or even death. Making poultry feeds on the farm is one of the best ways to maintain quality and cut the cost of production.
