EMPOWERMENT THROUGH GRASSCUTTER FARMING IN NIGERIA

There are many decent ways to make good money farming small garden plots or backyard and a lot of people are using these methods to earn part-time or full-time incomes. Rearing grasscutters in this type of space is one of the best ways to earn cool money in millions.

Grasscutters (a rodent family), like many rodent species have been and continue to be a delicacy in a number of countries, in Latin America, Africa and Asia where markets exist for a wide variety of rodent species for consumption, grasscutters are often preferred over other sources of meat. The vast majority of these animals are still gathered from the wild and several species have been hunted so extensively that they are now extinct. And this offers small-scale farmers, investors, businessmen and all those with wealth-mind set, an economic incentive for raising grasscutters in captivity.

Grasscutters are widely distributed and valued in West and Central Africa . The meat is of a higher protein but lower fat content than domesticated farm meat and it is also appreciated for its tenderness and taste. More recently, intensive production of grasscutters has been undertaken in many African countries, including Nigeria .

Research carried out over the last two decades has allowed the selection and improvement of stock for captivity with much knowledge and techniques for grasscutter production.

Practical information is readily available for anyone interested in grasscutter production.

Grasscutter has been over hunted and savanna habit is often at risk during the dry season from bushfires, which are lit during bush meat hunting expeditions. Grasscutters are not the most prolific of rodent species but the high demand, attract market price and small amount of investment required makes grasscutters a suitable mini-livestock activity for income generation in many part of Nigeria .

There are few Nigerians today that are making brisk business in grasscutter rearing. Grasscutter farming if pursed with the benefit of the right information and knowledge now available is a very viable commercial venture. Grasscutters are mainly herbivorous; require neither imported component of food nor expensive medical expenses if strict hygiene is maintained. They are easy and very cheap to raise. Gestation period of the grasscutter is about 154 days or five month.

Grasscutter meat is a delicacy in Nigeria today and is served in big hotels and restaurants as well as some joints patronized by middle to high level people.

Depending on your experience, grasscutter can be packaged to outfits as pepper soup meat, suya, frozen or dried meat. Most Chinese are looking for the meat as regular meal and also to entertain most of their guests from abroad.

If you rear grasscutter in commercial quantity under good hygienic condition, fast food restaurants such as Mr. Biggs, Tantalizers, and Sweet Sensation etc will be your regular customers. They will only need your assurance of regular supply per week. There is also good market for grasscutter meat in the international market if only you can do a good packaging.

Nigeria’s economic recovery programmes have necessitated a radical shift from total dependence on government for job to self employment. One such attractive area for self employment is grasscutter farming. It is a great money-spinning business that can provide a substantial source of protein to complement Nigerian carbohydrate meals. Sadly Nigerians inclination to go into business in the field where thousand have already made their fortune has led to the utter neglect of such lucrative area as grasscutter farming.

Many who are also into the business of grasscutter farming are unwilling to let others know about the farming methodology. The techniques are after shrouded in secrecy.

Here are the detailed advantages of grasscutter farming:

They can easily be reared at home

They command a very good selling price as a family that is made up of five grasscutters is sold for N35, 000 or more. A serious and dedicated farmer can have close to 200 families at a time

They are herbivorous animals, so they feed mostly on grass.

Grasscutters are polygamous in nature, hence it makes it easy to colony raise them in captivity and in large numbers.

It is a multimillionaire business, if one can take the courage of breeding them on commercial scale.

It is a business venture that can be started on small scale with a space of less than one room.

Source of income and employment: one can depend on grasscutter for his livelihood. In fact, grasscutter farming should create a job opportunities for urban and rural dwellers. The business of producing, processing, transporting, storing, financing and servicing grasscutter products should give employment to many people.

Grasscutter farming is a virgin in the kingdom of livestock as a result earlier investors without doubt have bright prospects in exploring this venture.

You can conveniently earn income a thousand fold higher than your present earning. You can keep your present job and do this on part time.

The demand for grasscutter meat is so large that it is not being met.

Production of pharmaceuticals: The pancreas of the grasscutter is believed to have a high concentration of insulin, which is used in local preparation for the treatment of diabetes. The possibility of using the brains, blood and various organs for producing various biological products for use in medicine and research generally could be explored.

The meat has high carcass quality and protein is comparable to that of poultry.

The meat tastes well and highly relished.

There is no known religion discrimination against grasscutter meat.

Grasscutters do not compete with man for food.

As pets: people usually derived pleasure and satisfaction from raising grasscutters etc.

In order to assist a lot of Nigerians to tap into this highly lucrative venture, our organization, THE THY CONSULTING, has written a manual titled: THE BEAUTY OF GRASSCUTTER FARMING & produced a VCD on COMMERCIAL GRASSCUTTER FARMING; to enable them know all the techniques and secrets of commercial Grasscutter farming.

Only very few Nigerians for now have penetrated the lucrative market and reaping cool big profit without stress. The KNOW-HOW of commercial Grasscutter farming secrets had been covered up and seriously guided for sometime but now we the present Nigerian revolutionary wealth builders have decided to uncover the secrets and release them without reservation to fellow aspiring Nigerians who so desire and keen in generating the wealth building secrets.

Why we are on this mission:

To contribute our quota to eradicate poverty in Nigeria

To empower ourselves to be the best destined for us by our creator-Almighty God.

To share what we know, practice and have worked successfully for us; so as to be blessed with more from the Almighty.

To expose the idea of Grasscutter farming as great income opportunity.

To eliminate idleness and hopelessness in our country.

To show people how to prosper through Grasscutter farming despite the economy.

To motivate the less privileged ones to be self-dependent.

To let people know that our country is greatly blessed with resources yet unexplored.

To direct employees on how to augment their income without affecting their present job.

To create awareness of such a lucrative technology.

To reveal the economic importance, nutritional and medicinal value of grasscutters.

To transfer the technology to retirees, housewives, young school leavers, investors, traders, local dwellers, applicants, family economic advancement programme (FEAP)/NGO and workers who need extra income to augment their merge salary.

To reduce financial crises and crime in our society.

In this mission, that is empowering you to build your desired wealth with peace mind; many are sincerely called, but believe me or not, only few are chosen. Why only few? That is the power of destiny working. The mystery is only known to our creator-Almighty God.

There are few Nigerians today that are making brisk business in grasscutter rearing.

Snail farming in Nigeria,a publication by The News about Ismail AbdulAzeez, a snail farming expert

Snail – Farming To Wealth an Article Written About Ismail AbdulAzeez by The News on 26th July,2010.Page 32 -34.

For three years after his youth service in 2005, Gbenga Ibikunle, a Business Administration graduate, was pounding offices all over Lagos searching for a job. Although Ibikunle had fortuitously undergone a short training in snail farming in Nigeria on the farm estate in Ondo State where he did his service year, the spell was just a formality to him. He was convinced farming wasn’t it; he was looking forward to securing a juicy white-collar job in Lagos.

Three years at home and with no job in sight, Ibikunle was compelled to start thinking of applying the snail farming training he had productively. “It wasn’t as if I was particularly enamoured of the idea,”, he told this magazine. “But, at least, that is the only area I can say I had a training that I can apply with ease and there was space to practice it. It would keep me busy and kill the boredroom that I was increasingly finding most frustrating, but it wasn’t as if I thought anything great of it.”

That was then. Today, Ibikunle has been thinking something of snail farming. Two years ago, he was able to source N25,000 which he ploughed into constructing a snail pen at his backyard. A year and a half after, the graduate small-scale farmer was surprised he could make about N200,000 from marketing the snails. The effort has been paying his bills with something extra to diversify into another small-scale business.

Ismail Abdulazeez quipped that Ibikunle is toeing the snail farming too unambitiously. He probably should know. Abudulazeez is managing consultant of Thy Snail and Grasscutter Consult,  http://www.thethyconsulting.com/thebeautyofsnailfarming.htm  a training and advisory concern that teaches newcomers to the snail and grascutter farming in Nigeria on how to achieve easy streets through the venture. Abdulazeez enthused it is possible to start snail farming with a capital of N100,000 and earn a profit of N1mn within a year.

Mrs. Yemisi Olaleye a Lagos-based retired civil servant agreed. Olaleye claimed to have made a turnover of N100,000 last month alone from snail sales to a friend who runs an eatery.

Gradually, snail farming in is assuming wider significance in Nigeria as various factors, mainly unemployment and diminishing purchasing power prompt people to seek alternatives to beat the hard times. Snails, hermaphroditic animals, belong to the species of animals called ‘Mollusca’. Snails are categorized into three: sea snails, land snails and fresh water snails. They are easily found in a cool, damp or humid environment because such area favour their existence. Virtually the two main components of a snail – the inner edible part and the hard outer shell – are useful for several purposes. Reproduction take place during rainy season as one snail mates with another of the same species, producing normally hundreds of eggs which hatch between 10 – 28 days, irrespective of the type. They mature within five to eight months and could live as long as seven to 10 years.

Farming snails is lucrative, as many Nigerians are realizing. Apart from the fact that it is easy to manage, it does not require much technicalities or capital as snails can easily be found around for the take-off. “It is easy to start with little or no fund. It depends on your purpose, whether it is for personal consumption or commercial reason, and how you want to rear them. The pen ranges from the use of pots, drums and plastic enclosures to ponds. The most important things are know the soil requirements, the appropriate specie needed and protection of the snails from threats, predators, harsh weather and unnecessary human interference, “Abdulazeez informed.

Rearing snails on a small scale simply entails putting them in a pot, a drum, or any vessel deemed fit, fill with humus soil about 3-5inches deep. Dry, sandy or heavy soil like clay is not suitable for snail farming. Such soils’ components make them inactive and do not have the necessary organic components needed for optimal growth.

Rearing them on a larger scale or for a business motive requires, of course, more resources. A choice can be made from the pond system, the poultry type and the free range system. These methods might necessitate getting a small piece of land to construct a poultry –like enclosure for the poultry system, the open pond or pen for the free range system. The last option allows the snails to dwell in what is a replica of their natural habitat. This is achieved by constructing pens, rectangular-shaped enclosures made of wood, cement, 6-inch blocks and galvanized sheet steel to house the snails. The floor of the pens must be filled with humus and the top covered with net to wars off birds or predators.
It is important to maintain good hygiene. A pen should be not be overcrowded with snails to prevent diseases.

Research has shown that the West African giant snail Archanchatina Marginata is the most appropriate for farming in Nigeria because it suits the climatic conditions in the country. It will take about a year for it to grow properly for harvesting. From snout to tail it can grow properly for harvesting. From snout to tail it can grow up to 15 inches or 39.3cm and has a high monetary value in Nigeria due to its high demand. Feeding snails is less expensive. It is usually done once in a day. They are always more active at night due to the fact that this is when they feed. Though there are some specially packed feeds or mash for snails. They can still feed on juicy vegetables and fruits which include pawpaw, mango, pineapple, sweet potatoes, leaves, peels from yam, lettuce, tomatoes, cocoyam, beans, water leaf and citrus. The fact that the feeds can be sourced locally and everywhere adds to making snail farming in Nigeria a less expensive business.

Snail farmers are making a kill as global demand for the delicacy increases. In Nigeria, the price of raw snail ranges from N250 to N600 depending on the size. The fast food culture has been enhancing demand for the prepared meat. Some farmers are on the supply bill of eateries and are, therefore, assured of a ready market for their harvest. Market abroad are also yearning for snails from west African. France requires about five million kilogram of the stuff annually, a larger percentage of it coming from snail farming countries like Nigeria. The United States of America also imports close to mn worth of snails annuall from all over the world, including Nigeria. In West African, mostly in Nigeria, the annual requirement is estimated to be 7.9mn kg. in Ghana, it is about 15,000 tonnes.

The universal practice in the snail export business is to prepare and pack the meat before shipping. Mature snails are dipped in hot water and boiled for 20 to 30minutes. Thereafter the edible part is disengaged from the shell washed severally with vinegar, lime and salt water and packed in a polythene bag weighing 4 to 8kg, or canned. The consignment is frozen to keep it fresh for export. Snail demand continues to be higher than supply on the market, providing a fillip for both existing and new investors.

Raising snails demands sacrifice of time in monitoring and protecting them from human interfence, theft, ants, ear wigs, toads, frogs, nematodes, fungi, millipedes, vibration, lizards, unnecessary noise, harsh lighting torch and wetting their pens, especially during the dry season. The profitability of the business, however, levels out the challenges. “Virtually every part of a snail is useful for several purposes – economic medicinal or pharmaceutical. The financial benefits in farming it far outweigh the challenges,” Olaleye said, “As a part-time vocation, it can be successfully run alongside one’s usual job or other businesses.” She said. If a grower starts a snail farm with 50 snails, it can produce averagely up to 250,000 adult snails worth over N5mn in a year. Snail reproduce rapidly, depending on the type. The archachatina Marginata and the Achatina Achatina which are the commonest species in West Africa could lay about 200-400 eggs two or three times a year.

Points of interest of Western Cape Farms

Aside from currently being probably South Africa’s agriculturally most profitable provinces, Western Cape also displays some very nice surroundings together with exciting entertainment alternatives. The combination of the fertile soil, positive climate, closeness to big urban centers, unspoilt natural setting and wide range of options make Western Cape farms a unique investment choice.

Geography

The Goukou River moving with the land makes the land really fertile as well as outstanding for farming of a number of crops, generally grapes and also wheat. The presence of the Goukou River supplemented together with the existence of considerable amounts of ground water in the region tends to make irrigation very easy and hassle-free for Western Cape farms. In addition to the river, the geographic diversity of the area is added to by a shoreline that faces the Atlantic Ocean as well as to some extent, the Indian Ocean. There is also a hilly area in Western Cape.

Wine

Western Cape delivers a few of the earliest as well as finest vineyard and vineyards on earth. The legendary Vergelegen vineyard situated in Somerset West in the Western Cape Province is probably the most celebrated wine makers in the world. The Neethlingshof Estate in Stellenbosch and Groot Constantia in Constantia are two additional well-liked wine farms in Western Cape. The Breedekloof Wine Valley, has a lot of the wine producing Western Cape farms, particularly those which develop Chardonnay becasue it is main produce. The Stellenbosch Wine festival is a favorite and much awaited function in Western Cape that has been kept every year for almost a decade now. For anyone planning to cultivate grapes, Cape farms offer the best of conditions in all of South Africa.

Recreation

The presence of the sea side as well as hilly areas in close by regions alllow for a wide range of leisure activities in Western Cape. The green slopes of the Helderberg Mountain range make it great for Jeep expeditions and also hikes. Similarly, the sea on the other side of Western Cape has some great scuba diving and surfing locations along with other water related activities like yachting and swimming. The Bloukrans Bridge, located close to Nature’s Valley in Western Cape, is a popular adventure sports location as it is the world’s highest bungee jumping point. Western Cape farms are located quite close to bigger cities and towns that have great sporting facilities like 18-hole golf courses, tennis courts, cricket grounds and basketball courts among various other sporting activities.

Proximity to cities and towns

The greatest asset of Cape farms is, perhaps, its convenient location that so efficiently combines the serenity and calmness of rural life with the convenience of urban life. Schools, colleges, banks, state-of-the-art hospitals, shopping centers and restaurants can all be found with a few miles from most Cape farms. Throughout the year, there are so many social meets and gatherings in different parts of the Western Cape Province that make it a very sociable and happy community. Western Cape has also developed into something of a developing tourist destination in the recent past with eco tourism as an important part of the tourist package.

Basic Ant Farm Gel Colony Knowledge

Although ants can become a nuisance in the kitchen, several people farm them. They do it by providing ants a private home to live in. Such people love watching these little insects overwork their small bodies non-stop. An ant has an activity to keep it busy and on the move always. Once they mark their territories, ants will make burrows and tunnels under the soil as if they have no tomorrow. Since it is hard to locate a place where ants have made a permanent home near you, just buy an ant farm gel colony. This settlement is ready made and available for sale in your local stores or online stores.

Gel ant farms represent a new technology. They replace the old sand and soil ant farms that some grown men and women made in their childhood. With these, you can virtually have no nurturing activity to do each day. Once you buy and set up this gel colony in place, you can enjoy viewing your little friends’ activity for three months. After this period, your ants’ life will gradually end. If you want to get this item for your child, you have good plans. These items provide enough learning opportunity for your children.

It also allows you to get away from daily stress and to have fun. A major advantage you would have by buying this ant farm gel colony is clear observation. Since most of these antworks are made of clear plastic or glass, one can easily observe how ants work. They tunnel and dig holes and make their home beautiful. They feed on the same gel and live inside the container. It keeps their small bodies healthy and hydrated and thus gives them strength to work out all day long. Some people add one drop of honey or a little sugar occasionally.

Even bread can act as a good supplement. Knocking down an antwork can destroy the tunnels that your ants have managed to make. Make sure that you do not disturb the ant farm at any time. After noticing that your little pets have reached their life expectancy, you can refill them. Another way you can avoid buying other ants is by finding a queen ant. Dig up the soil and pick a queen ant or spend a little money to buy her. You need not find yourself in the wrong side of the law. Here in the US, queen ants are not for sale or exporting.

This law is in place to prevent ecological problem that could result if a non-native ant grows out of control. Although ants for sale are available, some people still make their own. Then, they dig up ants in their yards at the spots where many of them are available. You can as well find winged queen ants and eggs. Of course, your babies must not interfere because ants can generously bite. In these modern times, many people lack time to spare for doing other activities. That is why the only choice they have is ready items for sale. Look for ant farm gel colony for sale over Internet.

Is Farming Really The UK’s Most Dangerous Industry?

<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –>

Despite being one of the world’s oldest careers, farming is still underestimated by many given it is such a dangerous and often deadline industry. Although farming machinery and technology has helped carve social and industrial revolution and continues to develop, there are many dangers associated with working the land, breeding animals and handling chemicals that are now commonplace in farming. Any rose-tinted perception of farming aside, what are the most dangerous aspects to this age-old profession?

Working and operating heavy machinery as part of everyday farm equipment is the most common cause of death and injury in the farming industry. Tractors and other vehicles can be susceptible to ‘rolling’ and can end up crushing both the driver and any passengers inside. Driving farm machinery on public roads is also hazardous as regular car drivers become impatient with slower moving, heavy vehicles which can quickly lead to traffic accidents. Furthermore, noisy machinery can cause irreversible damage to hearing if the correct ear protection is not worn.

With farmers employing a range of pesticides and fertilisers to protect their crops it’s not uncommon for many farmers to suffer burns, long-lasting respiratory problems and even suffocation from toxic fumes and deadly liquids. Since pesticides and sprays must be applied manually to the crop, it’s not uncommon for farmers to suffer at the hands of the weather as well. Spending large amounts of time outdoors leads to an increased risk of sun cancer, especially if little consideration is given to wearing sun screen.

Finally, the majority of farmers naturally come into contact with animals on a daily basis unless their business is purely crop farming. Farmyard animals such as cows, pigs and sheep can look harmless in children’s storybooks and nursery rhymes but livestock farming boasts many a risk too. Transporting large groups of livestock from one location to the next can result in stampede or farm workers being crushed by aggressive or even unwitting animals.

Health and safety plays a big role onto today’s farms when it comes to reducing risk and encouraging positive protocol. Given that many farmers continue working well into their 70s, there are also calls for farmers to acknowledge their own abilities and to recognise when they are undertaking work that would perhaps be better suited to a more able person. It just takes a moment to compare life cover being a farmer and an office worker to see the difference in price – farming really is one, if not the most dangerous, profession in the world.

Livestock Farming in UK has been very much in existence. Primarily, livestock farming includes rearing of pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens.

Livestock farming leads to production of multiple goods viz. meat, milk and eggs for human consumption. With the presence of two types of livestock farming viz. intensive livestock farming and organic livestock farming.

Intensive Livestock farming or factory farming means livestock is reared on a commercial basis. The entire livestock farming property could resemble a factory. The livestock so reared are confined in one place with restricted movement – both indoors as well as outdoors.

Intensive Livestock farming gained worldwide acceptance because it enabled mass production of meat in order to meet the increasing demand of meat. This mass production in a way led to reduction in meat prices and thereby cost of living in most meat eating countries. Though popular, there have been studies and researches which highlight its negative features which are -

Use of artificial supplements to maintain health

Restriction of animal movement which leads to poor health

Possibility of diseases being transmitted from animals to human beings

Issue of Environmental Degradation

Intensive farming controversies and debates have led to emergence of organic livestock farming. Organic livestock farming is nearly the best alternate to intensive livestock farming as its distinctive features include

Use of organically developed feed and fodder

Use of natural solutions to tackle pest and weed related issues

The livestock reared under organic farming is fed on organic food and allowed to roam within the farm boundaries. Though organic farming is expensive to maintain and sustain, it is environment friendly. It does provide quality toxin-free and healthier meat for human consumption.

Livestock is also allowed to roam around the farm and graze on organic foods. The quality of livestock so reared is better as compared to those in intensive livestock farming. Organic farming is expensive to maintain and fed with good quality of food. Though it does not yield the mass quantities of products, the quality is far more superior.

Increasing preference of organic farming is gaining momentum, though the cost factor is the main hindering factor. The increase in demand can be ascertained by people preferring and demanding organic products and meat. This move could encourage shopkeepers to stock organic meat and related products.

Livestock farming offers farmers to earn through multiple products. The choice of type of livestock farming depends upon individual choice and earning capacity. Environment sustenance is important but it becomes equally crucial to cater to increasing food demands of the population across which reiterate the importance of intensive livestock farming.
