fuel costs have skyrocketed, animal feeds specifically poultry feeds have gone up, But a Kenyan farmer has to survive!

And as a poultry farmer I have come up with a plan B.

I will make my own poultry feeds and i have been on a research spree! So far for chick mash I understand i need to combine Whole maize,Rice jam,Wheat bran,Wheat pollad, Fish meal, Stock lime,Coccid,Mulivit, Salt,DCP and Preari.

Where can i get large quantities of the above hapa nairobi? Suppliers wajitambue smile

@peglo, thanks for your thinking. I am about to Start poultry too, but please the ingredients you are quoting seems quite foreign. Please can you use farmers language so that i can benefit, is whole maize same as the normal unga from orego/gethei? like my mom had us mill in the village, what is rice jam Please. Lastly I thought chicks do not feed on salt?

You can get them in the agrovets. Correction, you'll buy 'rice germ' wheat pollard is similar to 'unga ya nguruwe'
All the best
