👍
Very Educative to interested Ones to venture into dairy farming.
Thanks very much fred
much welcome
Good
Thank you for watching
Great work fred what is the importance of blue feeding troughs over concrete once?
Unlike cement, it will not rust or crack, won't absorb moisture or feed. Smooth surface doesn't hurt cow's tongues like rough cement and protruding rocks.
That's very educative mostly for new farmers. What's your contact
Thank you for watching.Whatsapp +254793754966
How big is your farm to cater for 4cows? How many litres of milk do you milk on Daily basis through out the year?
1/4 acre.But i source fodder from other leased places.On average currently am doing 18 litres but improving with time.
@FredDairyFarm that's good but what's the price of leasing and are the leased farm with nappier grass plant ready on the farm?
@@Xaswawa-rz2et For my case,i leased a bushy field and i had to clear it and dig,then planted maize for silage.1 acre goes for 12k per year.Make sure you have a lease agreement before leasing
@@FredDairyFarmyou planted your grass/maize on your own and cutt, make silage for your cows? You are very hard-working. Keep going.
@@FredDairyFarmpost more contents and videos to share more with the World
Nice work, following your steps
Thank you.Together we will make it
True
Fred I have irrelevant question. She is almost calving down. When do I stop giving dry salt? and what should i give after stopping dry. Salts for maziwa au??
For me i stop feeding dry salts(Mack lick dry) 10 days to calving and i introduce high phosphorous and calcium mineral salts(Macklic super) and kupa kula gold.
Nice 💪🏾
Thanks
Mwalimu you are proof that good things come to those who are willing to sacrifice to reach a worthwhile goal.... congratulation 🙏🏾

Much welcome.Thanks for watching
when feeding silage what estimate does a cow consume in a day in kgs .
Depends on body weight,stage of lactation and many factors.A cow should consume 2-3% of its body weight as forage dry matter
During which months are more available? Also do you have a source for lucern?
After rains they are in plenty.For lucern i have no connections
Hey, can you give us a number or link to a trusted supplier please?
Hey! whats your location?

Hey @ fred the secret of achieving heifers at the end of the pregnancy?
Good job Mr. Fred. Nitatembea
Thank you.Much welcome
where do iget that water container and how much
I bought mine from those juakali hardwares.
Great That calf is 3 months! Your secret to that?
Adlib colostrum feeding,Quality calf pellets,minimum6kgs litres per day,water at adlib,calf mineral salts,quality hay,de worming monthly and ensuring top notch general management.There is no secret.
You're more Educator on practicals❤
Thank you.In farming,practicals are the mot important part compared to theory
God's grace,I envoy u
@@charlesmbithi881 Gods grace it is.
Haha waow lovely man the meni calf is really grown just the other day it was born
Yeah..Kukazana bro.Time is all we need to become better if not the best dairy farmers.
What can be used to replace Urea in this formula?
NaOH, CaO, ammonia, sulfuric acid
Very innovative. Thank you for sharing. Please can this silage formula be fed to pigs?
The silage is best fed to pigs that are over three months of age and weigh more than 25kg.The results, although not conclusive, indicate that some urea (1 to 2% ) can be used by the growing pigs. However, the diet must supply the essential amino acids, or they must be added if there is to be a positive response.But be very careful of nitrate poisoning.
I need supper napper to plant
Whatsapp me on 0793754966
Good day to you Madam. I am Mr. Castro from Cambodia I want some heifer if the price are good I will say bye till I hear from you
Sorry i am Sir not Madam.Currently am not selling heifers.
👏👍
There is one thing u r forgetting to tell us,after compucting and tying,how long is it going to take so that it can be ready to feed the animals?
With molaplus microbes 3-4 days.without, 28 days.
Great job where are you located
Thank you.Nyeri town
👍
Very well
What are the differences between the three ,napier grass, super napier and elephant grass?
They are all in grass family,the difference is the crude protein content,growth rate and yield rate
Always like to view your content. I think it would be good if you could add the approximate kgs a lactating cow should consume, the dry ones and the heifers just as you have mentioned they require different types of salts and minerals.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will include the amount of fodder needed for different categories of cows in my future videos.
Try to make ur vids short no need to see whole process of chapping...
Thank you for suggestion.I will do better in the coming videos.Thank you for watching.
Your explanation is kind of vague on this one.
Sorry for that.I will do better in the next videos
What if you only use molasses and amino salts
Still good.but you have to wait for 28 days before feeding your cows
Rain water and moisture cannot destroy it?
no.thats why i used polythene papers and heaped a lot of soil on top
After how long will be ready?
28 days
Nice job. What's the cost estimates for your silage polythene that you're using. Kindly answer that.
Thank you.We have papers with different gauges .for me i use 1000 gauges polythene paper and a meter goes for 25o ksh.
