3 Ways to Successfully Run Your Farm Business in 2022

a thread...

#agribusinesstalk
1. Focus On One Area

A lot of farmers make the mistake of thinking that the best way to build their business is to expand into different areas straight away. For example, if you are already raising cows, you might decide that you should also raise pigs and chickens.
Cont...
The problem is, you are spreading yourself too thin and taking on new livestock that you don’t have any experience with. This often leads to a poor quality product because you are splitting your time and the livestock that you initially started out with may get neglected.

Cattle Feedlotting 101 (thread)
by L Sakutukwa +263774325213

1. BEFORE ARRIVAL OF CATTLE
Before your cattle arrive, as a minimum, the following must be in place:
1.1 Cattle pen is ready to receive the cattle. (1/10)
#agribusinesstalk
Stocking density ranges between 9m2 (hard floor) to 26m2 (muddy floor) per beast

1.2. Feeding troughs are in place. Trough space per animal at least 0.75 cm

1.3. Drinking troughs are in place. Fresh, clean (fluke-free) drinking water is available. (2/10)
#agribusinesstalk
It's best to start with feed that has more hay/fibre than maize/protein concentrate

1.5 Cattle handling facilities are in place including loading/offload ramp, race, crush (or similar), weighing scale or weigh belt

2. (4/10)

Optimizing Broiler Feed Conversion Ratio (a thread)

Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is a measure of how well a flock converts feed intake (feed usage) into live weight. #agribusinesstalk #ZimAgricRising. (1/20)
Small changes in FCR at any given feed price will have a substantial impact on financial margins. Solving, or preventing, FCR problems in a flock requires both good planning and good management #agribusinesstalk #ZimAgricRising. (2/20)
The key to preventing FCR problems is ensuring that throughout the brooding and grow-out period, good management practices are in place so that bird performance is optimized #agribusinesstalk #ZimAgricRising. (3/20)
