Poultry Farming God’s Way

Sep 01, 2011

The challenges of 2011 for the Sierra Leone poultry farmers is the escalating price of corn which is one of their main feed ingredients. With no commercial feedmill they also have difficulty obtaining a reasonably priced concentrate (approx 30% of ration with essential protein, vitamins and minerals) as well as being able to balance their feed nutrients. SCHDO is taking up the challenge with God’s help to deal with these problems, including training the farmers in essential principles of Farming God’s Way adapted to poultry farming.
