Why do we ignore such practical experts?

[@godffreykirugumi9434]

This is a very noble idea bearing in mind that one can start from small scale to large scale as they learn the loops of the business...challenge would be how to obtain quality feeds at reasonable prices

[@isaacfmizo6080]

This what I'm planning to venture into next year

[@mosesmbaho2775]

So interesting

[@peterkingori619]

Very good way . Now the pastoralists will need to also copy these practices. But Chamwada you cannot say one year because drought is seasonal and its not there all year round

[@SOFIKUL-et1ju]

Nice

Feeds would be the main challenge in terms of balancing quality and costs.

Yes, it is advisable to store large chunks of food

The idea sounds fabulous, however, I'm skeptical about the manufactured food the guy is talking about......what are the ingredients of the food.....is there GMO?
