Nutritious Maggots farming in Kenya
High cost of feeds is among the challenges farmers face today. When it comes to poultry and piggery farming, the prices of feeds keep fluctuating causing farmers uncertainty and obviously, higher costs of production.
However, being able to make your own feeds is both saving and innovative.
Being able to make lasting, nutritious feeds from maggots could be one of the ventures that could save your feed woes by at least saving a penny of your expenses on feeds!
maggots contain a lot of proteins.
Beyond high costs There is also a tendency of duplication of feeds. For example, part of the silver fish powder can be sand and part of it is silver fish, bringing complications to birds such as failure to lay eggs.
Again, after realising the problem with silver fish – being expensive and rare of late, we compared it to maggots and the difference in inputs was as easy as visible.
