    matters arising on Dogs

    Are Foreign Dog Breeds Suitable for Our Homes? Understanding the Behavior of Local and Imported Dogs. Dogs are among the most loyal and affectionate domesticated animals known to humans. For centuries, they have served as companions, protectors, hunters, and even helpers in various household and farm activities. Their strong sense of loyalty makes them naturally protective of their owners; many dogs are willing to place themselves in danger when their owners are threatened. At the same time, they remain playful, social, and responsive to human emotions. One remarkable trait of dogs is thei...

    matters arising on Earthworm casting

So, what exactly are they? These are called Earthworm Castings. The materi...

    matters arising on My Experience Raising Local Turkeys in Nigeria (Part 1)

    Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience raising local domesticated turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), and one of the most important lessons I have learned concerns disease management—especially a particular infection that is extremely deadly to turkeys if not properly controlled. The Most Deadly Disease in Turkey Production. From my observations, there is a specific infection that I consider the most lethal disease in the entire life cycle of turkeys, once it becomes established on a farm. This disease commonly appears when turkeys are between 5 and 10 weeks old. In severe out...
