Series 14 - Ep 8: Broiler Chicken, Brooding, Dairy, Pest & Diseases and Climate Change
Welcome to Shamba Shape Up!
This week we are in Kabazi in Nakuru county and we are visiting farmer Ruth Muraya.
She is gentle and driven and very meticulous. She wakes up at 4 am to take care of the chicks and likes to plan properly before venturing into something. Works hard, She had a daycare business that closed with covid and so she moved to the farm.
The property is a family farm that was lying idle. She grew up on the property,
It is 5 acres.
Let’s see how we can assist her:
We learn about:
- Broiler chicken: Brooding management.
- Improving your dairy meal to get more out of your cow.
- Climate Change: How can we make our farms climate smart?
- How to use chemicals on the farm, when its absolutely necessary.
