Embrace modern system of production, Osun Govt tasks poultry farmers.


 

 Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security in the state of Osun, Hon Adedayo Adewole,has admonished  farmers in the  State to embrace  modern trends in Agriculture. 

Hon.Adewole gave this admonition at a one day Seminar  organized by Animal Science Association of Nigeria (ASAN), Osun State Chapter in conjunction with Poultry Association of Nigeria ( PAN) State of Osun  Chapter.
   
The seminar which held at PAN House  Osogbo, afforded the state Commissoner for agriculture another opportunity to reel out  series of efforts made and still being put in place by Oyetola led administration to ensure food sufficiency and security in Osun.

The Agric Commissoner  who was represented by the Cordinating Director of the  Ministry, Mrs Adegbemisola Fayoyin, particularly urged poultry farmers  to key into modern  trends in the  management  and feeding of their animals. 
 
Hon.Adewole  similarly  advised  Poultry farmers to diversify their production styles by also going  into maize production which will also enable them to  produce  animal feeds on their own instead of going to the market   to  buy the  feeds at exorbitant  prices. 

The Commissoner further  observed that   the cost of feeding takes 70 percent of the total production cost of poultry farmers. Against this backdrop  , going into maize production to prepare their animal feeds on  their own will serve as a means of effectively  maximizing  profits in poultry production, according to Hon.Adewole.
 
While appreciating the organisers of the one day seminar for its timeliness and in particular their support for his Ministry, Hon. Adedayo Adewole   hinted   poultry farmers in the state will soon be avail yet another  opportunity of enjoying  the popular  Osun Broiler  Out growers Production  Scheme 3 (OBOPS3),which according to him will be revived by Oyetola led administration.
 
The Guest Lecturer at the seminar,Dr Sunday Adegbaju talked extensively on the need for farmers to be alive to their responsibilities especially in embracing  new techniques and trends that would help them have more productive yields in their day to day  operations as farmers.

 Dr Adegbaju also highlighted  the importance of having proper biosecurity to prevent incurring avoidable cost during production.
