Pest free zone.
DISEASE causing pests abound in the environment resulting in the use of pesticides .Pest are categorized and hence method of control is based on our focus .
Insects are a nuisance in the environment resulting in disease.They also cause economic losses in homes, offices , feed stores and farm lots.
There is a new handy pack of insecticides that help eliminate these pest; its B OLIVE INSECTICIDE.This will eliminate cockroaches,bugs,flies, spiders,wall geckos and other crawling insects. This potent insecticide can be used as a fumigant for offices,warehouses,garages, and stores.

WASTE MANAGEMENT.
Waste management is simply the method of handling waste such that it becomes a resource and not a pollutant. There are various channels of waste generation such as farm waste, animal waste,human waste and municipal solid waste(MSW).
The waste generated are processed in various ways ,and the products are used in different ways.The major way of processing waste is composting,although this is carried out using various methods. Composting can be done in tanks with 3 holes, a revolving drum , in bags, plastic bags or laid out in designated points.
The benefits of composting are enormous and these include : 1) reduces the cost of waste collection and disposal.
2)reduces pathogenic organisms,harmful insects and weed seeds that are released to the atmosphere.
3)eliminates the need for commercial fertilizers.
4)it enriches the soil.
5) it can be used to produce bio-fuel.
The making of compost is now easy,inexpensive and reduced labor cost with the use of AG-BAGS CALLED ECO PODS. The bags are made of recycled plastic and are sold with all necessary parts to make an EcoPOD® compost. The controlled compaction is used for all types of materials, densities, moistures , and particle sizes.
EcoPOD® is adjusted with its own valving and aeration controls to individualize the composting process, yet use a minimal amount of labor and supervision. Our system is reliable and efficient with capacities to match any requirement.Ag-Bag Environmental offers a patented technology with a high degree of process control.
Composting is a choice in this age as it reduces material volume and produces products that enhance soil structure and benefits new growth.
The Ag bags have the following added advantages; odor control, vector control,leachate control, reduced cycle time of composting,and reduced site area. The AG BAGS ARE ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY EASY AND SAFE TO USE.
The bags can also be used for feed storage, salt storage and as a silage bag.

Enhancing poultry value and performance with drug-free ration.
There are so many schools of thought on the use of drugs, growth promoters in animal feed, with every thought claiming a better advantage over the other.
The use of in- feed medications has been an issue for a while, but more and more people are opting for animals raised without in-feed medication , thus resulting in many major feed millers switching to feed production without medication.
The C.E.O of Fischer feeds in Ontario, Canada is one of such; he decided to stop using in-feed anticoccidials in his feed mill ,his strategy was to put more emphasis on nutrition ,particularly in the early stages of chick development and to keep coccidiosis in check, relying more on a live- oocyst vaccine.
Dr. Rae Fischer, says he “hates putting chemicals and antibiotics in feed”, he told CocciForum magazine in 2005 (issue 11).He says “I want the emphasis to be on good nutrition programs with quality raw materials, ingredients and processing.” He added that poultry raised without antibiotics is what consumers want and the producers should embrace drug free production.
Dr. Fischer was prompted to shift to non medicated feed production for the following reasons;
a) Consumer demand: more and more people are clamoring for birds raised without antibiotics.
b) Better implementation of science: Dr Fischer felt that medications in feed were not the best way to keep enteric diseases at bay.
c) Market report: there has been a lot of feedback stating that this results in resistance after prolonged use.
Dr Fischer further explained that the use of antibiotics may result in insult to livestock thus resulting in animals with diseases that are not visible to the eye but are subsequently passed on to consumers.
Feeds without medication shifts focus to good management, nutrition and vaccination as a means of promoting good intestinal health.

FEEDING OUR ANIMALS.
The saying you are what you eat holds true for you and your animals.Animal husbandry is basically to produce animal products for growth ,development and profit, hence the management of this animals is such that they reach the appropriate market weight and reach maximum productivity.This has led to a lot of management techniques that gets the animal/products to the market but the consumers bear most of the brunt .
Animals are fed medicated feed because of pathogenic bacteria,some of these bacteria develop resistance ,multiply and spread to their products and invariably to those that consume them.
The livestock farmers also give growth promoters to their animals to enhance rapid growth and productivity,while the animals reach market size within a shorter time,the residues of these are consumed in the animal products ; this has been linked to early sexual maturity,obesity and certain hormonal dysfunction in children.
Animals have intestinal bacteria,but instead of giving medicated feed, proper management practices and balanced nutrition will be a better way to secure intestinal health of animals and also preventing infection in man.
ANIMAL HEALTH= HUMAN HEALTH : YOU ARE WHAT YOUR ANIMALS EAT.
The pictures shows the chain reactions that results from resistance to antibiotics.( thanks to C.D.C)
