Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Uganda!
This week we’re in Kasutaime village in Mayuge and we want to see what our 35-year-old farmer, Gerald Machario, is doing on his 12 acres.
Like most farms here, Gerald’s land is fragmented. He still grows sugarcane, bananas, maize and beans but it’s mainly for home consumption.
But he now has a new project on six acres and it’s not crop: he wants to focus on kuroiler chicken, cows and pastures, is it because it’s more profitable than any other crop… I mean no coffee Gerald?
Let’s go and learn more:
1) Chicken:
• Management of existing kuroilers
• Housing spacing, feeders, drinkers + perches
2) Pasture varieties and properties + storage
3) Cows improving breeds and using Artificial Insemination
