Sly Investment operations manager Bester Kayaye said the workshops seek to capacitate smallholder farmers with the right tools to venture into poultry farming business as integral element for economic inclusion.
“Through the workshops, participants will be taken through all the appropriate levels of poultry management that include proper housing management, feed formulation, vaccination programme, marketing disease and parasites control, biosecurity, brooding system, and basic accounting concepts which are very important for a farmer to make sound decisions on daily developments of his poultry business,” Kaye said.
