Poultry farmers in Kano, have expressed worry over the loss of a large number of their poultry due to excess heat witnessed in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of them expressed dismay over the situation, with Mr Usman Abdulmalik, a poultry farmer, saying the situation was worrisome as he had lost over 2, 000 chicks in the past two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe usually connect fans to the farms and use them when there is so much heat, but the recent incessant power outage has worsened the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are left with no idea on how else to manage them because temperature play a vital role in all animal farming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another farmer at Janguza area of the state, Mr Bashir Munkaila, also said that his farm was covered with tall trees yet the heat affected him so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the young chicks on his farm could not resist the excess heat especially at night and had to die en mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am afraid that the present situation will affect the price of chicken very soon because it has been affecting the production of the poultry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs Umma Ismail of Gadon Kaya quaters, said although she owned a small scale poultry farm, she had to sell the remnant of her poultry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been doing poultry for years from home but I have never counted loss as this time. So I had to dispose the remaining and suspend the farming till rainy season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added that she started with about 200 chicks and had lost over 60 to the excess heat, while she decided to dispose the rest to avoid incurring more losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs Ismail then appealed to large scale farmers to find ways of providing alternatives to electricity, to reduce the excess heat.<\/p>\n\n\n
