The Directorate of University Farms (DUFARMS) at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), and Assetrise Ltd. have begun exploring new paths for collaboration in raising Layers and Broilers. This initiative was marked by a recent visit from a team led by Assetrise Ltd.'s Group Managing Director (GMD), Mr. Oluwadurotimi Ojamamoye, to DUFARMS.
The team, accompanied by the Acting Director of DUFARMS, Dr. Emmanuel Bankole; Head of Crop Unit, Mr. Olufemi Solarin; and Chief Agricultural Officer, Mr. Ibrahim Oguntusi, toured the Broilers and Layers sections of DUFARMS.
Dr. Bankole highlighted the progress in the Broilers section, noting that the 2-week-old Broilers weighed 800 grammes each, with over 1,000 birds in total. He added that these Broilers are expected to be table-ready by the end of September. Mr. Oguntusi provided insights into the Broilers’ growth and management, paving the way for potential collaboration.
The team also visited the Layers section, where they learned about the 15-week-old Layers, which are expected to complete 54 weeks of laying by December 2024.
