Animal ranching is the modern-day form of animal husbandry in a stable ( building in which domestic animals are sheltered and fed.) Animals are individually stationed in a pen or cage in a row of other animals. The total land space could be about 500 hectares for a minimum of 1000 Cattles.

This confinement of animals makes it possible to give holistic care for the animals such as Inspection, Feeding, Lairage, Milking, Crossbreeding, and Veterinary care among others.

INSPECTION

General appearance of the animals eg. Possibility of diseases in an old emaciated cow is greater than in a well finished prime young animals.

Temperature should be 38.5°C.
The Ear, Hoof, and Horn should be cool to touch. The eyes should be bright and clear.
Irritability, animals should be alert and attempt to move if approached.
The animals should not bear patches or signs of parasitical conditions.
Breathing should be steady and regular
If any, cough can be induced by pinching the lynx.
No offensive discharges, Urine should be a straw color not cloudy, and in a strong continuous discharge.
The animals are regularly vaccinated to prevent the spread of transborder diseases.

FEEDING

Herbage / hay / straw – These are grass fodder . This provides job opportunities for Herbagers from improved herbs species.
Molasses, this is a sucrose waste from sugar factories. Molasses is given to produce glucose in the body which can be oxidised to Yeild milk. It’s energy given ration usually dissolved in the drinking water of the cows.
Calcium for strong Bones.
Water , excess water is given to wash the intestine to reduce microbial flora.

LAIRAGE

This is a stage of rest to rejuvenate the animals.

CROSS BREEDING

Local breed ( Bunaji)can produce only about 4- 6 kilos of milk per day which is barely enough to feed their calves leaving nothing over for processing. While imported Holstein Frisian heifers can produce about 35kg of milk per day.
With artificial insemination to crossbreed the foreign with the local the level of milk secretion will surely improve while the beef quality could match the export quality range.

MILKING

Currently, + Nigeria is not in the league of Dairy producing countries of the world making her to be massively import dependent nation on dairy products which are by far more profitable than beef we consume locally with no foreign exchange attraction.

Dairy products will attract Technology that is currently not in existence such as necessary infrastructure to support large cold storage facilities at various locations for the highly perishable milk.

Refrigerated transportation system for the collection of fresh milk from point to point.
Network of distribution system for products with low shelf life. etc.

VETERINARY SURGEON

Attending to animals health care.

The aforementioned are various jobs opportunities and many more that modern-day ranching will attract..

CONCLUSION

Ranching will reduce the farmers -Ranchers clashes

Ranching will reduce high cost of doing business with bringing and keeping the expatriate staff in our dairy companies.

Reduction of foreign exchange sourcing for dairy products.

-Antioxidants
Cashews are rich in carotenoids and Polyphenols antioxidants that helps reduce inflammation and offers protection from disease.

-Low Sugar
Cashews are low in sugar which helps reduce the risk for serious diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, Lung disease, Heart disease, Liver disease, fatty buildup and enhances weight loss.

-Rich in Fibers
Fibers are very important to normalize bowel movement, also increases weight and size of stool thereby improving transit.

-Plant Protein
Cashews contain phytonutrients and quicker muscle repair property. Plant proteins have been linked to a lower risk of stroke heart disease

-Essential micro-nutrients
Cashew kernels are a good source of copper, magnesium and Manganese (nutrients for energy production, brain health, immunity and bone health
).

-Reduce cholesterol
Too much cholesterol in the body cause plaque buildup in arteries which can lead to atherosclerosis (cardiovascular disease).

✔️At WufasAgronet, we provide adequate cooling effects on milk production and other perishables to support the Livestock Ministry through our competent INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP with foreign experts.

TYPES OF COLD CHAINS

-SHOCK FREEZERS
Shock Freezers are professional equipment that controls temperature necessary for keeping products fresh for a long time.
While preserving the products the equipment makes to keep undamaged nutritional value of the products after being defrosted. The equipment is made to consists of Double Stage Semi Hermatic compressors. The Shock freezers system allows to lower the temperature very rapidly up to -180°C degrees. Freezing is provided by air coolers of it by blowing over fronted surface of the wagon. This enables to freeze down quickly in cold air flow. The room air should not exceed 35°/-40.°C. Besides, it’s proven to be a low-waste and environment friendly system.

COLDSTORAGE
This system is manufactured and installed with the entire components like it is ready to use. It could be of mobile device.
This system can be disassembled so it can be moved to other places.
Cold storage consist of the following levels and types of preserving:
-Cold-rooms 🙁 +16° / +5°C)
-Cold storage Rooms (+5°/-5°C)
-Freezing Rooms : (-18°/-23°C)
-Shock freezer :(-35°/-40°C) .

DEEPFREEZE ROOMS.
These are for preserving products such as meat, poultry etc. For a long time. They are preserved under temperatures not exceeding – 18°/-23°C. In order to isolate these rooms 150mm width sandwich panels are used.

COLD ROOMS
Cold rooms are used to keep baked goods, chocolates etc.
The cold rooms prevent bacteria from growing. Low ventilation allows workers to work without endangering their health which is very important aspect too.
