Very inspiring story to prospective Quail Farmers. Read! cc: Malila, Coturnix, Chasha

To Liu Yongxing, president of the 20-year-old Hope Group, the plant is his millennium hope -- and the hope of Chinese farmers.
"It makes me the richest man in China, and makes money for farmers," the farmer's son said in an interview with Xinhua.

Worth US$1 billion, the plant, which mainly produces feedstuff, is China's most powerful private company. For several years, one of Liu's jobs had been to paint advertisements along every major highway in the countryside: "Use Hope's feedstuff, and your pigs will grow stronger and fatter."

By 2000, the 54-year-old self-made tycoon had established 100 feedstuff-processing factories throughout China. Forbes, of the US, ranked Liu as the richest man on the Chinese mainland in 2001.

However, 20 years ago, when he and his brothers established their first company, a quail-raising farm, Liu's wealth only came to 1,000 yuan (US$120).

"We had to sell our watches and bicycles to acquire our first investment to buy the lovely birds," Liu said.

But things soon changed after that, when the gifted Lius recognized the significance of bio-ecology in an agriculture-dominated country.

"We began to use quail's droppings to feed the pig, and to use the pig's feces to feed the fish, and the fish's feces to feed the quail. In this way, we built our own bio-chain," he said.

The difference between a natural biological chain and the Liu model is that Liu used a computer to control the whole process.

That was unusual in the countryside. But Chinese farmers were smart enough to understand the effectiveness of Liu's method, and they enthusiastically asked Liu for help. At that moment, Liu realized that he could sell his invention for money.

Based on the "quail dropping discovery" Liu developed his Hope feedstuff, which eventually became a well-known brand throughout the country, easily beating all import feedstuff products. The recipe is still a well-kept secret.

Liu and his brothers have said farewell to bicycles, and they now ride in luxury sedans, fly to developed countries to give lectures, and air their views at China's parliamentary meetings.

And farmers are the biggest beneficiaries. They have purchased Liu's feedstuff and built their own super pigpens.

"It is not a business miracle, but a political result," Liu said. " Deng Xiaoping 's reform and opening up policy was like a hammer shattering a big stone that lay on us. The Hope Group is like a seed under the broken stones which grows with the help of fresh rain water."

Liu recalled that in the 1970s families were not allowed to raise quails because the business was considered "a way of corrupt capitalist economy".

He said that his business developed even faster after 1992 when Deng Xiaoping made a tour to the southern part of China where he called for a faster economic growth rate. Liu is proud to be a native of Sichuan Province, that is, from the same province as Deng.

Liu also attributes his success to science. Unlike most farmers laboring in the fields, Liu was a college graduate who majored in mathematics. "I know more about what the knowledge economy is than my fellow villagers," he said.

Liu was once given the title: "China's best private entrepreneur using science and technology" by the then State Commission of Science and Technology.

Liu said his greatest hope is to make all Chinese farmers rich and to fill the gap between cities and the countryside.

To reach his ambitious goal, Liu is not satisfied with just being the "King of Feedstuff" in China. In 2001, his group took the first step towards a global strategy by building two feedstuff factories in Vietnam.

"We have already entered the WTO. Why not try it on the international arena? One day you will see Hope on the New York Stock Exchange," said the farmer's speaker.

Very interseting story and indeed an enterprising one

nadhani kama alivyotuambia Malila lazima watokee watu atakao sucrfice ile hawa wafalme kwenye viti vyao katika offisi zinazotegemea revenues kutoka kwa walipakodi washituke na ni lazima washinikizwe in a natural cycle ili weweze kukubali refoms .... Ninasikia kilimo kwanza kama nyimbo za koffie olomide kwani sioni sera yake inasaidije mfugaji pia nilimsikia mkuu wetu akiongelea benki ya wakulima je mipaka yake ikoje ... Nani atawasaidia wafugaji

Mimi ninaamini wakulima na wafugaji ni kitu kimoja na wanategemeana kama ecosystem inavyotokea .... Mimea inatoa oxygen na wanyama wanaitumia vilevile wanyama wanatoa carbondioxide na mimea inatumia

Malila njoo huku

Nipo mkuu,
Lazima nijilipue,maadamu najua mahali pa kuchukua vifaranga vya kware, basi, ni lazima nifuge tu. Kilimo kwanza ni ngonjera kama zilivyo ngonjera za Tambalizeni ( Rip) kwenye mikutano ya siasa. Benki ya wakulima wakati hawana colateral yo yote ni upuuzi,wakulima wangepewa hati za ardhi zao kwanza, kisha sera za kilimo kwanza zije. Hivi mkulima wa Tunduru mpaka aje apate trector ni lini wakati korosho zake anakopwa?

Lile lililo ndani ya uwezo wetu tulifanye, mojawapo ni hili, tufuge kware, kiti, simbilisi,sungura,nyuki,na kulima matunda. Wenye nguvu kubwa wapande huko huko juu waliko.

Mkuu ni kweli kabisa hii Nchi ni full maigizo na that is why wenzetu wa East Africa wanatutenga, kuna watu wanashangilia lakini ukweli ni kwamba Bongo kuna Boa sana,

Wanasiasa wanaimba kilimo kwanza but ukweli ni kwamba hakuna kilimo kwanza wala nini, Haiingii akilini huko wizara ya kilimo yenyewe Bajeti do kwanza inatumika kununua V8,

Njoo Wizara ya viwanda ni full Maigizo, vikwazo vya kufanya biashara ni vingi sana,na hakuna anaye jari, mimi huwa inaniuma sana wenzetu wako mbali sana hata tukigundua nini hatuwezi wafikia,

Kinacho Uma zaidi utakuta Benki kama TIB now day sijui inaitwa nini, wanao kopeswa ni watu wenye uwezo mkubwa sana hasa wageni, Wazungu Mfano wa Arusha wanao lima maua wao wanachukua mikopo TB bila shida ishu iko kwa wazawa
 
shukrani kwa mtoa mada.. nimrpata inspiration na nimejifunza pia.
 


PHOTO | FILE A woman feeds chickens Farmers in Nakuru are now embracing quails. NATION MEDIA GROUP
​

Farmers in Nakuru are abandoning chicken rearing in favour of keeping quail that is proving to be more lucrative.

Due to the rising price of chicken feeds, poultry farmers say quails are less costly to rear while the demand for them in the market is steadily rising.

A group of farmers at Barnabas in Lanet area in Nakuru town have even formed a cooperative society to market their birds.

"We started off with only 15 farmers, but our group has now expanded. We have more than 50 members who are keeping the quails and many more are set to join us," Ms Elizabeth Nyambura, a group member, said.

"A quail chick eats about 50g of feed every day, but an ordinary chick consumes more than twice that amount," she said.

The cost of feed is not helping matters as a 70kg bag of chicken mash that was selling for Sh4,000 early this year is now going for between Sh4,500 and Sh5,000. A 50kg bag is retailing for between Sh3,000 and Sh3,500.

Ms Nyambura added that quail farmers start enjoying the fruits of their labour after two weeks as the hatched chicks can be sold at between Sh400 and Sh500. The main market for them is the farmers who want to start their own venture.
But to keep quail, one needs to first obtain a license from the Kenya Wildlife Service authorising them to keep the birds.

NOT DOMESTIC ANIMALS

KWS Senior Warden in charge of Utilisation and Monitoring in Mountain, East and North areas Paul Opiyo said the birds are not domestic animals, "and anybody keeping them without the knowledge of KWS is doing an illegal business and is flouting KWS rules and regulation and must be arrested," he said. KWS has also increased the annual license fee from Sh500 to Sh1,500 due to the demand for the licenses.

"The demand for the quail birds is very high as many businessmen in Nairobi are placing orders, and at times we are unable to meet their demand," Ms Nyambura said.

While a chicken egg sells for between Sh15 and Sh20 in the shops, a quail egg retails at Sh70; this exorbitant price could be attributed to the fact that the eggs are rare, and few people keep the birds.

"Some farmers with large number of quail birds are capable of selling up to 40 eggs per day and that translate to Sh2,800 every day," said Ms Nyambura.
A grown quail fetches between Sh900 and Sh1,200.

Nairobi has attracted a huge number of clients as the business started in the city where high-end hotels now specialise in the product.
But towns like Nakuru and Eldoret are now also embracing the new venture.

Keeping quail requires substantial investment as the cheapest incubator that has a capacity of 661 eggs costs Sh84,000. They are imported from China; the cost of a chicken incubator runs from Sh15,000 to Sh20,000.

Farmers must also observe strict feeding diet with enough supplements including vitamins and proteins which make the birds grow bigger and faster. Most farmers believe quail eggs are rich in vitamins, proteins and antioxidants and are useful in the treatment of arthritis, diabetes, ulcers, hypertension, skin allergies among other ailments.

But according to a nutritionist at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital in Nakuru town, Ms Emmy Keitany, quail eggs are not special.

"There is no tested or scientific research so far to prove that eggs of a quail treats ailments such arthritis and hypertension," said Ms Keitany.

Ms Keitany also dismissed claims that quail eggs improve the CD4 cell count of HIV-positive patients.
 
Mkuu kwa Kenya nazani nisha toa maelezo ya Kutosha, kwamba wale wao wanapata Directly sapot ya KWS tofauti na huku, Huku Bongo tuko bise kujiuliza kama tuendelee na EAC au tuitoe, Kenya huwezi kuta wanazungumzia haya bali ni kazi tu, Nisha tembelea Wafugai kama watatu wanao fuga na mmoja wao ana export nje, so wao wako freshi na vibari wanapata bila shida,

hili jina la Tombo lina-originate kutoka wapi?, kwa maoni yangu quails hujulikana kwa jina la Kware hapa kwetu , ningeshauri tutumie jina hili (Kware) la asili ya hapa kwetu ili iwe rahisi kueleweka kwa jamii

i stand to be corrected

Ni kweli, uko sahihi. Tombo ni jina la Waswahili wa Sabahionline.com ambayo makala ya kwanza kwenye mjadala huu ilidurufiwa kutoka huko. Hapa kwetu, wengi wanawafahamu hawa ndege kwa jina la Kware! Ninaafiki kuliendeleza jina hilo.

Nashukuru kwa kuafiki

Kwa siku za mbeleni ufugaji huu utakuwa ni fursa kubwa sana hapa kwetu hii ni baada ya watu kuanza kutambua thamani ya virutubisho na afya iliyopo kwenye mayai ya kware na pia viability ya ufugaji wa kware kutokana na cost over benefit, pia mahitaji ya kenya tayari yameshakuwa makubwa kuliko uzalishaji hivyo watakimbilia Tanzania kchukua mayai
 
Jana tu katika kituo kimoja cha Televisheni Kenya K24 kipindi cha Alfajiri niliona mama mmoja anahojiwa kuhusu ufugaji huu wa Kwale, akasema sasa ana mapato makubwa sana kila mwezi kiasi kwamba kwa mtu anayeendesha biashara ya matatu hamfikii kabisa faida aipatayo mfuga kuku huyo na ni rahisi sana pia haina usumbufu. Nimefurahishwa na taratibu za utafiti wako tafadhali ukikamilisha hasa mchakato wa Bongo (TZ) hizo njia sahihi tujulishe mapema. wanajamii huu ni wakati wa kufanya fursa ikipatikana muda huo huo itumiwe. Nilihamasika sana na mahojiano ya mama huyo nilishaanza kufanya mpango wa kwenda Nairobi nikamtafuta ili nipate mayai. Lakini baada ya kupitia hapa katika Jamii Forum kumbe kwale hawa wanaweza kupatikana hapa hapa. naomba na ninatoa changamoto kwa wanajamii popote walipo hapa Tanzania wanaojua habari za ufugaji huu wajitokeze jamani watupe information za muhimu kufanya shughuli hii. Mimi niko tayari siyo siri na mtaji ninao naomba ushirikiano. Namaanisha kabisa Naomba Tafadhali! Tafadhali! wanajamii mwenye habari hizi anitaarifu hata kama kwa Private message kwa kadri ya njia inayowezekana.

Mwisho niwapongeze wanajamii kwa moyo wenu wa kupashana habari za msingi zenye kusaidia kupambana na mchakato wa maisha kadri Mungu anavyojulia kuishi hapa duniani. HONGERENI SANA NA UTARATIBU HUU UDUMU.
