Premium duck feed supplement Australia

With a concern for food security that extends beyond supply, Christopher Salmon has spent the better part of the last two years developing products that he believes will not only lower the cost of inputs for his fellow farmers, but also produce healthier livestock for consumption.

The 35-year-old journeyman electrician-turned-farmer operates Niyah’s Poultry Farm and Food Processing Center, along with his business partners in St James, where he rears chickens, ducks, pigs and goats. It was here that he began research on organic animal feed and would eventually start the process to create his own.

When the Jamaica Observer asked what he has developed, Salmon quipped, “I could tell you where it started first.

“I took a course in botany in 2019 and became very interested in plant biology because of the natural healing attributes I found in many different species of plants,” he explained, adding that he also took a course in ecology.

By combining the information he got from his classes and applying them to his farming operation, Salmon developed a natural, plant-based, whole grain, herbal food supplement, and liquid elixir — none of which, he said, contains hormones or antibiotics. Rich in probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, the products are safe for all livestock animals.

“We have designed the products for several reasons, including lowering the bacterial pathogens in farmers’ livestock… we are also focused on reducing carbon output by using natural feed,” the young farmer pointed out.

“Also we are reducing prices for farmers on poultry food because our food can be doubled. We have a process that could take one pound and turn it into two pounds; therefore, we are able to lower the price on farmers,” he stressed.

Currently, it costs Niyah’s Poultry Farm between US$15 and US$20 to produce one bag of feed. So far, Salmon said he has invested $400,000 in the product development process, along with funding from his business partners.

What’s more, Salmon said animals reduce their intake of the feed, as well as excretion of waste, after consuming it for a period of three to four weeks. After four weeks, he feeds the animals once a day.

When quizzed about the specific ingredients used in the products he has developed, Salmon informed Business Observer that he could not divulge that information since he is now in the process of securing international patents and copyright protection for the formulae through a company in Texas, USA — a process that should take 90 days. But he also guarantees that farmers, based on visuals, can determine the organic nature of the feed, supplement, and elixir.
