Patmaella Agencies Ltd was established as an Agribusiness to deal with Pig Keeping for both breeding and Pork, Poultry, Organic Vegetable and Mushroom Farming. This has been ongoing for the past 3 years. However, venture was legally registered on 25th February 2022 as a Private Limited Company between Eglyne Chepchirchir and Patrick Kipkosgei.
We pride ourselves as a reliable supplier of Pork, Eggs, Chicken, Vegetables, Mushrooms and Black Soldier Fly Larvae, which has low work-load, the production of the BSFL leads to an eventual decrease in feed costs, since the production of the larvae is cheaper than buying omena and/or soy. BSFL further reduces the growth of Pigs to 4.5 months instead of 7 months, and the meat is of higher quality. For layer hens, their laying period extends which leads to an average increase of 62% more eggs. The eggs have thicker shells and the yolk is more yellow. The BSFL are ferocious feeders, and are able to convert organic waste to protein (from between 35% – 50%) and fat.
