from experience, how profitable is goat, pig and turkey farming
Re: Livestock Farming Biz ----- Cattle, Sheep, Goats And Turkey by GGfadar(m): 12:31am On Nov 05, 2015
Rearing Turkey organically is a process whereby u raise turkey in pen( deeplitter), and allow them to graze on a ranch/garden after giving them feed in d early hours of d day.
It actually reduces cost but from my experience, it reduces fat in turkey and makes them stronger and healthier which is prefered for human consumption.

peacemaranatha:
Well done op. Pls I have this question to ask. How can one rear turkey organically? We buy feeds for them and they are doing well or will the organic method makes them grow more and cut cost. Is there any disadvantages with this method pls I need information

First thing............
U can't raise a LAMB from December to next year sallah festival ( ILEYA ) and make profit at all.
Get rams dat r about 8months -- 1year old and raise ( FATTEN ) till next year sallah.

The 5 rams can consume 1 bag(50kg) of wheat offal, 1 bag(50kg) of dry cassava peel and 25kg of PKC all mixed together in a week.

The cost of feed will b lesser if there's enough pasture for them.

Cost of medication should be minimal if animals arrive farm in good condition.

A bag of wheat is about 2,500naira in my area and a bag of dry cassava peel in my area is 750naira/850naira.
PKC is 35naira per kilogram in my area.

I hope dis info helps

Nice information GGFadar, i stumbled on the agric tread and just discovered all the valuable conversations going on.

i am actually on the verge of starting a livestock farm mainly goat. i have about a fenced six plots of land ready for this project.

i want to know how much it will cost to raise goat kid from age 0-1yr. i also want to know how much a bag of goat feed costs to enable me make some informed decision.

i will highly appreciate your quick response.

thanks.

Yes, the females will graze and live together with the males...
There's nothing wrong with that except a female delivers a calf, then can be restricted for a certain period of time.

Concerning the land space you mentioned, its been extended truly. The other guy owns the plot.
