I love your spirit. Keep it up bro but do enough research on your marketing strategy, where your end products goes to. The above is one of the problem we often faced especially if you wanna cut off the middle men. Goodluck. |

Very good tips by Varela and Areafada...take them very seriously. For me... you don't have much space to run a big farm... you have neighbours that you would upset more with more stock..so I suggest you raise about 50 birds... and I suggest broilers. Instead of just killing them and selling them off...I suggest you add value to the meat by either selling it seasoned/spiced or cooked. But that depends on your location... if you're in village area...wouldn't work... got to be in a city area with people plenty like ants! |

There is no better time than now, its even better wen u dont have big capital cus the little money u wil invest now is not somtin that can ruin ur life, so if u start small u wil learn how to fall nd rise quickly. If its just 10 or 20 broilerz u can start wit start now. If space is d problm look for used tires nd start wit 20 to 50 snails cus one its chesper to raise nd expensive to buy so u wil make so much profit frm raising them nd guess wat u dont spend much to feed them cus they eat anytin vegetables whic u dont even av to buy pawpaw leaves nd left over foods but u must be careful wit dat cus too much salt in the food can kill them. They eat in a night only so u av time to do other thingd so jus come in evenin to giv them food. 2 Likes |

[REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START CHICKEN tosongolabeaty:POULTRY FARMING THIS YEAR ! Why Choose Poultry Farming? One of the reasons behind the dramatic rise of poultry farming in Nigeria is the non-dependence on educational background. Every citizen can practice the occupation, irrespective of his or her educational status. The profession can also be pursued with limited capital and resources, but huge return on investment is assured, if you are meticulous and diligent in how you set up and run your operations. Another reason for the rising success of this field is the growing rate of chickens. A chicken becomes fully-developed and matures quite faster. For instance, a goat takes a time span of 2-3 years to mature completely, but within 28 weeks from birth, a chicken can reach a fit state and size that it can be sold at market. Let’s take a deep look into the benefits of poultry farming in Nigeria 1. Reproduction Rate of Chickens: Business in Poultry Farming in Nigeria never leaves you bare handed because you never run out of stock. An average chicken hatches eggs almost every day and four times in a week. Some breed of chickens can produce around 325 eggs a year. By this account, your chickens will produce one egg a day that you can sell every day of the year. leaving out some dry days. If these figures are anything to go by, a chicken can give birth to another chicken twice in three days. Talking bigger, if you breed 500 layers, they will reproduce an astounding 12,000 chickens within a time gap of just 40 days. 2. Chickens Mature Faster: As discussed earlier, a baby chick becomes a full-grown, egg-bearing chicken in a jaw-dropping 28 weeks. This means a pullet is ready to be sold in market as a full-feathered chicken in just seven months. Taking into account such a fast-development process, a farmer can reap returns on investment within 34 weeks of the farm being in operation. 3. Large Markets: The demand for chicken never dies. In fact, it is always there and increasing. In Nigeria, a chest of smaller eggs is purchased for N500-N550, while the bigger ones demand an asking price of around N600-N650. A crate contains 30 eggs. Therefore, you will be receiving approximately N300,000 if you have 500 healthy chickens. 4. High Value, Good Price: Without a doubt! Raising your own flock of chicken will make you realize how lucrative poultry farming is in Nigeria. A customer in Nigeria can easily shell out N2000 – N2500 for a fertile layers chicken. Multiply the amount with the cost if you have 12000 layers in your farm. Now do you see how lucrative poultry farming is in Nigeria? An old layer chicken in Nigeria costs around N1000 to N1200. If you had 500 old layers, you can make up to N600,000 residual income. Then use this money to reinvest to buy a new younger and more fertile flock of layers chicken. Every 12 to 24 months you can continue this cycle for continued success. A 7-week broiler sells for N100.00 to N1200.00. A broiler aged 12 weeks and above will sell for N3000 to N4000. 4. A Rich Source of Protein: Poultry products are a tremendous source of protein, and a key nutrient for a healthy mind and body. Protein is essential for body functioning, energy and muscular development. Also, poultry products are delicious, great in taste and can be used in a range of Nigeria, African and worldwide dishes. For these reasons alone, it is safe to say that the demand for poultry products will never diminish. For me, poultry farming is the best bet if your considering entering the lucrative world of agriculture. Do you agree with the points that I’ve made in this post? Please share your thoughts and any experience you have had with poultry farming(thanks for reading and your comment #prophet_TOSIN_olabode)[/quote] U hav spoken more like a consultant than a farmer. I like ur courage nd interest in d business but bear in mind that agriculture is neva a one plu one business, so u must always prepare for a shock nd pls dont invest all u have into d business becuase of d uncertainty. Natural disaster can occure at anytime nd u must av somtin to fall back on to quickly rectify the problem. This is not to discourage u but to prepare ur mind for d future bcus i av over 15years expirence in d business of poultry nd dont let profit be d main reason while u are goin into d business but rada intrest, bcus profit mit not come as expected as u tink but wit zeal nd determinations u wil be successful in d business. |
