What is Poultry Farming?

Poultry farming is the raising of domesticated birds such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese, for the purpose of farming meat or eggs for personal consumption or for commercial purposes. In this post, we are going to be talking about Chicken farming as it is one of the most popular poultry birds.

How Profitable is Poultry Farming in Nigeria?

This business has proven to be one of the most profitable businesses in the Nigerian agriculture sector today. For these reasons:

The demand for poultry is rising every day due to Nigeria’s emerging economy, and the measured increase in the standard of living.
The ban on imported frozen poultry in Nigeria has created scarcity and an enormous demand that Nigerian farmers hardly meet. According to the Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) 1.2 million metric tons (MT) of frozen chicken valued at N660 billion was imported into Nigeria in 2014. The consumer market is massive such that we can have 10,000 more farmers and still not be able to meet local demand.
Healthier Meat. An increasing number of people are moving away from the consumption of red meat to white meat (the category chicken meat falls into) due to health worries.
Raising chickens for meat are a quick turnaround: in 10-12 weeks you can raise day-old chicks to edible size. This means a quick return on your investment. This means that you can do more than one batch of birds in a year.
Chicken egg is in higher demand than the meat.
