Should I Start Poultry Farm In My Compound by Jewman4you: 10:15am On Jan 27, 2023 |
Greetings Agriclanders I'm planning to start a poultry farm in my compound. The size of the poultry will be 35ft by 17 ft on both sides. That is averagely 55 square metres in my compound. The size of the land is 50f by 100ft. I was able to build one storey building when things where good in the compound. I have neighbours on both sides of my compound, though the place is still a developing area in portharcourt. The building only occupied one third of the compound, so i still have enough space the occupy poultry house. Now the challenge is, is it possible to do poultry in the compound without having issues with poultry smell that will disturb me and my neighbours. And what is the best way of going about it. I plan to do an average of 150 to 200 birds at a time and sell of every six week. Please I need advice. Thanks |

If you are not financially buoyant don’t invest in poultry rather go for ram , goat and cow they will fetch you good money Chicken will continue to feed ,the more you feed them the bigger their eggs and their feed is now expensive Marketers will always price your product down ,you either make no profit or little but cow ,goat and cow feed on grasses and they are economical Presently asun goat now cost 15,000 Ram 70,000 Cow 500,000 |

Jewman4you: Its going to be a good venture But the problem of foul poo smell will occur if you have Broilers The poo round the clock and it use to be wet Do more of turkey, I love rearing them in my compound, they have good chances of survival and eat normal Then you are can add Noilers but they eat well too The worst is Broilers, they eat steady and poo steady but you will like the progress of their growth but be ready to be sweeping their poo every morning |

Poultry and that kind of housing arrangement do not combine well. From theft, poisoning, attacks to quarrel, the output isn't always the best. This link talks about yam in sack farming. https://www.nairaland.com/7471140/amazing-output-yam-in-sack-farming-pictures |

Jewman4you: Is your choice to determine if it's for commercial or private Mine is for private use especially for Christmas In your own case, people buy turkeys for festivals You can still add chicken But I will still suggest you try all of them and decide on what to settle for base on your experience in all |
