Ostrich Farming In Nigeria
« on: August 16, 2007, 11:38 AM »


Does anyone know about ostrich farming as in Nigeria?. I understand  there are only about 7 of such farms in the whole of Nigeria and similarly in Ghana. I have got some figures from a research i`m conducting at the moment as below and if it turns out they are reasonable i don't think its an oppotunity to be sniffed at. I would appreciate your contributions. Refer to the paragraphs below

Each fertile egg is sold for between $400-$500 in Europe and America. Then if the egg is hatched, (which is between 42 to 45 days) the young bird is sold for about $1, 000. If the bird is about one year old it sells for between $2, 500-$3, 000, but if the investor wants to sell an old bird that has started laying eggs especially female bird, it can go for as much as $9, 000-$12, 000. The project actually is for middle class entrepreneurs. With a little over a million naira an investor can go into this venture. Apart from the meat, which is very low in cholesterol, it is rich in protein. It is also excellent for hypertensive patients and for those watching weight. The feathers are bought for decoration, while the skin is highly priced for ostentatious leather works.

Apart from the above needs, Ostrich is an animal of unique feature and this makes it highly tradable for tourist uses. Various zoos across the world demand Ostrich for tourist needs.

Yeah i have been to your website and i must say i`m impressed. Are you working on a kind of feasibility study or report? if that`s the case how do i get access to the outcome of the research. I`m seriously looking into agro-based business an alternative investment vehicle so i would like to get in touch with you. You have the consultancy skills i think i will find very useful so i will be getting in touch soon
