It's still very much in my mind. Let me just give you guys a summary of the porofit:
1. Feed intake per day: 66.5kg
..
2. Cost per kg of feed = N2350/25kg = N94/kg
..
3. Feed cost per day = 66.5kg x 94=N6251/day.
..
4. Average no. Of crates per day is 14 crates.
..
5. Average price per crate is N600.
..
6. Gross Profit per day = N600x14 crates = N8400.
..
7. Net profit is N2149 per day.
..
N.B. Cost of routine lasota vaccination (N720 every 6 wks or less), antibiotic preventive dose, water, multivit etc not included. They're small though.


Considering the fact that these birds were fed until they started laying, would you consider the profit margin satisfactory? I'm of the opinion that the first 3 - 4 months of egg laying would be used to cover for the running costs from DOC to POL.
With that in mind, I don't see the lucrative nature of the business except that one is walking a very thin rope.

Where do you get the data from? In my case I can't really tell because shortly after they reach peak a disease struck them. Profit plunged and expense (lab test and drugs) skyrocketed. This is my first trial and I have learnt my lessons. It won't happen next time.

Don't mix anything with the starter and dont vaccinate yet. Treat with tylodox and multivit. Vaccinate 3 days after treatment is completed.

Sounds very nice!,please where do you sell your eggs!,if a medium goes for 600,it's a great deal.Marketing poultry products is a major worry,customers insist on buying on credit,and keep owning you,could be frustrating at times,would appreciate it if you give me a clue as to find a way out sir
Re: My Poultry Farm by FarmTech(m): 9:09pm On May 21, 2015
I sell to wholesellers and street shops. They come to buy from the farm cash and carry. Though one whole seller is owing us over 30k.
