Turkeys are one of the easiest animals to manage, rear and control. Turkeys are even often used to compare humans that are sheepish, indecisive or not strong enough. That aside, Turkey farming in Nigeria is a very lucrative business. It is in fact one way that you can make a whole lot of money from poultry keeping. Like a few other agricultural products, Nigeria imports a large chunk of the generally consumed frozen turkey from the capital of Benin Republic – Cotonou; until the federal government placed a ban on the act. The ban does not only ensure a better safety measure, it blows open the market for Turkey farming in Nigeria.There are a few guidelines to rearing turkeys and this post would in a way guide you through the basics. If you intend on starting a turkey farm any time soon, you just might have stumbled across the necessary push and vital piece of information needed to kick-start your business. The first and foremost thing you need to have at the back of your mind is that in this same Nigeria, there are millionaire turkey farmers. Now, let’s checkout how to start and run a profitable turkey farming business in Nigeria.
Of all fowls, Turkeys are the fastest growing and one of the most demanded ones in the market. There a lot of people who will choose turkey meat over any other kind of meat any time any day, especially people who no longer have the strength to grind and tear goat meat, cow meat, bush meat and so on. Turkey meat is a sumptuous option for many people who do not really want to leave the meat eating category.Asides from the meat, turkeys are also one of the most feathered birds and their feathers, fertilized eggs; even their droppings are all marketable. Frozen Turkey tops the frozen foods list, and it’s readily available for purchase in frozen food stores all over the country but the availability is always undermined by the demand for it. Even though turkeys are easy to rear, they need watchful eyes as they are most times, not as strong as they look.Turkey rearing can be a little bit technical, as it starts from day old. The day olds are normally kept in a brooder house under normal room temperature for about 5 weeks; during which they grow and mature enough to be separated. Then the birds are separated into different houses. The females grow a little bit slower than the males and are kept in one house, while the males that are fast growers are kept in another house. They may be there till their full maturity stage, which is usually 20 weeks, after which they may either be sold for money or allowed to mate and prepare them for the production of eggs.
