However, the projection of the costs and returns of broiler production in Nigeria can be practically be unactualized, actualized even more so surprising, depending on the management of the broiler as with every other livestock. These principles are vital to provide a bankable business plan for an investor for broiler production.

A bag of starter feed cost about 3850which amounts to 152naira excluding transportation fare so make ur calculations based on that price

Op am not disputing the during festive periods u can sell 2kg broilers for 2000naira and above and dat depends on the area u , if u are producing round the year were u have middle men u come to buy in bulk and resell in d market your selling price will b between 1100-1500 naira and the depends on ur bargaining power, if u are into supply of frozen bird eateries and hotels u sell per kg dressed weight.a kg goes btw 700 & 800naira depending on who u are supplying and 2kg live weight broiler will give btw 1.3 or 1.4kg after dressing so do the math u end up selling a bird for 1600 maximum if u are into supplies do ur market survey well don't misinform an investor that wants to invest in broiler business my two cent though

Make i buy petrol first before i chop chicken. E no easy since morning for here oooo. Even at 270 per litre.

G

following,

Someone do something, Fuel is 270 per litre in my area

270?? My side it was 230 per litre

You are just beating around the bush op.
Practicals speaks louder than theory.

My advice to anyone going into broiler farming is that you should only start when you have a cold room​ where you can store and sell directly to customers instead of relying on middle men. They will frustrate you because they know you must sell the chickens or you must keep feeding them.

Ok

hmmmm is it by force to chop chiken??

Nice analysis, the difference between this speculation and the obtainable is the reality, farming is beyond all these. If government isn't serious about agriculture there's no way you can make a head way. I used to be like the OP, i learnt the hard way.

Ok

Very easy to breakdown on paper. When it comes to the real thing, so many factors come into play.

Nice write up OP. I always have passion for livestock keeping.
Anyway as pointed above the selling price is unrealistic. That's how I saw a federal government agency on skill acquisition giving selling price of catfish at N900 per KG.
If you base your study on that kind of high selling cost which is mostly realizable by those selling small amounts directly to consumers, you are likely to fail.

#350 @ black market here in Ilorin (maraba)

Abeg anyone don see Ymodulus end of the year thread.

@op, what you wrote is the ideal, what is out there is the reality/actual, the market is not the same with your writeup, except your buyers are in lekki and ph.
