Parent stocks Explained

Generally parent stocks birds are raised by farmers who have the intention of hatching their eggs by themselves using a hatchery or a third party hatchery service.
In raising them you have to introduce a specific amount of male birds amongst the female population for mating and subsequently fertilization to occur in the female birds.
To start with you as well have to first purchase the parent stock birds at the rates which are higher than the commercial day old chicks that we purchase from most common hatcheries. One thing is that the parent stock D.O.C are not as common to get as the commercial D.O.C because it is only farms that raise Grand Parent Stock breeds that do sell them and that is if they are into the business of selling Parent stock breeds.
While raising them, I want to emphasize that their vaccination programme is far more complex and expensive than the conventional commercial bird
If you really want to go into raising the Parent stock and want to purchase them their rates differ from one breeder farm to the other and may be between #700 to #850, where i know they sell it at the rate of #750 for the layer breeds.(isa and nera)

Do u use d north guys b4 now? The one he got is from Taraba side.

I wouldn't mind adding cows if I get good ones . If wishes were horses.

Am still trying to resolve d land issue. My friend /seller is cooperating now. We just did another survey . I just pray I don't have any other issue after this.

The estates that bought land around there have graded the road and plotted theirs. One abakaliki farmer has farmed again this season on d land (mine). The guy said he didn't know it has been sold. I just collected his phone no. I may give him 3months to harvest his maize and ugu but I can't wait for d yam and cassava, it has to go.
I was planning to use caterpillar to grade d land BT as d man don farm, na to do fence wit d farm inside.

Abeg, make I go look for money to pay d surveyor, land rites , fence ten plots and dig big drainage. I know God can do it.

Activities in my farm will likely take off next year.

My fear for tarpaulins pond is rodents. Nkapi to be precise.

ibl0010:
To the people who suggested piggery as oppose to poultry, does this mean poultry layers or broilers are less profitable than piggery. Likewise, is poultry more risky in terms of mortality, disease etc than piggery.

Tarpauline pond my colleague built for their retiring parents. It think it was built in new MKT road.

Bilabong:
constructing a poultry isn't expensive. Lets say hundred thousand or little more.

I have nothing to gain in discouraging him, I am a farmer too, I am sharing with u factual market information. It's best to work with accurate figures than numbers you cooked up in your fantasies. Chicken selling Market women sells their chicken at about N1500 to N2000 depending on size, they buy at very low prices of N800 to N1000, and many times you have to be the one to take it to their locations. go to shoprite or any other chain supermarkets and find out how much they buy processed Broiler chicken from farmers. business is not about sentiments or emotion, it is about reality !!
