Good day salami,really amazed at the fact that you stated that one can start a broiler farm with 49k?.please am not trying to run u down but please don't misinform people. For a start in the brooding room,is it only stove and charcoal that one needs?what about the nylon that are needed to retain heat and also shield the birds from adverse weather? So housing is easy like that?I didn't see your estimates for woods (different types ), nails and zinc? Viz a Viz their current prices in the market.
Tasho please go and make your own findings else u will regret it. I just set up a Poultry farm housing 600 layers and 150 broilers so I know that u can't start with that amount

Thank u for your response. It is important that u read the piece again. You will see that the estimate was on production cost only. The housing was mentioned towards the end of the write up. I didn't go into details on that but it is common sense that one knows chickens would be housed. One can build a housing comfortable for 100doc for 15-20k and thats including the nylon u mentioned. Before u say no to dt again. I have set up farms recently for 2 persons on that range. The same house can be used for brooding and growing of chickens. The housing cost is considered on a long term since u did keep using it for years. One doesn't also need all new materials to build it. Most of the other cost is mainly on feeds and I have explained that part. If u can make ur feeds u'd save cost on production. I am telling u ds cos I too am running a 700 broiler farm and have been in this biz for over 2yrs now. I started from 50 broilers and hv grown. We don't need to scare people away from doing sth every time a biz is mentioned people keep calling capital. I repeat, any1 with 49k can start a poultry farm and grow it big into sth impossible. I did it and any1 can
Thank u

Good job bro...starting with 150 birds on Friday with your analysis as a guide.
Pls do you have a reliable feed formula for starter and finisher?

Yes. In fact I have written an eBook. A complete guide on how to make any poultry feed type for broilers, layers and Turkeys. It cost only #5,000. You will also get an online further guide and coaching for the same price. Watsapp me on 09071827982

This has been helpful. I grew up taking care of the poultry for my mum and have now picked interest setting-up one at my backyard

Welcome on board already

How much would it cost me to start a Broiler Farm?

This is the question I get asked every time. The truth is this, lots of persons wants to go into poultry business but they fear a lot of things. Some of these fears include:
- those guys(chickens) can die!
- the capital required is too high
- how do I even sell those idiots?
Lols!
You see, you can never start a business staying far off. You need interest and some little faith to risk something.

All of the above are not in all true. It is easy to start and its damn cheap too.

There a lot of things that add to cost of raising birds and it start from day one.
If u don't handle things smartly u will make a lot of unnecessary expenses

1. First thing u need to do is to make sure that you are buying your doc directly from d farm. Its way cheaper that way. Those individuals you book with add their own interest you know. Get at least 2-3 reliable farms you can work with and keep in touch with their doc prices. This way you get to knw what they are selling at every time. Personally I have studied the thing. I know exactly when prices ar very low and high. So I buy more when they are very low
Let's use agrited to do an estimate. Doc sold at 180 yesterday (Mon. 17th July) 100 doc will cost 18,000 plus a #10 tp per chick which is #1000. Total cost of doc #19,000

2. You will need to prepare d brooding space. Things required include:
a. Wood shaving - 400 for a bag. You need 1 bag. If its free at your place then you're lucky.
b. Heat source- use charcoal stove. 1 bag of charcoal is 1200 here. Use half bag. Dts 600

3. Usually 4 vaccines are needed within 4 weeks of your doc. 2 of Gomboro and 2 of lasota. If you administer the first 2 properly you don't need to do the rest again unless where you find them not agile
So here we will use 2

Lasota - 100dose 600
Gomboro- 100 dose 1000

4. Other things u need are drugs and vitamins. You will need antibiotics, vitamin, coccidostat plus any other one if u observe any problem with your chicken.
Of course there are other additives if you like

So,
Antibiotics- 600-1200 depending on the type
Antiviral- 500
Vitamin-800
Coccidostat- 400

5. Feeding is the major activity in the farm and it usually takes most of the cost in production.
First thing u need here is to make sure u buy or make ur feeds in bulk. This way, you save a lot on transportation.
Current Prices of feeds in my area:

a. Top feeds -4000- 4200
b. Hybrid- 3600-3650
c. Livestock feeds-3800-3900
d. Sunseed-3650-3700
There are others

You will need about 12 bags of feeds for 8 weeks period.
Let's use the least of the above feeds.
Hybrid- 3650 *4 (starter)=#14,600
Finisher-3600*8=28,800
Total- #43,400

But if u are making your own feed. You will spend #26,000-30,000
The range is dependent on the following:
a. Your target market
b. How much you're able to learn from what I can teach you. The first time you save 15%, as you progress and master the skills 20-30% plus
c. Cost of feed ingredients in your area

Difference in price of company processed feeds and your feeds.
43,400 - 26,000=#17400
43,400 - 30,000=#13,400
* Feeds get stale after 1 month and decrease in quality.
* make feeds in bulk to save cost on transportation. 4 bags will last u first 4 weeks. Then the remaining 8bags the nxt 4 weeks
* Making your feeds puts you in charge of the nutrition your chickens get, save you cost, and helps you get better results in terms of weight and egg at even lesser time

Cost summary:
a. Doc- 19,000
b. Wood shaving-400
c. Charcoal-600
d. Vaccines-1,600
e. Drugs/Vit-2,300
*f. Company made feeds-43,400
g. Your own feed-26,000
*Transportation cost of feeds -1,500
Total -#49,900
*omitted in Total

What I have just shown you is the production cost of raising 100 Broilers.
You also need a housing for your chickens. That's easy to do. Get a carpenter friend for a brother price to build one.
Start right at your back yard and grow big.

Remember, All you need to start that farm is only #49,900


Now, pulse!
I hear someone asking about profit.
Imagine selling a chicken at just #1,000
Punch your calculator. Try multiplying by 600 birds.
Oh! sorry u were supposed to multiply by 100

Stop idleness! Go start farming!

Good luck

Nice one

thanks

To whom it may concern

I do a lot of things to make ends meet but you see "farming'? Its something I have come to realise will stay with me for a very long time. Not only am I consumed by the various opportunities it present but also have I realised that it is the African heritage. The opportunities in that sector alone can set africa free from stains of poverty its known for and Nigeria has a major part to play in it. God blessed us with fertile lands and rich resource in both plants and animals for a reason. Imagine we add technology to it.

I was going through my records and found that as at 2015 a Mudu of corn was sold at #100-150. Today the same Mudu is sold for #300-350. A lot of people see a problem in this but I don't. In fact Here is what I have to say, the problem is the opportunity! Look again!

Except for inorganic fertilizers (the organic are better and safer by the way) we do not import any other thing. Okay may be the machines which are necessary for mechanised farming. We don't import the seeds or lands and they are the major factors needed. God already did his part with the weather. We don't need to exchange any country's currency to farm. What the rise in price shows some of us are these:
a. Farmers are gaining more relevance
b. More profit
Okay those 2 are enough for now.
Some of the very interesting things about farming are:
- its diversity in both crop and animal farming
- how easy it is to start even if you don't know how to use a hoe/cutlass
- any one can start with small capital and grow it into something impossible
- the unending demand for farm produce. Even a dying man still eat!

As I said before you don't need to know how to use a cutlass to farm. You only need a sense! There are people with the strength and skills you need. Leverage on them. You can also rent plots for this purpose at cheap rates.

So many get discouraged starting businesses because of capital. Well there's good news! You can start a small farm with less than #15,000 depending on your location.

If you are interested in poultry farming it is also very possible to run a production cost of #50,000 for 100 broilers. I have practically run a farm of 350 broilers on production cost of #130,000 within 8 weeks and 700 broilers at #290,000 within same period. These things are real I have been doing this for over 2 years now. You only need sense!

I understand that everybody can't go into farming. I mean who will do the other things? However, if you have nothing doing at the moment you can join in. Don't be idle doing nothing

Truth be told. Dropshipping business or ecommerce business require more than #15k.

If you really want to make money with e-commerce without spending money bro you will lose out all you need are

- eCommerce store
- domain name and hosting
- Dropshipping source
- adverts fee

But if you are lazy I develop eCommerce site at a cheap rate.

You are right except that one can actually start the importation business itself in a little way den grow to e commerce shop or anything else for that matter.
One can also use catalogue of products he has chosen, show to friends, they pay on trust or even half and he orders.
My point is, there is always a way to start small. Instead of people waiting and dying to have huge capital before they start doing business, they should just start any way.

Am glad u ar following and encourage people to patronise u.

Peace
