ObiaboAdoka:
Tiger hunt alone while lion hunt in pride. Lioness are d power of a lion.
This is where most people make mistakes, male lions are build for fight not to hunt. They are more stronger and the beast even Tigers don't dare them, this has already put to test and Male lion comes on top. Now grizzly bear that do run away from mountain lion will now have the courage to stay and fight the real king of the jungle.

A big fat lie, never and never underrate Lion, they are build for fight, but Tigers are build to survive. Close encounters, Lion have higher chances to win cos the tiger don't fight to die but to survive so he will surely goes for what it can prey on.

Starboytwo:
many people underrate the Tiger so much. I don’t know why to be honest.

A full grown Siberian Tiger will destroy any lion of its size.

Even if it's venomous you relocate it to a safe place.
I didn't kill it, before I could get it out of the net, it's head already stocked and won't make it. I've relocated some in the past to a safe place even carbon viper. Check the body, you will see it's smooth.

AgricultureSnake Trapped And Caught In My Farm Bathroom By Me. by nickyvil(op):
I was in my farm, I have a building in the farm and stay there whenever I'm in the farm, yesterday evening, I decided to use the bathroom and saw this spotted green snake, he quickly made it to the bathtub hole. I notice I can't find the bathtub stopper, calmly I use a cloth to blocked it first and went to make wire mesh trap for the snake. Watch the video and you will see step by step how the trapped caught the snake. I cooked grind chilling pepper and poor it into the hole cos snake hate the smell and after effects.

Like i said, it all depend on you and how you market your product. I do go to cold room, frozen store, i market online, jiji, etc and i do street marketing too so there are always demand and market for me but i dont know about others.

That's why I love threads like this. We can always get information for improvement.
AgricultureRe: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 12:30pm On Apr 19, 2023
Now let me answer to this , here new hope is 10,650 and top field, is #8,500 let's leave the price, selling agrited at 2700 to 3200 at 5weeks is okay. Im okay if at the end of the day i make profit even if its small but continuously so i always have target when to stop feeding and sell cos from a day old till 2weeks plus dont dont eat much and 3weeks to 4weeks they start eating but from 4weeks upwards, they eat heavily so i try my best and plan ahead. It is a lost if someone keep making feeds cos at broilers grow, their appetite increases, its all about calculations and i do mine very well and cut unnecessary spending.


staga:
First, thanks for your input.

But please, it is always good to do the Maths. New Hope is 11,500. Top Feed is 8,700 to 9,000, depending on where you buy. The cost of Gumboro vaccine has nearly doubled from 6 months ago. By the time you factor in all costs (feed, vaccines, drugs, mortalities especially during the heat season like now, wood shavings, brooding paper, salaries, cost of fuel to power your borehole, etc), you will get nearly N2,800 or even N3,000 as raising cost for a typical Ross 308 broiler. The market people will come to price the live birds very low (some as low as N2,700).

So wherein lies the profit if you use feed that is N9,000 and above, except you have up to 1000 birds where you can say your profits may be N300,000 if you sell to those in the market at N300 gain per chicken?

Also, how much do the cold rooms charge per kg? So you find out that it is a continuous balancing act for the farmer and many a time, compensating with formulated feed is really the only way out.
AgricultureRe: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 12:18pm On Apr 19, 2023
Let me first talk about brooding, i don't use sawdust or brooding paper all through, below is the system i use all through, at first week to 2-3weeks i use brooding cage:

So with this i hardly have mortalities, about the drugs, everybody have a way of going about it so i wont talk much on the drug.

And this is Agrited at 6weeks attach pics and video

Thats first alternative, another way if its not in the festive season, just book for agrited and breed for 5weeks which you will feed day and night for 4weeks by then they will be over 1kg and the 4th to 5th week just give finisher. That is another alternative, when you breed for long that is when the cost will be higher. This you will use exclusive new hope feed. Extra starter(510) yellow bag, starter 511 you will see the weeks there.

Now for the frozen aspect, when you feed day and night, just go for agrited and feed for 6weeks. You will get 3.5- 4kg and your good to go.

Now you know medication, booster and all is important. You do things appropritely


staga:
It costs N2,700 to N2,800 to raise a broiler. I challenge you to provide facts and figures and I will show you mine.

Most market people come pricing them for N3,000 or N3,300. You only make the money selling to those buying it per kg, in which case you have to keep your birds for at least 8 weeks to attain 4kg, so that when you slaughter, you can get 2.5kg killed weight which gives you anything from N4,000 to N5,000 per bird. You make the most money if you open a joint where you sell fried or roasted chicken with rice, or you do shawarma.

You cannot sell in the open market unless you get a shop, join the union and spend other initial money to get yourself an established retail outlet. Also, sales are seasonal. Easter coincided with Eid-El-Fitri in the same month this year. Then there is the Eid-El-Kabir and also Christmas later in the year.

I own a broiler farm so I speak with loads of experience. I also have land where I farm maize twice a year using the 50-day variety. This cuts my feed costs during the rainy season, considering that a kilo of maize (60% of the constituent of chicken feed) is now N245.
AgricultureRe: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 11:17am On Apr 19, 2023
This is where you mixing things up, first im a vet surgeon and at the same time i have more than 10 top farms i consult for cos its my job. I have a broiler farm and every week i rear atleast 200 broiler to six or 8weeks depending on hatchery farm. Now Agrited breed Ross while Chi breed AA+ and the different is Agrited pick from the start while CHI pick but are excellent for 8weeks cos of the pace they attain weight from 6 to 8weeks but i get that 4kg within 6weeks in agrited. Now let me explain and enlighten you, the first mistake is to mixed feed for yourself cos the cos of quality feed is even higher than buying feed from the market, secondly im not a seasonal farmer but i advice people as a seasonal farmer to apply wisdom.
Let me start by seasonal farmer, now as a season farmer all you need to do is from a day old to 4weeks give them necessary feed, better you start with new hope to bring out there future then if possible feed them day and night for 2weeks. After 4 weeks change to top field finisher and feed them during the day alone for another 4weeks. You dont need weight here. But the futures will come out well. If you give hybrid or feed you make it wont grow cos all this company always subsidize their price.

About layers, price and mode of your communication with your client matter. Now for you to have 4000 spent layers, it means you have transport to move your egg up and down and you already established customer, now tell your customer, go to market and talk to people that sells chicken and lastly beat your price down and do a direct radio station advert.
