if you can take me thru to the first quoter of the lessons, I'll pay half, when I can get my first gig freelancing with it, you'll have 70% pay of my first job. I'm as 100% honest about this if it's possible and I don't mind giving 10% on every successful job
Do you have a laptop and what's the specs of your laptop? Let's start from there.

The best bet for you is to go through degree , your profession is not in demand over there, or look for a skill you can learn which is highly in demand.

Im a consultant and help people to set up farm professionally and train how go about it all and yes i can set it up. I am in lagos state and there is no where we dont go except north for now.. Before we can set it up we have to know the capacity of land both breath and wide of the land and how we can manage it. And i will ask some questions before we can set it up.


Johnboom:
Ok. What part of Nigeria do you stay? Do you help people to set it up? If yes how much would you cost me if you want to help me build that kind of set up for 200 broilers. You may drop it on my WhatsApp. 08032781837. Thanks.

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.

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.
Agriculture › Re: 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.
Agriculture › Re: 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.

how can one sell 4000+ old layers without using marketers
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.

Agriculture › Re: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 10:17am On Apr 15, 2023
How?? Some people dont have a customer base yet they do chicken in large quantity, you start small to build customer base, at the same time you go out to market not just sit at comfort of your home.

Wodu89:
It's the same thing. The marketers are exploiting the situation. Cold room o, frozen foods stores o. All of them are exploiting the situation
Agriculture › Re: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 9:57am On Apr 15, 2023
This is what i do and i sell over 1tones every two weeks, i dont deal with marketer, i walk straight to end buyers, cold rooms and frozen shops to market, you will be surprised how they will start calling and demanding from you.

jumper524:
bros it's no longer profitable again.
Marketers are exploiting farmers, people have loosed interest as many people now train it in their own house.
Thiis is what i do and marketer are not loosing interest, you need to strategize and dont do above your customer base, start small to build a customer base and you dont need a marketer to sell, go to cold room, and frozen people yourself and market it. Dont wait for a marketer to market for you.
Agriculture › Re: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 9:13am On Apr 15, 2023
Once chicken is 1.5kg is good to go, all you need to do is restrategized and turned it into frozen and sell. Frozen have a fixed price and if you use a good feed and get your chicks from a good hatchery, at 4weeks you should get 1.6-1.8kg but you need to feed day and night and the only feeds that can give you that is new hope or hendrix feeds




Peledonomy:
In uyo where I stay, the market is not like that. People that roast chicken by the roadside buy it live at that rate. If you don't sell to them, who will you sell to?
Agriculture › Re: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 9:02am On Apr 15, 2023
Now if you the one doing it yourself, i need you to answer this question??
Which feeds do you use??
Aside New Hope or Hendrix, all other feeds wont give you much result, topfeed is just trying but you see this hybrid its worst. Now mistake people do is they give broiler starter mash which it wont have any effect on the chicken. Give your broiler starter from a day old till 5weeks and then broiler finishe from 5th week till your ready to sell.
Agriculture › Re: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 8:57am On Apr 15, 2023
Peledonomy:
How please explain
First there is no way you will spend 2200 on a broiler for 6weeks and if you do then it means you must have been feeding it day and night non stop, if you feed a broiler non stop for six week you should get nothing less than 3kg unless its not a broiler from a good hatchery. Now from farm kilo is sold nothing less than #2,000. Let say 400grams was intestine and dirts, so your still left with atleast 2.5kg which you will sell nothing less that #4500 or #5,000.
Agriculture › Re: Broiler Business Is Bad Business by nickyvil: 8:41am On Apr 15, 2023
Peledonomy:
People are selling 6 weeks broilers for 2k and 2.5k. There is no profit na. It takes approximately #2200 to grow 1 broiler to table size at 6 weeks.
Your the one not getting it right.. Broiler is the most profitable of all.
