Thanks for sharing. But do you mean that every company just focus on 1 breed?
It is not easy to bteed more than one breeds, due to variations in adaptabilities.

Has all the noilers disappeared?
I can't find their chics.
Scarce due to high demand. People here in the North are breeding Noers now by themselves. They buy ftom Amo, and hatch their eggs. Once dey do that, they don't bother going back to Amo for a long while.

Hmmm... I remember my struggle with broiler farming in Bayelsa some years back... After all the efforts, selling was a problem.

The pictures of all the Broiler breeds would have helped a lot. From the description of the various breeds, it seems i won’t want to buy COBBS 500.

As a farmer I consider this as crap

Sayed and agrited aren't same at all, Sayed grows faster than agrited from week 1-5 but agrited surpasses them in the 6-7week.
Agrited grows magically, week 3-4 you'd wondering if they're even growing enough but week 5-7 you'll see magic growth as long as there's constant feeding.


The last set of Sayed I did had genetics problem, fatty liver. Still building experiences though but imagine out of 200birds about 15 specifically male birds died off on the fourth week due to fatty liver, I don dey fear them.
They are the same, just that Agrited produce Ross 308, while Sayeed produce Ross 305. From my wealth of experience, Ross 308 has a little edge above 305 in terms of growth or performances.

Of all the broilers breeds, ROSS is the best among them, follow by COBBS, ARBOR ACRE, MARSHALL, and lastly HUHBALD respectively.

The information is somehow misleading, you need practical knowledge to determine which breed you can easily manage. Cobbs from Olam farrn is the best broilers breed I ever come across in Nigeria.

That is the major problem small holder farmers usually face. Be it, poultry farming, crop farming whatever. It is the middle men that will reap what you did not reap. Unfortunately, most of the products are time barred. If you don't sell on time, wahala.

Poultry go give you depression if you no sabi
Hahahaha! I can relate. I've been there before. When your birds are sick or dying, depression go set in quick. There was a time I lost so many birds, I ran out of spots to Bury them in. That's why I just stuck with Noilers. I just never got lucky with Broilers, but that's where the money is.
Re: The 4 Broiler Breeds And The Ones That Grow Taller And Fatter In Shorter by brain54(m): 6:30pm On Oct 23, 2022
Abegi…




Return is not as high as the risk involved.
Especially for broilers…

Chai! Broilers sole purpose in this life is to chop. You fill up their feeders, go and pee, before you come back, they have finished the food. You will just be hearing, konk! Konk! Konk! Sound of their beaks on metal. They will just sit down by the feeder and keep eating till the food is finished... They can eat 20 hours out of 24 hours.

If they see light they ready to eat 24hrs sef…




The only time they will take a break is to drink water and theirs is ‘poo as you go’
But at least what they eat will show in their growth.
I like watching them eat. So I tend to over feed mine. I always feel sorry for them if they don’t have enough feed.
They are really born to eat… no caps!
