A very crude and unscientific way
of calculating feed intake..


There are feed consumption rate charts
for every type of chickens. These can
be found on the internet .

Day old chick price in my location is between 850/870 ...

The new hope broiler starter feed goes for 9500 per bag.

Your location is cool for the business

HOW TO CALCULATE THE BAGS OF FEED YOU WILL NEED TO RAISE 100 BROILERS YOU WANT TO SELL DURING CHRISTMAS TIME.

The question of how much feed per broiler chicken is a very interesting one that farmers should often ask.
And it is pretty wise to ask this question. To know how much feed per broiler chicken, is to know what it takes and the capital needed to raise the number of birds you have in mind.
This requires a sort of broiler chicken feed calculation. As a rule or guide,
a broiler will eat about twice the target weight in Kg you want them to have
Usually, it is a little over 2X the total body weight you want them to have before you sell them off.

. That is, if you desire your birds to have a 2 kg body weight within 5 weeks, you should be ready to use a little over 4kg of feed per bird within their 1st week to their 4th week.

For example, you have 100 broilers, and you want them to achieve 4Kg in 9 weeks, using
the 2x principle, you will need 2 x 4kg (of feed) per bird within that 9 weeks.

That is; 2 x 4Kg =8Kg which means you have to feed each of your birds a total of 8kg of feed within 9 weeks.

The total feed required for the 100 broilers will be
8kg feed per bird × the number of birds (100) =800Kg

Remember that a bag
Of feed is 25Kg.

Therefore; the total number of which is 800Kg divided by 25kg=32 bags of feeds.

This also means you will need 32bags of feed to raise 100 birds from week 1-week 9 to make them weigh atleast 4kg per bird in 9 weeks.

You can add 1 bag since most feed companies' measurements do not
read 25Kg after weighing them.
I hope the example gives you more understanding?

Broiler Production Tips
Price of day-old chicks
=₦500- #550[b]
[/b]Price of broiler starter= #9,000 (New Hope).
Broiler farming is all about the number of chickens you can raise and sell, therefore, the more the number of birds you can raise and sell, the higher the profit.

Your selling price varies depending on your target market and location.

A very important thing to consider is to have a cold room or partner with one and sell directly to consumers. Because middlemen e.g. market women can frustrate you
if you are not careful, and never sell your birds on credit. You didn’t raise them on credit, so don’t sell on credit unless you sign an MOU with the buyer

The bottom line is, broiler raising is very lucrative if you have buyers and sell at a good price. It is also a business of numbers, and the number of batches you can do in a year determines.

Just imagine that you have a deal of supplying 1000 or 2000 birds every 7 weeks constantly, trust me, within a year, you would have added a couple of zeros to your bank account.

Your price for Day old chicks is wrong. As at September 2022, Day Old Chicks were already sold for 750 naira - 800naira depending on the breed

This is old school calculation nah.

With original Agrited, Sayeed or Olam birds and New hope,/Hendrix feed, you can achieve over 2kg live weight with just 2.8kg - 3kg feed within 5 weeks.

If I wan go into this business how much I go need?

Op,is better u make the feed your self,with ur calculation if u need 800kg of feed for 100 birds,and 1 bag of 25kg of feed cost 9000naira and u need 32 bags, the total cost of feed we be 288,000naira.for me is too costly.u can get it cheaper if u make the feed urself with the advice of expert like us,because I'm into feed production.this is all u need to make a rich feed urself:. To get that 800kg All u need is 500kg of corn,250kg of soya bean,50kg of concentrate(Hendrix or breed well).all this we not cost u more than 250,000naira.if u are in Enugu u can contact me @ odegba new market Enugu, Enugu state.call:09038000909 or 08029559629

The demand for broilers is mostly during festive seasons especially the yuletide, apart from that, the market is not readily there, I have broilers I breed but for my own consumption, it's a kind of backyard poultry but I have not even seen any neighbour that's serious enough to ask me if am to sell and for which amount, because I live in a low income neighbourhood, it will not be affordable for struggling families so I don't bother to put my chickens for sale.

I'm in the business of poultry. While OP may not be far from the truth, I'll advise that any intending investor in poultry first learn the rudiments of the business. Yes you can make good profit but the margin for losses are significant.
Thread with caution.

Poultry isn’t a good business,99% of them always run down at some point,only if the owner has other business to keep funding it anytime there is a crisis
So anyone who want to venture into poultry should make sure it’s not the the only source of income other he should prepare to go bankrupt at some point.

yuzjet:
Very educative peace. Thanks OP!

Too bad my broilers for December were all killed by soldier ants in August.

My pen was invaded by those monstrous ants and those little two weeks old broilers and turks were dismembered.

But still, will try again next year.

That's something you should expect when raising birds
Good luck on your next try
This time around just pour coal tar round the cage soldier ants can't get through that....my humble $0.2

Great. Thank you and God bless you

Op .based on what you wrote here , It thus means a farmer only makes N37,000 profit per 100 birds in 9weeks of toiling. And you call that lucrative ?

Pls where is your location and how do i get turkey from you as from 4 wks old

Can you share your location

If you will do Poultry, take this advice from my experience. Be very careful especially in the first 10 days of the bird life cycle. Young Birds need constant source of heat 24hrs.

ViceGovernor:

That's something you should expect when raising birds
Good luck on your next try
This time around just pour coal tar round the cage soldier ants can't get through that....my humble $0.2

Those chicks and turks were still in the brooding pen, not in cage yet. Hence, the invasion.

Thank you anyway.

Thanks bro
