But how did a 500000 poultry farm ran at a loss that it was not able to by feed

I dey Oman. Dem no poor bro.

lazkizz:
Why not just free them to the masses

And watch how human will still cannibalised them in a curry/tyme way .

Wrong decision for a country were 27% of the population goes to bed hungry.

Last time naso I hear say Canada throwway thousands liters of milk. Cause dairy 🐄 farmers have meeet up with the national quota.

Why not just Dash poor countries like Somalia, India, Bulgaria, Oman, Guatemala, Cape Verde, Sudan, Libya, Rwanda, Burkina Faso etc this milk and chickens.

Why??

You could have fed them water Hyacinth or fermented Weeds

Do you know what it takes to feed almost a million chicken? This is not your average 1000 birds farm. This is massive.

If you have ever managed a poultry you will know how. Those animals eat non stop...so long as there is light.

Not as simple as that...milk is perishable. And it will cost you a lot to preserve and ship it to those poor countries you mentioned. As for the chickens, they were not table size yet and so cannot be fed to humans.

They've embezzled the money meant for feed abi? How do you leave chickens unfed for a week?

They have pursued the whites that made the country work...

AcrossUNIVERSE:
In Cooks island, people catch chickens just like we catch normal birds here. They belong to no one

South Africa could have tried this, let the chickens roam free

and they can feed themselves too

VaginaAcademic:
and they can feed themselves too

Oman isnt a poor country

Hezzyluv:
"Euthanized"

No be only me, even you see am too no just pretend

No be everybody be Olodo like you.

When chickens are scarce in Nigeria.

Debeaking would've prevented them from killing themselves to some large extent.

Hmmmmm

Where that samantha (Jollofina) make she come comment

cucumbar:

I heard you prof

This company is wicked n not profit oriented
They could have sold off those chickens to the women who sells chickens to people who rear them n eventually sell them at maturity.
It’s just sheer wickedness.
A full grown broiler is sold between 100rand to 130rand.
It’s cheaper if it’s reared by individuals who just want to make extra income by investing into rearing day old broilers or 1 month old.
They sell btw 70 to 80 rand

It was easier to use few employees to leave Water hyacinth and drums of water in their Barns than killing them all


In fact if hose pipe had been used to water the sawdust and manure under their feet it would have produced enough maggots and bugs for them to survive on

A man in this very forum went somewhere and something that was beyond his power delayed for about 2 days and so was unable to get back to his poultry on time .

On getting back home he expected some of his poultry birds to be dead , he said instead they didn't even miss him or notice his absence because after having more than enough water they were picking through the sawdust and eating all the insects underneath it !!


Another Kenyan said he had no money left to feed his poultry birds and he decided that instead of leaving them to starve and perish he would release them into the fields just to give some of them a chance to live he said but they were all coming back in the evening and after over a week he noticed that they hadn't lost any weight.


He then followed them to find out what they were eating that was keeping them alive and healthy.
He now discovered that his entire poultry herd had all been following the local Chickens in the area to go to eat the Water hyacinth and other weeds at the side of the river and that was what kept them fat and healthy

That was how he started his Water Hyacinth chicken feed business

When a greedy person entered poultry business, the result will be obvious.

I mean do you know what it takes to feed just 10k birds alone? Not to talk of 300k plus.

Lol. Anyway the have learnt there lesson, though it is foolish to euthanize birds that can be free ranged and some shared to local farmers in the communities.

That many birds set free will destroy the ecosystem. If things work as planned, chickens will become a pest.

It's obvious that members here have never seen more than a hundred chickens in their lives. One thousand of those things will kill any insect and small rodent population in a village talk less of three hundred and fifty thousand of them. On one hand, the firm cared only about profit, hence abandoning the livestock. On another, the carcasses can be recycled into fertilizer. E sure me die say na oyibo get the farm.

Provide a logical argument, not a retort. In fact, don't. This is Nairaland. Nobody comes here to learn.

I understand where you're coming from, but, like I said earlier, this case is that of a poultry farms on an industrial scale. Also most modern poultry farms follow some standardized practices. You just don't wake up and start feeding their chickens maggots and water hyacinth. They may not pass quality inspections after that...

Business is a risky and dangerous thing. Maybe they were running the business using borrowed money and profit was not coming in as planned. Many things could have gone wrong including fund mismanagement.

A 500000 poultry is a serious profit venture
Unless as you indicated the fund management cycle of the poultry farm was underestimated

mastermaestro:
She meant that since they had become cannibalistic, instead of euthanizing them which is an economic waste, just debeak them to prevent further cannibalism and keep them alive.

I think the decision to cull them is more of a moral, sensibility decision than anything else.

They didn't euthanize them all; they only euthanized those that been cannibalised and could no longer survive/those that had gone so hungry that they might not recover.
