Good morning guys, This has been n inspiring thread, thanks for the ops, major contributors and silent readers like me. I have finally made up my mind to invest in poultry in a rented pen. I intend to do broilers 5-7wks old. I intend to run strictly as biz. I intend to do batches of 1000 at 6wks. Is there market for this venture in Benin City How profitable is this venture What is the cost and expected profit for a batch of 1000 (a breakdown will be appreciated) Thank you |

mozek24: were in benin are you? I am in benin too, maybe we can discuss about this facially but meanwhile the cost of raising a broiler from day old to seven weeks should not be more than 600naira and you can get 2.5kg above and 1.8 -2kg is sure after dressing . I also tink there is good market for it.I know more about broilers, i have been into it for sometime now....but i have not started the 7weeks thing , although i am planing on it...... You said u are starting with 1000 birds, is that not too much? i will advise u start it on a low key.. 1 Like |

@Jamp and Kevin96. In arriving at the figures. i took cognizance of starters & people without prior experience and equipment. I also calculated the cost of raising the birds to 24 weeks should there be delay in laying. However. for the experience farmers in the house 800,000 to 850,000 will be enough to raise the birds to point of lay. Vaccination. the cost covers the cost of procuring the vaccine and paying the vet that will administer it. to vaccinate against Mareks,komorov, Fowl pox, Fowl typhoid, fowl cholera, Coryza, debeaking, and 3 in 1 will cost 90,000 to administer . 1 Like |
