From my 7yrs experience in a big farm, I will advice you still source for more fund or u keep the money till u can raise more. 100k can't go anywhr ma friend. In both cases u need a constant water supply which wasn't indicated in ur write up, construction of ponds or housin for d birds(battery cage) will even consume the said amount u have for now. Contact me 08074715074 so I csn give u some info and advice on how to start either of the two on a very small scale 4 Likes |

Although you did not indicate your academic background. Being a graduate of agriculture or animal science would afford you a better understanding of the either the poultry or fish farming. However, looking at your current capital, I WILL ADVICE YOU NOT TO GO INTO ACTUAL FARMING OF EITHER POULTRY OR FISH. RATHER, PROCESS AND MARKET THE PRODUCTS. Work as a link between the actual producers farmers and the consumers. That way you would be at lesser risk with your limited fund compare being in actual production. Take my email and let talk privately. Don't allow anyone to deceive into actual production now. Neither Poultry nor fish farming is a money-doubling enterprise. Check this website www.animalcare-ng.com That's my model of what you can achieve if you take my advice. |

I have to appreciate ur courage man. I am an awaiting corp member too. We once owned a poultry farming too (layers). It may be lucrative but highly risky depending on ur managerial skill. 100k is enough to start but you might need to add extra cash for feeding b4 the birds start laying. Will love to connect wt u man maybe we can share ideas. Thanks. |

Re: Fish Farming Or Poultry Farming. by Patented: 10:08am On Jan 25, 2016 |
do you have the facility for either (chicken pens and fish tanks/Ponds) also a steady supply of water is critical to both, moreso for fish. if you do not have the facilities then you may have issues due to the initial capital expenditure. the viable option is free range poultry, preferably broiler. or if interested try snail farming. |

unilagfreshest: Startup of 100k . Lets assume you got ur birds at the rate of 1K. So 60birds are okay for a start. Which will give you 2crates of eggs daily. Big eggs are sold for 700Naira per crate while small ones are sold for 600Naira per crates. Your goal is to get the best multivitamins for them so they can produce big eggs. Go to vet stores ask for drugs that kills birds dieases and at same time supply vitamins. Such drugs are sold less than 600. The drugs should be applied according to instructions 1 table teaspoon into 25litrs of water daily. You give them for 7days. The drugs should be applied like that monthly. So we have spent 60,600 now. Caged from welder is at worst 20k making 80,600 . Then grower match feeding there are types of fee e.g top feed,hybrid and Animal Care. For grower Hybrid is the best which is sold for 2k for 25kg sack of feed. Making 82,600. Then buy Top layers match whihch you will start feeding them when they start droping. Top layers match is 2,300. So right now we. Spent 85,900. We still have like 15k left which could be used for Tfare cos most point of lay start droping after 2 to 3weeks depending on their age when u bought them. Advise make sure you bu point of lay that is 16weeks or more but should not exceed 19weeks old. Point of lay start dropping from 18weeks to 19weeks. So the choice is urs. Happy earnings Bro 9 Likes 1 Share |

expertman:good break down bro, But will 20k cage house 60 birds? Is the price of the layers match constant? Is there guarantee that the 60 birds will lay 2 crates daily? Shed more lights 1 Like |
Re: Fish Farming Or Poultry Farming. by expertman(m): 10:33am On Jan 25, 2016 |
agarawu23: Yea 20k cage will house them cos it has about 6cage housing steps. 3housing steps in front and 3 at the back. Yes price is always constant is always 2,300. You can even go to their office and buy at 2k. When you feed them well with necessary drugs is guaranteed to give at least 28pcs a day. Since i start poultry business i made my wife in supply and sales of eggs. Since that day my wife no dey bother me abt money again. Except the schools fees for my kids. At times self she will be the one to fuel my car. While i always buy the bird food from my purse so tell me is that not profitable while you knw women and money are twins Study shows each birds lays one egg in 26hrs. 3 Likes 1 Share |

BADNEAT: No Need for mating bros. If you mixed them with cock that mate them then their egge wont be edible as the egg would carry blood after 3days and your customers will always bring them back for change . In fact they will always bring them back every day. I once had this problem until i separate them and gave the layers the needed drugs. There is this drugs you must always give them once in a month to make their egg free of any problem. I have forgotten the name of the drug is a small tablet sold for 250Naira they always sell it with ice block. When you ask them at vet they tell you the name. Enjoy 2 Likes |

Bro, am serving presently and i have such tot as well. I guess for starting, fishery may b better, why, because d risk, cost of feed is less. U can start with constructed (wooden) pond which may cost less. In a few months (4 to 5) u may b counting hundred of thousand. And if u can, u may stock dem per month. For example, u may start with 300 to 400 juvenals which may cost u 30naira per 1,, with dat, if well treated, each may b sold @ 800 or 1k... Anyway, we can share ideas in my whatsapp 08146565369. Text me. If u call it may not go due to d network here in my PPA. Wish u best guy |

There is no need opening another thread with the same agenda. I have a similar opourtunity with d op. I have just 100k of my total savings, i know how impirtant it is to amass savings before venturing into enterpreneur activities. But have been athome since somehow last year and i been busy incuring expenses without any sort of income. 100k is almost same thing as 10,000 naira if one wanna keep spending it will just vanish into thin air. So i have been thinking latley how i can invest it and see income atleast that can sustain at the shortest time possible. Even if its on d average of 500naira to 1k daily. Its a good start. So, i need your advice experienxed ones, i have an abandoned pen here. Its my sis, she studied APH but husband carry her comot for house during the time she wanted to venture into it, so d pen has turned to panty house since then. I also have acess to water and still enough space of upto half plot. With this factors i posses Can you advice me personally based on my startup funds? Pls make una no vex o. We wan exel too.
