[q uote author=expertman post=42302764]I will advise you to go into poutry. Poutry business is highly profitable.Farm farming have sent many people back to the village. Have you heard about rainfall sweeping away a fish pond? Now here is the laid down a good point of lay Birds is sold at 700 to 1K. Then you get cage from welder at the rate of 20k. 20k cage can house up to 40birds. Their feed at point of lay you need to buy what is called grower finisher match get their necessary drugs for both curing of dieseases and supplement of vitamin. The best drugs for that is called accetryrin or also. Then after they start droping you feed them with layers match. After getting alot of eggs from them you still sell those birds at 1,300 to 1,500 during festive seasons. You can even breed maximize ur profits. So you see you not lossing out at all. I have just started my own too with 70birds inside my compound so i so much knows what am talking here. What gave me the inpirations is many of my customers who came to buy electronics from my shop are mostly into poutry farming. come see nice different cars this guys are using simply working from farm. That was what moltivate me in starting a poultry. In poultry business you start seeing your returns same montb you got started which i doubt when it comes to fish farming. So my take on your Question is to start a poultry business. Is more profitable and gives Rest of mind. Thank you[/quote]how about a whats app group for those of us who want to chat with u on the go on the subject matter. I have a plot of land that i would love to start something with for a start. |

makenzie:.... You are still new in this thing man... just wait until after u have done six or 8 months with ur 70birds and bring back ur report.... i have been into poultry and fish farming and i still do activelly.... i have 2500 layers on my farm (and this is even small)... so i know what i am talking about. and if i may tell you ur 70birds can only give u like 2% profit if they are layers... u will soon discover this when ure months into it and u will have to wait 3-5 days to pick 2 crates from them. and if i may have to advice anyone on this thread also.... from my reaseach of 5 years, agro business can only give you a desired and favourable outcome if done on a large scale.... cos the larger it is, the larger ur turnover. now what we are saying here is with 100k fish farming will give this young man higher turnover than poultry/layers. Nobody is disputing the fact that poultry is very lucrative!.... infact i will add that it is very very lucrative and awesomely rewarding when done well... (i am a living testimony to this)... i can tell you that with just a land and 100k, fish farming makes more sense than poultry! provided there is constant supply of water and mind u water is equaly important for both birds and fish. ur birds can go 24hrs without food... but they can never go 20hrs without water if u try this, 70% of them will never lay again!!! and i repeat again! you will only keep feeding them at a colosal loss! (he doesnt even need to dig a pond there are cheaper ways of doing that)...... now to a short analyses of ur 70birds, they will eat one bag in 2 days it will remain some to feed about 50 of them for the 3rd day or u can even rough it and use a bag for 3days no problem..... it is what u give them that they give back to u. now lets go with a bag for 3days a bag of feed @ present is @least N2300 even when localy milled on small scale. you will get 2crates and maybe very few pieces from the 70 in 3days.... a crate ull sell @550 if ure lucky.... most guys sell @ N500 or N520 that is bad marketing anyway!... no crate of egg leaves my farm for less than N600 (i achieved this because i created my own market myself) now u buy feed N2300 in 3 days and you sell N1100 how does that sound!... this is what happens when poultry is done on a small scale!... you cant even employ a help with that cos there will be no money to pay them.... mind you, this is just feeding alone ooooo it excludes the cost of (Water, vacines,electricity etc)... i will advice again! the best bet for him is Fish with what he has! (Mind you guys! i am not trying to discourage people from poultry i am only saying it should be done well and properly to make good profit from it. i am a serious poultry farmer too oooo and i make good money from it. i make good money from Fish farming too) (on a final note i will jokingly like to say that only the serious minded will read all that i have written) |

boyesky:You said the truth. I'm an agriculturist by profession, with 100k invested in poultry, you are likely to earn little or nothing. Birds are good consumers, starving them for hours will bring serious reduction in yield and growth. But fish can stay for about 3 days or more without food, the only possible problem in fishery is water supply. |

I am an experienced fish farmer .I haven't trained birds before so I have nothing to say about it . For the fishes , It is very lucrative . The success story wil only come if you have reasonable capital to invest in it . I have been a fish farmer since I completed my nysc in 2012 and I know the level I am right now running fish farm . Under proper management , u wil have little or no disease at all . It is a business you van as well run with little amount by grabbing a good knowledge in hatchery and sales of the fingerlings . That is what we do here in our farm . We hatch fishes every two weeks and we sell out an average of 40,000 fingerlings every 6 weeks . And , fingerlings is sold for 10 naira each . Now , you can agree with me that we don't bring extra money to the farm to train other stocked fishes that we train to table size. We sell fingerlings every month to maintain the farm in terms if feeding , paying of workers and also save alot of money on monthly basis . With this little update , I think I have convinced u that fishery is not a bad option . For more enquiries , you can contact me anytime .

Greatest akokite, we don't carry last...good intention but I'm convinced you don't have the prerequisite skills and experience. I love to welcome you on board but seriously their is more to either poultry or fish farming. I suggest you look for a good and functional farm to learn for the space of time you have before NYSC... you should by the end of a cycle learnt vital rudiments...please seek more counsel and be sure your decision will be the best. Good luck. |

Both poultry and fish farming are lucrative, but go with high risks. You need mentorship/apprenticeship in both cases if you want to succeed. Both also, they need capital..good capital esp for feeding. You also need bio-security and good management practices. |
