AgricultureRe: How Many Bag Of Feed Do I Need In Rearing 100 Broilers by SwitBEsther: 4:45pm On May 12, 2020
drexx:
as you would agree with me, poultry business profitability is largely dependent on the scale you operate. the truth is that the higher you produce, the lower your cost of production. doing 100 for start up is good but settling on 100 if you have space is wasteful. 5k used to run medication for 100 birds can also run medication for 200 birds. the profitability depends on your scale

meanwhile let's do a little plus /minus

100 birds at 200 per bird- 20,000
feeds- 4 bags of starter at 3750- 15000
11 bags of finisher at 3650-40150
drugs 5000
wood shavings/transport-2000
kerosene- 2000

total- 84,150

Working with a mortality of 5,

Revenue is 114,000
profit is 29,850.

With proper management and a little bit of knowledge and luck, you can reduce the mortality and the amount spent in medications. there is organic farming now where you can use things around you to stand in for drugs and they are even more effective. My vet is complaining that I don't call or visit as before, we have found better natural alternatives to drugs. Credit goes to my oga @organic foods
I'm practicing 100% Organic poultry farming
* Low mortality
* Healthier meat for consumption
And so many benefits

Some Common mistakes to avoid before starting Organic Poultry farming

* Ensure you get the right knowledge.Very imperative in order to avoid story that touch.I remember before i ventured into my organic poultry farming,i read a lot of information about the business,i join so many organic groups and i also did paid training. I kept reading also on the net in order to be abreast of any challenges that might come up.Before venturing into poultry business seek the right knowledge

*Housing Birds in an unhygienic environment,this singe act can be very detrimental to the health of the birds and after the success of your business. Dirty environment can lead to many health issues such as respiratory problems, mite/lice infestations and a host of other health issues and diseases.

*Not noticing a Sick Bird in time.You need to be very observant.Birds needs to be checked daily.You need to take note of color of the birds poo,feeding habit,activeness etc

*Having Overcrowded housing for birds.Overcrowding can lead to stress, cannibalism, feather pecking, and other issues.

aysnoopy:
to my own opinion, you'll need up to 10bags and you will surely achieve more dan 2kg if feed well
Budget for 12 - 14 bags of feed

1.How much , where can I get this?

2.Do you mean you dont give them feed?

Thank you for your mentoring.
Thank you for your words of appreciation.

What in particular do you want to buy?

The Birds eats their regular feed. During brooding, I use Rice husk underneath the newspaper for some days. Then later I stop the newspaper and spread wood shaving. I don't use saw dust(my choice)

Have a look at the picture,i have placed the birds drinkers and feeders

Herbs ranging from Tagiri, Cayenne pepper will take care of NCD.

I start giving my birds herbs from Day one till slaughter and also at different days water only.
