Good day everyone.

I recently want to go into agro business (poultry farming) for the sole purpose of making profits and by God's grace, I have a sizable capital.

The question now is, do I go into poultry farming for meat production or do I go into poultry farming for egg production?

I want the one that's more profitable that's why I need the advice from experienced people here.

I await your contributions.

Pls Mods, move to the front page so I can get the much needed assistance, thanks in anticipation.

FTC. Egg is more profitable, then after a while, you can sell off the layers. You still make your profit.

Egg is more profitable

egg

U people should stop killing animals. Why must u have a poultry when those animals should be living in the bush and dying when their time comes. We need animal control agency in Nigeria

I don't still mind. Stop killing animals

For Egg...Egg lo sure ju

I don't have any idea but i think the one for egg should be more profitable you can also those fowls later my two cent

While egg may give you more profit i think you should do it for both meat and egg.

for eggs is more profitable i think

Poultry

meat!!!!




egg na hw much?

There is none that is more profitable than the other. one thing you must know is that poultry farming wether for eggs or for birds is a highly profitable market especially with the ban on imports in place.
however, there are certain points you have to consider if you want to either rear birds or get eggs for sale.

For eggs, you will need to put in some work in selecting the right birds and giving them the right feed. then when it is time to market them, you have to target people that buy in bulk, including eateries, schools, companies as well as wholesalers in the market if your yield is large.
For broilers, you will also take good care of them till they are large and if you want to make them attractive, ensure you kill and clean it and sell it as whole chicken, people will rush to get from you. you can also target wholesalers and large consumers.
I hope I helped.

40 naira now. Dollar don pit money

Poultry for eggs is more profitable. At the initial stage you'll spend money but after 6 months when your birds starts laying. ... you've gotten a money spinning machine. Good luck

Both

Op dont go into any business without a written plan. Any response you get here wont be of much help. You need to carry out a market survey.

I can carryout the survey and draw up the plan for you for a fee . Cheers

Op, I think poultry is for the two purpose. Rear them for eggs and when they're tired and worn out from laying, you sell them out for meat. Goodluck.

u de mind am

eggs sir, I have friends who are into it, they make serious profit.

Breed for egg it is more profitable and when the layers are old they could be sold off as meat. Double profit

Why don't you carry out out feasibility study, coming to Nairaland for advice like this is like buhari going to yaba left for advice on the economy.

Great people of nairaland I salute oooo

Great people of Nigeria 3 gbosa 4 you

God bless us all

Layers are much more profitable, but their risk is exponential! Plus they take a longer time before you start gaining (around 20weeks).
Broilers on the other hand give much lower profit about 1/3 of layers. However, their risk is minimal, and they take less than 8weeks to harvest.
Bottom line: go for layers but get ready to stand on your toes throughout their lifetime. All the best.

Swear you've never eaten meat before. Hypocrite!

for both

layers for egg. you can start by buying point of lay birds from recognised farm(s)

Train birds?
