How far bro, pls we need to talk, pls send me a mail so we can exchange numbers, email address.. johnmaince@gmail.com.,.... Thanks quote author=TheFarmer1 post=125555568]I created this account so as to give practical steps to break into the Poultry Industry in Nigeria. I have seen posts/ threads about poultry production here on Nairaland, but I am yet to see threads that have given hands-on practical approach on how you can raise poultry birds- Broilers, layers and others, without fear of losing your money. This thread will be updated from time to time. It will be some kind of place where you, as a budding farmer or someone who wants to take a chance in this industry, can go to, to get a tip or two, so as to be on track in whatever activity you are engaged in. It will be a mixture of Practical as well as Theoritical Steps to keep you in the game. My name is TheFarmer1. I have been in the poultry business for about 4 years and i am more than willing to give you what you need to succeed in this endeavor. [/quote] |

lol... oga OP, im 1100% sure that you are not into poultry farming. More importantly i will give it to you that your writeup abi na thesis mke i call ahm is top notch. ANY LIVING SOUL ADVISING ANYBODY TO GO INTO POULTRY FARMING AT THIS TIME IN NIGERIA IS A DEV*L INC****E. at this point in time its not financially attractive to new entrant. those of us in the business are only trying to keep the business afloat. everything is expensive. the price of maize which takes nothing less than 50% of their feed has taken all the profit. thats even if you are mixing the feeds on site. For more INFO. ask around from real farmers. |

Amazinggrcae: Hi. The glucose you can use is just about any glucose suitable for veterinary use. As for Multivitamins, you can use Ivory Arc multivitamins or any other good one. As regards antibiotics, you can use Ampidox, Megadoz, LGP Erythromix and others. If you need further assistance, you can send me a mail here on nairaland. |

hartopher76:There are many brands that have highly competitive feeds in the market today. You have companies producing feeds like Ultima, NewHope and indeed many others. They also come with varying prices. You check your pocket and know the one to go for. Ultima is always good. You can go for Ultima. |

YoungDaNaval:If anybody tells you there aren't risks involved, that person is definitely telling you lies. Just as in everything you do in life, there is always some level of risk. As regards this business, you could place an order for birds and you receive low quality day old chicks. They will feed till eternity and you will never get a good weight. It happens. There could be disease outbreak in your farm. This is a very common occurrence but what matters is how you respond to these outbreaks and the best way or ways to tackle it. You could also have the problem of sales. One thing is raising these birds and it's entirely a different ball game selling them. Hence, you must be prepared at all fronts to make sure you are selling and Making profit at the same time. If you have issues of outbreaks in your farm, send me a mail here. We will continue from there. 1 Like |

Abaniwealth:What you sell at 6 weeks is totally dependent on your cost of production at 6 weeks. I could decide to sell at N4000, and the next farmer may decide to sell for N5000. Your environment is also a factor. If your target market is a posh estate, you can actually sell at a higher price because you know that your prospective customers can afford to part with more. 2 Likes |

gemini35: The truth is if you are raising birds in commercial quantity, it is adviceable to use commercial feeds. It saves you a lot of headache and stress. At the end of the day, if you critically look at the cost difference between a feed you formulated yourself and the commercial feed, you'd find out that the difference isn't that much. So why go through the stress? 5 Likes |

YoungDaNaval:This level of mortality could be as a result of a number of things. It could be as a result of vaccine failure in the hatchery. I have seen a situation where a farmer lost 400 point-of-lay birds. Following investigation, it was found out that the birds weren't given vaccine againt Merek Disease in the hatchery. This level of mortality could also result from an outbreak of disease in the poultry farm although it must be at a very devastating level for this number of mortality to be recorded. Diseases such as Newcastle disease, coccidiosis are known to have very high mortality rate, if not well managed. 1 Like |

wuyexzy01: No doubt, the cost of raising poultry birds is quite high, like I said at the beginning of this thread. Poultry business isn't for people without money to spend. If you have limited resources, you must have to stick to what you can afford to do, which was why I suggested that one can go into raising birds for just 2 to 3 weeks. Yes, I am 100% into poultry Production and we have found ways of being in business despite the fact that a lot of farms are shutting down. It is not easy but it's what we love to do. 3 Likes |

jmoore:Bro, u r 100% wrong, i swear, to me o, poultry business is one of the best thing that is happening to me now, i don't do all this paper work nd i never use all those powders called synthetic drugs, i don't use even vitalyte for my birds, i know, this will shock u, i produce my vaccine my self, we vaccinate our bird's from Day Old chicks DOC immediately our bird's arrived the brooder, yes! Just as the writer has pointed out, most of these perent stocks are affected by either new castle or CRD but with MAGIC VACCINE 💪 u deal with ur New Castle disease from Day one right in the brooder, nd ur ginger and garlic will clear ur CRD, the ginger and garlic comes after vaccination nd our vaccine is polyvalent as it's covers gomboro nd lasota, it is applied orally on drinking wate, If u even have bitter leaf nd moringa at home, u can use it in place of ur ginger and garlic, we supply vaccine to Kano, Kaduna, Benue taraba, Cameroon nd osun state for now! Magic vaccine is also use for the treatment of new castle, white pooing nd sleeping bird's, most of what is killing the poultry industry is nothing but paper work. Tnx. If u want to no more! Chat me up on WhatsApp 08038791472 nd let's me take u to my farm through video chat make e shock u. 1 Like |
