Youngext:
So after carefully studying various aspect of agriculture and the means of contributing to food security in Nigeria in our little bit, by investing in poultry farming as our pilot/ground breaking project in the world of agropreneurship.
How ever, this aspect of agriculture is out first contact with agriculture as a business and we plan to expand to other agricultural ventures/businesses as time passes.

Therefore the need to report and share with the general public out experience and we walk through the journey every step in the way!

So today stated with us, purchasing materials needed to build the chicken coop with a capacity of 200-300 birds for a start (with hopes of expansion in the coming years), we purchased cement bags, building blocks and had the land (proposed site) cleared and ready for brick laying, engineer to his job.

Following carefully!

Well done & good job....

10 bags at an average cost of N3600/bag will give N 36,000 on feed...
50 birds at an average cost of N200 will give N10,000.00
Drugs stand at 5% of feeds which is N1800...
One dose of Gumb + Lasota gives like N1500..
Transport plus Kerosine gives like N2000
Total Estimated Cost =N=51,300.00

Revenue = 1050*52 =N=54,600 (Mortality of 5%)
Profit = N3,300.00 ....6.4% per batch

Feeds always take over 70% of the total cost of production ...
How can someone reduce feed cost to make broiler production profitable without compromising quality .....

Unless if I am wrong, you mean you only made a profit of N3,300.00 from 52 birds after 7 weeks?

Guys, I applied since June this year(Msc Applied Entomology and Parasitology). Any latest news?
