Investing into Agriculture is a brilliant decision, But meeting the right minds to work it out is always the problem. If you wouldn't mind, I will be of great help, because I love it when people show interest in my field, it gives me an impression that I'm not alone in this field. There are a whole lot of areas to venture into, depending on the interest of the investor. One thing I do tell people as an Agriculture expert is that, no line in Agriculture is not profitable, also no line in Agriculture is not capable of ruining a farmer or investor if not handled properly as a business. I can be of help in guiding you through.

I need your guidance please,

I want to go into layers farming, I want to start with 50-100 layer birds (20k-40k), I intend using a battery cage for it (70k-90k) I want to acquire a room & parlour for it (48k per annum), I can get an open land but I can't afford for its security so I think it's invalid, I don't know how much for the feeding yet.

I intend starting anytime soon, I just want to know more about it first.

Raph82:
Ok, it's good you have interest in poultry farming, egg production in particular, I salute you. Now there are things you need to be aware of about poultry farming, and by God's grace, I will expose everything you need to know to you without adding colour.

The success and failure of poultry is in management. Everything you will learn will be from my wealth of hands-on experience in the field of animal production.

Now to start with, I will not recommend you renting a room and parlour to practise cage system of poultry farming, not even the deep litter system, because it won't be easy to control the Ammonia gas generated by the birds' droppings (poultry dung).

Besides, nobody will rent out his or her property to you for such purpose, because the waste from the poultry will surely be a big issue within the neighbourhood, the foul odour will be hard to control, that's why you wont find any serious poultry establishment in a residential area.

I will be back here when I return back home in the evening.

Hoopers:



I have gone beyond wishing. I have started. I am cultivating two acres cucumber, 25 acres maize and 30 acres cassava

I'm in Oyo State. You can come and visit me in person and then visit the visit, and then decide to invest

Please drop your contact I want to work with you. Mr Yukiooo you can contact me at my facebook page Amadasun Farm thanks

Okay Sir,

I anticipate your return.

Raph82:
Another good reason why a room and parlour won't be a good idea is that it won't be easy to manage the litter. When cages are used, there must be a good drainage underneath the cages that will allow easy packing of the litter (fowl dung), or flushing of the litter frequently.

Your best bet is to rent an unused poultry pen, there may be some little capacity pens around you if you can make some findings, that will be better.

There are two major types of housing system in poultry. We have :

Closed house system - Where all the sides of the poultry building are fully blocked or closed, while the enclosed building is fully climate-controlled and automated. it is used by all these big poultry farms such as Zartech, Agrited, Olam, Globus and so on.

Open house system - Here, the four sides of the building is open, no walls.The sides are only covered with chicken nets to confine the birds and allow free flow of air (ventilation).

Laying birds can generate lots of heat, coupled with ammonia gas from their litter and the environmental heat, birds need plenty of ventilation in their confinement to get rid of excess heat. A parlour and room won't help that, because they are semi-closed area. I think you get the point now.

If you won't be there to monitor the birds yourself or give them the needed attention, please forget about the idea of starting a poultry, don't waste your money.

There are lots of intriguing facts I'll like many people to know about poultry farming, these facts are based on many years of getting my hands dirty in the field, there are ups and downs, profits and losses, happy days and sad days, but above all, I can say farming is the way, and remains a goldmine if you go by the rules. Keep asking your questions here, and I'll do my best to answer based on first hand experience.

I understand sir

Most poultry pens for layers have enough ventilations like the open house system and the room and parlour don't have that luxury.

I won't be very much available for it too because I am a student and once the assu strike is called off I won't be available everytime and like you said I am wary of wasting my money and time.

Please can you advise any agricultural farming I could venture in with my situation, I have passion for agricultural and I want to start small now.

Raph82:
That word melts my heart when I hear it from youths with no background in Agriculture. That's the word that keeps me going in my field. You see, passion gets killed by frustration arising from continuous failure in a particular area of endeavour, most especially when you've committed a large chunk of your life savings into it.

This is my candid advice, You can go for crop farming for now, such as cassava farming, it requires less attention from the farmer. You can try out other crops like maize, groundnut, yam.

For animals, your attention is always needed, no matter what. But if you have a small piece of land that you have control over, close to natural vegetation, you can start bee keeping, it requires less attention, highly profitable and very interesting.

I have a personal plot of land I bought in the bush.

I will research about the bee keeping and ask you what I don't seem to understand.

Thanks for your advise sir.

udoji2021:

Pls forget about poultry farming if you don't have time or a trusted person to manage it. it will end in premium tears.
like i once suggested here, try yam farming and thank me later. i will assist you

Raph82:
You're welcome

Connected1:

Okay

I seen some videos of yam farming in sacks, do you think it's a good idea, won't it affect the performance of the yams as there won't be enough space to sprout in the soil.

udoji2021:

To be honest, i saw it online and can not say if it's good or not. however, i will not advise a starter to do it cos i have many unanswered questions about the pattern of planting yams in sack. moreover, it's planting season so why will you do such now? in a nutshell, a piece of land is better pls

Connected1:

Thanks.

You know, I was trying to avoid the hard work associated with land farming.
