you ever had the thought over what people who invested in the poultry farm
business in Nigeria today are making yearly from the sale of their poultry
products?
Poultry
farming these days has become almost the most important aspect of agriculture
here in Nigeria and other countries majorly because of the under listed
reasons.
1.
It creates a source of employment for
most people who ventured into the business.
2.
It yields a lot of income daily, from
the sales of poultry products.
3.
It is a kind of business that does not
fail so easily.
4.
It provides business opportunity for
private owners.
5.
It is a good source of protein and other
vitamins to the body.
6.

particular people to carry out.
7.

maintain healthy growth for children and even adults.

Despite
all the reasons stated above while poultry farming is almost the most important
aspect of agriculture, good farmers earn millions of naira per year though
considering how large the farm is.
Poultry
birds can be kept by an individual in a back yard garden or by intensive
farming production system with a large land and high turnover. However,
knowledge required looking after different kinds of birds like; chickens,
ducks, turkey, and other fowls are the same, be it in a house or free-range.
The
day-to-day management of a poultry farm can be carried out by the owner or
someone else that is given the responsibility to do so. If these poultry birds
are really taken care of, it will yield a lot of revenue for the business
owner. There are various types of chicken based on what they are reared for eg.
meat, egg.
1.
Broiler Chicken: These
particular chickens grows fast, they are reared majorly for meat production.
They are usually ready for sale after 12 (Twelve) weeks from the day they are
hatched.
2.
Layers: Layers are reared for
egg production, though it seems more stressful than the other chickens and most
lucrative because of the egg production involved.
3.
Cockerel: It grows slower and can take
up to twenty-four (24) weeks of age but the egg production begins to reduce
from 25 weeks of age.
In subsequent time I will carryout a survey as to cost
operating this business. Thanks for going through this article, please comment
