How to Start Poultry Farming with Little Investment Capital.

Start Poultry Farming with Little Investment Capital: Have you ever thought about how you can start a poultry farming business? You likely have. When most people think of going into agriculture business, one of the first business ideas which come to their minds is poultry farming and there are good reasons for this.



Poultry farming over the centuries has always been a very profitable agricultural venture to engage it. The rewards, if the business is properly managed, are certainly high.

Some of the most successful private citizens who have dabbled into agriculture and are successful have at some point incorporated poultry farming into their agricultural business or focused solely on it. Before we go into how you start poultry farming even with less income, let’s first address what poultry farming really is.

What is Poultry Farming?

Poultry farming is raising and/or breeding of domesticated birds like chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese, for the aim of producing meat or eggs for food. Basically a poultry farm is a dedicated place set aside for raising poultry birds for food or for sale but usually for sale.

One of the first things to ask is what is the type of poultry birds available and which is more profitable. They are all profitable depending on many factors like the demand, the favorable weather conditions, the cost of operation and so much more. We would discuss how you would go about this later in the article.

When deciding on poultry farming, you could either choose a particular poultry bird to rear or rear them all if you want. Do take note that if you are rearing more than one poultry bird, they sometimes require different specifications. For example, the specifications or modifications to the feedin

Well it is quite possible for you to start it up with the a little capital that you have , but it is only for you to make adequate plan and some estimated calculation of how you can use the little capital you have perfectly. There is how you can calculate how you can use the money available to start up this business to a point that the money is capable of taking care of everything without having to borrowed it somewhere.

Apart from capital in a business it is also necessary for you to have at least some understanding of the business you are interested to start because business understanding is what is needed now and for the poetry I advised that you have some basic and physical training on how this business can be handle because without proper handling on this business the possibility of losing will be higher.

I've seen a situation that someone loses hundreds of chicken within a period of two days just because the person didn't follow up the normal procedure in chicken management. Capital may be needed but that can really be managed but understanding of the business is actually the most important thing .

Poultry business from beginning has been a very profitable business whether in low-scale or large-scale . the profitability of a poultry business depends on how the business is managed and not how large the scale of the business is . a lot of people today think that to open or run a poultry business do you have to invest a lot of money and by a lot of farm domestic birds like fowl , guinea fowl , ostrich etc . Yet they are business tends to fail as a result of the poor management process .

In some part of west Africa to be precise Nigeria , a lot of people have indulge in agricultural practices like the rearing of farm domestic animals like poultry farming most of them succeed while others will not succeed . Like I said the success factor of a poultry farm depends on its management . A poultry farm need to be cleaned and sanitized and where the birds are kept must be spick and span and free from any form of bacteria that could affect the health of the poultry birds . It is understandably that most poultry farm owners incur losses as a result of poor poultry farm management and one of these poor poultry farm management is having a dirty poultry farm environment .

There is no doubt that we are certainly experiencing some level of food shortage in the mostly at this particular point in time, hence there is this high rise in the proces of goods are services and everyone is experiencing the crunch on the economy, although this current administration has always clamoured that people should go back fully into farming and get their eyes off the issues of the over reliance on crude oil. But quite unfortunately so many people has always tried to put in their best to make this a reality but they keep hitting a bricks wall, as a result of lack of funding on the part of the government who has championed the campaign for people to return back to farming, even the government themselves had always settled for the proceeds to get from crude oil. They have not shown any level of seriousness or commitment on their part to help improve agricultural produce in this country. They even placed restrictions on the importation of foreign foods coming into the country. Hence this has open u doors opportunities for those that will benefit alot who can invest their hard earn money in poultry farming. It is indeed lucrative.

There is no doubt that a very good amount of the population usually like to consume poultry products. This can be ranging from chicken which is considered to be very nutritious and also eggs which can be used for so many things like baking and household consumption. This makes poultry farm to be a very creative business but then you have to inject a certain amount of money if you want to be successful in it .

If you are not having so much money that you will want to invest you can still do it but then what is going to take a majority of your money is the space that you are going to rent out. There is particularly no problem if you already have free space that you can be able to keep the birds .

You can also choose to go into a partnership with somebody who has their dreams of starting his kind of business but does not have the needed funds . In this way you guys are going to collaborate together so that you can be able to build the farm after making contributions and then share the profits as it is coming along the way.

Any business you are interested will always require some money , no matter how you may try because even if you have to start a poultry business now , you still need money to buy feeds which is very important for the growth of the poultry . And apart from that ,
you also have to be very observant in the sense that you should know when you should be ministers and so many other thing .
You will need money to buy drugs for this chickens because they could be infected by disease or any other thing ..

The best thing we need to understand is that no matter how the business we are interested to start is , money will be required in one way or the other and that is what we have to plan toward me we should be looking for opportunities to grow higher . . .
