Poultry business is no dount one of the agricultural businesses that one can venture into and one can be very sure of getting high returns if well managed. There are many things to consider before venturing into it. The farmer should decide if the rearing will be intensive, semi intensive or extensive mode of rearing.

The most cost effective is the extensive form but it is very risky. The best one that should be opted for by a good farmer should be intensive. I won't really recommend poultry farming for someone that is not careful or not hygienic.


The feeding of these birds should be timely done. The will ensure their growth. There should be regular cleaning of their house. This will reduce the spread of diseases among those birds. The ones that have been infected as well should be isolated to curtail the spread of the disease.


If the person cannot manage it. It is not a bad idea to hire the service of some expert to be running the business. Vet doctor should always be available to cater for the sickeness of these birds.

Bird business is all time lucrative business but it sells most during festive periods.
