When it comes to poultry business, a lot of myths surround it's operations and subsequent profitability. In this write up, I would highlight two often overlooked factors that are very practical in determining the success of your poultry business.

1) Duration of daylight: This factor plays a vital role in the success of any commercial poultry business. So many people say quite a lot of things about it rather ignorantly. Every kind of poultry venture has an ideal daylight that supports optimum growth and profitability. For broilers, 20 to 22 hours of daylight is enough while layers require up to 18 hours of daylight for optimum productivity.

2) Breed of the birds: Every poultry operation, whether broilers or layers has different breeds with different characteristics. Understanding these breeds helps with what to expect and how to manage the birds. It also helps a commercial poultry farmer to better satisfy it's market. Getting these two variables right in poultry gives the venture a chance at being profitable.

The quality of feed and managing the poultry house are two fundamental factors in poultry production. It is important to ensure that birds are provided with a balanced and nutritious diet for growth and general health. Also, keeping a clean and well-organized poultry house is important towards preventing diseases spread and maximizing productivity. These are important elements that can make or break a poultry business in terms of its success rate or profitability.

Bird or poultry farming is lucrative and at the same time, it is very stressful. That's why one needs to know more about it before one starts the business. Just like the poster has rightly said, capital is very necessary before one starts this kind of business.

The more capital, the more the return. However, for someone that is determined, we can always start with a small amount before we decide to expand. As well we should consider the vicinity. We don't start a poultry business where they are vegetarian. It may not be lucrative as we imagine if we make such a mistake..
