Broiler farming, or raising chickens for meat, is a growing business in Nigeria and Africa. In Nigeria, the poultry industry is a key part of the agriculture sector, with broiler farming being very popular. In 2020, Nigeria produced over 300 million broiler chickens, making it one of the largest producers in Africa.
Starting a broiler farm involves setting up a secure chicken house, providing proper feed and clean water, and ensuring good ventilation and hygiene. Broilers need to be kept warm and protected from diseases, so vaccination and regular health checks are important. Many farmers use commercial feed to ensure the chickens grow quickly and healthily. With proper care, broilers can grow to market weight of about 2.5 to 3 kilograms.
The profitability of broiler farming comes from the high demand for chicken meat. Chicken is a preferred protein source in many households and is widely used in restaurants and fast food outlets. Farmers can sell their chickens live or processed, depending on market needs. The price of broilers varies, but farmers generally earn good profits due to the fast growth and high turnover rate.
Proposed capacity:
The farm aims to stock, breed and produce 2,000 broilers per cycle and 5 cycles per year (10,000 per annum).
