Feed costs are crazy right now due to ill thought out government policies 18,000 for New Hope's cheaper layer feed or 17050 for Hybrid layer feed but New Hope is best That's why many smaller poultry farmers have packed shop Only saving grace is scaling up production & maintaining a 80% and above laying rate Even bigger farms that compound feed or use concentrates are switching to bagged feeds Those producing meat birds are buying feed even higher at over 20-22 k depending on the product Yet some people are asking for the borders to be opened for cheap unhealthy imports, without realizing that closed borders are what is still keeping the fewer poultry farms alive and afloat
This is just the absolute truth and it sad that is is our current reality in our country . The saving grace is just to have 80% and above production rate so as to stay aflot while we hope that things get better . I appreciate your detailed contribution, thank you for watching .
Hello, Well, it's a bit scary for not just new people coming into the business but also for farmers currently in the business. However , for a business to survive and be sustained , all indices should be recorded and pricing should be based on those indices . Thank you for watching.
@Bukasfarm my farm is in Ogun state. I asked about your location because of the price for your eggs , but I understand based on the location. The price range here is about 4300 to 4600 Naira
You are totally right and it is quite saddening that government intervention in the poultry industry is not visible. We are all just struggling . Thanks for watching
Feed production is a whole lot , as getting raw materials is such a bottle neck hurdle and we currently do not have the capacity for it . Thank you for watching
Well, you said it all. It's the ripple effect of the production line.
That's just the honest truth . Thanks for watching

Hello, what is the minimum number of layers can a farmer work with to get a meaningful profit.
@@okeziechimmuanya4155 I'd say from 500 , but one can start with 200 too and still make some profit
Thanks for the info, I guess it will be little bit scary for people that want to venture into this business, cus everyday the price of feed increases.
