With the increase in awareness of the health benefits of proteinous diet, setting up a poultry farm with focus on egg production is a splendid idea. The proposed farm will have a production rate of about a thousand eggs per day with potential for increased production as the agriculture market has no limit with regards to demand.
For a start, the needed capital range is 500000-600000 naira to purchase poultry equipments such as troughs,incubators,feed,etc and set up a lighting system.It will be sited in an area with minimal history of rodent invasion to prevent disease outbreak.
Moreover,by-products from the farm are of economic importance too. They include bird droppings and egg shells which would be supplied to manufacturers of organic manure and calcium supplements respectively.
Investment returns would be high due to increasing demand and production.
