Most people establish poultry farms to make money and for very good reasons however, many of them get distracted and move on to the next “shiny thing.” You see, poultry farming requires a lot of dedication and hard work so some people might view it as a waste of time and energy if they have a “get rich quick” mindset. Without much ado, let me jump straight to 4 reasons why you should invest in poultry farming.

Income generation 

No doubt about it, poultry farming is a great source of generating income. For instance, with just 500 cedis you could raise 100 broilers for 6 weeks before you put them up for sale. Typically, a 6 weeks old broiler is sold for around GHS 30 or GHS 35.

Employment 

If you dream of becoming your own boss, then poultry farming provides an excellent avenue for you to achieve just that. Trust me, there are so many activities likes brooding, vaccination, debeaking, etc involved with poultry farming so be rest assured that there is never going to be a dull moment.

Poultry farming is a continuous source of income

Poultry farming generates income continually either daily, weekly or monthly. How? For instance, if you invest in layers you could be making money daily from the sale of eggs. You could also win a contract from a school or restaurant where they would pay you weekly or monthly but be careful not to put all your eggs in one basket, try your best to diversify your customer base as much as possible.

Poultry droppings serve as a natural fertilizer

This is another point I want us to examine very well. Did you know you could sell chicken droppings? Yeah, bird poop literally. Of course, you can. How? Vegetable farmers need this product you regard as waste to nourish their plants which explains the demand for chicken droppings.

Conclusion

By now, you would have realized that investing in poultry farming could prove to be a very good decision. If you do things correctly, I can assure you that you are not going to regret entering into this massive industry (poultry farming).
