We once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with us.

She smiled and said to us.

"I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.

I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me...
I stopped fighting with my in laws...
I stopped fighting for attention...
I stopped fighting to meet people's expectation of me...

I stopped fighting for my rights with inconsiderate people...
I stopped fighting to please everyone...
I stopped fighting to prove they were wrong about me...
I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight for..

And I started fighting for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny.

The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful & so much more content."

Some fights are not worth your time.....

Choose what you fight for wisely!

Great farmers_

The only things you will need to be successful in farming business is willing to do what most people are not.

__put it the work consistency,

but most people will stops along the way.
.....when it gets tough.
.....when they lose focus and get distracted.
.....when scared of what others people thick.
......when they forget why they started.

Keep learning.

Keep growing.

Keep focused on your goal .

Keep putting it the work daily.

FOR OUR SEASONAL FARMER.

Raising birds only for Christmas or festive season won't give you easy sales or good interaction and relationship with your customers.

You need to build your business and grow your customers. You may be lucky to sell all your birds even if you produce only during festive season but luck doesn't work every time.

Once you have decided the type of breed to buy and your target weight, you can buy like 25pieces to sharpen your skill and connect with customers.

Note: Business plan and theory is different from reality.

Consistency is part of marketing.

When I see folks asking questions like this

Which one is profitable between layers and Broiler production, I laugh inside my mind.

Every business with their own challenges, some poultry farmers are even praying for their layers to stop laying for now while some still praying for theirs to drop eggs for them.

But the question is that where the market.

The current egg glut causes by cashless policy and the peak production of birds has render some farmers helpless.

Some are forced to sell at low price.

Some have hundreds and thousands of eggs spoilt already in store.

Some are using the eggs to feed their fish.

No reduction in price of feed but farmers are selling at low price just to avoid total loss.

There's challenges in every business but your approach will determine your profit or loss.

3. ARBOR ACRE

ARBOR ACRE :This strain evolved from the combination of Ross genetic trait and that of Cobb. Therefore, arbor acre share the characteristics of both the Ross and cobb. Their FCR is not really good at early stage but develop good fcr after 6weeks.

This breed was imported by Chi to Nigeria based on research it was discovered that they are using the grand parent stock (GPS).

However, over the years we have seen improved varieties of arbor acre strain like AA, AA+, AA+S, AA+R but currently now what we have in Nigeria is AA+.

Advantages.

Wide breast
Broad carcass with tall legs.
Can cope with cold or hot weather.
High meat to bone ratio
Low mortality..... mostly after brooding stage.
Good for learner

2. COBB 500

COBB 500: This is another breed of Broiler that attain good weight at 7,8,9 weeks that's the period when they add good weight cause from 1-6 weeks they will just be growing little meat.
They grow mostly tall at 1-6 weeks, grows more feathers than ROSS 308.

They have broad chest with big carcass, better FCR after 6weeks compare ROSS 308. So because of the good FCR even after brooding stage give atleast 120g of feed per bird because they need the feed then for good weight.

Advantages

Better FCR after 6weeks
Heat Tolerance
Wide body frame work
High survivability.
Better disease resistance compare to ROSS 308

Disadvantages
High Susceptibility to Coccidiosis.

1. ROSS 308

Ross 308 is recognized globally as fast growing breed that will give consistent performance. Generally most farmers value the growth rate, feed efficiency, and robust performance of the Ross 308.Ross 308 is a fast-growing, feed-efficient broiler with a good meat yield.

It's crystal clear that the cost-effective production of Broiler production is for meat purposes which is directly dependent on the weigh because the weigh is what we refers to as the meat.

Advantages of Ross 308
Fast growth rate
Wide Breast
Large Body frame work
They have the highest FCR
They grow rapidly week by week add weight day by day, at 5 weeks they spread their legs in k-shape, they don't grow tall, they grow fat mostly

Disadvantages
Susceptibility to heat
Less growth speed when compared to other breed after 6 weeks
You can manage to keep them up till 7 weeks after 7 weeks you are just wasting your money trying to feed them for them to add more weight, you will just loose, they are good for 6 weeks business
They don't like Heat,
they can manage cold environment, heat stress kills them more than CRD sef

The Ross 308 don't need rationing of food (meaning give them food always) from day old till 6 weeks, they need none stop feeding cause any feed they eat they have the highest ability to convert it to meat & Fat.

Hatcheries that produces Ross308 in Nigeria are:
