The poultry farming industry in Nigeria is undergoing rapid development, benefiting from the growing demand for eggs and poultry products. With a growing population and increasing demand for protein-rich foods, poultry farming is an industry with great potential.
With its vast farmland and suitable climatic conditions, Nigeria has gradually become an ideal place for poultry farming. Chicken farming not only provides income generating opportunities for farmers, but also contributes to the growth of the local economy. At the same time, the government and private companies are constantly promoting the modernization and sustainable development of the poultry farming industry to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
At present, most chicken farmers in Nigeria mainly use free-range farming. This means all their chickens can go outside and have access to food and water at all times, as it is cheaper and easier to set up.
Free-range chickens have the following disadvantages:
Space Requirements and Costs: Free-range farms require more space, and land is expensive to purchase and maintain.
Sanitation challenges: Environmental sanitation is difficult to maintain, chickens are susceptible to diseases and parasites, and it is difficult to ensure fresh and clean food.
High cost: The cost of free-range chickens is relatively high, especially under the current high feed price, the waste of feed is serious.
Difficulties in temperature control: The temperature is not easy to control. Extreme weather such as extreme heat or severe cold may cause a large number of chickens to die, causing heavy losses to farmers.
So free-range chickens are actually not very efficient. In order to solve this problem, the Nigerian government is trying to promote a new method of raising chickens called “automatic chicken cages to raising chickens”, which will help chicken farmers reduce costs and increase productivity.
Compared with free-range farms, chickien cage systems have many advantages:
1) It allows farmers to raise more chickens in the same space. That means they use less land, which means they can expand their business and make more money.
2) Farmers can produce eggs or meat faster. This means they can increase capital turnover and make this business more profitable.
3) It can help reduce feeding costs because it is easy to manage feeding allocation and control waste.
4) It allows chickens to lay eggs in automatic chicken cages without having to walk over dirty ground, which eliminates potential contamination of ground feces and collects eggs in a cleaner and more efficient manner.
5) Easy to clean and disinfect poultry farms. This is important because it reduces the risk of disease outbreaks such as bird flu or salmonella, and reduces costs associated with cleaning and disinfection efforts.
6) The temperature and humidity in the chicken house can be monitored and controlled to keep constant throughout the day. This means that the chickens are warm in winter and cool in summer, which improves the survival rate and reduces the mortality rate.
So if you want to start a poultry farm or expand your farm and want to take your chicken farming business to the next level, I highly recommend you to try this new way of raising chickens in automatic chicken cages in Nigeria. We are more than happy to share more information about this battery cage system with you.
