<p><strong> </strong>It is needless to state that <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/"><em>poultry farming</em> </a>is one of the most booming businesses in the agricultural sector in recent times. Consequently, people dive into this business with little or no background studies or training, thus making the same <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/8-mistakes-you-must-avoid-if-you-want-to-succeed-in-poultry-farming/">poultry farming mistakes</a> several farmers have made.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>One such mistake is improper<a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/how-to-keep-poultry-farm-record-for-layers/"> <strong><em>record keeping </em></strong></a>like the cost of production, losses, profits, direct and indirect expenses, etc,</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Without proper record keeping, you are just like a leaf floating in the air without a direction-its fate could be anywhere. The same fate awaits any poultry farmer who does not keep proper record keeping.</p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, in this post, I am going to estimate the cost of rearing 500 broilers in Nigeria with its profit amount.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Although, my last post on cost and profit was on; the <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/cost-for-rearing-100-broilers-in-nigeria-with-the-profit-amount/">cost of rearing 100 broilers in Nigeria</a> with the profit amount, and several people requested the cost of rearing 500 broilers, which we are about to dive into now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please, get a piece of paper, a pen, and a calculator because we are going to do some calculations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Without any further ado, let's get down to working.</p>

<h2><strong> How much does it cost to rear 500 broilers in Nigeria?</strong></h2>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p>Let's assume you have a structure already in place and manpower/labor will probably be done by you and your family, but I am still going to estimate it for those who may which to employ a helper. I am very certain that one helper will be enough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These are the major expenses at the time of writing this article:</p>
<p> </p>
<ol>
<li>500-day-old chicks (DOC) at ₦515 = ₦257,500</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<ol start="2">
<li>1 piece of plywood for making brooder @ ₦2,000. 3 x 2000 =₦ 6,000</li>
<li>2 bags of charcoal for heating the brooder = ₦8,000</li>
<li>2 charcoal burners (Jiko) = ₦6,000</li>
<li>15 bags of wood shavings@₦200 = ₦3000</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<h2><strong>How many bags of feed will feed 500 broilers for 8 weeks?</strong></h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The table below contains the age, expected body weight, and cumulative feed intake for male and female broilers from week one to week nine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We shall use the table to estimate the quantity of feed 500 broilers will consume for 8 weeks.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><img alt="Expected weight of broiler" height="247" src="https://farm-assets.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/broiler+table.jpg" width="350"/></p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> Some farmers give their broilers grower, but I don’t… I only give them a starter for 4 weeks and then a finisher to finish off.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h4>1. <strong>How many bags of starter mash will 500 broilers consume in four (4) weeks?</strong></h4>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So, from the table:</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>At 4 weeks a bird will consume between 2020g for males and 1825g for female</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Average = (2020 + 1825) g/2 = 1922.5g</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Therefore,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1 chick will consume 1922.5g of starter mash at 4 weeks</p>
<p>500 chicks will consume 961250g of starter mash at 4 weeks</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1000g = 1kg</p>
<p>961250g= 961.25kg.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That is, 500 birds will consume 961.25kg of feed till 4 weeks</p>
<p></p>
<p>Let covert 961.25kg to bags</p>
<p></p>
<p>25kg = 1 bag= ₦6,300</p>
<p></p>
<p>961.25kg = 38.45 bags = <strong>₦242,235</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So, for the first 4 weeks, 500 broilers will consume38.45 bags of starter mash worth <strong>₦242, 235</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h4><strong>1. How many bags of finisher mash will 500 broilers consume for the last ( week 5 to week 8 ) 4 weeks?</strong></h4>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h4><strong> <img alt="feed trunk" height="330" src="https://farm-assets.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/feed+trunk.jpg" width="248"/></strong></h4>
<blockquote>
<p><strong></strong>feed trunk</p>
<p><strong>70% of your expenses will be on the feed. You should plan for this before production</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p>From the above table, the cumulative feed for male and female broiler at week 8 are 7400 and 6800 respectively.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Average = (7400g – 6800)g/2 = 7100g</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cumulative feed intake from 5 to 8 weeks = cumulative feed intake at 8 weeks minus (-) cumulative feed intake at 4 weeks (7100-1922.5)g =5177.5g</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1 broiler chicken will consume 5177.5g from 5 to 8 weeks</p>
<p> </p>
<p>500 broiler chickens will consume 2588750 g from week 5 to week 8</p>
<p></p>
<p>1000g =1kg</p>
<p></p>
<p>2588750= 2588.75kg</p>
<p>25kg = 1 bag = <strong>₦ 6,500</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>500 broilers will consume 103.55 bags of finisher from week 5 to week 8 at <strong>₦ 673,075</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Total cost for feed = ( cost for starter mash + cost for finisher )</p>
<p> = (242,235 + 673,075)<strong> ₦915,310</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

<h3><strong> One worker @ 12,000 per month for 8 weeks = </strong>₦<strong>24,000</strong></h3>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><sub>Total Cost of Rearing 500 Broilers in Nigeria </sub></strong><sub></sub></p>
<p>Total Cost = (DOT + Plywood + Charcoal + Charcoal burner +Wood shavings + Starter feed + Finisher feed + Vaccine + Vitamin and Antibiotics + Feeder , Drinker , and a worker )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total cost = ( 257,500+6000 + 8000+6000+282,235+673,075+6,340+28,000+14,000+12,800+24,000) ₦ = <strong>₦1,317,950</strong></p>
<h4> </h4>
<h4><strong>Therefore, the Cost of rearing 500 broilers in Nigeria is ₦1,317,950</strong></h4>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Kindly note that these are the major costs. Some costs for drinkers and feeders are capital costs, meaning they shall not be incurred in subsequent production.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In total, you need at least ₦<strong>1,317,950 </strong>to rear 500 broiler chicks for 8<strong> </strong>weeks.</p>
<p>You do not need all this cash at a go to start a broiler farm, maybe you even need a quarter to start. Start now!</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>Profit Amount From Rearing 500 Broilers in Nigeria</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So how much profit should I expect from 500 broiler chickens?</p>
<p></p>
<p>To get the profit amount you have to get the cost of rearing one bird. To get this you divide the total cost by the total number of chicks =₦1,317,950 /500 =<strong>₦ 2,635.9</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Next, is to decide how much profit you should add to your cost per bird. To do this, without getting stranded in the course of selling your bird, you have to know the market prices of various sizes/weights of broiler chickens in the market.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>At the time of writing this article, the market price (in my area) of birds between 2kg and 3kg per week was sold as follows;</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Male broilers were sold between ( 3,800 and 4200)₦. </li>
<li>Female broiler was sold between (3500 and 3,800)</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>Average Price = 3500 + 4200 +3800/3 =₦3,833.33 </p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p>Since the ideal market price is ₦3,833.33, So let assume you will sell your bird between ₦ 3800 and ₦4500</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Your average price will be 3800 + 4500/2 = ₦4,150 </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, you will be selling one birds@₦4,150 </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember not all birds will survive until week 8. Therefore, cumulative mortality at week 8 is assumed to be 4% when all factors are optimum.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Thus cumulative mortality shall be</p>
<p>500x4/100 = 20</p>
<p></p>
<p>Total surviving birds =500-20 = 480</p>
<p></p>
<p>Total sales=₦4,150 x480 = <strong>₦1,992,000</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Total sale is = ₦1,992,000</strong></p>
<h3><strong> </strong></h3>
<h3><strong>Profit = Total Sale – Total Cost</strong></h3>
<h4><strong></strong></h4>
<h4><strong> (</strong> 1,992,000- 1,317,950) = <strong>₦674,050</strong></h4>
<p> </p>
<p>The profit amount from rearing 500 broilers in Nigeria is <strong>₦674,050</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Wow! What a profit…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This profit amount obviously shows that the poultry business is a game of numbers. The higher the number of birds, the greater the profit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, before you think you expanding your flock you should ensure you have the available structure, capital, managerial skill, labor, good poultry record keeping, and a sizable market as well. With all these things in place, you are good to go. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>I am wishing you a successful and bountiful poultry farming this season</p>

<p> </p>8 Best Broiler Growth Boosters in Nigeria for Top Performance2021-05-01T23:26:20+00:002024-03-28T14:39:34.377803+00:00Samuel Ezenwankwohttps://example.com/blog/author/chidi/https://example.com/blog/8-best-broiler-growth-boosters-in-nigeria-for-to-performance/<p> The common goal of every broiler poultry farmer is to achieve the desired market size as fast as possible and within a specific time frame in other to maximize profit and satisfy customers' needs in a very competitive market. Consequently, this has lead many farmers to desperately look for ways to achieving this result within a short time with minimum cost. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>And again, veterinary nutritionists and feed manufacturers have taken advantage of the situation to produce feed and vitamin supplements that are believed to increase broiler chicken's size and weight, thus, the name <strong>Broiler growth booster.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><img alt="" height="225" src="https://farm-assets.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/e-rox+broiler.png" width="225"/></p>
<p></p>
<blockquote>
<h6>E-rox growth booster</h6>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>However, some of these broiler boosters don’t do what they claimed to do. There are so many junks out there in the market claiming to be broiler booster, which when given to your chickens may cause more health hazards. Therefore, it is necessary you know the reputation of your vet store, their</p>
<p>clients, where they get their booster from.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To avoid buying low-quality broiler booster, I have compiled a list of the best broiler boosters suggest by one of the largest poultry <a href="https://web.facebook.com/groups/1056794884791630/permalink/1179386935865757">Facebook groups in Nigeria. ( with over 200k member)</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before will jump into it, let us see what is a broiler booster</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<h2><strong></strong></h2>
<h2><strong></strong></h2>
<h2><strong></strong></h2>
<h2><strong>What is a broiler Growth booster?</strong></h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>A broiler growth booster could be any drug or substance that encourages, improves, or promote the performance of broiler chickens, eg <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/6-best-multivitamins-for-poultry-in-nigeria/">vitamins and minerals</a>, <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/8-natural-growth-boosters-promoters-for-broilers-that-actually-worked/">some natural growth booster,</a> antibiotics, etc. These broiler growth boosters are mostly in liquid or powder (water-soluble) form formulated by a veterinarian nutritionist. A good broiler growth booster should be a mixture of a balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes amino acids, probiotics to help strengthen the bone and develop muscles rapidly. Unfortunately, most of the products in the market are short of this quality blend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Please wait! I know you are eager to see the best broiler growth booster list, but I want to correct a misconception before I proceed to the top best broiler growth boosters in Nigeria.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>What is the Misconception?</strong></h2>
<p></p>
<p>Most farmers think that growth booster is the “holy grail” to fast and rapid growth for broiler chickens. I often hear farmers ask, what is the best growth booster for broiler? I want my broiler to grow bright red wattle and comb, what drug or booster can I get, and when I hear these things I shake my head in dismay at what misinformation can cause. Booster is not a magic spare for rapid growth, however, they are a hand full of effective boosters in the market, despite many junks out there called growth boosters.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>A growth booster will not be effective if the chicken is sick, if it has a poor genetic make-up, if the feed quality is poor , if the welfare and management are below standard. Moreover, your broiler doesn’t need a growth booster if all these conditions are met. Growth booster is just the icing of the cake in broiler management. It is not a must, and not necessarily in attaining the <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/expected-weight-of-broiler-chicken-are-you-getting-it-right/">expected weight of your broiler chicken</a>.</p>
<p> </p>

<blockquote>
<h6>Broiler farm</h6>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>However, if you must use a growth booster, I advise you to consult your vet for proper prescription and withdrawal time. Besides, I asked for the opinion of broiler farmers in our Facebook group for their opinion of the best broiler growth booster in Nigeria. There were a few products mentioned, while some shared my opinion on the non-compulsory use of broiler growth booster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>From all the data I gathered, I have narrowed it down to 8 best broiler growth boosts in Nigeria (of course you have the right to object my list), although, we have other boosters that are very good as well, but l have to make do with the available data I have based on peoples’ opinion, my experience and extensive research on some few growth boosters. I placed the 8 boosters into 3 categories;</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Category 3 are those mentioned by broiler farmers on social media</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Category 2 are the ones I have used in my broiler farm, and</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Category 1 are those ones that have undergone extensive experiment and have been proven to be effective.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok, enough of the talk, let get down to the list</p>

<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>(Melegy et al, 2010) in their experiment titled, “ <a href="http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.857.7201&rep=rep1&type=pdf">Dietary Fortification of Natural Biosurfaltant Lysolecithin in Broiler’</a>’, included lysoforte booster in a day-old broiler chick (cobb 500 strain ) diet starter and grower-finisher at the rate of 250g or 500g/ton of feed for 6 weeks.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>At the end of the experiment, they concluded that the dietary fortification of lysoforte booster can improve the broiler productivity, modify carcass quality and formulate cheaper diets with reduced energy and amino acids without any adverse effect on broilers overall performance.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lysoforte Booster ® is composed mainly of lysophosphatidic choline (Lysolecithin), recognized as a natural absorption enhancer and manufactured by Kemin Europa, Herentals, Belgium.</p>

</div>Poultry vaccination and schedule in Nigeria for layers and broilers2020-09-08T11:12:33+00:002024-03-28T16:09:27.837205+00:00Samuel Ezenwankwohttps://example.com/blog/author/chidi/https://example.com/blog/Poultry-vaccination-and-schedule-in-Nigeria-for-layers-and-broilers/<p><span>Poultry Vaccination is the first line of action in preventing poultry diseases, especially in Nigeria where highly pathogenic poultry diseases are prevalent. The prevalency of poultry diseases differs between regions/countries. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p>This is because some environmental factors like temperature and farmers' practices influence the distribution of these pathogens. Therefore it is pertinent you make use of a poultry vaccination schedule that suits your country/region. <br/><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>In Nigeria however, most farmers in rural areas don’t vaccinate their birds, the few who do, don’t follow standard vaccination procedures, and such practices could lead to <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/Poultry-vaccination-and-schedule%20for%20layers%20and%20Broilers/" title="3 possible reasons for vaccine failure in poultry">vaccine failure</a> as well as creating a breeding ground for endemic poultry diseases such as Newcastle disease, coccidiosis, Infectious bursal disease (IBD), Marek, Salmonella, etc. </span></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<p><span> Nevertheless, in vaccinating your birds in Nigeria, you should make sure in the first 4 week</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>You vaccinate against the major diseases: ND, IBD, Marek, Salmonella. For the early onset of immunity to ensure protection.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>In the next 10 weeks vaccinate against ND, IB, AE, Coryza, <a href="https://www.poultryfarmguide.com/blog/fowl-pox-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention/">fowlpox</a>, ILT, EDS, Salmonella- some of these vaccines may not be compulsory at this stage, except the disease is endemic or prevalent in your area.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>Correct intervals between the various vaccinations are required. Find out from your supplier/hatchery, Instructions for vaccination. </span></li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p><span>The poultry vaccination schedule below is what I am using, and my birds have been doing just fine. But you should ask from your hatchery, most hatcheries in Nigeria have their vaccination schedules/programs with a slight difference in the time of administration.</span></p>
