Unless you choose to, you will not need to borrow money from the bank to start broiler farming and succeed; the only thing you will need is to follow instructions and play to the rules of the business.
In our last article on poultry farming business we dealt with Kuroiler chicken farming; in it we discussed the origin of Kuroiler chicken specie and its importance in the poultry farming world.
It is the result of crossing broiler with the exotic pullet specie. The question you should ask yourself is; why do they need to cross broiler with exotic pullet (layer) specie to produce Kuroiler?
The answer is simple; the broiler chicken specie is the king of chicken in producing meat and it is currently the fastest growing chicken specie in the poultry industry.
In Nigeria today, I have seen many poultry farmers selling matured broilers hitting 3kg at the age of six (6) weeks. It is happening in many farms, but you must play by the rules in order to achieve such results.
What is Broiler Chicken?
Broilers are types of chicken reared specially for the purpose of meat. Though there are some companies that specialize in farming broilers for egg production. Of course that’s how farmers get their Day Old Chicks (DOC) for their poultry business. If there are no DOCs, there will not be poultry farming, so it is important to know that broiler farming can also be for eggs and not meat alone.
Types of Broiler chicken available in Nigeria
In Nigeria there are quite some broilers species that are available, but all over the world there still may be more than what we currently have in our dear country.
The following species are more popular among broiler poultry farmers than others:
Cornish Cross Broilers: Also known as Cornish Rock, it is the fastest growing specie of broiler chicken in the industry, and it is also the most productive of all the breeds. Reason being that it has high growth rate and does well with cheap and low-density feeds. Cornish Cross Broilers take between six to eight weeks to grow to maturity, and that is why most poultry famers prefer it to other breeds of broilers. They have mostly white feathers and genetically yellow skin. This breed is a result of crossing a Cornish with a Plymouth Rock; its fast growing quality makes it very cost effective for farmers when you consider the high cost of feeds in the country. It also has a very good feed conversion rate as can be attested to by experienced broiler poultry farmers.
Grinphield Marshall Broilers: This breed of broilers also takes between 6-8 weeks to mature to table size. They usually grow tall and big and is reputed to be disease resistant. Small scale poultry farmers are advised to rear this breed because it grows fast and big, therefore is more presentable in the marketplace giving the opportunity to recover their investment quickly.
The Ideal Red Broilers: This breed of broilers is noted to grow slower than other breeds but has stronger resistance to diseases than other breeds. You can grow this breed easier outdoors than other types. They have longer legs than other faster growing breeds.
Moyer’s K-22: The Moyer’s K-22 breed of broiler is loved by chicken meat consumers because of its reputation of having lean meet and less fat. The meat also has special fragrance and tender texture. It can weigh up to 2.27kg in about 6-10 weeks; making it a very slow growing breed, but the meat is excellent and a delight with consumers.
Ross 308: This breed is very popular in Nigeria; it has high growth rate and very good feed efficiency management. The chicken can weigh up to 2kg in 6 weeks if properly fed. Ross 308 is loved by poultry meat consumers the world over
