Starting Poultry Farming FAQ
Is poultry farming profitable in Uganda?
Yes it is. The margins depend on how much you are investing, how well you take care of your farm and whether you are keeping birds for eggs or for meet. In this video, I used a case study of 2,000 birds kept for meet. The profitability depends on final weights for the mature birds and how many die before they are sold.
How much money do I need to start a poultry farm?
The major cost driver is the construction. For a farm of 2,000 birds for meat, you will spend about 13,000,000Ugx on construction. The cost of day old chicks is betwen 2,300Ugx to 2,500Ugx. Watch this video as well as download this excel sheet to play around with the numbers.
How can I start a poultry farming business?
Do you have land or any experience with poultry farming? The best thing to do is visit a number of already established poultry farmers, so you can get a hands on feel of how the business runs. This video and excel sheet will happen you to get an idea of what sort of investment you would be looking at, as well as the profitability expected.
How long do Broilers take to mature?
They take between 32 days to 42 days to be between 1.5kgs to 2Kgs which are the best weights to have a profitable business. Anything more than 42 days will start eating into your profitability. Sweet spot is day 35.
