Most challenges face by poultry farmer are diseases control. Most poultry birds die due to diseases. So farmers tends to look for means to do proper poultry cleaning, and is time consuming. Also the stress of getting birds in and out during cleaning is frustrating, and birds die during the process.

My uncle is a poultry farmer. He had many challenges too, the poultry wasn't secure enough and snakes creep in at night and swallow the eggs.
The business was very stressful and time consuming, he tried to manage it on his own but couldn't so he hired a worker to help him.

In poultry form, we have to face a lot of many challenges. Because we have to keep a lot of it so that no bird gets sick. And very big cleaning has to be done and the dosage needs to be taken care of. In my view, doing business of agile form is a very difficult task because it costs a lot of money and you have to keep a lot of attention and we have to work ourselves And those who work also have to keep it.

Yes you are true.Poultry form gives a lot of profit no doubt but the poultry farmers have to face a lot of challenges. Sometimes the poultry birds become sick due to illness and the poultry farmers have to expend a lot of money for their treatment.

many people think a poultry farm is just mainly for chickens, but that is wrong, a standard poultry farm should consist of all types of birds
and one of the challenges I have noticed about poultry farming is the challenge of the health of the birds
Not everyone knows how to take care of the birds
So to avoid such challenges you need to set out time to learn how to treat the birds well or you can hire someone who can

Considering the rampant nature of poultry business especially in African countries , one of the major challenge poultry farmers , especially those that rear bird is market . Some don't easily get enough market due to competition from other poultry owners

 

[Adegbindin Abdullahi]

Disease and parasites is a great problem when it come to poultry business, lack of finance. If a farmer doesn’t have enough money to buy feeds and drugs for his poultry, then there is tendency that he looses some of his poultry

 

[Trexxxy]

Lack of capital. When there is isn't enough capital to start the business properly, you have a wobbled set up, this leads to a lot of managerial problems. Another challenge is having the right structure in place, also an outbreak of strange illness is another major problem.

I think you've highlighted most of the challenges been faced by poultry farmer's. Other problem I think poultry farmer's face is lack of available market to sell their eggs and broilers to and bad roads. Bad roads can cause a whole lots of damage to eggs while transporting it from the poultry farm to the expected location for sale and another challenge is getting market to sell off the produce

There are loads of challenges facing a poultry farmer or investor..one of the major challenge is knowledge of the business..most people do not have an in dept knowledge about poultry before venturing in it.
Another one is disease control , and food for the birds..

 

[Ralphjoe]

There is a challenge of animals like snakes that swallow chicken egg and even kills them too. To combat this challenge it is pertinent for a poultry farmer to make sure he fumigate around it's poultry farm environment & also make sure there are no bushes around or grasses growing there.

There is no doubt that, in the business of poultry farm is high margin and profit but in the same fashion. there is also some hurdles and obstacles that have to manage in this business. Especially managing the food and shelter for chicken in cold winters.

The major challenge is financial problem. All the problems you highlighted can be solved with adequate money. The other one which is still natural is the issue of climatic condition and it can also be solved by regulating the temperature artificially.

One obvious risk I can immediately think about is Avian Flu. Although there are different strains that are not all deadly for humans they can all be spread by wild birds (currently South Africa can’t export any poultry, after an outbreak was detected at a single producer).

Also I believe the weather will have a significant impact on your business. If your poultry are free range and you supply limited housing etc, bad weather will affect them. If your poultry are kept indoors (factory type production), you have to control the tempearture (since these structure are usually not well insulated

I don't think money is the problem but money come first when you about to set up everything but after you set up everything, the major problem I think is customers, then demand of the goods (egg, fish etc), if you conquer all that I don't think you have any problem with that anymore because everything will be going smoothly just the drugs is must important also because if you couldn't take care of them well then there will be lots of problem
