How to manage a poultry business

Poultry birds with proper housing are expected to be treated in a strictly hygienic way. A good and clean atmosphere should be provided with adequate ventilation. The farm should be free from diseases and pests. Layers require regular temperatures. Chicken farms are managed by poultry farm supervisors, supervising tasks such as caring for the chickens, keeping records of animal growth and developing budgets.

I do manage poultry. The reality about managing poultry business will have a lots to do with having a basic knowledge about poultry. The important thing to learn is to learn how to study the behaviour of the birds and give them their drugs as at when due.
 
I have seen many people who are into poultry business
Most of them buys the poultry on credit and pays back after selling the poultry
That's not how to do a business, you should look for some money to buy your poultry yourself and not on credit
To be successful in a poultry farming you have to always treat your poultry and inject them.

It seems your friend doesn't have any experience from poultry business before entering into it, he needs to find a mentor to tutor him on what to do to fully succeed, alternatively if he can't handle the business himself then he needs to find an expert who has a lot of previous experience to be helping him do it and then he would pay him based on aggrement.

I don't think this has solve the problem at hand.

The chickens are dieing and the only solution I think is for him to reduce the chicken he is breeding for now so has to reduce the losses from the business cos if he doesn't have the time to take care of the chickens, he may lose money trying to breed them.
 
In poultry, you either focus on egg production or meat production. For high investments and people who are just starting out, I advice seeking the services of a poultry farm consultant. This fowls are very fragile and do not like their temperatures to go extreme. A little too high or two low always affects them this the deaths.
He should also ensure he vaccinate them against harmful diseases like flu and new castle who are very deadly.

Poutry farming is very profitable if well done.
First of all it needs space,whereby the chicken should not be suffocated in a small room but needs space .
He should know the right way and method to treat those chicken incase of a disease and should be aware of the kind of food he should feed them
 
Your friend needs the help of a doctor; a veterinarian. He also needs to ensure his poultry is spacious as to his bird roam around freely and curtail spread of diseases on his farm.

Great idea, I think if he can get a plot or two, it should be enough, if the chicken are upto 500 or maybe a thousand, then I would recommend a bigger space.

Well for someone who have been doing the business for long, I think he should have enough space for the chicken and also get a good animal doctor
 
Managing a poultry farm is very challenging because it one is dealing with livestocks which are delicate and they require a lot of time to man age proper. So the first thing to always consider to be success in poultry is the technical know how and the right resources or capital to manage the business.
 
To me managing a poultry farm it's more easy than a fish farm. All you need is your capital your land forget about the knowledge you can get it anywhere in fact it's way easy to get knowledge about poultry nowadays as there are schools that are ready to cheat you at the particular amount of money within a particular time let's say like two weeks and managing it is more easy as all you need is to teach your children one or two things or your younger ones even when you are not around you are rest assured that your poultry is okay.
