Hello guys. Are you planning to set up a poultry farm and you don't know how to go about it
0:06
Well, in this video, we'll be talking on some basic points that you would consider before setting up a poultry farm
0:14
Well, my name is Job and this is Oto's Farm. Well, as the title suggests, we're talking on some basic points that you have to consider
0:32
before setting up a poultry farm and which are passion. You need to have passion in a poultry farm
0:44
So, as we're talking about passion, first ask yourself, is this what I love doing
0:53
Because there are some challenges you will face as a poultry farmer, which include sicknesses
1:03
You can come one day and find your chick not eating, which can lead to death
1:10
or not drinking water. Also, you can get up one day and find out that prices of feed have increased
1:19
which you never planned for, which can lead you to feel discouraged
1:26
That is why we say passion is required. The second is availability. You have to be available at all times
1:37
especially when starting up a poultry farm. You might have some other job which can be
1:45
fueling the business, but here at Oto's Farm, we want to encourage you to be available
1:53
if not at all times, but most of the time. Being available will help you check if your
2:00
workers are working well. You can check if the temperature is okay for the chicken. You can check
2:08
if the litters are wet or dry. You can also check if they have food on their plates. Also
2:16
being available can help you check if there is water, and all this can prevent losses
2:27
The next point is talking about location. You don't have to be too close to your community
2:33
because people might be complaining of you polluting the area. Also, you don't need to be too far away from the community because it will cost you more
2:47
of transportation, costing you more to transport your feed to your poultry or your birds to the
2:55
market. Another aspect is water. You have to check on your location if you have a good potable water
3:03
good for your chicks. That will help you to cut down the cost of transportation or buying water
3:14
which in the long run also will be talking about marketing. Marketing is one of the most important
3:23
aspects in a poultry business. We know as a beginner in a poultry business
3:31
you have some difficulties or some challenges when doing your marketing. But here at Otto's Farm, we love to encourage you to do some research
3:44
on marketing. You can go around your community and create customer relationships with restaurants
3:54
hotels, bakeries, so that when your products are ready, you'll be able to sell as fast as possible
