Poultry farming is a lucrative business entity that gives high returns in shorter times with less operational costs involved.
However before starting a poultry farming business always make research about capital, farming practices, management and monitoring systems to avoid losses and it is usually a good idea to start small and re invest in order to expand the operations. Furthermore different poultry breeds have different times of giving back returns for example egg producing birds give returns after 30 days while broilers give returns between 6-8 weeks.
