Secrets to Making Huge Profits from Broilers With Just 100 Birds

As your farm is expanding, people's farms there are shrinking, and people are opting out of broiler farming. So we want to know from you, which tricks do you use to profit from broiler farming? And what advice do you have for our people, our small farmers out there, our large farmers out there? Alright, starting from that point, actually what I can say is that, what people don't know is that in poultry farming, broiler farming is the most profitable sector. I know people will agree with that. Disagree or agree? This is the most profitable segment within the poultry industry if you enter the broiler sector. Are you sure? Yes. Another thing is that there are just a few mistakes people make, and they end up losing out in this business. Because they might not examine some of the few things when they are starting up this business. First of all, when you are starting up this business, there are three major factors that will determine whether you will be in this business or not. You will leave this business very soon. First, people do not consider the breed type they are breeding on their farm. We actually have three breeds. We have Coop 500, we have Roos 308, and we have Habba Deficience Plus. And actually we even have Habba Eka, though it's quite rare in Uganda. So which one are you having? So right here, first we have the Coop 500. It's one of the best breeds capable of delivering results in a short amount of time. Okay. Yes. So besides the breed and how it works? Besides the breeds, there is the most challenging aspect, which is known as feeds. Oh, yeah. Feeds are very tricky because they account for approximately 60%. That's a massive percentage. Yes, 60% for you to be successful in this business. Whereby, farmers usually don't mind the cost of production, as we are bringing these birds here. Even find farmers who don't know how much that bird would consume. Of course. For a certain period of time. How are we supposed to know anyway? You even find farmers who don't know the specific waste targets they're supposed to meet at a certain time. You will find that if you want to sell a bird within 30 days, that bird will consume approximately 2.1 kg. If you want a bird weighing 2 kg, that bird will consume 3.3 kg of feed, which will take approximately 5 weeks. So what you're saying is, instead of focusing on the fact that I'm raising these birds in a month, I should focus on their weight. The first thing is that people should first know the amount of feed they need to invest in the number of birds they have. So the first little farmer should know, you don't have to be an expert, but at least you should know how much feed you're supposed to buy during a certain period of time. Most of our farmers here in Uganda are targeting a bird that is 30 days old, that is, one month. But they don't even know how much they should invest or how much feed they need to invest in their farms. So, if you want to sell within 30 days, that bird will only consume approximately 2.3 kg. To achieve 1.5, 1.6 kg That means if you have 100 birds, you only need 230 kg of feed to raise them over 30 days. But another tricky aspect, which farmers don't mind about, is the cost of production. You'll find that farmers who are feeding good feed are actually providing them with very expensive feeds. End up working for small profits. Now, farmers who want to reduce production costs will be found giving those birds low-quality feed. In the end, they will fail to achieve the target weights on time. That is the most difficult thing for our farmers here in Uganda. So now that we want to maximize profit, among us there are three things. Let's focus mostly on the cost of production. Yes, production cost. For instance, if you want to raise birds in 30 days, as I mentioned at the beginning, that bird will consume 2.3 kg over that period. That means 100 birds will consume 230 kilograms of feed. But these birds require specific levels of nutrients at different stages. For example, birds are fed starter feeds from day 1 to day 14. And that feed there has about 23% protein. From day 15 to day 21, birds will consume a feed known as grower feed. Then from day 21 until the day of selling it, that's when you start introducing finisher feeds. So there are usually two types of feeds on the market here. You can use either pellets, mash feed, or concentrates. So I'm going to talk more about the concentrate and a little bit about what? There is a movement that is underway. Most companies are advising broiler farmers to use pellets. What's your advice on that? Since the pellet is fully assembled, every nutrient is concentrated within this single particle. It doesn't take much energy for the bird to consume. Scientifically, pellets will be a better feed for these broiler birds. But now the problem is that this is a business. Pellet is a complete feed. They are usually carried out with these large corporations and professionals. But the problem we find is that, in the end, the pellets are extremely expensive. You might find that each kilogram of a pellet costs approximately... The starter feed is 3,000 kg. Grower feed is 2,700. Then the finisher feed is 2,500. At the end of the day, if you use only pellets, You will find out that you are working for a small margin of profits. About 1,000? About 1,000 on a bird. Usually. And I think I've invested approximately one million. Wow. A hundred birds are buying around 1,000 or 12,000. That's not business. It isn't. But for us here, what we use, we feed pellets for only one week. Then, after one week, we begin to formulate it ourselves using our concentrate. Oh, you have your concentrate? Yes, we have a focus on markets. It amounts to 175,000 kg. Okay. Yes. I think you must have seen my reaction. They are having their own concentration. Yes, yes. And they're making it right here, from Uganda. Yes, from Uganda. That's something. If you who are watching us know, you know that most of these concentrates are being imported. Most of them. If not all of them, they are being imported from abroad. And you know what that means for the people importing these concentrates. It means they have to ensure they remain in business. That's why you're buying those concentrates at the price you're paying for them. But it's actually great news that these people are using their own feed. They made them themselves and are using them on the birds. Alright, let's continue the conversation. I'm really intrigued to find out. Yes, for instance, we invest around 9,000 shillings over 30 days. No way. Yes, and we find that selling that bird at 13,000 shillings yields a profit of 4,000 shillings. But the reason behind it is that we are more concerned about our feed production costs. That's why I want to go. I'm here just to share a few little secrets about what we use here on the farm. Okay. And what a farmer should do to also check out of themselves on how they can maximize production on their farms. So for us here, since the feeds consumed by these birds are well known, We can easily calculate the amount of feed the bird will need per week. For example, one bird will consume 0.175 grams. With the right breed. From day zero to day seven, with the right breed. So if you are to account for approximately 100 birds, Let us try to calculate together here. So you do 0.175 times 100. So, a bird here will need 17.5 kg of starter feed. So what we do is round off, that is 18. So in 100 birds, we'll buy only 18 kilograms of starter feed, which are pellets. So 18, usually at the market, one kg of pellet feed is around 3,000. So that is 54,000. Alright. Let me help you get your piece of paper and your pen in your hands. Yes. Okay. Then in the second week, we begin formulating our own feed. But once again, we formulate the starter feed. Okay. But using our protein source, as I told you, we will use 37%. Okay. Concentrate them, 63% maize. But in that second week, a bird will consume approximately 0.325 grams. So if you have 100 birds, you'll do 0.325 times 100. So that is 32.5. But we round off to 33. So 33. 33 kg But as I told you, if you want to mix your own starter using our protein source, You will use 37% of the concentrate. Then 63% will be maize. Yes. So if you want to get 37%, you do 33 times 37%. That is 12 kilograms. But we have to formulate 33 kg. So you do 33 minus 12. So you will get 21 kg of maize and then 12 kg of what? Of the protein source. Yes, of the protein source. So the pricing of that feed will be, right now, maize is around 1,120 shillings. 21 times 120. Then plus 12 times our protein source will cost us 3,500. 12,250,000 That is 65,000. But to get the cost of feed per kilogram, You get this amount divided by 33. So our 1 kg of starter feed will cost us 1,985 shillings. So if you were to subtract how much you've saved on the 3,000, That is 3,000 minus 1,985. So you're saving 1,000 shillings per kilogram of feed. Per kilogram? Yes. With your protein source? Yes, with our protein source. Wow. So after that, when the bird reaches 14 days, We go to the feed coder's drawer. But we know that during that period, a bird will consume 0.64 between 14 and 21 days. So 0.64, we go to 0.64 times 100. So we will need 64 kg of what? Of feed. So 64 kg of feed times... If you want to formulate a grower feed for yourself, Our protein source has to be 35%. So 64 times 35% to get the amount of concentrate you need. That means you need 22. That's 42 kilograms. Is this 20? Yes. So 64 times, as I told you, the current production cost of maize. Yes. Then plus our constant. So that means 14. So divide by 64. No, first wait. So... 46 is 64. 64 times 35%. So maybe we only need 22. 22 22 of the protein. So 42 times 110. Then plus 22 times 3500. Yes. Then divide by 64. Then there, our cost of production per kilogram will be... 1,938 shillings Yes. Then our finisher will cost us... From the 21 days to the dove cell. At what point are we selling them off? We want to sell within 30 days. And you want to see the cost of production. Okay. You get. So we shall, as I told you at first, The bird will consume 2.3 kg. Within 30 days? Yes. So 0.5 for the first two weeks. Add 0.36 to determine the amount of feed remaining. That is 1.14. So you do 2.3 minus 1.14. Meaning we have to devise a finishing move, which is 1.16 times 100. That is 116 kilograms of feed we need. So to get the amount of protein you need, You do 1.16 times 30%. That's about 35 kilograms. 35, yes. 81 times 1120. Then plus 35 times 35. This is a constant. So divide by 116. So the cost of production will be 11,838. Per kilogram Yes. The cost of feed per kg will be 1,838 shillings. So if you are to calculate the amount of money You've invested in those birds. You started with 54, if you can remember. Then we went to 65,000. Then we went to around 12,000. That one. Then we went to 216,000. Not so? So each bird will consume... Okay, 100 birds will consume 455,000. So if you are to add, Let's say we bought that bird for 3,000. That means we would have spent 300,000 on those birds. Yes, that is 300. Plus that, 150. Why that? Those are other expenses. Vaccines, litter, transportation. So let us add 150,000. Okay. So you will find that the cost of feed is 9,000. Wow. So if you were to sell this bird at one, right now, those birds that are in demand, You will find that you will make a profit of approximately 4,000 to 3,900. On each bird? On each bird. You get. But most of our farmers here, They are making mistakes in the feeds. Because feed accounts for approximately 60% for you to succeed in this business. So if you don't mind about the feed, You have not yet found these problems. Wow. Yes. So the issue is the mistake they make with the feeds. Yeah, the mistake they make with the feed. For example, buying the expensive concentrates? Yeah. You find that farmers are purchasing expensive feed. and they end up working for minimal profits. Another thing, you will find that farmers, if he opts for an expensive protein source, You will end up mixing it in the wrong way. How? For example, 35-30% It means those are inclusion rates. But you will find someone telling him that for us, our concentrate, We need to obtain 150 kilograms of maize. and put in 50 kg of what? And add 50 kg of concentrate there. That is already incorrect. There you are allowed approximately 25%, Yet the instruction on the bag indicates 35-30%. Wow. That's why farmers end up doing what? Losing a lot of maize grain. But do you know why they do that? So here in Uganda, You will find that we have a lot of inexperienced people. in this field of feed. Everyone wants to start a business. Even those people who know, They will end up providing farmers with incorrect information. And in fact, if you were to observe, Now most farmers are turning to pellet feeds. They no longer wish to trust concentrates. But it's not because the concentrates are not working, but it's because the information which are given to them by their doctors is actually incorrect. Yes. But the breeder business is the most profitable business. That's what I can assure you all. So according to our calculations, Someone is able to make amazing money. Yes. Around 400? Approximately 400. 400 in 30 days. But if you want to earn more money, That means you're going to keep those birds. for a longer period Yes. You will find that if you keep that bird for perhaps six weeks Profits will also increase. How? In six weeks, You might find that you need only 12,000 to raise that bird up to three kilograms. Up to 30 days, you need 9,000? Yes, up to 30 days, you need 9,000. Up to approximately 42 days, You will need 12,000. Then up to around, Some of them last up to 49 days. Up to 49 days, we need 17,000 So you can calculate. Are those what you call heavy birds? Yes, those are called heavy birds. So how can I make money from them? People are starting or encouraging them To breed fertile birds. Those are the easiest birds. Yes. Those are the easiest birds. So if I want to take it one step further and I want to do heavy birds, How do I sell them? Do I sell live birds? dressed ones? That's a good question. Now, for example, here, First, our target is heavy birds. Okay. As you can see. These birds here are ready in five weeks. and they're already two kilograms But we are still keeping them at the farm. For us, our target weights, We want to raise them up to three kg to 2.8. Our target carcass weight is two kilograms. Okay. So we want to sell each bird for 20,000 shillings. So 20,000 minus our cost of production which will be 12,000. So I think you can do the calculations. Yes, and here we have 2,000 birds. Wow. So you'll find that you'll need Not much money is needed to raise these birds. Yes. Wow, interesting. You have seen where we are going wrong. with the Breyler farming. It's not that you need a lot of birds. to benefit from Breyler Farming but from his calculations, I can actually say that Breyler farming is... This is the best business. a small farmer can start with Yes. First of all, You don't need a lot of income to start. And another thing, this bird here, given that you have the correct information, You can easily be calculating. And it has the market. The market is available. The market is over. But one thing I've taken away from this video is What are you feeding your birds? If there is an alternative... Actually, the reason why I have even traveled from Kampala to here is the fact that we have someone Who is doing something from here? Yes. It means he won't charge us for the taxes. He is going to incur, what, what. It means he is going to give us this protein source at a lower price which is approximately... How much do you charge? A 50 kg bag? 175,000 Imagine if you were saving that. And it's not that it doesn't work. You know something about us Ugandans that I'm not trying to market but we believe in it so deeply something that has come outside it's more powerful than What has been made here? And another thing, Sorry to interrupt, this protein source here, This is the first protein source. made by an average Ugandan. That means we have also taken a step forward. You see, these guys here in Uganda have brainwashed our people that things which are made here from Uganda They are not working. People have gone to school, People have done a lot of research. So right now we can do these things here At our home, and we strive to maximize profits. Because when you think about it, What are the ingredients in a concentrate? That is soy which is in Uganda. We have sunflower here in Uganda. lime powder, all those things because our protein source here We are actually using readily available raw materials here in Uganda. We want to make sure that each and every person who is in this business Here's getting some little money from this broiler farming To bring back the love of what? From farming to our people. And of course I can't go any further than that. Just make sure You know what you're feeding your birds. and it's not eating into your small profit in any way And this should be something you can trust And do you think it will work for you? At the end of the day. And of course if you want to access this protein source which has been tried on experimented on and it's working The birds are healthy and healthy. His number is going to be linked. somewhere in the description below and of course we need to support our fellow Ugandans If you are still patriotic toward your country You know you will have to support it your brother who has done this and he is a graduate from Makerere That's so impressive, you know. Alright, until next time Keep supporting Uganda Made in Uganda by Uganda
