Let me write another new post in this article to learn how you can start animal feed business in Nigeria and to make good profit selling different types of kgs in package to small livestock/chickens🐔 farmers.
Let me begin with the animal farming business in this introduction. Animal feed is a lucrative business in West Africa. The feed must contain nutritional contents that will add to value of the livestock. The nutritional composition depends on the types of animal.
Marker Potential
If we see the product as a suitable alternative, it will be highly demanded by livestock. Livestock involves poultry, fish and cattle. Decide which livestock you want to feed to make money.
Raw Materials
For 100kg of animal feed in divide: 20kg of maize, 20kg of millet, 30kg of sorghum, 10kg of dried fish, 10 kg of groundnut cake, kernel cake, 5kg of cassava chips and 5kg of Oyster shell. And these raw materials, you can get it at the popular Bodija market if you live in Oyo State. Or you can get it directly from animal-feed process company or feed wholesale distributors
Machinery and Equipment
All you need to mix animal feeds in processing is: hammer mill machine, weighing scale, bowl and mixer, packaging materials. They all are cheap. You can get it at a feed farming company at Ogunpa road, Dugbe.
Manpower Requirement
Two personnel are required to carry out a small scale production in your business.
Production Process In Steps
Step1: Add maize, millet, sorghum, dried fish, groundnut cake, palm kernel cake, cassava chips and oyster shell together
Step 2: Pour the mixture into the hammer mill machine.
Step 3: Then mill the ingredients. And measure the product accordingly before packaging into the required packaging bags from livestock customers.

FQs on Answer
1. How Profitable is the Animal Feed Business?
It is 100% profit because the product is demanded for by the livestock daily. It will make you rich if you walk in this opportunity. It is hot. Try it and see yourself. Do you think livestock do not need mixed animal feeds for their food? It seems important to them.
They will consume it daily. They will break it quickly. That gives you the opportunity to start the business if you have the financial capacity.
2. How to Start a Poultry Feed Business in Nigeria?
Simple! What you can do to start the business is to go to the livestock feed wholesale distributor and buy half of a bag each like mazie, millet, etc or full each, depending on your financial capacity.
Then pour into the mixture of a machine, according to customers’ requirement of kg. The third is to measure the kg in the weighing machine to see how much the kg is according to the requirements of customers and how much the kg in the measured scale is.
Then sell it to customers for animal feed. All you need is to establish a shop outside your community where there is a lot of traffic on the road.
3. How Much Is 50kg Poultry Feed in Nigeria?
The measured number of the kg in the weighing scale will answer you how much you charge your customers for the kg. The kg of the measured number is multiplied by Naira which answers you. Ask any poultry feed processor and they will answer you.
4. Is Chicken 🐔 Feed Business Profitable In Nigeria?
Yes. I say BIG YES because everywhere in this country, Nigerian low-income earners demand feed for children daily in their store for use or future Christmas at home. It is called a saver because of the cost they can not buy chicken from the sellers at the popular international market for Christmas 🌲 or use.
And the cost of the chicken drives some low-income earners into their own chicken use at home they feed two times every day. That is where you can walk in as a feed processor or dealer or wholesale distributor/small trader. That is your choice. Most small chicken feed business owners use the business to build their own beautiful buildings/to buy fine vehicles. Yes. Try it and see it yourself.
