How does your annual profit change under these conditions?
Nigeria is Africa's largest poultry market with 180 million+ egg consumption. Feed costs account for 60–70% of total production costs. State-level input subsidy schemes are available. The broiler sector is concentrated around Lagos, Ogun, and Kano states.
+ What is FCR and why does it matter?
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) is the kg of feed required to produce 1 kg of live weight gain. An FCR of 2.0 means 2 kg of feed produces 1 kg of growth. Feed accounts for 60–70% of broiler costs — improving FCR from 2.5 to 2.0 can increase profit by 20–30%.
+ Broilers vs Layers — which is more profitable?
Broilers are faster (7-week cycles, revenue every 2 months) but margins are thinner. Layers require 18 weeks of investment before any eggs, but generate daily income for 54 weeks. Use the Compare All mode to see the numbers side-by-side for your specific flock size and country.
+ How is payback period calculated?
Payback period = (Total investment + working capital) ÷ Annual net profit. A 12-month payback means you recover all your startup costs in one year. For broilers with existing housing, payback is often 3–6 months. For layers with new housing, expect 12–24 months.
