FEGEOSTOM Poultry farm involves in the commercial production of poultry birds. We specialize in the husbandry of turkey, chicken, duck, geese, pigeon, and games birds. Our poultry farm is a start-up poultry that produces quality and affordable poultry products and by-products such as eggs and meats which is processed and packaged to meet local and global standards.
Poultry business is a great choice for us as it represents an excellent choice of protein. Of all the birds, chicken is the most reared in all poultry businesses, hence, like most other farms in Nigerian, we rear chicken predominantly.
We breed layers for their eggs while broilers and cockerel are bred for their meat. Broilers have a lump of more tender meat when compared to the cockerel. They also mature faster and fetch a better price in the market than cockerels. Our poultry farm also consists of the hatchery which is where poultry eggs are hatched. Hence, we sell birds hatched within the last twenty-four hours are called day-old
The market for poultry in Nigeria is enormous. Hardly will you find a practice (religious, medical) that prohibit the sales or use of poultry product. In fact, it is being directly and indirectly promoted for consumption during local festivals, Easter, Christmas, New Year, Id El-Fitri and Eid Kabir all promote the consumption of poultry products. Sales recorded at those times of the year are usually high.
Apart from the festive period, restaurants, grill shops, hotels, and other catering outlets rely on poultry meats and eggs for food and snacks like chicken suya, scotch eggs, egg roll, chicken burger, egg soup and salad. Eggs are also used in pastries for leavening and an ingredient for hair shampoo.

Location
It is located in Mowe area of Ogun state. An area with a relatively stable climate. The poultry is safe from extreme heat and cold which increases mortality rate. It is located far away from the residential and industrial areas. It is also far from other competing poultry farms – the closest being around 7km.
Housing
We employ two major housing systems for our poultry farm. They are deep litter and battery cage.
Deep litter is less expensive to set up and easy to manage. This is the housing system used for the broilers for poultry meat production. Sawdust is used as the litter and it is changed regularly. The waste is then sold to other agricultural farmers for organic manure.
The second housing system, battery cage, is a bit more expensive to build when compared to the deep litter system. Our cages are set up for the birds with water and food trough. We use this housing system for layers which allows the eggs to be easily collected in the cage rails, free of dirt and poultry faeces and safe from being broken.
Heater is also available to keep the birds warm during cold weather conditions.

Why you should invest in poultry farming
The significance of poultry farming (products and byproducts) to Nigeria’s economy cannot be overstressed. Nigeria poultry farms haven’t been able to meet the demand for animal protein consumed in the nation. Apart from being one of the best sources of animal food, it also creates employment opportunities.
This setup will employ as many as 50 direct labours and hundreds of indirect labours. For example, shop owners, fumigators, meat sellers, restaurants and other retailers will experience a flow of profits. The number of employment opportunities will also increase as the business grows.
The planning and development of this business have been ongoing for about a year. Research and tests have also been carried out with success registered. Hence, the successful launching of this business will tilt the scale to favour the indigenous population.
