Am mike cherono and I have been involved in poultry farming for the 18 months. Currently am pursuing a degree in project planning and management at Moi university, I have been using the funds from the poultry project to foot my school fee. So after my campus life I am planning to to enter fully into agribusiness. So far I have 250 layers and 100 broilers. I usually produce about ten crates of eggs per day which I usually sell to some local shops in my neighborhood. Once my broilers have attained 1.2kg, I usually slaughter them and supply them to a local hotel and butchery in town after eight weeks. Personally I plan to start rearing dairy cattle’s in the near future. So I plan to use the loan to enlarge my business.
Our competitive edge is that we specialize in organic farming. Consumers are increasingly aware of health living and prefer our free-ranged poultry products to the exotic caged breeds. Also, Improved indeginous chicken has equally good maturity, weight gain, & production rate but are more resistant to diseases.
I would like to thank zidisha for this wonderful opportunity to publish my loan request. I intend for half of the money that’s around 50 USD to booking for a new batch of broilers chicks and the rest of the I would use to repair the poultry house, layering boxes and buy new drinkers.
