I will be glad to teach interested and determined people how to rear quail birds....the seminar is free for all,so we can promote agriculture as this is the best and quickest way to empower our youths and job seeking graduates.....other farm exploits are rearing of pigs,snails,bullets,turkeys,layers,broilers,etc....but as youths;it is cool to start small and easy so you safe yourself the risk of having hypertension....I worked in the obasanjo's farm and I know exactly what I'm saying....u can reach me on 08169552020 or djdox_anthony@yahoo.com....let's just talk business and progress...We on our own should empower ourselves and stop waiting for the government to do so...I started farm business in a sitting room;where I reared quail birds and today I can boast of having a 4plots of land where I combine rearing of other livestocks within a year....this is just to encourage you guys that you should not underestimate the power of AGRICULTURE...I recently created a page on facebook so peeps can like and get updated,www.facebook.com/princedoxxfarmsLTD; I shall also be posting on here frequently....cheers

Lolm..no payment bro...we could do our serminar here....its very simple tew learn and I shall be uploading pictures too...when d population of interested people hits 100,I would post the time and location...stay tuned

Where do I start from now?ok...lemme see!I wanna give out a well detailed survey on d profit of quail farming...nairalanders have been asking tew know dis...now dis is it:let's say yew having 200k for ur business...now assuming yew av ur land and housing intact...now,tew always get 10crates of egg on a daily basis will require yew tew av 300female birds.i.e 30eggs make 1 crate,so 30*10:300birds.....now taking consideration of mortality rate,cracks due tew carelessness and other miscellaneous losses,we add 50 more female birds tew make 350females.
To know the number of males tew stock with the females,its done in ratios...and it best done at 1:2.5....I.e for err 10females,u stock 4males;100females,u stock 40males...so now dat we have 350 females,yew stock 140males
350females:140males
Buying ur birds at d rate of #1000each would cost yew #49000
For their feeding,I use Topman feeds for layers...and dis is sold for #2,500.yew feed ur birds twice daily...in d morning and in d evening around 5pm.have a steay measurement for their feeds.having a total of 490birds will consume 10bags of feeds in a month exaggeratingly.10bags would then cost #25000 for a month.
Vaccination and multivitamins is given to them once in a month and dis would cost about #2000 exaggeratingly.
Other miscellaneous which could include running costs,exaggeratingly-#10,000.....
INCOME:A crate of quail eggs go for 500 or 600,700 or 800 or 900 or 1000 or 1100 or 1200 or 1300 blah blah blah...depending on d relationship u av wif ur customers...buh let's say u are selling at d lowest price wch is #500...
Now,yew get 10crates daily from ur birds,
7days would give:7 * 10:70crates weekly;70*500:#35,000
31 days make 1month;we have 10crates *31 days:310crates; 310*500:#155,000....this is ur expected income monthly from d sales of only ur eggs.
Now....adding up our total investments so far,we have:#49000+#25000+#2000+10000:#86000...
Now,gain : Income-investment(capital)....#155,000-#86000:#69,000gain.....no tym...lol
Dis #69,000 gain is jes for ur first month...other months would generate double of dat since there would be no need of adding the purchase made on d birds...yew only spend on others;
So other months profit would be #69000+#49000: #118,000....for d subsequent months ahead....mind yew dis illustration was done with the highest of risks...as I calculated profit based on jes 10crates while d birds produce more dan 10crates and the selling price of individual crate was done using d lowest amount....
So yew now see y quail farming is still d most profitable business in agriculture.....jes investing #86,000..
Any question? I am Prince doxx(08169552020)

Talking about the marketing of ur quail eggs depends solely on ur marketing skills and interpersonal relationship with people in the society.jes like any other business,if yew do not av a good relationship wif others,yew wouldn't be promoting ur biz.there are so many strategies of marketing...but I would site a very good one that I make use of.I make use of sales representatives to help sell,market and advertise the eggs.I started with one sales representative and he would go to different places with the eggs in a basket(5-10crates) to sell.from time to time he started selling over 10crates,and I employed one more representative tew also do d same job;their targets were individuals,hospitals,market women and of course cooperate bodies...before i knew it,I ran outta stock as d demand was higher than d supply,cos even moi customers bring more customers for moi by redirecting...I used to pay moi sales reps monthly. I hope I av been able tew answer ur question wif a very practical explanation of mine...I would be posting later how I got so much customers and creating more job opportunities in the next post...to be continued...is anyone following?
