Chicken processing and packaging into various products.
Processing broiler chickens and canning them in oil,soy sauce,tomato or just brine. The broilers are processed; washed,diced seasoned and boiled. The diced products are then packaged in oil,tomatoes,soy or just salt water.These are then packaged in cans,labelled and sold to stores.
The canned chicken is a handy meal for growing children, its a great travel meal as its cooked already ,just warm and serve.Read this
The business can be a cottage business or large scale depending on machinery and other logistics,but its a profitable venture.

AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS.
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS.
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS. The success of the venture depends on following strict health protocols that are wrapped around simple but effective bio security protocol.The health protocol involves vaccinations coupled with medications.The use of drugs take into consideration the withdrawal time,so as not to process birds with antibiotic residue for human consumption.
Vaccination refers to a method of disease prevention in healthy animals by challenging the animal with an attenuated/killed agent of a disease so as to elicit the production of antibodies.
When vaccinations are done properly and immunity conferred,the animal is said to have been immunized against such causative agents of disease.Vaccination though stimulates antibodies production to protect the animals ,but if not done properly ;the desired immunity will not be conferred.When immunity is not conferred,2 major causes are fingered.These are vaccine failure or vaccine break.
When immunity is not conferred due to vaccine break,the following are causes; 1)when the cold chain is broken; usually from point of sale to area you need them.The vaccines are to be transported in coolers with enough ice packs for the trip.The potency of the vaccines cant be guaranteed when this occurs,and when used the required immunity is not conferred.
2) when using inappropriate dilution and concentration; this nullifies any effect the vaccine should have on the birds.
3)when expired vaccines are used,definitely no immunity can be conferred.
While vaccine failure could occur in any of the following scenarios;1)using inappropriate dose; under/overdosing will not elicit any antibody reaction.
2)wrong dilution/route.
3)vaccination of sick birds.
4)stress on birds during handling especially in hot weather.
5)Use of chemicals along side the vaccines especially water purification solutions.
6)vaccinating birds when signs of diseases are visible in flock.
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS. Vaccinations,though very essential ,if not properly carried out will just be a waste of resources.
When planning to vaccinate; keep it simple.
1)place vaccine in ice pack.
2)engage qualified personnel.
3) use vaccine as directed by manufacturers.

AGRIBUSINESS: THE ROLE OF WATER IN POULTRY VALUE CHAIN.
AGRIBUSINESS: THE ROLE OF WATER IN POULTRY VALUE CHAIN. Water though a common commodity,its role in the success of the poultry value chain is very significant. Water is used in various capacities and at various levels.
The bio security protocols involve water,for mixing,dilutions of chemicals and washing tools and implements.
AGRIBUSINESS: THE ROLE OF WATER IN POULTRY VALUE CHAIN. WATER AS A PERFORMANCE INDICATOR IN POULTRY; 1)water is the most effective administration vehicle for drugs and vitamins.
2) water is a diluent for some vaccines to confer immunity on birds.
3)water is necessary for digestion, a chicken requires twice the amount of water to utilize every kg of feed.
4) water essential for metabolism,fecal elimination and temperature regulation.
5) The egg is about 65% water.
6) The chicken body weight is between 60-75% water depending on age and sex.
Water is key to proper growth and development,if birds are deprived of water they go into a moulting stage.This can be used to prolong laying period if properly controlled.Impurities and chemicals in water can cause severe mortalities.

HOW TO START PREMIUM PROCESSING CHICKEN BUSINESS.
The clamp down on importation of frozen poultry to the country has called for strategic planning and marketing of our home grown poultry.The poultry farmers are working relentlessly to ensure that the products are readily available and very affordable.
The farmers have joined forces with marketers,cold store operators and various marts.The farmers sell their products to the marketers,who in turn process for customers in the market.This is usually for customers that prefer to buy live chicken and process them.
The cold room operators have gone a step further,by liaising with farmers and procuring live chicken which they process and package the chicken for customers.These are presented as full chicken,quarter or half chicken,they also sell in parts depending on the taste of the client.
These type of home processed chicken can easily be recognized as the feathering points are still visible,unlike the machine plucked birds. There are other marketers that buy from large farms where production processes s are automatic,the birds are plucked with large machines,processed and packaged for sale in supermarkets,cold rooms and shopping malls.
The poultry farmers have you covered irrespective of your choice,so patronize your local farmers. The major advantages of homegrown "NAIJA" CHICKEN is that they are not pumped with growth hormones or preserved with carcinogenic chemicals,they are also not loaded with antibiotics and they are so tasty.

PROCESSING OF LIVE CHICKEN .
The poultry farmers and operators of chicken business in the country are happy about the recent ban on importation of chicken and turkey,because this means rapid growth for the poultry industry in the country. The poultry farmers and operators have allayed all fears of citizens about the constant supply of poultry products,stating that they are capable of supply in large quantities as at when needed.
It will be recalled that before the advent of imported frozen chicken and turkey,people normally sourced their poultry from the market,where its killed and dressed to specification.The ban will ensure purchasing of more live chicken/turkey which will also attract more processors thus creating jobs. Chicken processing can be a money spinner if attached to a live bird market,this will even curb spread of diseases.CThILQiB_88/VaP1syA4BGI/AAAAAAAABww/yaoS7srRfrI/s320/IMG_20150713_125229.jpg" />

MADE IN NAIJA CHICKEN.
The recent clamp down on imported chicken and turkey dealers in the country has sparked arguments in various quarters and questions flying everywhere.The major concern of the populace is what is the alternative? do we have enough poultry farmers in the country to produce what we need??,do we have access to hygienically processed chicken,turkey and poultry products?? are these products affordable and readily available???.The answer to these questions is a simple yes!!!! we have the capacity to feed our citizens.In our markets today, when you buy chicken or turkey,there are operators there that render services such as killing/bleeding, defeathering ,cutting and packaging.We also have poultry farms that process various types and package for sale and they are so affordable.These products are supplied to shopping malls all over the country,and since they are packaged according to weight,it makes shopping so easy.
Now you know....you have the facts ,go to your mall or market and stock up.I almost forgot to add an important detail,they taste so good ,crispy,juicy so delicious.
There is so much food in the land its lack of information,wisdom and understanding that is causing us to cast off our treasures and take up stones.
# changeit.@move naija forward.
