PROCESSING POULTRY FOR PROFIT.
All categories of poultry can be raised and processed for profit. The time of maturation of these birds differ hence the venture could be short term or a long term venture depending on your finances .
Whatever the category, processing and packaging as premium chicken still is the best approach as it attracts high market value.
BROILERS: PROCESSING AND BY-PRODUCTS.
The 42-day rapid return on investment in broiler production makes it a lucrative business.The beauty of the venture is that no part of the birds is a waste,all by-products is a money-spinner.
The processing of the birds are done in processing plants which come in various capacities depending on your type of venture.
The birds are processed in the following sections;
Stunning, the birds are stunned before slaughtering to prevent blood in the meat,thus tainting the meat.
Slaughtering: this is done using the slaughtering cone, the birds are placed in cones and slaughtered.
Scalding tank: birds placed in scalding tank operated at proper temperature to prevent cooking the birds.
De-feathering; the feathers are removed in the defeathering machine,that ensures the birds are clean . \
Evisceration; the visceral removed, also the head/ neck is removed.
Washing; the birds are passed to the washing section where they are hosed down with clean water. The birds are then sent to packaging unit.
The packaging unit is the last phase of processing,the birds are packed using clean transparent bags and these are sent to chillers for onward supply to supermarket.
Investors in this venture can make more money by processing other birds from other farms at a price,this will also reduce over head cost.
The investor can position himself as a producer/ processor in an area bringing more opportunities to that zone.
This can also be another empowerment opportunity for young school leavers,who can easily raise broilers and process in this plant and sell as premium chicken .
The investor can also work with other farmers ,who will sell to him and he will process and sell as premium chicken thus increasing his finances without increasing his cost of production.
Broiler waste can also be collected and processed to produce bio-gas and also electricity.The waste is channeled to a digester fed with anaerobic bacteria to give bio-gas for cooking and also energy.This can be transferred to grid which can power the poultry farm and save overhead by reducing electricity bill.
The feathers are collected in a vat,washed and dyed.These are then used as fashion accessories, pillow stuffing's,table decor,office decor and writing materials.
