Poultry farming

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is job agwata, i am a Kenyan citizen aged 30 years. i was brought up in a family of five in a small village called Kineni in Nyamira county. After completing my primary school education from Kineni primary i joined Riomego secondary school which i did my forth form though a suport from a well wisher who supported me by paying my school fees, this was because my parents could no fund my educational expenses because of their little income they attained from small scale farming which they cared out in our one hectare farm we had. since i could not go beyond secondary education i ventured into chicken and rabbit farming which helped me to pay for my young ones school fess a swell as paying for my child fees and other expenses

My Business

I ventured into Rabbit and poultry farming in small scale after my schooling. with the support i attained from zidisha my business has grown largely and as per now rear poultry in large scale. i have 400 adult hens which give me more than 10 trays of eggs daily. i do supply rabbit meat to some of the major hotels within Nairobi this also earn me a good income. I chose this kind of business because there is a high demand on eggs,rabbit meat a swell as chicken meat within my locality. the typical cost of my business is buying chicken mash, rabbit feeds which am being supplied by mama mboga, and cost of vaccination. I use the profit i get from my business to pay for my house expenses, my siblings and child school fees and donate some to the orphanage

Loan Proposal

I currently have 30 hens that are for laying eggs and 15 broilers. The challenge that I have is feeding then. The cost of feeds has gone high. And since I do not have sufficient funds production has gone down.

One bag of 90 KGS goes for 20 dollars and I need like 10 sacks which will cost 200 dollars.
I also need to buy feeding troughs which will cost around 20 dollar's

Thanks
