Poultry farming is the rearing of domestic birds (mainly chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc.) for meat, eggs, or both. Most poultry farmers in Nigeria specialize in raising chickens and turkeys, with chicken being the most popular. Four out of every ten Nigerians, or around 85 million (42 percent) of the population, are involved in the production of poultry, largely on a small- to medium-scale. There is hardly any region of Nigeria where you wouldn’t observe these two-legged animals running around or being raised. If we talk about Delta state, it is currently the most emerging state with regards to poultry farming.

Below we will be discussing the list of poultry farms in Delta state. But first, let’s understand what poultry farms are:

Poultry Farms

Poultry farms are places where the breeding of domestic birds takes place. Chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese are all considered poultry. The meat and eggs from these animals are produced often on poultry farms. The most popular bird farmed for both meat and eggs is the chicken. Broilers are chickens that are kept specifically for their meat. Laying hens or layers is the term for chickens reared for their eggs. On hobby farms, several varieties of chicken are bred for contests and exhibits. Turkeys are often fed and made fat to ensure to be ready for the public to purchase during the holiday season.

Some of the typical tasks performed on chicken farms include the following:

• Getting the poultry home ready for the birds’ arrival.
• Giving food to birds.
• Keeping an eye on the temperature, humidity, and air quality within the chicken farms.
• Keeping an eye on the feed and water lines to ensure that the birds are receiving fresh food and water.
• Keeping an eye on the birds’ health.
• Cleaning the chicken homes.
• Gathering eggs for either laying hens, or simply selling them to distributors.
• Transferring hens or turkeys to processing factories by loading them onto vehicles.
• Selling poultry meat as frozen meat
• Hatching of eggs to sell one-day-old chicks to the distributors.

Nigeria holds Africa’s second-largest chicken population and the continent’s highest yearly egg supply. About 180 million birds are used in Nigeria’s poultry sector. From there, 80 million of these are raised using extensive systems, 60 million using semi-intensive systems, and the remaining 40 million are raised using intensive systems. Nigeria produces 650 Mt of eggs and 300 Mt of meat from poultry per year. About 85 million Nigerians work in the poultry industry which ranges from small scale to medium, to large. As per the report of 2020, about 25% of Nigeria’s GDP is thanks to the contribution of these poultry farms. They belong to the agricultural sector and are one of the keys to export for the country’s success.
