FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A TWO YEARS TURKEY FARM

INTRODUCTION
Poultry production is a fast-growing business in Nigeria today because it caters directly for the most
relevant human need – food. The major purposes for poultry are for egg and meat production. This
proposal will focus on turkey production and its marketability, with details of expenses and profit that
could be made if properly handled.

TURKEY PRODUCTION
Turkey has been found to be very profitable over the years. Turkey production could either be for meat
production, brooding production or breeding production. For meat production, the turkey birds will last
for a period of 22 – 24 weeks before attaining full maturity and suitable for meat. This feasibility study
will focus on raising twenty (20) male turkeys for the first two year of production. The turkeys will be
raised at least twice in a year, considering time taken to raise them to full maturity.
EXPENSES:
Fixed Assets;
Adult drinkers (5) N5,000
Adult feeders (5) N5,000
Chick drinkers (5) N5,000
Chick feeders (5) N5,000
Coal Pot N1,000
Drums (2) N20,000
Tarpulin for brooding N8,000
Weighing scale N7,500
TOTAL FIXED ASSETS N56,500
Variable Assets;
Cost of bird (20) N80,000 (@N4,000 per bird)
Feed N163,000
Medication;
Vitamins N3,000
Lasota (3) N3,000
Antibiotic (1) N1,500
Fowl pox vaccine (1) N1,000
Fowl cholera vaccine (1) N5,000
Charcoal N4,000
Miscellaneous N26,050 (10% of total cost)
TOTAL VARIABLE ASSETS N286,550

For the two years analysis, fixed assets which would be bought once and used throughout and will
therefore be divided by four (which is the number of times the birds will be raised). The result will be
added to the total variable assets to give us the total expenses.
N56,500 divided by 4 = N14,125
TOTAL EXPENSES = N14,125 + N286,550
= N300,675.00

INCOME:
Total quantity of birds sold at maturity = 19 birds (after 5% mortality)
Cost of live turkey = N25,000
TOTAL INCOME = N25,000 x 19birds
= N475,000.00

PROFIT:
TOTAL INCOME – TOTAL EXPENSES = TOTAL PROFIT
N475,000.00 – N300,675.00 = N174,325.00
To then calculate the profit for the two years, the profit per batch will be multiplied by four which is the
number of times the turkey was raised.
The total profit for this feasibility will therefore be N174,325.00 x 4 = N697,300.00
