Business of Poultry

• Smaller operations will sell eggs or even birds at farmers markets or off the farm directly. A poultry business will be much more sophisticated as it will have some sort of production contract with distributors.
• Contract growing in the poultry industry is a wordwide trend – very popular but still very profitable. A growing contract is when a farmer comes to an agreement with a company to provide certain poultry goods, such as; broilers, breeders, replacement pullets, commercial laying hens or eggs. This method of business has been used for 50 years – proving very successful.

In some cases companies will supply:

• Specifically formulated feed (for maximum growth)
• Genetically selected chicks
• Professional support (for maximum flock performance)
