Poultry Farming |
In an interview
with our correspondent at the weekend in Minna, the Director General of
Youth Empowerment Initiative in the state, Malam Kolo, said the state
government would be importing 1, 250 of the kits in the first phase of
the programme.
"With the mobile
kits you can raise your birds in cages. You can wheel the kits out in
the day and roll them in at night," he said
He said five
interested beneficiaries would be selected from each of the 25 local
government areas in the state and trained on how to operate the kit.
"The beneficiaries would then be given the kits and other incentives to start up," he explained.
He said a kit
contained five units, while each unit took 100 birds, adding that each
kit therefore could accommodate 500 birds at a ago.
The DG believed
that the initiative, which was nursed at a fair in China, would address
the problem of accommodation, which often discouraged indigent young men
and women from venturing into poultry business.
