The Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN), Lagos chapter, has expressed optimism over the growth of the sector in 2023 in spite of the challenges faced in the previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PAN Chairman, Mr Mojeed Iyiola, said on Thursday in Lagos that in spite of the rising cost of raw materials for the feed production, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy God\u2019s grace in 2023, we hope for a forward movement for the poultry sector in spite of the high cost of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to encourage our farmers to endure despite the fact that we have gotten to the peak of high cost of raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is only farmers that can endure this period that would break through in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe encourage our farmers to remain in business and stop closing up despite the challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iyiola said that with the continuous peak in poultry raw materials, there has been a proliferation of substandard materials which are harmful to both human and animal health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also called for the government\u2019s continuous intervention to cushion the effects of the rising cost of production in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll we need is government\u2019s continuous assistance and intervention in the area of animal feed as the price keeps skyrocketing daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen animal feed prices continue to increase, there will be an increase of adulterated poultry inputs in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese substandard products are very injurious to the human health and the animal. This also results in low production and consequent mortality of the birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen this happens it results in the closure of most poultry farms. Presently we have scanty numbers of poultry farmers still in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe cost of inputs keeps getting on the increase. From the cost of day-old chicks which used to cost between N120 to N200, now ranges between N600 to N1,000 per day old chick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn animal feed, a bag of 25kg of chick-mash was sold between N4,000 and N6,000 but now costs N10,000 and above now,\u201d Iyiola said.<\/p>\n\n\n
