Rising poultry feed costs remain one of the biggest challenges facing farmers in Nigeria today. Since feed can account for up to 70 percent of total production costs, even small price increases can significantly affect margins. However, profitability in poultry farming is still achievable. With the right feeding strategies, quality birds, efficient farm management, and smart marketing, farmers can reduce waste, improve feed conversion, and maintain healthy returns. At Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery, we understand the realities farmers face and continue to provide solutions that strengthen productivity across the poultry value chain. Here are practical ways to maximize profits despite rising feed costs. 1. Optimize Your Poultry Feeding Strategy Improving how you feed your birds is one of the fastest ways to reduce unnecessary expenses and improve poultry farm profitability. Use Phase Feeding Adjust feed formulations to match birds’ nutritional requirements at each growth stage. Chicks, growers, and layers have different needs. Feeding the right ration at the right time improves feed efficiency and reduces waste. Reduce Feed Wastage Use properly designed feeders positioned at the correct height. Overfilled feeders and poor placement lead to spillage, increasing overall production costs. Avoid Overfeeding More feed does not always mean better performance. Controlled feeding improves feed conversion ratio and protects your margins. Choose Quality Feed Concentrates Investing in high-quality feed concentrates from reputable suppliers such as Amo Byng Nigeria Limited helps ensure birds receive balanced nutrition that supports optimal growth and egg production. 2. Use Alternative and Cost-Effective Feed Ingredients Exploring alternative feed ingredients can help reduce dependency on expensive conventional inputs. Cost reduction should never compromise bird health. A properly balanced diet remains essential for performance. 3. Invest in High-Quality Birds Feed efficiency begins with genetics. Birds with strong feed conversion ratios require less feed to gain weight or produce eggs. Sourcing quality day-old chicks or point-of-lay birds from trusted hatcheries like Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery ensures: Breeds such as Noilers are particularly valued for their dual-purpose advantage and efficient performance under Nigerian farming conditions. 4. Improve Poultry Farm Management Practices Efficient management reduces stress and prevents losses that increase feed costs. Strong management practices protect both your birds and your investment. 5. Consider On-Farm Feed Production or Bulk Buying Producing your own feed or buying in bulk can significantly reduce per-unit costs. Strategic procurement can stabilize production costs even when market prices fluctuate. 6. Leverage Smart Poultry Marketing Strategies Profitability is not just about reducing costs. It is also about increasing revenue. A strong marketing strategy ensures you capture full value for your production. Build a Profitable Poultry Business Despite Rising Feed Costs While rising feed costs present real challenges, they also highlight the importance of efficiency, quality inputs, and smart management. Farmers who focus on reducing waste, improving feed conversion, and sourcing high-quality birds are better positioned for long-term profitability. At Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery, we remain committed to supporting farmers with quality birds and practical solutions that strengthen poultry production across Nigeria.

Dr. Ayoola Oduntan Donates 2,000 Capacity Model Broiler Poultry Pen Complex to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
We are excited to share a major milestone that reflects our commitment to education, youth empowerment, and sustainable livestock development in Nigeria. On January 20, 2026, our Group Managing Director, Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, donated a 2,000 capacity Model Broiler Poultry Pen Complex to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. The donation was officially unveiled and commissioned as part of the Faculty’s Veterinary Oath Taking and Induction Ceremony, reinforcing our dedication to strengthening practical learning, entrepreneurship, and agricultural innovation in veterinary education. Dr. Oduntan, an alumnus of ABU’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Class of 1990), described the donation as a personal commitment to give back to the institution that shaped his career. He shared that returning to contribute meaningfully to the university has been a long held goal since graduation, and that the values and discipline he gained at ABU have played a key role in his professional journey. The newly commissioned facility was designed and constructed by Diversay Solutions Ltd. It is a fully integrated and functional commercial poultry operation, built to provide hands on training and real life entrepreneurial experience for veterinary students. The complex includes a 2,000 capacity broiler poultry pen, an administrative office for management staff, a borehole to ensure a steady supply of potable water, an initial stock of 2,000 broiler chicks with feed supplied through to market weight, and an offtake arrangement to guarantee purchase of birds at maturity. Dr. Oduntan explained that the initiative is designed to groom veterinary students into entrepreneurs by exposing them to real world poultry production, business management, and value chain operations while still in school. “This facility is designed to function as a real commercial operation. Students will not only learn animal health and production, but will also gain a practical understanding of management, accountability, and value creation. My vision is simple: no veterinary graduate of this institution should leave without the capacity to create income, provide solutions, and contribute meaningfully to national development,” he said. Representing the Vice Chancellor of ABU, the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academics, Professor Raymond Bako, commended Dr. Oduntan for his foresight and sustained commitment to the institution. He described the donation as timely and impactful, noting that the facility will strengthen practical training, research, and entrepreneurship within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. He also encouraged more alumni to support the university’s growth. Dr. Oduntan also delivered the keynote address at the ceremony titled “The Ingredients of Successful Poultry Startups: The History and Progress of the Noiler Chicken in Nigeria.” He highlighted the transformative impact of the Noiler, a dual purpose breed developed by Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Ltd, a subsidiary of the Amo Group. He emphasized the role of the Noiler in strengthening food and protein security, improving nutrition in rural communities, and providing sustainable income opportunities for smallholder farmers, especially women and children, across Nigeria and the African continent. In recognition of his contributions to veterinary education, agribusiness development, and national food security, Dr. Oduntan was presented with an Award of Excellence by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The commissioning ceremony was organised by the Alumni Committee of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and attended by university management, faculty members, students, alumni, and members of the public. This is a proud moment for our Group as we continue to support education, strengthen agriculture, and drive sustainable development across Nigeria.

Noiler’s Growing Footprint: Transforming Poultry Farming and Lives Across Africa
Pioneering Sustainable Poultry Solutions in Africa What began as a bold vision by Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited (AFSH) to revolutionize poultry farming has evolved into a continent-wide movement improving lives, enhancing nutrition, and empowering communities. The Noiler, developed through years of research and innovation by AFSH, represents a milestone in sustainable poultry farming. It was designed to meet Africa’s agricultural realities, combining the resilience of local breeds with the productivity of commercial ones to deliver a hardy, dual-purpose chicken that provides both meat and eggs. Our Continental Reach Today, Noiler birds have spread across 10 African countries, 36 states, and 443 local governments in Nigeria. These numbers tell a story of real impact, with farmers increasing their income, families improving their nutrition, and communities achieving greater food security. With the average household size in Africa being five people, it is estimated that millions have directly or indirectly benefited from Noiler poultry farming. The results speak for themselves: better nutrition, higher earnings, improved livelihoods, and reduced poverty. Driving Change Through Innovation and Purpose At Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, innovation is not just about technology, it is about people. The creation of the Noiler bird was driven by a desire to deliver inclusive agricultural solutions that address hunger, malnutrition, and unemployment. Through the Noiler farming model, smallholder farmers, especially women and youth, are gaining financial independence. Families now have reliable access to eggs and meat, while communities are building resilience through local food systems. This initiative demonstrates how purpose-led innovation can create measurable social and economic transformation, one community at a time.
