“The commercial al feed sellers are greedy and work as a cartel”
“Poultry business is a very risky business, when I started mine around 2014, all the broilers died at the same due to heat and they were two months old, big and getting heavy.”

This thread is a heated debate between a knowledgeable farmer ('stagger') and a skeptic ('obinna58') regarding the value of premium poultry feed versus commercial alternatives. The discussion centers on the efficacy of feed formulations, the risks of adulterated inputs, and the willingness of Nigerian farmers to pay for proven, research-backed solutions rather than free but potentially inferior options.

Credibility signals:
citing specific protein percentages (16%, 17%, 22%) and growth metrics (50g to 3kg in 6 weeks)referencing personal observation of flock performance and industry trends in 2023
“I remember telling my friends in the business that in 2023, the feed companies had responded to the sharp rise in costs by reducing the protein content of their feed. Some were registering 16%, 17% when they were supposed to deliver 22% and above.”
“How can you understand the metabolism of a feed formula by chickens without knowing the role of each constituent and why they are brought together in various quantities to produce a formulation that can take a 50g chick to 2.8kg to 3kg bird in 6 weeks?”
“But you are willing to buy commercial feed which has been proven by tests to be underdelivering on its constituents.”
