KIKEZ POULTRY BREEDERS
Kikez Poultry Breeders offers a comprehensive suite of products and services tailored for poultry farmers, both new and experienced, aiming to support successful, sustainable poultry farming.
1. Day-Old Chicks:
Kikez provides high-quality, vaccinated day-old chicks that are ready to start their growth journey. By sourcing healthy and genetically robust chicks, they ensure farmers can achieve strong growth rates and good productivity in their flocks. These chicks are available for both broiler (meat) and layer (egg) production.
2. Parent Chicken (Breeding Stock):
They offer parent chickens, also known as breeding stock, which are specifically bred for reproduction. These birds allow poultry farmers to produce fertile eggs and hatch chicks, creating a sustainable production cycle. Kikez ensures these birds come from strong genetic lines, providing the foundation for high-yield poultry farming.
3. Poultry Feeds (Concentrate):
Kikez provides specialized poultry feed concentrates. Concentrates are nutrient-dense feed ingredients that can be mixed with locally available grains to create a balanced diet for poultry. This approach offers flexibility, cost savings, and ensures poultry receive essential nutrients for optimum growth and egg production.
4. Training Programs:
Kikez Poultry Breeders runs training programs aimed at educating farmers on best practices in poultry management. Topics may include:
Effective feeding practices for different growth stages
Biosecurity measures to prevent diseases
Vaccination schedules
Record-keeping for monitoring farm performance
5. Farm Management Support:
Through tailored farm management support, Kikez assists farmers with day-to-day operational guidance. This includes developing feeding schedules, creating optimal housing environments, ensuring proper hygiene, and managing waste. The goal is to enhance productivity, reduce mortality rates, and improve overall farm profitability.
6. Groups and Cooperatives Training and Support:
Kikez collaborates with farming groups and cooperatives to provide group training sessions. This support helps farmers work collectively to benefit from economies of scale in purchasing, shared knowledge, and joint market access. Training often includes cooperative governance, marketing, and financing options, empowering groups to thrive as a unit.
