Chicken cage farming in uganda

 Chicken cage farming in uganda

 

Uganda is a promising country for chicken cage farming, and it is the conclusion

made by our team group after travelling to Uganda for many times.

First, the climate in Uganda is neither hot nor hot, and chicken farmers in Uganda

prefer Half-open chicken farm, with stee wire mesh and small size plastic net surrounded the chicken house to avoid wild birds, Rats or snakes.

Secondly, About 80% chicken farmers in Uganda are feeding their chicken on ground floor(Layer, Broilers, or Kuroiler is a hybrid breed of chicken developed in India), and there is no ventilation, no temperature control, as well as no electricity at night.

But Chicken farmers come to realize the importance of chicken cage feeding, and they are now paying more attention to chicken cage. They are spare no efforting to transit to cage feeding, while the biggest block is funds, since farmers are suffering big loss for the death of chicken from diease infection, pollution water, as well as Poor Management.

Thirdly, Uganda also exported 70% of its egg production to Sudan, Kenya, and Tanzania,however its egg production rate is low, but chicken farmers are huge. Government also encourage young people to go to farm.

According to the news from Market, there is one Chinese Chicken cage Manufacturer &Supplier----Excellen Poultry Equipment (U) Ltd., who built up warehouse in Uganda, with aiming of helping chicken farmers in Uganda.
