WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO START YOUR OWN POULTRY FARM 

 

If you're a retailer looking to help your clients start their own poultry farm, it's important to know the essential equipment they'll need to get started. Poultry farming is considered the cheapest form of livestock farming and can be highly profitable if the resources are used wisely. However, it requires hard work, dedication, and a solid business plan.

 

One of the most important aspects of starting a poultry farm is having the right equipment. This can help ensure the overall health, quality, and longevity of the livestock they hope to attain. That's where Poltek comes in.

 

Poltek is one of the top providers of plastic poultry technology in Africa. They offer a wide range of equipment, including drinkers, feeders, heating, thermometers, packaging, and laying cages at an affordable price. Their products are trusted by some of the biggest commercial farmers on the continent to sustain their poultry farms.

 

Whether your clients' poultry farm is for commercial or subsistence farming, having a solid business plan in place is essential. It can take a lot of time and effort to get the business off the ground, but with the right equipment and plan in place, your clients can be on their way to a successful poultry farming venture.

POLTEK FEEDERS

Made with space, effectiveness, and quality in mind. These feeders take minimum effort to use and refill, while ensuring the livestock gets fed the right amount of food. Poltek provides two types of feeders, namely Tube Feeders and Hinged Feedsavers.

The Hinged Feedsaver is specifically designed to minimize spillage with the oval holes preventing the chicks from flicking feed out of the tray. It is a modular system that is easily clipped together to suit the farmers individual requirements. The Tube Feeder has four support struts with additional curves for extra strength and sturdiness, increased inner cone size for better feed flow and extra feet for superior stability. All metal parts are electroplated to prevent corrosion. These products also come in a variety of sizes:
