First Stage : KNOWLEDGE: Knowledge is very important in this business, without it, your is continuity in the business is threaten. First of all you must have a proven feed formula that has been tested and it is sure that it can answer to the farmers need. If you don’t have you can buy, yes I say buy from the millers, feed production company, consulting companies. The will sell to you, you just need to know how to negotiate and get what you want.
Second step: MARKETING: you need to find poultry farmers who are ready to buy your feed. It is vital that you find buyers (poultry farmers) first before you go in to production. Failure to do so would amount to tying down your capital.

You can even start with the buyers funds.
