CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The proposed poultry feed mill processing factory is to be sited at autabalefi in karu local government area of Nasarawa State.
This
project will enhance the use of local indigenous available raw
materials in Nasarawa state and its environment, thus boosting the
working ability of farmer and providing employed people and also
generating revenues for local communities. Poultry feed mill are mixture
of various ingredients such as maize, rice bran, grandaunt cakes
molasses, soya beans cake, fish meals, corn etc. the composition of
poultry feed can be varied depending on the availability of various raw
materials such as carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and minerals.
Balanced
feed it very essential for proper growth of divides and pullets and
hence use for feeding others domesticated birds such as chickens,
turkey, ducks, geese etc at which also increase the output of
broiler/eggs. Feed for poultry mostly consist of grain, a portion of
commercial feed, typical around quarter, is known as bulk and it
indigestible. The amount of bulk is referred to as bulk density.
The
quantity of feed and the nutritional requirements of the feed depend on
the weight and the age of the poultry as well as the season. Healthy
poultry required a sufficient amount of protein and carbon-hydrate along
with the necessary vitamins, dietary minerals and an adequate supply of
water certain diets also required the use of grit, tiny rocks as
process of granite in the feed. Grit aids in digestion by grinding ford
as it passes through the gizzard. Grit is not needed if commercial feed
is used. The poultry feed must remain clean and dry; contaminated feed
can infect poultry. Damp feed en-courage fungal growth disease can be
avoided with proper maintenance of the feed and feeders. The use of
poultry feed can be supplemented with food find through foraging in
industrial agricultural. Machinery is used to automate the feeding
process, reducing the cost and increasing the scale of farming for
commercial poultry farming. Feed serve as the largest cost of operation
in agriculture. The development of poultry farms is receiving an
increasing attention considering the nutritional requirement of the
population.
This project is intended to bring development employment opportunity to the state and city at large.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The project envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of poultry feed with a capacity of 2500 tons per annum. Poultry feed it’s a balanced feed which aids proper development of chicks and pullet. Poultry feed mill processing factory provided opportunity of employment to the unemployed people of the proposed area. The state requirement of poultry feed is met through local production. The principal raw materials required are maize, rice polish, rice bran, groundnut cake, soy ... Continue reading---
