The poultry chicken farming industry is growing rapidly in Kenya. It is a booming industry in Kenya, and the number of small-scale poultry farmers is increasing. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MoALF) estimates that there are about 3 million chickens kept on farms of different sizes in Kenya, but most farmers do not have access to modern technology for chicken farming and poultry farm management, and they often encounter problems such as high mortality and poor egg quality. As a result, the government has set a target of increasing egg production by 50% from current levels by 2035, and the government has been working on a project to improve the livelihoods of farmers by providing them with more sustainable methods of raising chickens. So, yes, there are going to be a lot of business opportunities in the poultry chicken farming industry in Kenya.

Currently, most chicken farmers in Kenya mainly use free-range farming, which means that all their chickens are raised outdoors with ready access to food and water, as this method is cheaper and easier to implement.

There are some disadvantages about free-range chicken farming:

1) For free range farms, more space is required, which is an expensive investment for land purchase and subsequent land maintenance.

2) There are hygiene and sanitation issues, as chickens are easily exposed to diseases and parasites. It is difficult for chickens to get fresh feed and clean water.

3) The cost of raising chickens will be much higher, and a lot of feed will be wasted, especially considering the current skyrocketing feed prices.

4) For free range farms, temperature is not easy to control, and if operating in extreme weather, such as extreme heat or cold, it may result in the death of a large number of chickens and cause huge losses to farmers.

So free-range chickens are actually a less efficient way of raising chickens. In order to solve this problem, the Kenyan government is trying to promote a new way of raising chickens called “Battery Cage for raising chickens“, which will help chicken farmers reduce costs and increase production.

Compared with Free-range farms, there are a lot advantage for battery cage system:

1) It allows farmers to raise more chickens in the same space. This means they use less land, which means they can expand their business and make more money.

2) Farmers can produce eggs or meat at a faster rate. This means they can increase capital turnover and make this business more profitable.

3) It can help reduce feeding costs because it makes it easy to manage feed distribution and control waste.

4) It allows chickens to lay eggs in cages without having to walk across dirty ground, which eliminates potential contamination from ground feces and collects eggs in a cleaner and more efficient way.

5) It facilitates cleaning and disinfection of poultry farms. This is important because it reduces the risk of disease outbreaks such as avian influenza or salmonella and reduces the costs associated with cleaning and disinfection efforts.

6) It allows monitoring and control of temperature and humidity inside the house, keeping it constant throughout the day. This means that the chickens stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which increases survival rates and reduces mortality.
