How much do Novogen Brown day-old pullets cost per carton?
While market prices for day-old chicks fluctuate based on seasonal demand and hatchery schedules, the cost of an Agrited carton reflects its premium status. Choosing Agrited Novogen Browns is an investment in biosecurity and genetic purity. Unlike cheaper, unbranded alternatives that often suffer from stunted growth or erratic laying patterns, these pullets offer a predictable ROI. Buying by the carton allows small to medium-scale farmers to access world-class genetics that were once reserved for only the largest commercial operations.
Are Novogen Browns good for commercial egg production in Nigeria?
Novogen Browns are widely regarded as one of the most resilient breeds for tropical poultry farming. Their ability to maintain high egg production even during the intense heat of the dry season sets them apart from other breeds. They possess an efficient feed conversion ratio, meaning they turn every bag of layers mash into more eggs and less waste. Whether you are operating a battery cage system in Ogun State or a deep litter house in Kano, these birds adapt quickly to the local soil and climate conditions, maintaining a 90% peak production rate longer than most competitors.
At what age do Novogen Brown pullets start laying eggs?
Your journey from day-old chick to revenue-generating hen takes approximately 18 to 20 weeks. During the first few weeks, the focus is on skeletal development and immune system priming. By the time they hit the 18-week mark, you will see the first signs of maturity. By week 22, the flock typically reaches a stable laying percentage, consistently producing large, brown-shelled eggs that command top prices in the local market. Their production cycle is remarkably persistent, often staying profitable well into 80 weeks of age.
The Gold Standard for Your Poultry Success
Starting a poultry batch is often filled with anxiety. Many farmers lose sleep over high mortality rates in the first week or, worse, discover months later that they were sold inferior “mixed” breeds that won’t lay. We understand that pain, and we are here to eliminate it.
