Starting Free-Range Turkey Farming
How to Start Free-Range Turkey Business
Summary: Do you think you have what it takes to be a turkey farmer? Have you the courage to start your own business? Are you interested in starting your own free-range turkey farming business?
If you are then here are a few things to consider before starting your own free-range turkey farming business.
Like most agricultural businesses, free-range turkey farming requires adequate knowledge on how to raise turkeys, even if you do allow them to roam around free in a range. There are many aspects of turkeys that any free-range turkey farmer should know about such as the kind and amount of food to be given, especially in free-range turkey farming. In free-range turkey farming the turkey’s food in-take varies because the turkeys are allowed to roam. Once you get the necessary education about turkeys, it would be a good idea to get work or apprentice with an already established free-range turkey farmer so that you can get the experience of handling the turkeys.
Location of the Free-Range Turkey Farming
Planning is the next step in starting your own free-range turkey farming. Determine what breed of turkey best suits your farming place and your targeted income. There are different breeds of turkey and each of them has their own particular condition. There are some turkeys that are more heat tolerant than other whereas there are turkeys that produce more eggs, are more fertile and hatch easier than other turkeys. Also, examine the location of your free-range turkey farm. Is the temperature right for your breed of turkey? Is it large enough? Is there a source of potable water nearby? Are there sufficient plant material or do you have to plant more? Were there previous turkeys or animal epidemics near the area? Remember that an acre of fenced land is sufficient for around 200 to 250 adult free-range turkeys. Also remember that aside from the range there should also be a building for turkey egg storage or, if you want, for artificial insemination and hatching. Also determine if the location of your free-range turkey farm has a market and the cost of the transportation for the market.
