Broiler prices rise 50 pounds per day since the beginning of the year .. And breeders: We will close poultry houses!
Economy today:
Broiler prices increased at an approximate rate of fifty pounds per day from the beginning of the current year to today, with the difficulty of providing broiler chickens for stores and the absence of birds, as most of them did not renew the cohort after the sale to escape the losses that have continued in recent months.
Sellers Qasim Ahmed and Hassan Al-Ali confirm for Tishreen that the coming days warn of the loss of livelihoods for many sellers due to the lack of broiler chickens, especially after the reluctance of breeders who refused to receive chicks from sales offices even for free because they are sure of the loss achieved as a result of the continued high feed prices and the difficulty of providing fuel Heating and major mortality in cohorts exposed to cold waves.
The breeder, Ayman Al-Abdullah, expressed the pain of the breeders by saying: The losses we were subjected to forced many of us to go to other professions and close the poultry farms because of the inability to secure the expenses of breeding, especially after increasing the price per ton of compound feed to more than 400 thousand pounds and the cost of producing one egg reached to More than 68 pounds, while government agencies set the retail price at about 50 pounds and this is unfair to educators and at the same time it is stressful for the citizen, while broilers reach the cost of a kilo to more than 1300 pounds currently and the increase continues, not to mention the prices of medicines, pesticides and fuels that are available with great difficulty At flash prices An excuse, including diesel, which is sold at a price in excess of 400 pounds and cannot be dispensed with after losing coke and the high cost of regular coal, and this prevents us from continuing in this field of work.
For his part, the director of the General Authority for Fodder in Hama, Engineer Othman Al-Duaimis, affirmed that the establishment continues to provide feed courses at a rate of 4 kilograms of corn and one kilogram of bran and barley every two months for each bird and an inventory of working poultry that the Directorate of Agriculture is checking with sensory detection, indicating that the government supported barley with an amount of 40 pounds The price will drop from 146.5 liras to 106.5 liras as a promotional initiative and to reduce the burden on breeders
