#Getting started-Things to take care
#A model pigeon loft
A successful Pigeon farm business require following stars*
*Infrastructure
The primary thing need for a successful business is
infrastructure.Here in the case of pigeons it is the pigeon loft.A good
loft with healthy environment is very essential for the success of the
business.The money you spend here should be well planned.Based on our
requirement we can have two types of loft.
1)Common Home
2)Separate cages
Here
each pair has separate small home or cages.The initial cost is high
here.If we want to provide Aviary,then put an extra one big cage as
aviary.The diseases can be controlled very effectively this way.Chances
of cross breeding is nil.But we need to give extra care to pigeons.
*Breeds
The collection of Good quality breeding pairs is very important
for the success of the business.As a starter,try to collect at least 5
pairs of good quality healthy pigeons of different breeds.Don't invest
in costly breeds at the starting.As the business grows,we can invest on
costly breeds.A loft having 5 pairs of breeding pairs can give you
enough income for the expansion of the loft and for the daily expenses.
*Care and treatments
You should invest to ensure good health of your pigeons.The
success of the business is there.Try to provide quality treatments and
care for your pigeons.
*Marketing
The key factor of every business is the marketing of its
products.Here our products are good quality pigeon chicks.We can use
various marketing techniques such as
1)Network
of Local breeders: This is the main market of our small scale
business(you may expand it to global market as your business grow).Try
to make contacts with similar businessmen so you will get great
benefits.
2)Advertising: By advertising on media,you will get large numbers of clients and try to make a strong relationship with them.
3)Through
Internet: Try to post your available stocks in various forums.Try to
ensure that you are posting quality birds only.This will attract lots of
traffic towards you.
