Zain Al Abedeen Abdul Rahman Jamah: Poultry Project (Basra)
Zain Al Abedeen Abdul Rahman Jamah is an expert in poultry business. He presented very well his BP and answered all the questions he was asked. His business has two products: chicken and poultry feed which is based on local grain and weeds he grows. He experimented with his feed, and he believes it is promising and cost effective.
Zain has already started his pilot and is a good model for others to learn how he started his own small business. He also received in-kind support to develop his project.
During the programme, he has been encouraged to work more on documenting his BP and presentation. He has been advised to consider feed production as a key product as it is effective in terms of transformation and costs. Zain is a good candidate for sharing knowledge and presenting his own experience in developing his business.
The first of his two products is the district-tested meat of chicken fed with herbal concentrated poultry feed, which attracts many customers. The second on is the by-product of the project, poultry feed which is highly cost effective and has a good feed-weight conversion rate.
Zain started with 1.000 chicks with very low mortality rate, and he has started his second patch with 2.000 chicks and expects a good and successful patch.
Zain Al Abedeen Abdul Rahman Jamah was a participant at the Entrepreneurship program for start-up ans MSME Development.
