Poultry farming business is a lucrative and profitable business but some people consider this business a failure one. The investors of this business have blamed themselves for choosing this business. I always remind those people that no risk, no gain.

Poultry business has also its trade secrets and you have to know how to increase your opportunities to succeed in this business.
