Government Grants and Funding for poultry projects

Government provides money to the provincial departments for funding. You would need to approach the department in your province to apply for funding. Ask for CUSP application forms. These are the grant application forms for agriculture - you would need to specify poultry funding or chicken funding. Below are some useful phone numbers and addresses. When you prepare you business plan make sure you include everything you need - for the current project and for future groth - people often forget about levveling the ground, concrete slabs, fans and many other items of poultry equipment. Think about silos or storage for your chicken feed - egg weighers if you are applying for a layer house grant. If you are trying for a grant you will need to form a co-operative - this means 8 or 9 people - and this brings along with it all of it's own problems when trying to manage a chicken farm.
