What are the challenges of selling animal feeds as a business?

[Kross]

Selling of animal feeds as a business is a pretty good business. It is not without it's own challenges. One of such is very low profit margins and making the business to depend on turnover.

Which other challenges do you know about selling poultry feed?

One challenge would be getting your supplies all the time and on time too. You need to find a way to always gets the product

That could be a good business for those who have knowledge on animal feed processing. One could acquire knowledge through training.

One main challenge that I find with selling of animal feeds is how to manage rats cutting through the bagged feeds and making it unsellable because no customer would buy a bag of feed that is probably torn in the middle or bottom.

Indeed, properly storing animal feeds can be quite challenging due to the risk of rat infestation. Failing to store them correctly could make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to sell the feeds.

This is one big challenge that I see those people that sell livestock feeds face. Some of them had to buy cats so that they would be able to control the situation.

Yes storing is a problem same with leaving them in a moist place. The feed can become sticking and people would not want to buy

The business is only profitable on areas that they keep the livestocks in large quantities

I don't think there is any location that doesn't have an abundance of livestock. They might not rear a particular kind of livestock but a particular livestock thrives there and selling it's feed is profitable.
