I found out that the only cost component I could control in my poultry business and still maintain efficiency was cost of medication. I had to delve into research and develop an organic medication program that helped me to reduce my costs drastically. What it did for me was that it helped me to sell at a lowered price because my production cost is lower which in turn increased turn over for me and I made constant profits.
