At the 2025 Nigeria Poultry Show held in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Obasanjo Farms Limited made a bold statement by introducing an array of advanced poultry technologies designed to transform Nigeria’s poultry sector. The company’s participation highlighted the growing importance of modern tools in enhancing productivity, sustainability, and animal welfare, while providing farmers with the means to meet the rising demand for poultry products across the country.
Idowu Ayodele, ICT and Utility Manager at Obasanjo Farms, emphasized that the event offered an ideal platform for poultry stakeholders—from smallholder farmers to commercial producers—to engage with cutting-edge solutions and gain insight into the future of the industry. According to Ayodele, the company showcased both traditional and modern innovations, including state-of-the-art feeders and drinkers imported from India, integrated with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These innovations are aimed at enhancing efficiency in farm operations while ensuring better health management for poultry flocks.
The introduction of AI-driven monitoring systems represents a major step forward in poultry management. These systems analyze flock behavior in real time, detecting early signs of disease, stress, or abnormal feeding patterns. Such early detection allows farmers to intervene promptly, reducing mortality rates and minimizing financial losses. By leveraging these technologies, Obasanjo Farms enables producers to make data-driven decisions, optimize feed usage, and maintain healthier flocks, which ultimately leads to higher production yields.
Beyond productivity gains, these technological interventions also focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. By tracking flock health and resource usage digitally, farms can minimize wastage of feed and water, reduce energy consumption, and lower the environmental footprint of poultry operations. This is particularly critical in Nigeria, where the poultry industry is expanding rapidly and needs to meet growing consumer demand without compromising ecological balance.
Obasanjo Farms’ approach also underscores the potential of technology to create safer and higher-quality poultry products. With real-time monitoring, producers can ensure that birds are raised under optimal conditions, improving meat and egg quality for consumers. Furthermore, by reducing the spread of diseases through proactive monitoring, farms can maintain biosecurity standards, enhancing public confidence in locally produced poultry.
The company’s demonstration at the poultry show served not only as a display of innovation but also as an educational opportunity for farmers. Stakeholders had the chance to interact with experts, understand the practical applications of AI and IoT in everyday poultry management, and learn how technology can be adapted to farms of different sizes and capacities. This knowledge-sharing component is vital in promoting widespread adoption of smart farming practices across the country.
Obasanjo Farms’ leadership in this sector exemplifies a broader shift in Nigerian agriculture—one that merges traditional farming techniques with digital innovation to build smarter, more resilient, and economically viable poultry operations. By championing technology-driven poultry management, the company is setting a benchmark for the future of farming in Nigeria, where sustainability, efficiency, and animal welfare are at the forefront of production strategies.
The 2025 Nigeria Poultry Show thus became a pivotal event, showcasing how innovation can transform poultry farming. Obasanjo Farms’ contributions signal a new era for the industry, where farms are increasingly connected, data-informed, and capable of meeting both consumer expectations and environmental responsibilities. As Nigeria’s poultry sector continues to grow, the integration of modern technology promises to enhance productivity, profitability, and food security, ensuring the industry remains robust for years to come.
